capacity audience, more than 2.000, was responsible for an outstanding performance by the Edmonton Pops Orchestra at the Sales PavUlon Wednesday night. It wasn't because the orchestra's interpretations were smoother or more expressive than the previous three concerts this season-regular patrons have demonstrated their enthusiasm for top-calibre entertainment on each occasion. But it was the spontaneous appreciation shown by the newcomers in the audience that was conveyed to the orchestra, their conductor, and to the audience as a whole. The evening's program was well balanced: familiar selections such as Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" and the Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana" evoked no more applause than did a novel interpretation of the relatively new "From San Domingo" by Arthur Benjamin. Equal Enthusiasm No single offering could be Identified as the "best." The audience welcomed each interpretation with equal enthusiasm.

If there were any highlights, they were the performance of guest artist Bernard Turgeon, and the conducting of Lee Hepner. A more intense Strauss than that usually encountered was revealed in the orchestra's opening selection, the overture to "The Gypsy Baron." The familiar melody theme showed concord and precision In the brass, alternating with the strings. The opening oboe solo of the offering featured Bud Wood. The Schubert symphony, of which the first movement Thousands Of Children Gather At Playgrounds 4 11 i I tlx X'l't dJ2 Following a day-long attack by more than 500 fighter-bomber of the U.S. Air Force, Marine and Navy air elements, this post-strika aerial photograph reveals the destruction t-f the Suiho Reservoir hydro-electric plant on the south shore of the Yalu River in northeast Korea.

Always among the most popu OTTAWA, (CP) Pte. Glen Ronald Blank, 28. of Carman, once sentenced to be hanged for the death of a Korean soldier, has been released from prison and restored to his previous status in the army, defence headquarters said Wednesday. His release from life imprisonment came after the court-martial appeal board, in a review pf his case, ruled that he be given a new trial or freed. He previously was convicted by court-martial in Korea.

An army spokesman said a new trial is not considered feasible. Blank was released Tuesday in Winnipeg and Is free to decide whether he wants to leave the army he joined on the 18-month Special Force basis or apply to join the regular force. A court-martial in Korea found I him guilty of murder in the death of a South Korean soldier named Ee Chong Sung on March 16, 1951. The sentence was commuted to I life imprisonment by Brig.

They were, for the most part, glad to be back and are looking forward to the 60 days leave their service has brought them. They were the last movement of Canada's 25th Infantry Brigade to be returned to Canada on rotation. Most of the men, at the end of their leave, will have the opportunity of taking discharge if they wish.

Cpl. L. S. Tetlock, Edson, and Pte. Dennis Carson.

Sherbrooke, who arrived in Edmonton on the C.P.R.'s 6:25 a.m. train from Calgary, said they have had all they want of Korea. Although Cpl. Tetlock is a permanent force man and will be staying in the army following his leave, he hopes his army career will never take him back to Korea. Pte.

Carson said he will definitely take his discharge but plans beyond, that are Indefinite. Before joining the special force for Korea, he was employed by the C.N.R. As leaves for the men started in and they were permitted to continue "on their own" from that point, many expected to arrive on the early train Thursday were not -aboard. Several families, at the station to meet sons or brothers, were disappointed. They were expected, however, on later buses and trains during the day.

The trainload of veterans on arrival at Calgary at 5:00 p.m. Wednesday were welcomed by Calgarians who entertained them at Currie Barracks and in the Canadian Legion. A special organization had been set-up to provide a "traditional western welcome." The sea voyage from Korea to Seattle aboard the troopship Gen. Gaffey was a good one and required 11 days. Cpl.

Tetlock said. Food and accommodation aboard were good. U.S. PLACES U.K. CONTRACTS LONDON, (Reuters) The United States has already placed 20,000,000 worth of defence equipment orders in Britain, Nigel Birch, parliamentary secretary to the defence ministry, said Wednesday.

McCarthy Claims Limit To Delicacy CHICAGO, (AP) Senator Joseph R. McCarthy told the Republican convention Wednesday that in the fight against Communists' in government "there is a common sense limit to gentleness and delicacy." "In this fight," McCarthy said, "some of my cood friends have accused me of being too rough. To them. I say there is a common-sense limit to gentleness and delicacy. That limit is where disloyalty and treason begin." The Wisconsin senator has been the storm of contrbversy.

in which he has been accused in some quarters of "character assassination" and of using totalitarian "guilt-by-association" tactics. McCarthy said State Secretary Dean Acheson has been hitting Communists and Communism with "a perfumed silk handkerchief at the front, door while thy batter our friends with brass knuckles and blackjacks at the" back door." COME IN OR PHONE: was played, was marked by graphic changes in volume and tempo, merging later into the familiar "Song of Love" theme. In I this offering particularly, Hep- ner's understanding of the com- poser's intent was forcefully con veyed to the musicians. Popular Baritone For his fast group, baritone Bernard Turgeon chose "The Two Grenadiers" with its "La Marseillaise" theme; "Little Bateese;" and the perennially popular "Green-Eyed Dragon" by Charles. Always a popular performer here, the 20 year-old singer was encored twice as he made his third guest appearance with the orchestra.

He was accompanied at the piano by Patricia Rolston. Substantial proof of the appeal of the compositions of contemporary Leroy Anderson was provided in the orchestra's interpretation of "Blue Tango," a current favorite In the popular field. Climax of the interpretation was a puckish duet featuring percussionist Frank McCleavy and piccolo player Don Walmsley. Second Half Herold's "Zampa Overture," with its vivacious, swift-moving tempo, opened the second half of the program. The orchestra's French horn section and clarinetist Ray Perrier were featured in the Interpretation.

The climax was marked by a crescendo outlined by the trombones. Hauntingly delicate, yet commanding in its stature, was the reading of Mascagni's famil.ar "Intermezzo" from the opera "Cavalleria Rusticana." Here too, Lee Hepner's directions drew the utmost interpretation from the orchestra. Veteran Edmonton musician, James Home, and trumpeter Norman Fester, were featured in Benjamin's "From San Domingo." The arrangement was novel In that Home played a saxophone and Fester a muted trumpet, both rarities in symphonic arrangements. Gives Encore Final group of offerings by Bernard Turgeorr included Gounod's "Le Veau d'Or," "Danse Macabre" by Saint-Saens and the familiar "Some Enchanted Evening" by Rogers anoV Hammer-stein. Powerful dramatic moods were established in the Gounod composition, contrasted with the sombre expressiveness of "Danse Macabre." So enthusiastic was the audience's reception to "Enchanted Evening" that the artist followed with an encore cf another "South Pacific" song, "Bali H'ai." Three members of the orchestra: oboe player Bud Wood, viola player Roderick Cook, and trumpeter Hugo Miller, were featured in the arrangement of the semi-Oriental fantasy by Ippolitov-Ivanov, "Caucasian Sketches," divided into two movements.

A hilarious encore offering, a fantasy on "Little Brown Jug," featured first trombonist Graham Smith playing his horn in the finest "slush-pump" tradition. At the concert's conclusion, Clarence Richards, chairman of the Edmonton Recreation Commission, stated that' the- concert's success was due to the co-operation of the Edmonton Musicians' Protective Association with the commission. "There has been a crisis." he said. "I was doubtful if there would be another concert in the present series, but your attendance here this evening has removed that doubt. There will be another concert, and I feel sure you will all attend." J.B.P.
