Van Cliburn's Piano Still
For First Time In Years
NEW YORK (API For the first
time since he was 3 years old.
Van Cliburn's piano is silent.
The blond. bushy-haired 24-year-eld
Texan is under doctors" or
ders to stay away from a key
board for two months, while the
middle finger of hu right hand
heals from an operation. Then h
will be allowed to practice, only
lightly for another month
A complete rest is distasteful to
Cliburn. He has practiced dailv
for 21 years, four hours a day
before concerts. Now. after the
operation on an abscessed linger
tip. he is restless to resume his
heavy schedule.
"The fact that 1 can't play is
more injurious to my morale than
the pain 1 sustained." the pianist,
elad in pale blue pajamas and a
blue plaid robe, remarked at the
Hospital for Special Surgery.
Despite his W9WMM, he has
kept busy in his prnate eighth
floor room,, from which he can
look northward at barges moving
slowly along the Eos) River.
Now he has a chance to watch
teleision "Something I never
had much time for before."
' I've done a little readirrg. too.'
he reported. "Poetry, for the mo
mentpoetry more ih.in prose
A favorite is Lord Bvron
On his bed lay an orchestration
of Samuel Barber's "Capricorn
Concerto, and he had just fin
ished playing a Metropolitan Op
era recording of Barber s opera
Vanessa. Among Ihe hooks piled
on his table was "Olin Downes on
Music."
An abscessed finger is more se
rious than it may sound, and Cli
burn's physician has ordered him
to rest in the sun when he is re
leased from the hospital.
"Every concert is only post
poned." he replied, smiling, to a
question about cancellations. "I
don't belipve in cancellations.
Never close the door, you know.
"I have received several invita
tions to play with my good hand
some pieces like Ravel s "Left
Hand Concerto" but the doctor
thinks I should rest."
One major regret wai postpon
ing a concert trip scheduled in
the Sowet Union next month the
country where he became famous
by winning the Tchaikowsky piano
contest last April.
Cliburn thinks his finger he
came infected while he was clip
ping his nails a necessary chore
lor pianists and he apparently
cut the one nail at an odd angle.
"I've had lots of sore fingers
hefore. and played in spite of
them." he remarked. "In fact,
one linger was split down the side
the tught I won the competition
in Moscow. Bui this one was so
bad I could hardly play."

A research center, employing
impartial experts, could list the
advantages and disadvantages in

said.
If something is not done soon

MOSL'L, Iraq 'AP Iraq's
landowning Arab sheiks have suf
fered a crushing defeat in Mosul
that may hasten their final dis
persion into the desert.
The palace of the paramount
sheik in this city of minarets on
the banks of the Tigris is blood
stained, scarred by gunfire and
gutted by looters after the failure
of last week's rebellion against
Premier Ahdel Kanm Kassem.
Sheik Achmad Ajil Alldyawar
a handsome figure in flowing trib-
dress, is absolute ruler of 60,
000 Shammar tribesmen in Syria
Iraq and Saudi Arabia. He is be
lieved to have escaped into the
desert while his followers fought
from room to room defending the
palace With him may have gone
virtually all of his power in the
economic and political structure
ot the country.
It appears in Mosul that the re
bellion was the work of sheiks.
wealthy merchants, sympathizers
with President Gamal Abdal Nas
ser of the I nited Arab Republic.
and ambitious officers divergent
lorces with the common aim only
of overthrowing Kassem
"The wealthy were behind the
plot." said a French priest at a
Dominican Roman Catholic mon
astery surrounded by mud
walled dwellings of the poor.
"They were afraid they would
be dispossessed. They were going
to lose some of their land because
of the agrarian reform law. They
took up arms against the govern
ment and now thev will lose all "
The battalion commander whose
forces restored order for the go
ernment claimed that Col. Abdul
Wahab Shawaf. who led the re
volt, was an opportunist encour
aged by Sheik Ajil. lesser sheiks
and wealthy city merchants who
also are absentee landlords of
farmland tilled by the peasants.
I hey are said to have been pro
voked to force by the govern-
nent's attempt to put into effect
an agrarian reform law issued by
Aassem two and a half months
after last summer's revolution
overthrew the monarchy. Redis
tribution of land is a major pro
ject of Kassem. who says the rea
son for overthrowing the mon
archy was the urgent need for
improv ing Ihe lot of Ihe incredibly
poor masses.
For centuries most of Iraa's
farmland has been owned by
landlords who took up to nine
tenths of the crop. The reform law
limits ownership to 600 irrigated
or 1,200 unirrigated acres. It pro
vides for redistribution of the bal
ance to peasants, with the owners
to be repaid over a 20-year period.
n recent weeks the leltist Bach
dad press had been complaining
lhat authofttips in Mosul province.
n tne northwest corner of the
country, were dragging their feet
in putting the law into action.
The Shammar tribe of nomads
in central Arabia marched with
the llashemites against the Otto
man Empire in World War I. Aft
er the British installed Hashemite
King Faisal I as ruler of Iraq,
Shammar sheiks became extreme
ly influential politically and eco
nomically. Gradually many of the
tribe settled on farmland on the
fringes of the desert, but thou
sands still roam with herds of
camels from western Syria
through Iraq and down into Saudi
Arabia.
The tribe is still a law unto it
self, with hundreds of lesser
slinks acting as judges of the
first instance and Ihe paramount
shi-ik the final, supreme judge.
Achmad Ajil. who succeeded as
paramount sheik when his father
died a tew years ago. is a young
looking, dark skinned man of
about 40 and extremely wealthy
The tribe owns hundreds of
thousands of acres, some of it
his name, some in the name of
the tribe. Achmad Ajil also owned
nig warehouses and factories in
Mosul. He divided his time amonc
his Baghdad and Mosul palaces
and with his tribe in the desert
A foreign acquaintance says he
bought tractors, plows, combines
and other modern equipment to
improve the lot of Ihe tribe.
But when threatened by redis
tribution of land which might lead
to the shattering of the tribal sys
tem, he ordered thousands of his
tribesmen to Mosul to participate
in the revoK.
Kurdish tribesmen from the
northeast, who are less dominated
by their sheiks, arrived in Bagh
dad on Kassem's side. Shawafs
soldiers turned on him and killed
him after he was wounded in
bombing by Iraqi air force planes.
Pro-Kassem city dwellers, al
ready organized into a volunteer
militia, were joined in the mnnun
of the rebels. Estimates of the
dead run as high as 2.000.
Most of the Shammars faded
into the desert. A laree number
were said to have been killed by
pro-Kassem villagers
Achmad Ajil was first reoorted
killed and his body hune from the
heels on the bridge over the Ti
gris but a government spokes
man says he is believed still at
large.
