Coalition Is Due To Break VANCOUVER (P Politic s signs are construed here as definitely pointing to a possible end of the Coalition government in British Columbia before the provincial election in 1953. The probability became all the more obvious when Finance. Minister Herbert Anscomb said In an address: "We may be going into the next election as a straight Conservative party without any-alliance with the Liberal party" in any way." The Coalition was formed 'n 1941 when Liberals and Progressive Conservatives Joined in a move against the CCF and Socialist program. The then Premier, T. D. Pattullo, refused t accept a coalition and John Hart became Premier to be succeeded, when he resigned, by Byron Johnson. PHONE or loronfo Vill Hear Kaufman Symphony WINNIPEG 0) Walter Kauf-mann, conductor of Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, says composing music isn't like baking a cake it has to be done when the idea Is there and the mood is right. Mr. Kaufmann's compositions have been played in Canada, the United States, Britain and Europe for more than 20 years. He has been writing music since he was a child in his native Czechoslovakia. His Fifth Symphony-he named it "Sinfonletta, because it is very short" will be played by Toronto Symphony orchestra November 7 and 8- ' This is how Mr. Kaufmann describes his method of composition: "First you get an idea and then the mood sinks In. Then you try t find a means of expressing this mood, which Is the hardest thing to do. You keep trying and trying, but sometimes the music just doesn't fit. "This may go on for months. weeks or years until you find the right thing. And when you do, the rest is easy. Tbs techni cal part comes next and you just write it on paper." Two of Mr. Kaufmann's newer compositions have been Inspired by Manitoba's wide expanse of land, seemingly-endless roads and the changing prairie skies. One is called "Pembina High way," for the road leading from Winnipeg to the International boundary; the other "Four Skies." The composer says writing music is his first love. But he adds: "You have to be a millionaire to live by It alone " Three Dead In British Blast HARWICH, Essex, England A violent blast at an explosives plant near here killed at least three men and Injured fifteen yesterday.
