Freiheit moved to Phoenix in 1976 and became chief of anesthesiology at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Prescott until his retirement in 1982. He was a member of the Rose Society, the Salvation Army Advisory Board, the Prescott Rotary Club, the Metropolitan Medical Society, the Missouri Society of Anesthesiology and the American Society of Anesthesiology. Surviving are his wife, Thelma; three daughters, Deborah Campbell of Prescott, Judith Zeitler of California and Virginia Lytie of Kansas; a son, the Rev. Harold J. of Michigan; six grandchildren; and two A funeral service for Dr.

Harold J. Freiheit, a former St. Louisan who practiced medicine for more than 50 years, was held Feb. 5 at Memory Chapel Mortuary in Phoenix, Ariz. Burial was in Redwood Memorial Gardens in Prescott, Ariz.

Dr. Freiheit, 80, of Phoenix, died Feb. 2 of cancer at St. Lukes Hospital in Phoenix. Dr.

Freiheit, a former resident of St. Louis County, graduated in 1927 from Bradley University in Peoria, 111., and from St. Louis University Medical School in 1931. In World War II, Dr. Freiheit was a pilot and a flight surgeon in the Army Air Forces.

He was the head of the department of anesthesiology at Lutheran Medical Center in St. Louis. He also was on the faculties of St. Louis University Carolyn Bond Springs for! Big Night Out Former Gov. Christopher S.

Bond sold his wife, Carolyn, a' "night on the town" in St. Louis for $325 at a fund-raising auction Friday night for the Miss- ouri Republican Party. Then Bond, a candidate for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate, sold state Treasurer Wendell Bailey a quail dog pup for $250. The sales took place at an auction intended to raise $20,000 for the state Republican Party at the annual Lincoln Day meeting of the party at the Sher-; aton St.

Louis Hotel. Bond was one of several Re- publican officeholders and can- didates who played auctioneer. Tonight, former Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr.

of Tennessee con- sidered by some a possible GOP candidate for president in 1988 will be the principal speaker at the concluding dinner of the Lincoln Day event. The night on the town bought by Carolyn Bond includes entertainment and dinner for eight on Laclede's Landing, donated by developer William Maritz and his wife, Phyllis. Carolyn Bond also bought for $350 a large copper pot used for making apple butter, donated by state Rep. Mary Kasten, R-Cape Girar-' deau, and her husband, Melvin. Money raised at the auction will be added to the $250,000 the state Republican Committee raised when President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, attended a fund-raiser Wednesday at St.

Louis Union The money raised for the state committee is in addition to about $350,000 which Reagan's visit produced for Bond's senatorial campaign. Frank C. Roe, 71; Had Been County's First Works Director "O'Connell Street, Dublin," 1979, a print by Howard Burman Photos By Burman At Gallery-Bookstore Dr. J.C. Creech, 79; Physician In Troy A funeral service for Dr.

Joseph C. Creech, physician, will be at 3 p.m. today at the Troy Presbyterian Church, Troy, Mo. Burial will be in the Troy City Cemetery. Dr.

Creech, 79, of Troy, died of cancer Thursday at Lincoln County Memorial Hospital. He practiced medicine in Troy for 45 years, retiring in 1980. He was a founder of Lincoln County Memorial Hospital and had been its chief of staff. Dr. Creech was a past president of the Troy Chamber of Commerce and was selected as its man of the year in 1959.

He got his bachelor's degree from Westminster College in Fulton, Mo and his medical degree from St. Louis University in 1935. Surviving are his wife, Nadine; three daughters, Joan Charles, Tem-pe, Karen Davis, El Dorado, and Mary C. Creech, Seattle; two sons, Dr. Brevator Creech, Chico, and Dr.

