Children's Tour of Music Center liiWr III: levels on reserved group basis only, on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Not only has the wording been simplified, but two important "techniques" have been added to capture the attention of restless young minds, according to author Boren.

At this understandable comparison, rows of young heads nodded in appreciation as all eyes focused on the gold leaf fan-shaped sound curtain high above the Pavilion's stage during the tour's many trial runs-scheduled last month to give the 45 active Symphonian3 guides a chance to memorize their new lines. BY SHARON E.

FAY Tlmw Stiff Writer "This has been very Inter-resting," exclaimed a fifth grader to the guide at the conclusion of a special dry run of the new children's tour at The Music Center. The new tour officially starts today. It is essentially the same as the regular adult tour which The Sym-phonians, auxiliary to the Los Angeles Junior Philharmonic Committee, have been conducting at The Music Center since July 1965 but the language has been changed.

The adult level wording just wasn't adequate," explained Symphonians tour chairman, Mrs. Dennis Boren, who co-authored the new tour with the help of Mrs. Charles H. Sandberg and Mrs. Charles D.

Hunt. Mrs. Boren and her committee, spurred on by the interest of the Los Angeles Department of Education, rewrote the adult tour on a fifth grade level. It will be offered preferably to fifth grade and on up age pupils from Lincoln Elementary School SIMONE SIGNORET starring in new film thriller "Games." Simone Signoret Visiting L.A. for Fun and 'Games' BY PHILIP Timtt Motion Sultry, studied Simone Signoret has again been gracing our town (always a pleasure, Mme.

Montand), this time to play games. That's the name of the picture Games." It is supposed to scare audiences in much the same manner as "Diabolique," one of this actress' notable early successes. Curtis Harrington, who once made an imaginative little quickie called "Night Tide" and served for some time as assistant to the late Jerry Wald, thought up "Games" with George Edwards and on the strength of a 12-page outline they sold Universal on the financing, with Edwards producing, Harrington directing and a final script by Gene Kearney. had been shown 'Night Tide' and thought it had lots of quality," Miss Signoret explained shortly before returning to what she called her motherland.

And even though it's not a super production I've gotten to the point where I do only what amuses me." Most of the action which Miss Signore shares with James Caan, Katharine Ross, Don Stroud, Estelle Winwood and Kent Smith takes place in a two-level New York apartment celebrating Mod, Op and Pop Art. Suffice it that Simone commits two "vicious" crimes and gets away scot-free.

This, says the press agent, makes "Games" "controversial." The actress articulated an interesting theory of why actresses are unable really to explain their profession to interviewers like this one. "When I was young I couldn't speak much; actresses can't very well about what they're doing. Now Please Turn to Page 9, Col. 1 monthly; and the master's earner only $1,111. Adding insult to application, the degreeless employe can expect a larger annual increase in pay than the boys who stayed in school.

After a decade of plumping for education as the all-American antidote for almost anything, the PICS report is indeed peculiar. The wage gaps are not only in the snowy, ephemeral areas of persuasion. In industrial engineering, the men with no degree average $54 more per month than the graduates. In aero astro engineering, a non-graduate earns almost $100 more than a B.S. man.

In chemical engineering, the bachelor's carrier makes slightly more, on average, than the Ph.D. True, the chemical engineer with advanced degrees can expect more volatile raises then his bachelor's colleagues. Yet friend NeelyK without machine, has computed that it will take the Ph.D. more than 100 years to catch up, figuring his education has cost him three additional years and $10,000 that the B.S. employe never spent True, too, there are more fields in which education translates neatly into wages (market research, sales marketing, mechanical engineering, nuclear physics, among them).

But in today's supposedly codified market, there obviously remains room for the perspiring self-making man. PICS' chart does not tell us the gross numbers of wage earners involved, nor the numbers of no-de gree men versus Successful graduates in each category. We are obviously not as neatly stratified as our own propaganda would have us believe. And if education is the panacea, after all, the advantages are more in life than in a living. my on new tour of The Music Center.

The woman grown i3 Devorah Wigoder, who followed a spiritual quest, became a Jew, married a rabbinical student and bore their sons in Israel. Humor and Humility It was not easy for an Irish-Catholic girl whose sister was a nun and whose brother was a priest.

As she tells her story with humor and humility in the book and in person during a visit to Los Angeles Mrs. Wigoder had to earn a "Kosher seal of good housekeeping" from all manner of Jewith authorities and Jewish friends. None were easily persuaded, and the reconciliation of her own family took years. "There were moments when I questioned my own wisdom in becoming a Jew formally," she said. "It would have been so much easier to have kept the secret to myself." Her eventual conversion, she said, "had begun for me as a compulsion to know the Jewish people, to find out why so many had tenaciously held onto the Jewish strand of man's identity.

The basis of my hope was that in knowing this people, and discovering the reason for their enduring permanence in human history, I would find myself." This question of perpetuating Western Union, which I have never been able to pronounce quickly because the Ns pile up in my nasal passages, has a rapid new subsidiary called PICS (acronym for Personnel Information Communications System). It is yet another example of employing the computer to marriage. This time, instead of machining breast-beating Tarzan for the proper loin-clothing Jane, the idea is to mate skilled man to needy corporation. A man, who may already be gainfully employed but ready to play his field joins PICS and fills out a form that manages to jiffy-code his skills 1,310 ways. An employer subscribes to the private PICS service in order to find a rounded soul best suited for his vacant peg.

What can be applied to love can work for earnings; the computer has no preference between ecstasy and enterprise. But my friend Leigh Neely, whose interests in PICS are hi3 own business, has lately forwarded some of its computer intelligence. And here, under the fleshless heading of "PICS Salary and Salary Increase Analysis By Major Skills and By Educational Levels," come some surprises. For instance, in the turbulent area of advertising and sales promotion, the man with no college degree has a higher average salary than the one with bachelor's degree. The employe with a bachelor's has a higher average salary than the onetime scholar with a master's.

The statistics, for those who seek truth in numbers, are that the no-degree man in advertisingsales promotion averages $1,340 every month; the bachelor's man $1,258 jfTt t'i 'Vis 7 AT MUSIC CENTER Lincoln Elementary School teachers assist Syrr.phonian tour guides in readying pupils for Music Center tour..
