I The two great American conductors, Antal Dorati and Fritz Reiner, both of Hungarian birth, will direct their orchestras in concerts from Hungarian composers. In presenting an all-Bartók concert in Carnegie Hall, the American Hungarian Studies Foundation aims to present the best Hungarian contemporary music as a tribute to the composer and to the nation which gave him birth. In America today, the music of Bartók is sought after and acclaimed by music lovers and artists. Béla Bartók may be called the discoverer of the true Hungarian folk music along withh Zoltán Kodály. It is this music that he recovered for the future and with his great creative ability and passion accomplished the dynamic, the startling and captivating music which musicians of today know as the best of our day. At the time of his death in 1945, Bartók was full recognized by many musicians, although to most listeners Bartók was more a fascinating curiosity than as today one of the greatest masters of modern times. He spent his last years in New York City as a research fellow at Columbia University. In its nationwide commemoration of fifteen years of Hungarian studies in America, the American Hungarian Studies Foundation of Elmhurst, Illinois, is also sponsoring lectures. The Foundation is raising $500,000.00 for an expanded program of a Hungarian library and museum building. Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago maintains the only undergraduate department of Hungarian studies in the United States. The Foundation also has an office in New York City at: Suite 1005, 234 West 44th Street, New York 36, New York. SKYWÄTCH CALL CIVIL DEFENSE
