R. 1, St. Anthony, was found hanging by a rope from the hayloft of a barn at his farm home Sunday. Authorities said Coroner E. H. Schmutzler was conducting an to determine if the boy hanged himself intentionally or accidentally. Relatives said he had been in good spirita and helped his father with farm chores shortly before. Former President Hoover Is Bedfast NEW YORK (UPD — Herbert Hoover, 31st president of the United States, has been bedridden for the past 48 hours with an old kidney ailment complicated by a respiratory infection and fever, his physicians announced today. He is 89. The physicians’ bulletin said the former chief executive’s condition this morning was “fairly satisfactory.” It said Hoover was bleeding from the right kidney, probably a secondary condition to a kidney stone. Hoover’s health has had, its ups and downs since 1958 when his gall bladder was .removed. In 1962 he underwent surgery for a growth in the bowel. Last June he was bedded by anemia and intestinal bleeding, but he recovered enough to resume his normal routine in his Wal--1 dorf Towers apartment.

Khrushchev Urges Military Budget Cut MOSCOW (UPD — Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, admitting that the heavy Soviet defense spending. is a brake on the nation’s standard of living, has appealed to other nations to cut military Khrushchev’s unusual admission was disclo'sed Monday when a 12-page introduction he wrote to an Italian edition of his speeches was made public. But he added that the Soviet economy was capable of providing both guns and butter and expressed the belief that the world eventually will choose communism over capitalism. “Does not the necessity of supporting the defense bright of the U.S.S.R. at modern levels serve as a brake on raising the welfare of the people?” Khrushchev wrote. “Yes, it is a brake,” he added. “Rockets and guns are not butter, are not meat, , are not bread, are not kasha (hot cereal). Had it not been for the necessity of increasing the might of the Soviet armed forces, we could have steeply raised the living standards of our people and made them the highest in the world in the near future.” Western observers viewed Khrushchev’s statement on the merits of military or consumer spending one of the most candid he has made on the subject. ♦ Paper Drive Saturday By Monroe Scouts The Monroe Boy Scouts will have a paper drive Saturday, starting at 8 a.m. If any rural residents have papers to donate, they are asked to leave them at the Monroe Grain and Supply company by pick up time.

Symphony Concert Is Well Received

by Dr. Samuel L. Flueckigcr ' The laconic “Veni, Vidi, Vici” ’as expressed by Caesar many r centuries ago succinctly characterizes the appearance of con- . ductor Izler Solomon and the Indianapolis Symphony in the Decatur high school auditorium. Monday evening. Veni (1 came) to a hall primarily fitted for the activities of “Hoosier Mania” with its overbrillant acoustics and mostly less than comfortable seating. Vidi (I saw) that in spite of these minor handicaps a large crowd of those holding memberships in the Adams County Civic Music Association and their invited guests, the seniors in high schools of the county and their student teachers, were on hand to greet the visiting musicians and their leader. Vici (I conquered) the attention and affection of those assembled, especially many young folks, who in eagerness and anticipation were captivated by the performance of the orchestra. The typical reaction to the program was expressed by a lady in her native Swiss, “Es isch de grueseli schoen gsi,” (it was extremely beautiful.”) Kates In Top Ten Although somewhat of a “teenager” among major symphonies, the Indianapolis Orchestra is already rated as being in the “Top Ten,” an opinion readily substantiated by last night’s • concert. This reviewer found the strings richly sonorous, particularly the violas, cellos and basses; the vio- , lins, while adequate and flexible, seemed to approach “edginess” at times. The first oboe, the < clarinets and first) horn were especially effective in their solo spots. The over-all effect was one of elan, verve and youth (the average age is guessed at below forty), bespeaking the ideals and skills of their conductor, Doctor Solomon. The opening selection was the “Festival Overture, Opus 21,” by the Chilean composer Don Orrej go-Salas, who received some of , his training under American composers. Written in 1947 as a salute to his infant daughter, the work is vivacious as well as tenr der, abounding in exuberance and . lyric contrasts. The second com- ■ position written twenty years - earlier (1927) was the infectious . “Polka and Fugue from the Opera ‘Schwanda’ ” by the Czech • composer Jaromir Weinberger. Dealing with the legendary Dudelsackpfeiffer (Bagpiper) of Strakonitz it abounds in a variety of folk tunes treated with ingenuity and brilliant technical skill. The late Richard Strauss was represented by his symphonic r poem “Don Juan,” Opus 20. Pro- ; grammatic in character, the tone r poem relates the adventures of ( the famous “casanova” whose many romantic escapades lead only to frustration, disgust and an ) untimely end. Strauss was a i master of orchestration, able to “depict” in sound the moods, , scenes and events such as those treated in the "Don Juan” legI end. t Symphony of Evening • The symphony of the evening was the E. Minor, No. 5, Opus 64 of Tschaikowsky. Written in 1888, this work has long been associated with programmatic con-tent—-the inevitable rendezvous of mankind with fate or destiny — whether hopeful, cruel or tragic. The contrasting four movements are bound together by a somber 1 “motto theme” stated by the clarinets at the very outset. Al1 though it differs in treatment, 1 the "motto” is heard! in each ' movement as the unshakable hand of destiny, weird, and gloo- ! my until the final movement, when the aura of dread and defeat is changed to hope and tri-

umph. Generously responding to the cordial audience, Conductor Solomon presented two extras— 1 “Hie White Peacock” by the American Charles Tomlinson Grilles. First appearing for piano, this work in the orchestral version abounds in the French style with th’e melodic lines allotted to the wood winds. 2 “Saturday Night, (Barn Dance), a composition of the former dean of the Indiana University school of music, Robert Sanders, was typical Americana, fresh and exuberant. Conductor Solomon led his musicians with a sure hand, yet modestly and unobstrusively, sharing the enthusiastic response of the audience with the ladies and gentlemen of the orchestra. The Adams County Civic Music Association is to be congratulated for ther efforts in bringing this musical treat to its people.
