The problems are typical of the experimental theater. Diction is terrible and at least half the language couldn't be heard.

Although the frigid wave had lessened, chilly weather still dominated many eastern states.

Florida's worst freeze in 15 years destroyed $120 million to $150 million of tomatoes and citrus fruits, said Frank Pope of the Agriculture Department's Florida Emergency Board. The ruined tomatoes alone were worth $43 million, Pope said. "Celery, lettuce and peppers were wiped out," Pope said. "They were ready to harvest." As a result, growers are saying that fresh vegetables will be in short supply in the East during the next few months, and prices are certain to increase. When Gov.

Reubin Askew declared a state of emergency Saturday because of the freeze, aide Ron Sachs said that the declaration would open the way for farm workers to get unemployment compensation they normally wouldn't qualify for. Although citrus industry officials say one-third of the crop may have been lost, if the frozen fruit is picked right away it can be processed for juice concentrate. Officials also have said that the freeze may have been a blessing for the orange growers because they had faced a surplus that would have forced down the price. Meanwhile, most Dayton, Ohio, schools will hold classes today, but the superintendent has told Gov. James Rhodes that chances of remaining open beyond this week are bleak.

Supt. John Maxwell said the schools probably wouldn't be allowed to use gas "if it's going to put the kids' daddies out of work" by cutting off the supply to the factories. J0- 30 fc. Jtft Station mm Life, plays music of a more consciously artful sort than does the Black Label Bunch. There is nothing rustic about Charlie Parker's "Yardbird Suite," which formed a good portion of the band's second set at the Rainbow Gallery Saturday night.

This is music of the city, 52nd St. in New York City, to be exact. This was an off-night for the ensemble, however. Sax player Harry Peterson, who was taking tickets at the door between sets, was sitting in for two regulars Dick Oates (alto) and Morris Wilson (tenor) Jim Gauthier, the new trumpeter, was playing his first gig with the band. Bobby Peterson (also with Natural Life) was on piano, Jay Young on bass, Lagos on drums.

Aleta Kim, busily copying out charts at the bar between sets, was "guest vocalist," replacing Roberta Davis who usually sings with the band. "Yardbird Suite" started out limply with a Peterson baritone solo that never caught its stride and was largely drowned out by La-gos's energetic, resourceful drumming.

Thomas, Trinidad Vera Crui By Michael Anthony Staff Writer Saturday night on the West Bank: There's so much music around of various sorts one is afraid to hum a tune. Soon there'll be three of four more humming harmony. "Hey, let's start a humming band. We'll open the act at the Extemp." On this given Saturday night, there was a full house of people at the New Riverside Cafe drinking tea and cider and catching the first set offered by Mad Jack and the Black Label Bunch, a quartet of young urban rustics that specializes in music of the Southeast part of the country: bluegrass, Cajun music, blues, old country and new country. At the same time, at the Rainbow Gallery, a little place on 6th St.

owned by Steve Kimmel that features all kinds of music nightly but specializes in jazz, a quintet called the Minnesota Space Bop Orchestra was wailing away. A few minutes after 9 p.m., the members of the Black Label Bunch, heard frequently on the "Prairie Home Companion" radio show, walked onto the little Riverside Cafe stage, put down their instruments, took off their coats and proceeded to tune up. "Hey," says mandolin player Bob Douglas, "You know what you get when you drop a piano on a military base, dontcha?" "No," says fiddler-guitarist "Pop" Wagner, "Whaddaya get?" "A-flat Major," says Douglas. The joke goes over well, the punch line repeated around the room. Tuned up, the band launched into "Blue Ridge Mountain Blues," Wagner and Mary Dushane playing fiddles, Douglas on mandolin and Bob Bove on guitar.

Then Wagner, who looks like Droopy, the old animated cartoon character, sang the vocal on a Cajun tune, "The Hobo Blues." Everybody sings in this band. Ms. Dushane's solo was a contemporary country number, "She's In Love With a Rodeo Man," one of those lugubrious country ballads that would be favored by Loretta Haggers on "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman." The best ensemble vocal was heard in "They're Comin' Home," a tune recorded in the late 1920s by the North Carolina Ramblers which could be called a precursor to Western swing. Late in the set Douglas took up the banjo for a bluegrass number and after that contributed a virtuosic spoons obbligato on "Hy Mama Baby Won't You Stop That Thing." This band is great fun to watch and to listen to. They perform with obvious affection for the many styles they incorporate and, like all good entertainers who delve into folk idioms, they veil their technique with an aura of relaxed spontaneity.

By Robert Lindsay New York Times Service i Los Angeles, Calif. California boasts of its seemingly omnipresent sun and, when smog does not tinge the horizon, of its clear, cloudless skies. But these days California is desperately longing for some clouds. California, especially its northern parts, is experiencing a severe drought for the second straight year, and this winter's drought appears to be worse than last year's. Florida fruit and vegetable crop last week, the California drought will affect food prices, Gordon Snow, an official of the state Department of Food and Agriculture, said.

Reserves in many of the state's major reservoirs are at their lowest levels ever for this time of the year. State officials have warned 29 communities that they should prepare to ration water and told 21 others that such a step may become necessary. Farmers have been warned that Irrigation water will be cut back. eral aid available to farmers located there. Last year, most of the drought's impact in the state's $8-billion-a-year agricultural business was felt Dy cattlemen who had to buy feed for cattle normally fed by range grass grass that did not appear on the parched rangeland or was too light to sustain herds.

This year, according to state officials, the water shortage affected producers of cotton, tomatoes and scores of other crops that use irrigation water. California sells mor agricultural products than any other state, and it uses irrigation more than any other state. "The have people of California With this year's principal rainy season half over, Neudeck said rainfall in many areas was averaging less than 20 percent of normal. And barring a deluge of vast proportions, he added, "which I don't think is very likely, the 1976-77 rainy season will be the driest ever." In one of his last official acts, former President Ford Thursday declared a drought emergency in 23 northern and central California counties, making emergency fed never experienced having the tap run said Donald Neudeck, an official of the state Department of Water Resources, who is in charge of monitoring the drought. "Well, this year it will be different." Last year, the state's rainfall was Coupled with the freezing temp- fin the High Sierra mountain eratures that ruined much of the range, the snow pack is so light.
