Frank, like the Russian born
violinist Isaac Stern, is con
sidered a major American pian
ist although he was actually
born in Germany in 1925,
Shortly before the outbreak of
World War 11, the Frank family
fled to France where Claude en
tered school and resumed his
music studies. When Hitler march
ed into France, the Franks march
ed over the Pyrenees to Spain.
In Madrid, Frank practiced five
hours a day on a music store
piano where someone overheard
him and suggested he play at a
party given by the Brazilian am
bassador. The American ambassa
dor was at the party and with
his influence, the Franks were
able to get visas for the United
States.
In 1948, Frank joined the fac
ulty of Bennington College in
Vermont and was appointed to
the assistant , conductorship of
New York's Dessoff Choirs.
Since he made his New York
debut with Toscanini's NBC Sym
phony, he has played throughout
North America and Europe as a
recitalist.
He makes annual European
tours the most recent in the
spring of 1959. This tour was high
lighted by a debut with the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra in Lon
don.

Kennedy Will Win Nomination
At Convention Silva Predicts
Dr. Ruth C. Silva, an acknowl
edged expert in political analysis
predicts that Massachusetts sena
tor John F. Kennedy will be
nominated as the Democratic
candidate for President at the
party's convention in Los Ange
les.
Dr. Silva, associate professor of
political science, believes Ken
nedy's margin of victory in the
West Virginia primary elections
demonstrated his popularity with
the voters.
If the Democrats fail to nom
inate him, she said, it would
be at the peril of losing the
Catholic vote.
Catholics might consider it an
affront if Kennedy were not
nominated, she explained, and the

She noted that the recent U-2
spy plane incident may change
the nomination picture somewhat,
but added that she could not pre
dict what effect it would have
on the nomination until public
opinion about it was better crys
tallized.
Stevenson's public comments
about the administration's hand
ling of the incident and his ex
pressed policy toward the So
viet Union may make the U-2
incident either_ a help or a hin
derance to him in his bid for
the nomniation, she said.
The incident may at the same
time affect Kennedy's chances
at the convention, depending on
how well the public feeLs the
administration has handled the
incident, according to Dr. Silva.
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
STATE COLLEGE. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. JUNE 28. 1960
ducted by C. Richard BeaM, a
graduate `8 tudent in German, from
July 6 to Aug. 12.
Mr. Beam said that preference
will be given to children who
have had little or, no foreign lan
guage instruction and that the
children will attend classes that
will meet at 9 a.m., two or three
times each week.
The purpose of the course is
to acquaint those presently
teachitig German and those
planning to teach German in
the public schools with those
techniques which will bring
about a mastery of the German
sound system. oral mastery of
the basic structure of German
as well as the ability to read
and write.
In order to demonstrate de
sirable and effective techniques
in teaching children the all-im
portant initial phases of such
instruction two demonstration
classes will be conducted: a group
about eight years of age and a
junior high school age group. The
demonstration classes will be
conducted entirely in German.
A further aim of the course will
be to acquaint language teachers
with the latest thinking about the
fine art of language teaching.
Special emphasis will be
placed upon the contributions
to modern language teaching
theory by descriptive linguis
tics and cultural anthropology.
Students will be given an oppor
tunity to examine critically the
latest textbooks and the accom
panying audio-visual aids pre
pared for elementary as well as
junior and senior high school use.
German language films, fl im
strips, tapes and disc recordings
will receive the same scrutiny.

"Communist-inspired riots" for
blocking his visit to Japan.
But he said ratification of . the
new U.S. -J a panese Security
Treaty—which the rioters sought
to thwart—was "a signal defeat
for international comihunism that
far outweighs" the blocking of his
visit.
Eisenhower reported he has no
plans for further foreign journeys
during the remaining months in
the White House. But he made
plain he would not be dissuaded
byc any Red-promoted opposition.
The United States must "nev
er be bluffed, cajoled, blinded
or frightened" by Red tactics
aimed at splitting the free
world, he said.
He declared the value of his
visit to 27 countries nice he took
office in 1953 has been proved by
what .he said was a Communist
decision some time ago to oppose
his goodwill tours.
The President appealed to
Americans not to allow "the un
happy events of the past sev
eral weeks in Japan" to impair
U.S.-Japanese trade rela.tims or
weaken the friendship "which
unites the vast majority of the
Japanese and American people."
Eisenhower reported to the
American people a day after re
turning from a two-week journey
to the Philippines, Formosa, South
Korea and U.S.-held Okinawa.
"We cannot win out against the
Communist purpose to dominate
the world by being timid, passive,
or apologetic when we are acting
in our own and the free world's
interests," Eisenhower said. "We
must accept the risks of bold ac
tion with coolness and cour

"All the profit gained by past
and any possible future trips by
U.S .leaders will he quickly dis

abandon our present course in
