BELL TELEPHONE HOUR (NBC, 10-11 p.m.).

...British wife Jacqueline du Pre has won an equally enthusiastic following for her accomplishments with the cello. Neither is shy about displaying virtuosity, and this disk demonstrates that Mr. Barenboim is master of his house even on the concert stage, for he conducts his wife and the English Chamber Orchestra into the crystal world of Haydn and Boccherini with great aplomb.

...STRING TRIO (RCA Victor). Piatigorsky's full-throated cello conducts a civilized but passionate conversation with the violins of Heifetz, Israel Baker and Joseph de Pasquale and Jacob Lateiner's piano.

He used the threat of an immediate decision against the City, and reminded the DPW that...
When the Truth-in-Lending bill goes to conference committee with the Senate, the previously timid upper chamber will find that the House has grown markedly militant, fed by favorable publicity and heavy public approval. Five consumer measures have already been passed by the 90th Congress, and more are on the way-prompting Lyndon Johnson, in his State of the Union message last month, to describe it as "the Consumer Congress." For the time being at least, the American consumer reigns as king of Capitol Hill...
