Paul Hindemith, modern music pioneer, succumbs at age 68 A j5 FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) Paul Hindemith, one i the most versatile musicians of the century and a pioneer of modern composition, died in a hospital of a circulatory ailment 1 1 Saturday night. He was 68. Although famed as a compos- 1 er, i i was equally -known in Germany as one of the best viola players of his time.

Concert master at the Frankfurt Opera House at the age of 20, Hindemith weathered a Nazi ban on his works, eventually became a U.S. citizen, and taught at Yale. A prolific writer, his works included operas, symphonies, ballets, string quartets, trios for piano, violin and cello, sonatas for violin, viola and cello, violin concertos and organ compositions. FORM STYLE Hindemith sought to start again from the classic forms of 1895 in 1933 as un-German. Adolf Hitler violently disliked Hindemiths music.

The composer left for Switzerland and Turkey where he set up conservatories, secured hundreds of orders for German music firms and forced the Nazis to tone down their criticism of him. The composer toured the United Staes as a violinist in 1938, and then taught at Yale and the Berkshire Music Center before moving to Switzerland in 1953. He held a post at the University of Zurich and maintained residences in Switzerland and the United States. FAMED OPERAS International fame came more through his operas, especially Cardillac, News of the Day, Lindberghs Flight written with Kurt Weill, and Sancta Ssusanna. Perhaps best known, however, was his symphonic poem Mat-this der Maler Matthis the Painter, heralded as the most successful work of the 1935-36 cencert season.

Hindemith received many awards, including the $34,000 Sibelius Prize in 1955. Earlier this year he was awarded the $56,250 Balzan Prize in recognition of his contribution to music. PAUL HINDEMITH Mrs. Hoover, Wrightsville, 91, succumbs Mrs. Margaretta Susan Hoover, ninety-one, widow of Dr.

The room was used as Gator Bowl press headquarters the past three days. The opponents in the Gator Bowl football game North Carolina and the Air Force Academy were staying at other hotels. Frank Howard, coach of the Clemson football team and a guest of the Roosevelt for the Gator Bowl game, said he and his wife were having breakfast in the hotel cofefe shop when they smelled smoke and fled.

Harry Mehre, former football coach at the University of Georgia and the University of Mississippi was with the Howards. Mehre also escaped safely. CAGE TEAMS FLEE George Olson, executive vice president and general manager of the Gator Bowl, said all players on the Manhattan College and the University of Florida basketball teams escaped in night clothes and bare feet. The teams played in the Gator Bowl tournament which ended Friday night. Describing his, rescue of Miss America, Fielden said: I found Donna leaning out her 10th-floor window, choking and gasping for breath.

Her chaperone was unconscious on the floor. Fielden said he picked up the unconscious chaperone, Lucille Previti, and told Donna to follow him. They retreated to Fieldens room across the hall, where the smoke was less dense. Firemen soon led them to safety. GOOD CONDITION Miss Axum and her chaperone were reported in good condition at a hospital where they were treated.

Chief Fire a a 1 E. C. McDermon said asphyxiation caused most of the deaths. He said there was strong evidence that the blaze began in the Emerald room but the cause was unknown. Hotel doorman Alton Joseph Crowden called the first alarm into the fire department.

The hospital said their conditions are good and they probably will be released Monday. Miss Axum said she was awakened early Sunday morning by a phone ringing in the living room of her two-room suite, but she didnt answer because they werent due for a morning call until a later hour. The next thing I knew, I smelled smoke and heard sirens, she said. I told Lucille the hotel must be on fire.

Lucille collapsed from the smoke and I finally gave up trying to hold her over the sill. I continued leaning out the window, calling for help, qntil we were rescued. BROKE INTO ROOM William Fielden of Miami broke into Miss Americas suite. I found Donna leaning out her window, choking and gasping for breath, he said. Her chaperone was unconscious on the floor.

Fielden, in a hospital inter, view, said that a short while after rescuing the ladies, he reentered Miss Axums room and found a man and woman unconscious on the bathroom floor. He said he assumed they had stum, bled into the room during the confusion after he had rescued Miss Axum. Firemen removed the couple whose identity was not learned.

LEAVES FOR BONN The chancellor winged by helicopter late in the day to Bergstrom Air Force Base at Austin, held a news conference then took off for Bonn by jet just as the last vestiges of a beautiful red sunset were fading in the west.

