...players), local (half of the musicians come from east Texas), young (average age: 30) and very enthusiastic over its new conductor. Though there is an impressive "Founded in 1901" at the top of its programs, the present orchestra is really only five years old: in 1945, after a wartime hiatus, Hungarian-born Antal Dorati (now conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony) reorganized it and made it for the first time a competent, nationally respected organization. Hendl has continued Dorati's tradition of introducing new works. With Rudolf Firkusny at the piano last month, he conducted the orchestra in the world...

The proliferation of government agenefes, bureaus, corporations, departments, etc. since 1932 alarms even Democrats--yet screams of anguish arise (from the CRIMSON) when a year passes without the usual bales of half-baked legislation. The "Republican hiatus" represents nothing more reactionary than a pause to think--but thinking seems to be out of style when government is conducted on sales...
