Ferrante And Teicher Thrill Music Lovers

By MARLENE LAURENT The piano artistry of Ferrante and Teicher thrilled members of the Adams county Civic Music association at the opening concert of their initial season Monday evening at the Decatur Youth and Community Center. Presenting a program which ranged from the old classics to modern classics and modern popular music, the piano team drew excited applause from an audience which thoroughly appreciated the remarkable talent of the noted Ferrante and Teicher. The pre-intermission part of the program was devoted to classical selections inclndink "Jean. Joy of Man’s Desiring" by Johann Sebastian Bach-Hess, ‘'Sonata in D Major" by Wolfgang A. Mozart, "Va-

rfations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn” by Johannes Brahms and “Hungarian Rhapsody” by Franz von Liszt. While all Os thejse displayed the marvelous technical perfection and deep feeling of the two pianists, the climax as far as the audience was concerned was undoubtedly the beautiful "Hungarian Rhapsody." Ferrante and Teicher’s rendition of this familiar classic drew sighs and comments of pleasure and praise from their Adams county listeners. The final portion of the program featured two modern classical compositions, “Danses Andalouses" by Manuel Infante, a Spanish composer who stamped the composition with the Spanish flavor, and the

short but interesting "Sonata" by Francis Poulenc, a completely modern and difficult to play composition marked with daring harmonies. One of the ttam explained the final selection, saying that it was typical of the composer to write with "tongue in cheek.” They pointed out that the ending is somewhat of a surprise, adding plat ‘.‘Sometimes even we are surprised.” Perhaps the most outstanding quality of these two pianists is their flawless co-ordination. It was evident throughout the entire program that Ferrante-and Teicher think identically. Their Interpretation of each composition showed the result of almost a lifetime of playing togethe*. This complete unity of thought and emotion combines with their individual mastery of the piano to produce what critics all ,over the country have termed, "the most exciting piano team today.” Another remarkable trait of Ferrante and Teicher was brought out in the four encores which the audience literally demanded. This is their ability to swing instantly from a "heavy” classic to popular jazz and still retain their “feeling" <or the piece they are/playing. The encore session of Monday night’s concert was apparently “dessert" for the pianists as much as for the audience. Ferrante and Teicher obviously enjoyed presenting Gershwin's “Rhapsody In Blu?’’ which they called one of the finer compositions written in the idiom of Tin Pan Alley. TJjis composition was also thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. The second encore was the popular “Embraceable You" by Gershwin, and the two pianos poured otit one of the finest arrangements of this melody we have ever heard.

Another encore which fascinated the audience because of its unique Bounds and unorthodox methods of producing them was "Oya Negra," : a Brazilian Samba. Played with what they termed a “prepared piano”, the composition sounded as j though it were being played on; bongo drums, musical sticks and several other unnamed musical instruments. The audience was intrigued to see the pianists lean over and pluck the strings of the piano during this number. While an eu tire evening of this type of music might be difficult listening, it certainly displayed the versatility of both the piano and the pianists, and was a fascinating extra for the audience. The final encore was in still another vein, "Stars and Stripes Forever" by John Philip Sousa. This triumphant march, made even more stirring by the Ferrante. Teicher interpretation, ended a satisfying musical evening for Adams county music lovers. The local association can indeed 1 be proud that they enabled this area to hear such fine music and if the first evening is a sample, the

entire concert season will be outstanding. Bulbdr Polio Fatal To Middlebury Youth SOUTH BEND (UP) — Donald ■Rose Miller, IS.

Congressmen Report Trips Were Official 19 Traveled Free On Luxury Liners By UNITED PRESS Congressmen who traveled free on government-owned Panama Canal ships said today their trips were fnr official work of congressional committees. The steamship company (Thu, closed Monday that 3 U. S. sena tors and 10 representatives had traveled free on its luxury liners during the last 15% months. The company also said six employes Os congressional comniittees also traveled free on 15-day cruises to the canal and that the junketers were accompanied by a total of 35 dependents who were required to pay only 25 percent of the usual passenger fares. The canal company’s board of directors ordered passenger lists for the company's three sister ships, the Ancon. Cristobal and Panama, be given to reporters. The board voted in Washington ■ Saturday to make public files long demanded by newsmen seeking facts and figures on congressional junkets financed by taxpayers. The action was taken -following a statement by President Eisenhower at his news conference last Thursday that he could see “no reason on earth” why the passenger lists should not be made public here as they are in Panama. The steamship line is owned and operated by the federal government to carry supplies and personnel to the U. S.-run Panama Canal Zone. Most of the traveling congresmen and committee employes were members of the house merchant marine and fisheries committee. which has jurisdiction over all legislation affecting the Panama Canal. The traveling senators were W. Kerr Scott (D-NC), and William R. Laird 111 iD-WVaj with his wife and 16-year-old daughter, who sailed aboard the Ancon from New York Aug. 23, and Clifford P. Case (R-NJ), who sailed with his wife and two children last Dec. 15. Laird said in Charleston that he and Scott went to the'canal zone as members of the post office and civil service committee and conferred there with the Panama Line Pilot's Assn, "in regard to working conditions." "My wife paid her fare and our daughter's fare and I paid our hotel expenses and food while in Panama," Laird said. Case, in Boston for a speaking engagement, said there was “po secret! about the trips and that “the practice has been carried on in congress as long as I’ve known." He described his own trips to the canal zone as a member of the civil service committee asi "real useful” and said he thought “publication of the facts is in the public interest.” Rep. James A. Byrne (D-Pa.) said in Philadelphia he was sent to the canal as a member of the

Fortunately this minor fire occurred only after the other blaze had been brought under control. A large crowd of people gathered to watch the fire. Six railroad box cars, loaded with soybeans, were charred. They were on the Pennsylvania railroad siding beside the burning warehouse. The extent of damage to The contents of the boxcars was unknown this morning. Some damage was also caused to power lines and transformers of the Decatur light and power de partment. However, L. E. Pettibone, superintendent of the department, stated that he thought the damage would not be heavy. The fire apparently started in the north end of the building where the burlap was stored. Decatur fire chief Cedric Fisher indicated that it probably started front spontaneous combustion and smoldered for a while before spreading. The fire was spread throughout the building by a dust explosion and it was only then that the fire was noticed by neighbors at about 4 p. m. The explosion was heard at the fire station just a block away and volunteer firemen were called immediately. The fire fighting was hampered at first by low water pressure but the situation was aided by the direction of the wind. A no~theast wind and the fast work of firemen helped to keep the blaze

from spreading to other buildings and houses. Had the wind been blowing in the other direction toward the buildings instead of toward the empty field across the railroad tracks. It might have been impossible to keep it from spreading. The dry condition of the area because of the lack of rain and the initial low water prpssure »would have aided the spread of the fire. However, once the pressure was brought up the fire fighters were able to give the area a thorough soaking and confine the fire to the warehouse. The building was an old one and quickly disinte-' grated in the flames. A more exact estimate of the loss will be available in a few days when the three companies have had time to complete inventories.
