Disc Jockey with a difference
By Robert Lewis Shayon
Lovers of fine music in the United States are hereby alerted to watch' radio schedules this autumn for "The Sir Thomas Boocham Programme”, 55 minutes once a week of recorded solections and transcribed commentary by the celebrat- od English conductor.
Sir Thomas made his American debut as a "disc jockey" on August 2, over the independent New York station, WQXR. Already some 270 other American stations throughout the country have requested the recorded 26-week series, and the programmes will pre- bably be made available to them when Sir Thomas and the Royal Philharmonic Or- chestra arrive for a tour of the U.S. late this autumn.

Master of "mike”
Sir Thomas is not at all im- pressed by the microphone, seems very much the master of It, and is obviously having a good time. Out of a wide and privileged ex- perience with music, and an in- timate knowledge of the people of the world of music, he lays about him with gusto.
In His Berlioz programme, speaking of the four operas which the French composer wrote, Sir Thoman remarked: "They are likely to remain in dismal obscu- rity so long as the present-day type of operatie manager or pro- moter is permitted to exercise authority or control, and the pro- grammes and pollefes of theaters both in the Old and New Worlds-remain dictated by poli- ticians, pedagogues, Instead of

Mr. Gaitskell conferred this morning with British Embassy officials on financial and econo- mic matters.
In his talks with American officials, he is expected to stress that Britain should be granted the maximum amount of dollars possible under the mutual defence programme for off-shore pur- chasca, especially raw materials, for Britain's rearmament pro- gramme.
Mr. Gaitskell is said to know that the French Finance Minister, M. Maurice Petsche, and the De- fence Minister, M. Jules Moch, who will arrive here this week, will also try to get as meny fred dollars as possible for the pur- chase of raw materials for their rearmament
