Bray gir KILLED IN CRASH ON HAY 70 CONCERT SOLOIST Tchaikovsky Work Civ-en Modified Treatment By THOMAS B.

SHERMAN Malcolm Frager, the St. Louis-born pianist, who has established an international reputation, gave a sensitive performance of the Tchaikovsky Flat Minor Concerto at yesterday afternoon's concert of the St. Louis Symphony in Kiel Auditorium Opera House. Eleazar de Car-valho conducted. The soloist played a version of this familiar work that differed in several particulars from the one usually performed outside Russia.

The opening measures of the first movement were treated as arpeggios instead of solid chords. Seventeen measures were added to the final movement and tempos were slightly changed. These differences conformed to the original score that Frager examined when touring the Soviet Union. Quantitatively speaking, the changes would not have amounted to much, but the arpeggios provided Frager with a guide to a new and more lyrical interpretation. In consequence, his treatment was less monumental than the standard block-busting approach.

But it was also more graceful and more poetic. The beauty of tone and the fine legato sen-tences were outstanding features of the performance. As both the perception and the execution were the products of a fastidious taste, the emotional content was never excessive. The orchestral accompaniment was guided along similar lines by de Carvalho. The weight and the texture of the sound were balanced against the solo instrument.

Narrow differentiations of shading became particularly evident in exposed passages when the orchestra was playing alone. The concert was opened with "Variations for Orchestra" by the American composer Elliott Carter. The thematic material was angular and ungainly and the general effect suggested a high degree of intellectual tension rather than a state of grace. Carter's skill as a manipulator of sound was quite evident, but the results evoked cold respect rather than love, Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," as arranged for orchestra by Maurice Ravel, was the main work on the first part of the program. The vivid coloring supplied by Ravel, which enhances the descriptive quality of the several sketches, was reflected in the performance.

A number of the soloists in the brass and wood sections made striking conrtibutions. The performance of the Mous-sorgsky work as a whole wai lacking in finish at times. The concert will be repeated at 8:30 tonight. PLAY "AWARDS AND SURPRIZE PARTY" FIRST Convenient Term APPLIANCE to 1000 Youngsters At-tend Dog Takes Part in Program A man slipped his arms around the neck of Patrolman William Ruedlin and held tight as hundreds of small eyes widened. "A bad guy's got you in a neck hold," Ruedlin explained.

"What do you do? You can say 'Please let me go, Mister Bad Or you can take your fingers and push, like this He slipped away. Ruedlin and the "bad guy," Patrolman Joe DeBisschop, staged the escape yesterday as part of a self-defense demonstration rt Pruitt-Igoe. More than 1000 youngsters were on 'land to watch the Law Enforcement day program, sponsored by the Pruit-Igoe Neighborhood Association and the St. Louis Police Department. Dog Demonstration A highlight of the program was an obedience trial performance by a 100-lb.

German sheperd police dog named Par-rish. This was held outside in a parking lot. Parrish leaped through mock-up windows, sniffed out a hiding fugitive, and nabbed a fleeing "robber" as Sgt. Robert Busch narrated the performance. Several hundred Pruitt-Igoe youngsters lined the fence to watch.

Many more leaned out of windows. To those who knew police dogs only from pictures on what they had heard, it was something to see. When Parrish spun and ran barking toward one of the fences, Busch called out: Don't States were urged to initiate programs to get rid of unlicensed and unregulated nursing homes in a resolution adopted yesterday at the convention of the American Nursing Home Association at the Chase-Park Plaza Hotel. The resolution said that such nursing homes were a detriment to legitimate nursing homes. Bootleg nursing homes give the public a bad impression of legitimate nursing homes that are properly licensed and regulated, it was stated.

In another resolution, the association called for nursing home operators to prepare for acceptance of medicare patients on Jan. 1, when medicare nursing home benefits become available. The association said, in a telegram to President Lyndon B. Johnson, that the association was prepared to co-operate in making the medicare program a success. Ed Walker, the owner of two nursing homes at Miami, was elected president of the association.

Others elected were C. B. Francis, Austin, first vice president; Mrs. Virgil Davis, Denver, secretary; and Theodore Hawkins, West Haven, treasurer. HAMILTON ALLOWED TO TAKE ARMY PHYSICAL IN EUROPE NEW YORK, Nov.