Joseph C. Creech Mesa, two brothers, John Creech and Austin Creech, both of Troy; and six grandchildren. Deaths Elsewhere SID STONE, 83, a vaudevillian and stage actor who was perhaps best known as the commercial announcer on Milton Berle's television series from 1948 to 1951, died Wednesday in New York. Mr. Stone spent years in vaudeville, on the burlesque stage and in such Broadway plays as "Three Men on a Horse" and "Damn Yankees." Most recently, he performed for three years in "Sugar Babies." But as the announcer on Berle's "Texaco Star Theater," Mr.

Stone gained perhaps his widest recognition. He would saunter on stage, set up his pitchman's sample case, and say, "Tell ya what I'm gonna do!" LAZARE KAPLAN, 102, one of the world's best-known diamond merchants, died Wednesday at his farm in Sullivan County, N.Y. Because Mr. Kaplan was so expert in judging diamonds, his company, Lazare Kaplan became a supplier for many of the elite jewelry stores, such as Tiffany Cartier and Van Cleef Arpels. Mr.

Kaplan was probably proudest of his supreme achievement as a craftsman his cleaving of the 726-carat Jonker diamond, one of the most famous in history. The diamond was found on a farm near Pretoria, South Africa, by Jacobus Jonker. A funeral Mass for Frank C. Roe, former St. Louis County director of Public Works, will be celebrated at 9:15 a.m.

Monday at Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 676 West Lockwood Avenue in Webster Groves. Burial will be in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Mr. Roe, 71, of Webster Groves, died Friday at St. Mary's Health Center in Richmond Heights after suffering a heart attack.

He was appointed as the county's first public works director in July 1951 under the county charter adopted in 1950. Mr. Roe was a registered professional engineer and a past member of the Police Board of Webster Groves. Mr. Roe was the past president of the Command Officers Association Alvina Lightfoot, 93; A funeral service for Alvina R.

Lightfoot, a high school teacher, was Thursday at St. Luke's United Church of Christ, Imperial. Burial was in the church cemetery. Mrs. Lightfoot, 93, died Tuesday at Clayton on the Green Nursing Center.

She had been under treatment for cancer. Mrs. Lightfoot, of Bamhart, retired from the St. Louis Public Schools in 1959. She had worked for Art By Patricia Degener Post-Dispatch Art Critic The Nevertheless Press is an unusual addition to the St.

Louis art community. Its storefront gallery and bookstore are unpretentious and charming, furnished with simple wooden furniture. There is a place to sit and read, and one wall is lined with wooden shelves displaying a fascinating variety of handmade books. The photographs by Howard Burman in the present exhibition are hung on the other walls. The press itself is on other premises.

This bookstore-gallery combination reminds in spirit at least, of the old Three Arts Bookstore in the University City once a lively cultural center and "artists' meeting place. 3 The gallery opened last fall with a show of the work of Fred Brian, well-Juiown visual artist, writer and print-ef-Qf Pilot Rock Press in Stillwater, Mnn. It was a show more directly related to book art and to the small -presses like Nevertheless the ones produce hand-bound, hand-set, iiand-printed, limited-edition books than is the current show. Gallery director Georgia Lee Binnington, familiar to many in the St. Louis art community from her days in the education department at the St.

Louis Art Iyseum, says that not all the gallery shows will have a direct relation to the printed word. Burman's color photographs are documentary in nature, images of ordinary people involved in everyday events, but exotic to us because of the locations. They range from Isreal to Mexico, from Ireland to Spain and Italy. At his best Burman has a good eye for formal arrangement and ex- funeral notices ROBINSON, CHRISTOPHER LEE, Feb. 13.

pressive content. "Produce Merchants" is at one level a straight, picturesque, touristy picture of a canal in Venice old pinkish buildings, watery reflections. However, in the foreground is a boat filled with boxes of fresh produce, a work-worn old woman and an old man. It is a common sight in Venice, but the picture manages to convey two disparate points of view that of tourist and that of the working native. Simple beauty of image must have attracted Burman in "Bedouin Youth," where, in a setting of mostly tans and browns, the blue of the sky repeated in the stripes on the cotton robe of the beautiful Bedouin child takes on a great clarity of hue.

