A musician of many talents who has had choral music published. Lane says.

"If something is not entirely original, unless it has never been done before, I won't do it." The choral idiom comes easiest for Lane who wrote a hymn, Holy Fire." for the recent ordination of Dr. L. J. Wilson to the permanent diaconate. "My pet ambition is to be able to write a symphonic type of music for full orchestra," says Lane.

LANE DOES net depart from traditional forms when composing even though he demands originality of his work. "I don't think the possibilities of the traditional scale forms have by any means been exhausted." he says, "Quarter tones and tone rows are not necessary yet." "The most Important thing in composing," says Lane, "is to have something to say." Music can speak, he says. "Something can be said as profoundly in music as it can be said in words," he explains, "and often when we are at a complete loss for words it says something better than words. This is true of many of our deeper experiences." Lane, who was organist and choirmaster at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Minneapolis, 14 years and has held similar positions in several Twin Cities churches, feels there are tMjp types of church music: Utilitarian music Big Three to hold on In Berlin in the face of Soviet threats and Hollywood television and radio's uses of music.

Another principle on which the Council members appeared to be solidly agreed was that the Big Three, with the backing of the Western allies, must not remova their troops from West Berlin. That, they stressed, would mean abandoning the 2' million people there to Communist conquest a result which could lead to the breakdown of the Atlantic Alliance.

A number of speakers also followed the lead of the Big Three and Germany in specifically rejecting disengagement. The removal of Soviet and Western forces from divided Germany, it was argued, would eventually lead to the neutralization of Germany, a result which the Western powers reject. But considerable Interest was expressed in the possibility of creating a xone of limited forces in Central Europe, backed up by some form of inspection.

Ptarktt said any new Berlin arrangement worked out with the Soviets should be based upon the presently existing right of the United States, Britain and France to keep forces in West Berlin as a result of their victory over Germany in World War II. Soviet forces are in East Berlin on the same basis but the Soviet Union has proposed to end its occupation responsibilities and turn over full authority to the East German Communist regime.

Since the Soviets have a veto in the United Nations, any plan such as that proposed by Canada would have to have Soviet approval to go into effect. Diplomatic officials reported that in Friday's closed-door meeting of the Council, several points were stressed by various speakers. But everyone who spoke, one informant said, used the word "firmness" to describe what he thought the basic Western attitude toward the Soviet Union should be.
