These letters are delightfully informative. Stravinsky knew Rimsky-Korsakov as a teacher and cle-, scribes him thus, as well as the disheartening view that the "Russian Five" (Moussorgsky, Borodin, etc.) are stifling in "stale naturalism." He sometimes leans toward cynicism (which he tries to justify), but al any rate, the book takes on a personal warmth with words that flow as beautifully as his musical compositions. Igor Stravinsky proves himself to be a master of communication in words as well as music.

CONVERSATIONS RECORDED Volume Illuminates Mind of Stravinsky By fcl '(iENE LEVIN ROME, July 11 tf Olympic fever is gripping Home a full year aheaU of the I960 Olympics. From one end of the city to the other construction trews are swarming over masses of concrete and steel. Slowly rising are the stadiums and sports palaces for the games, a vast village for the athletes. Entry forms from countries around the world are pouring into the Italian Olympic Committee, organizers of the games, in a record flood. Tourist officials are out canvassing the city to find enough beds for the expected 150,000 visitors.

Itomans are full of talk about the Olympics. They expect their ancient sites to give the games some of their ancient flavor, Kvery Sunday Romans and other Italians spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lottery feeding the Olympic treasury. Pope John XXIII has said he wants to receive all Olympic contestants. All Ihe sinus point In a biR show the biuucsl spurts carnival ever Held, the Itulinn wKunirrn say.

Already 55 countries have entered one or more sports. Ahout athletes from til) countries are expected to he on hand once the games net under way on 25, HIMI. Never before in Olympic history have so many countries entered. To accommodate the Kami's the Italians are putliiiR loelher an athletic plant of enormous proportions ranging from Iloman sites to spnnkim! new marble stadiums with sweeping, modern lines. Heloie the Italian Olympic Committee Is finished, it expects to spend close to 1)1 billion lire preparing for th Karnes.

II HAD STAIU' Home has not had to start com scratch in preparing lor the Olympics, Its ancient emperors and its modern dictator, the late Itenito Mussolini, nave it a head start. Mussolini drwimed of many Ureal events for Home inchidiiij; a rhuiice (o slauo the Olympics and a bit; Worlds Fair. Without wailing for a go-ahead from International Olympics officials, lie set about constructing bis Euro llalico (Italian Forum) on the outskirts ol the city. His name Is still on a monument there, and the city council has debated whether to "erase" It for the Olympics, The Font lUilica is a massive spoils complex, sprinkled with muscular statues of gladiators and Italian heroes, Construction of Its key building, a stadium, was Interrupted by the war. But it was finished eight years ago and christened Olympic Stadium in anticipation of the KltiO games.

Along with the Olympic Sla-diuin at the Foro llalico I here is a smaller "Marble Stadium," sealing several thousand. It is ideal lor field hockey games, NOT CONTENT Hut Italian have not been content with one big stadium, A lew blocks nway from the Forn llalico they tore down the old Torino Stadium two years ago and In record time put up a new giant called the Flaminln Stadium. A maze of graceful arches and covered stands, it will be used for Olympic soccer games. liight next to the Flaminio Stadium the Italian huill a I'alazetto Dello Sports Palace" for the Olympic weight lilting and basketball events. It is a modernistic structure resembling a big concrete bowl turned upside down.

Mussolini's dreams of a World's Fair contributed more space lor Iho Olympics at another center across Home, on the southern outskirts. There, he started building lor his World's Fair, the F.sposi.ioiie Universale Itomarm EUR. The war again blocked bis plans. Now a "Palazzo Delia Sport" a big "Sports Palace" with seals for III.OIMI is rising on an Ft HI hilltop. It will host the Olympic boxing and basketball contests.

Also at FUR, crews are putting tip a ltl.ooo-seat Velodrome for cycling events. A congress hall at FUR will house the fencing contests. Swimming pools are being dug at both EUR and (he Foro llalico. Practice fields are being cleared at both places. BIO ASSIST Not all the help has come from Mussolini.

The organizers re. reived a big assist from the ancient Romans. Gymnastics will be staged in the vast ruins of the baths of Caracalln, favorite pleasure spot of wealthy Romans 2,000 years ago. The Massenzio Basilica, another great ruin of ancient Rome, will provide a site lor wrestling. Even the Colosseum may be used.

The marathon will be run party on Appian Way, the oldest existing road in the world and Iho scene of chariot races in ancient times. Sentiment rrtay one reason for the. Italians using the old ruins, but economy is probably bigger one. Taking advantage of the oltl Rites saves faying out more cash for new stadiums Thai's partly why existing la- Huill ol Rome. Much of the buotle and bustle about Rome is lor the trimmings that go with the Olympic Games.

