Recent Works Played In Sunday's Concert
By JOHN HUSAR
In undertaking a concert review, we usually confine ourselves to discussing the performance of the music played. However, in Sunday's Midwestern Music and Art Camp orchestra-chorus-band concert, we were given the rare opportunity of hearing two comparatively recent works.
The first was guest conductor Paul Christiansen's own arrangement of a work called "Spring." Sung by the camp Chorus at the afternoon concert, this number was done exceptionally well, due primarily to Mr. Christiansen's conducting. The Chorus must be commended for singing this wonderful piece "way over their heads."
The second work of special note, and possibly the more important, was the march, "World Freedom." Composed by Claude Smith, a KU music senior from Lawrence, this excellent march was written while he was in the Armed Forces. Performed by the band under the baton of Russell L. Wiley, "World Freedom" quickly overcame the many out-door distractions and caused the audience to perk up and listen.
In the opinion of this writer, the "World Freedom March," as it is most likely destined to be called, should be adapted by some concern or cause synonymous with its title ... it is that inspiring.
The afternoon concert by the orchestra and chorus was a fine display of talent-talent not only of the musicians, but of conductors Christiansen, Gerald Carney, and Gerhard Schroth.
The outstanding individual performer of the day was Kathryn Meredith, who elicited a most pleasant violin solo in McDonald's "Legend of the Arkansas Traveler."
This concert was done so well that even Granger's tired theme "Trish Tune from County Derry" was appealing.
The evening concert provided by the band and chorus was marred by two rather impromptu speeches by
the guest conductors. Granted that the intentions were fine, but the out-of-order speeches certainly took that intangible edge off of the evening, which is so vitally necessary in a concert hall.
Outside of the "World Freedom March," three band numbers, Brahms' "Overture to 'Academic Festival,'" Hadley's admirable "Youth Triumphant" and "Pines of the Appian Way" from "Pines of Rome," by Respiph, conducted by Mr. Schroth, were outstanding.
Two chorus songs stood above the others. "Lost in the Night" arranged by F. Melius Christiansen, brother of the conductor, appeared to be the better because of its pensiveness. Kay Kincaid sang a soprano.
The litling German folk song, "Mary Sat Spinning," was highlighted by the fine, cultured voice of Judy Mayhan who sang the soprano solo.
Maybe it was the Wakarusa view . . . or the American flag waving in the strong breeze . . . nevertheless, the Camp Band showed a marked improvement over the past two weeks.

Regional Rivers Are Lower
TOPEKA — (UP) — All rivers in the Topeka river district have returned to banks, the weather bureau said Monday.
It added that all were stationary Sunday or showed falling stages, with the exception of the Kaw below Manhattan. A slight rise which was continuing there was expected to begin leveling off Monday night.

With only scattered accident reports still to be counted, a United Press survey showed that between 6 p.m. Wednesday and midnight Sunday, 418 persons died in highway accidents. Drownings took 206 lives, fireworks accidents 3, plane crashes 16 and miscellaneous mishaps 69, for an overall total of 712.
Safer July 4, Council Says
California had more than one- tenth of the holiday deaths, with 47. New York had 32, Pennsylvania 29, Ohio 28, Texas 24, Michigan 19, Mississippi 18, and Illinois 16.
TOPEKA — (UP) — Gov. George Docking today criticized "Research at taxpayers expense" when the results of such research are given to private firms without cost.
The National Safety Council today took a look at the number of traffic deaths during the July 4 holiday period, and said that motorists and law enforcement agencies had done well.
The Governor said the federal government had some projects in the research stage that would benefit private concerns, rather than turning the results of the research over "on a wide open basis to all."
He cited the work of some KU professors who have done research on mellorine—an ice cream made from soybeans.
Docking said he was not criticizing the KU work, but the practice in some instances of the government contracting for research and then turning over the product on a franchise basis without cost to private firms.
"Whoever gets it should pay the government for the research," the governor said. "What kind of monopolies are being built up this way? Who's going to get the gravity of the free research?"
The marketing research was done for the U.S. Agriculture Department. A number of KU professors, under a research grant by the federal government, made market surveys and trips to Los Angeles, St. Louis, Portland, Ore., Charleston, S.C., among other places, according to travel vouchers.
Too Old To Salt Petunias
The 4th of July toll not only was held far below the pre-holiday estimate of 535 but below the 465 that a non-holiday period of the same number of hours would be expected to bring," said Ned H. Dearborn, president of the council.
COOLITIC, Ind. — (UP) — Fred Walden complained to a Justice of the Peace that a neighbor jumped over his four-foot fence and salted his Petunias.
Docking Questions Free Research'
But Mrs. Lily Lawyer, 55, said, "I'm too old and stiff to jump even a three-foot fence.
Good catfish bait can be made with one cup flour, one cup corn meal and 10 tablespoons of thick molasses, mixed into stiff dough and rolled into balls. The balls should be boiled 10 minutes, then dropped into cold water.

NEW YORK — (UP) — A combination of sexual obsessions and nuclear weapons threatens to destroy civilization, evangelist Billy Graham warned Sunday.
World Threatened-Graham
The 38-year-old revivalist told a packed Madison Square Garden audience of 19,200 persons that there has never been a generation so obsessed with sex as the present one
That obsession, coupled with materialism and atomic weapons, Graham said, threatens to bring an end to the present world system.
"If any generation ever needed to prepare to meet thy God, it's this one." Graham said. Especially the people of New York.
"One hydrogen bomb and you're done," he said.
"The Bible teaches that the world system was once-destroyed and it can be done again," he said. "There are many signs to indicate that the end of the world may be near."
The North Carolina Evangelist
said sex and violence on television programs were having a bad influence on young people.
"The sex conditions are the same today as they were in Noah's day." he told a jammed audience that included many standees.
After Graham's sermon, 534 persons went forward to make "decisions for Christ," bringing to 29,-369 the total during the New York crusade which began May 15.
Before his sermon, Graham spoke to an estimated 6,000 persons outside who had been unable to get into the huge sports arena.
In 1804 the Lewis and Clark expedition reported first observing the Rocky Mountain mule deer near the mouth of Ponce Creek in northeastern Nebraska. The expedition's record also reported that white-tailed deer were abundant along the Missouri River on Nebraska's eastern boundary.