He received formal military honors as he left, including a 19-gun salute. And, repeating what he had told a news conference in a little different language, the stocky, rubicund German assured onlookers who turned out to see him off that he and Johnson had reached full agreement and full understanding. This is not a diplomatic statement, he said. It is just the truth, I feel. And high U.S.

government sources had much the same appraisal of the sessions. DISCUSSION AIDS One official said that he thought the Texas ranchhouse and the Texas barbecue had contributed to the spirit of the meeting. And, with reference to the crowded state of the Johnson living room when the President and chancellor had brought aides to the conference table, he said another factor was that things could not have been anything other than intimate and this had helped the discussions. Both Erhard in his session with newsmen and U.S. sources spoke again of the need for continuing to explore ways of bettering East-West relations and easing tensions.

Among other key points in the communique that followed Johnsons first full-scale conference with a foreign leader were these: The two men agreed that there should be no arrangement that would serve to perpetuate the status quo of a divided Germany. And they share a commitment to the peaceful reunification of the German people in freedom, by self-determination. Erhard, the document said, emphasized his countrys desire to examine all paths that might lead to this goal and stated West Germany would also seek to improve its relations with the nations of Eastern Europe."

Starlings appear at water works to complete census Alcohol Continued From Page One Investigators are canvassing hardware stores and supply houses dealing with food catering firms in an effort to find the source of the toxic alcohol.

Spelman said they are looking for an institution type canned heat with a 50 per cent wood alcohol content. He said, however that inves tigators, including members of the homicide unit, are being hampered in the search by a lack of cooperation from the victims and what police called the evasiveness of shopkeepers. Spelman said the regular canned heat, of the conventional five per cent variety, is used as a base for the homemade wood alcohol drink. The alcoholic content is not sufficient to cause death, he said. The drink is made lethal by squeezing the alcohol out of the canned heat, then adding wood alcohol, Spelman said.

By STERLING F. GREEN WASHINGTON (AP) President Johnson has made economy in government the dominant domestic theme of his young administration but the savings to date are of peanut proportions in the elephantine federal establishment. Johnsons no-nonsense directives have jarred the bureaucrats into a frantic search for savings, made a lot of headlines, scored some political gains for the President, and enlisted the support of many businessmen. They also have improved the prospect for tax reduction in early 1964, for Johnson inherited the late President Kennedys tacit understanding with Congress that the $ll-billion tax cut will be approved only if there is vigorous pressure on spending. The Johnson economy drive has jmpressed the lawmakers.

LITTLE DENT Nevertheless, in terms of 'cold cash, Johnsons moves thus far wont make much dent in the lowance which the House voted last week for Congressional stationery, stamps and telephone calls. And the prospective savings from closing 33 military bases would not even cover the pending $168-million pay increase which Congress members are considering for themselves and upper-government administrators. The payoff for the taxpayers, if any, lies in the behind-scenes preparation of the 1965 budget for the government year starting next July 1. Here Johnson is getting in his hardest licks, but the results will not be known until he sends the budget message to Congress on January 21. Hundreds of major and minor bureaus have seen pet programs slashed, hoped-for staff increases eliminated, and dreams of a new projects go glimmering.

CEILING ON JOBS As an unpopular Christmas present to his cabinet, Johnson announced a ceiling on over-all arate species was reported by the census takers, although it was learned that many species did not seem to be present in their normal number. Ducks were not seen in great numbers because the Susque hanna River is reported frozen over 90 per cent of its length in the county. Another unusual finding was the high prevalence of pheas-ant in this area. The greatest number were concentrated along the Conestoga Creek, according to club members. LITITZ CENSUS Smaller numbers of starlings and other species were reported by the Lititz Bird Club, which took its annual census of that area Sunday.

Barton L. Sharp, recorder for the club, said 13 obervers reported an average total of 60 species in the area, but he added that fewer numbers of most species were counted. Some unusual additions to Lititz visitation records were six White Winged Crossbills, a Wood Duck, Red Headed Woodpecker, and two rare breeds of spar' rows. The starlings are back in normal numbers at the Lancaster Water Works and all is right in the county bird kingdom. Their absence was noted by census-takers of the Lancaster County Bird Club Saturday afternoon.

However, visits to the starling habitat aftrer dark Saturday and early Sunday disclosed the birds were roosting in large numbers. Vernon Browne, president of the club, reasoned that the starlings were frightened away from the Water Works area during the initial census and returned later. He said the 18 bird counters split into groups and then met at the home of Charles Y. Tan-ger, 318 President to tabulate their findings. THRUSH SEEN One unusual report was made by a woman, who saw a Brown Thrush in her yard last week.

Browne said the bird must have lost his bearings on the trip south because this species is exclusively a warm-weather variety. The normal total of 62 sep inexorably rising cost of serving 1 federal employment. For fiscal a growing population and an expanding national economy. The crackdown on chauf-feured official limousines probably will not save as much money as the extra $2.7 million al- 1965, he ordered, total year-end employment must be smaller than that of 1964 or 1963. Nothing like this has happened in the last decade, the President proclaimed.