Near the Foro llalico construction crews are putting up Olympic Village, a group ol apartment houses to lodge Olympic athletes and olficials. Elsewhere road crews are waring on a spe-rial express highwayskirting the Vatican and the chaotic Iral-lic of central Home to connect the two main Olympic sites at Foro llalico and EUR. ATHLETES' HOME The Olympic Village is planned as a home away Iroin home for the visiting athletes. It will be a collection of three and lour-story apartment buildings, perdied on modernistic stilts of concrete. There will he lawns and trees.

Dormitory living is out. Luxury-like apartment living will replace it. The present idea is to have no more than two athletes to a room. And every three or lour rooms will be grouped into an apartment with its own kitchen. That means the athletes ran grab a snack, or raid the icebox, anytime they wish.

If an Indian alhlete craves a curry, or an American wants a hamburger, or an Englishman is lired of Itulinn spaghetti, there's nothing lo keep him Irom hustling up his own victuals. Bui the kitchen don't mean cooking will be compulsory. There will still he the usual Olympic mess halls. Those kitchens have another function other than allowing the -athletes to cook up home-sly le meal. The kitchens mean the Olympic Village will be easily ((inverted into apartment dwellings lor permanent use alter the and all the money spent i on the village will not be lost.

The big cultural show will be tied directly to the Olympics. It will be a "sports exhibition," made up of paintings and statues collected from many museums and depicting sports through the ages.

Professor B. Robertson of Rcrea College has selected, edited, and introduced essays on the church by one of the world's most eminent Protestant theologians. Reinhold Niebuhr, the famous American theologian and professor at Union Theological seminary, has written some pertinent essays in Ihe years from 1931 through 1957; these have appeared in such serious periodicals as "The Christian Century" and "Christianity and Crisis." Dr, Niebuhr's essays selected by Dr. Robertson fall into groups relating to IP the weakness of common worship In America; (2 the reluctance to moral leadership by the church; (3) the Barthian or "Continental" view vs. the "Anglo-Saxon" view of the church's ethic; (4) the Catholic conception of the church and natural law ethic of the church; and (5) the ecumenical movement.

In all, there are H2 essays that can be described in summary as succinct, mure analytical than most religious writings, often criticalsome will say "negative" and very readable to an interested readership. While the overall design of the iiook avoids personalities and deals with principles and practices in divided Christendom, the views of nco-Vrthodox Karl Bnrth do come in for pro and con discussion. Since the Swiss Calvin-ist Barth is probably the foremost living theologian this should not be considered to irregular, especially when he is judged one of his near-peers. The fact that Dr. Niebuhr was wrong in bis predictions about Cardinal Pacelli's chances ol becoming Pope does not destroy the Interest of his article In ail analysis of Vatican politics from the outside.

Igor Stravinsky, a contemporary artist whose contributions have altered the course of musical history, has offered the public the opportunity to know him personally through these conversations with the influential critic, Robert Craft. The American mind, familiar by car with Petroushka, The Firebird and Le Sacre du Prin-temps, may now discover Stravinsky's equally sharp and arrogant literary capabilities.

Here the reader may find the philosophy behind the man, the causes, creation and results of his masterpieces. A dozen different types of excitement arc provided in the same book, including music in general, its past and future, and the contributions of Stravinsky and other contemporary artists. Robert Crall, through his questioning, attempts to explore the basics of Twentieth Century music, by including harmony, theory and tempo. In reply to Craft's questioning of (be use of mathematics in music. Stravinsky says, "It is, at any rate, far closer to mathematics than to literature certainly something like mathematical thinking and lelationships I am not saying that composers think in equations or charts of numbers, nor are those things more able to symbolixe music.

But composers think not very dilferent from mathematical thinking." He is pessimistic in his outlook on the development of American musical lile. He hopes that he is wrong, but according to Stravinsky, America's attempt to leave all "that avant garde stulf" to Europe in order to develop a musical style, has resulted in an abortive attempt at transparently "advanced intellectual stuff." Stravinsky backs up this outlook with more interesting conversations as he does with all surprising, but realistic approaches lo music. He charges (hat critics are incompetent, explains the availability ol his music hchind the Iron Curtain (it isn't available), expresses opinions en Jnit, and goes Into the possibilities of further exploitation In harmonics.
