dards. This was emphatically denied
by George Brown, president of
Brown and Root.
Brown Booth, public relations di-
rector for the construction company,
said that the picketing has not
held up the schedule so far. "How-
ever," he added, "if there's any dan-
ger of delaying the job, we will
seek court action." He insisted that
there were no unsatisfied workers
on the job and that the strike was
the un-called for intervention of an
outside party. Union officials have
made no comment on this latter
statement.

Symphony Sparkles
At Mid-Season
By Allyce Tlnsley
Traditional mid-seasonal slump
did not attack the Houston Sym-
phony orchestra last Monday night.
The orchestra conducted by Efrem
Kurtz again showed the sparkle
which* has characterized its per-
formance during the 1949-50 season
to date.
In selecting the brilliant Sym-
phonic Metamorphises on Themes
by Carl Maria Van Webre, Mr.
Kurt set his audience ready to
receive Mozart's gentle touch in the
"Symphony No. 40 in G Minor" and
the haunting beauty Dvorak of
"Cello Concerto".
The program was a study of con-
trasts—Hindemith's weird string
undertone sharply pointing up the
deft Mozart handling of flute and
oboe; the classical precision and
coldness of Mozart's deepening the
poignant wormth of Marion Davies'
delicate interpretation of the Dvor-
ak "Concerto".
Possibly the most memorable of
the evening's three offerings was
the Hindemith. The contrast offered
in the four seperate themes- was
less important than the haunting
Oriental touch of accentuated rhy-
thm overlying1 the muted violin sus-
tained notes; the ting of triangles
highlighting the gentl'e woodwind
passages.

VIRUS TEST —

dio-activity. This doesn't tell what
kind of virus is present, but it does
give scientists a method for test-
ing suspected fluids for the minute
virus.
Mrs. Altenburg has also been
spending much of her time study-
ing the growth curves of the var-
ious detected viruses and hopes to
be able to classify groups of them,
at least.
In the future Mrs. Altenburg
hopes to perfect her theory, and to
be able to use less and less eggs,
consequently making the process
more rapid. The south could cex--
tainly profit greatly by the Siscov-
evy, for then polio would no longer
be a dread enemy.
