Dichter and the Warsaw Phil harmonic are on a 24-city tour of the United States. Saturday’s per formance will feature Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Francesca da Ri mini, Fantasy after Dante,” Sergei Rachmaninoffs Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Bela Bar- tok’s “Miraculous Mandarin.” Dichter, the son of Polish par ents, was born in Shanghai in 1945 and moved to Los Angeles when he was 2 years old. He be gan studying piano at age 6 and has studied under Aube Tzerko and Rosina Lhevinne. In 1966, two years before he graduated from the Julliard School of Music, Dichter won first prize at the Tchaikovsky Interna tional Piano Competition in Mos cow. Dichter has recorded several albums and has written articles for The New York Times and other publications. The Warsaw Philharmonic has been Poland’s leading orchestra for more than 80 years and has performed with such great com posers as Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, Bartok and Rachma ninoff. The orchestra began per forming in 1901 but lost one-half of its members during World War II. During 1947, the orches tra reformed under music direc tor Witold Rowicki. Kazimierz Kord became the Warsaw Philharmonic’s music di rector and conductor in 1977. In 1972, Kord made his Amer ican debut conducting the Metro politan Opera in Tchaikovsky’s “Pique Dame” — the opera’s first performance in Russian. The next year, Kord brought Russian opera to the West Coast when he conducted the San Francisco Op era in its production of Modest Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov.” Kord has traveled around the world with the Warsaw Philhar monic and has guest-conducted with some of the world’s greatest orchestras.

Economist: Extending soles tax to services will cost Texas jobs AUSTIN (AP) — Extending the state sales tax to services such as those provided by lawyers, accoun tants and architects would throw 42,700 Texans out of jobs in two years, an economist said Thursday. Economic consultant Donald House said his study of proposals now before the Legislature to ex pand the sales tax to include most services indicates the plan would damage the Texas economy. But those findings were sharply criticized by State Comptroller Bob Bullock, who has offered lawmakers a plan to expand the sales tax to what he said is the fastest-growing segment of the Texas economy. House’s study was prepared for several groups representing insur ance agents, engineers, lawyers, real estate agents, doctors, architects, certified public accountants and chiropractors. group didn’t have another plan to nth i offer as the state grapples with an es timated $5.8 billion budget deficit. Calling it “a lobby-backed study,” Bullock said the findings were flawed. “Those folks don’t have one shred of evidence that the extension of the sales tax to services is going to cost Texas a single job,” Bullock said. “But my figures show that the state has lost more than 231,000 jobs in the past six years under the present tax system.” Monetary woes close 2 banks in Houston area The economist said a tax on serv ice industries, especially those that- provide services to other businesses, would make Texas less competitive by increasing business costs. House said the tax would target the only sector of the Texas econ omy that is showing substantial growth. Between 1980 and 1986, Texas gained 934,100 jobs in the service sector while losing 97,300 jobs in the goods sector, he said. HOUSTON (AP) — Two Hous- ton-area banks were declared insol vent Thursday because of bad loans and poor management, bringing the number of failed banks to 12 in Texas this year, officials said. “Most states have a sales tax, but only three states in the United States extend taxes to the service sector in a way like the proposed sales taxes we see coming out of the comptroller’s office — Hawaii, New Mexico and South Dakota,” House said. Lawyer Mark Hanna, speaking for the study sponsors, said the groups believe the pending proposal is not the way to go. While Hanna said the service in dustry was willing to pay its “fair sha re” of state taxes, he said the wider sales tax was a bad idea, but the The Sealy National Bank in Sealy, about 50 miles west of Houston, and the Liberty Bank in Houston joined other financial victims of the de pressed Sun Belt economy, said Fed eral Deposit Insurance Corp. spokesman Stephen Katsanos. The only office of the Sealy bank will open Friday as a branch of the Austin County State Bank of Bell- ville, and the bank’s deposits will au tomatically transfer to the Austin County bank, he said. The Liberty Bank’s offices will re open Friday as branches of Central Bank of Houston and deposits will automatically transfer to the bank. He said a high volume of poor- quality loans extended by bank man agement led to significant losses.