Most of his photographs are of people. His interest is in capturing not only character but distinctive local characteristics of costume and even expression such as the Irishman setted in the back of the truck in "O'Connell Street, Dublin," or the man against an orange wall in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico, with his turkey and pig. It in called "Portrait of a Proud Man." I don't care for the way the photographs are presented, with a black border separated from the picture by a thin white line about an inch from the picture border. It's slick and makes the installation look too much like a corporate lobby display. likens to "the wind of the Spirit" was so ineffectively realized.

Tippett's score calls only for a wind machine, presumably the same device that Strauss used to depict windmills in his "Don Quixote" tone-poem. The Solti recording uses the amplified noise of genuine human breathing, but reportedly Leppard rejected this approach because when he heard it attempted in a London performance it sounded too much like an obscene phone call. On Thursday the breathing noise was produced on a synthesizer manipulated by percussionist Richard O'Donnell; there was unfortunately nothing at all human about the sound, and the same result might have been obtained just as easily by hitting a sizzle cymbal. Overriding these problems of detail was the weakness of the interpretation as a whole. The piece simply did not jell, and neither within sections nor between them was there projected the feeling of cohesion that Tippett so carefully worked into the score.

And far more often than not the orchestra seemed to be scrambling for a sense of direction. In fact the music was rehearsed as much as any difficult work that enters the Powell Hall repertoire, but it did not sound as though that had been the case. Tippett's awesome fourth symphony made up the second half of the program. Leppard opened the concert with Berlioz's "Roman Carnival" overture, giving it a performance not nearly so flashy as those the orchestra's music director Leonard Slatkin led in Europe last spring but one that was certainly just as precise. Then came Lalo's Cello Concerto in Minor, with Lynn Harrell as soloist.

In my reviews, at least, soloists usually get less space than they perhaps deserve when they share a program with significant new works. Harrell is an artist who makes me especially regret the imbalance, because he represents the best imaginable combination of absolutely flawless technique and keen, purposeful musical intelligence. The human passions his playing emulated on Thursday were unbridled, yet they seemed always to issue from strength, not impulsiveness. This was a demonstration of musicianship of the highest order, and it temporarily gave to the essentially superficial Lalo concerto as much nobility as it can hold. The program will be repeated in Powell Hall at 8:30 p.m.

8. FRIENDS MAY CALL SAT. AFTER 5 P.M. Classical Music By James Wierzbicki Post-Dispatch Music Critic Michael Tippett's 1977 Symphony No. 4 ought not be judged by the performance it received Thursday evening in Powell Hall.

This 30-minute, single-movement piece is one of the most profoundly humanistic essays produced in the last two decades, a work that when its components are connected in a logical chain conjures up an image not just of the birth-to-death cycle that is its obvious inspiration but also of the constant flux between tension and relaxation that might be regarded as the essence of life. Like this English composer's third symphony, from 1972, the fourth is an unabashedly dramatic composition. Yet its "characters" in contrast to the easily recognizable quotations from Beethoven and the references to jazz that figure into its predecessor tend to be wholly abstract, and their complex interaction takes place on many levels at the same time. Although the notation is conventional and the rhythms basically straightforward, the temporal relationships between the sections are enigmatic, and the textures, especially in those moments when two or three themes are overlayed, are not at all transparent. Tippett's fourth symphony is thus an extraordinarily difficult piece to play.

But in a solid performance it says so much, on so many different strata of meaning and perception, that, by comparison most other works from, the '70s seem almost mute. For listeners who want to familiarize themselves with this important work, a solid performance is available, in a recording on the London label (LDR-71046) featuring Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony, the orchestra for which the piece was written. Thursday night's reading by the St. Louis Symphony, under the direction of principal guest conductor Raymond Leppard, was hardly in the same category. All' things considered, it was not really bothersome that imprecisions of attack first in the brass, then in the strings, then everywhere riddled the second half of the performance.

Nor did it matter all that much that the work's signature sonority a "gently breathing" sound that Tippett WINSBY, ELISE H.