5 (AP) Actor George Hamilton, Lynda Bird Johnson's most prominent escort, has been given permission to take his Army physical examination in Europe, it was disclosed yesterday. A spokesman at New York Selective Service headquarters said Hamilton's local board had, under standard procedure in such cases, sent Hamilton a letter agreeing to his request to take the physical abroad.

ATTORNEY'S OFFICES TO BE OPEN ELECTION DAY WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (UP1) The offices of United States attorneys will be open next Tuesday election day to give immediate attention to any reports of federal election law violations.

Reid Ross, executive vice president of the St. Louis Regional Industrial Development said yesterday. The firms, with 31,000 employes and annual sales total- ing $2,500,000,000, are a "surprisingly high proportion" of i the 290 firms reached last i month by a delegation of St. Louis-area businessmen which went to Detroit. "Most of these firms are cur- rently operating at capacity and therefore are keenly interested in branch locations," Ross said.

"They are mostly one to five years from actual expansion, but either cannot or do not want to expand in Detroit, and are looking south and west of that i city. St. Louis, of course, is right in their line of vision. The primary reasons for their de- sire to locate outside Detroit are the shortage of labor in that area and freight costs." The Detroit manufacturers asked for more information and the RIDC staff is compiling data on costs and availability of labor, land and buildings; vocational training programs; costs of steel and other raw materials and the possibilities of development credit financing, Ross said. "Results of the trip were even greater than we anticipated," he said.

"We had, of course, done a great deal of advance spade work personal letters, advertising and mailings of an RIDC study pointing out the advantages of a St. Louis location. But we were surprised and gratified by the amount of interest we actually encountered. "The auto parts project seems to be well on its way to bringing new industry and new jobs into the St. Louis region.

Significant results may be apparent within a year." WOMAN SHOT TO DEATH IN MEACHAM PARK HOME Mrs. Mary Mobley, 78-year-old widow, was found beaten and shot to death yesterday in her home at 406 New York avenue, Meacham Park. She was found lying in the doorway between the bedroom and living room of the three-room house where she lived alone. St. Louis county Detective Robert Hite reported that an autopsy performed today showed that she had been shot once in the heart and had been struck several times on the head with a blunt instrument.

Mrs. Mobley apparently had been dead 12 to 15 hours when her body was found about 5:30 p.m. yesterday. Hite said there was no evidence that the house had been ransacked. About $80 was found in a dresser in the bedroom.

The body was found by neighbors who investigated because they had not seen Mrs. Mobley all day.

One of the most popular was a circle of pistols mounted with all the barrels pointing to a picture of a gangster in the center. Later the youngsters filed past a desk where a fingerprint expert carefully dabbed each small index finger with ink. He pressed it onto a card, and Other modifications to improve acoustics will include the laying of a wooden floor over the present concrete floor of the hall, and the sealing up of several arches that are now open. Closing the arches will form a corridor around the concert hall and will help to insulate it against outside sounds, it was explained. Also planned is a rearrangement of the seating with a reduction in the number from the present 3900-seat capacity to about 2600.

The mezzanine will be converted into a "grand tier" of private boxes, each with its own anteroom. Color Scheme The general color scheme of the hall will be red and off-white, accented by gold. Seats will be black with red velvet upholstery.

SAVINGS INSURED TO 1 5,000 NORTHWESTERN SAVINGS and Loan Association 5508 NATURAL BRIDGE EV. 2-5336 1575 ft HIGHWAY 140 FLORISSANT TEmple 8 4545 1 1 LI The old St. Louis Theater building was praised yesterday for its architectural and acoustical properties by a New York consulting architect who will assist in its conversion into a symphony concert hall. The consultant, Ben Schlanger, was in St. Louis with another New York consultant, Cyril Harris, to meet with officers of the St.

Louis Symphony Society and with local architects engaged for the conversion project. St. Louisa ns may consider themselves fortunate, Schlanger said, to have such an intrinsically good building. It will not be too difficult or expensive to remodel. Many cities are having to spend far more money to achieve the same end, he said.

$1,000,000 Renovation The theater, at 712 North Grand boulevard, was purchased last August for Renovation and remodeling are expected to cost in excess of 1.000,000, to be paid for out of funds collected in a $4,000,000 capital fund campaign now under way by the Symphony Society.
