CLARENDON. Va, October 9.-Un-
restricted debate on the political issues
of the presidential campaign in the au-
ditoriums of Arlington County schools
was officially sanctioned last night, when
the school board, meeting at the court
house, granted permission for an anti
Smith organization to present Bishop
James E. Cannon of Richmond for an
address in the auditorium of Washing
ton-Lee High School tonight
At the same time the board ap-
proved three other applications for use
of the auditorium, one from Harry N.
Douhitt, editor of the Clarendon Chron-
icle, who announced that he proposed
holding non-partisan meeting, at
which speakers of both parties will be
heard; another from Col James G.
Pepper for a Republican rally and the
third from State Senator Frank L.'Ba1
for a Democratic gathering.
Executive Session Held.
The decision of the board to throw
open the auditorium for political dig
cuSsions was made in executive session
following hearing at which citizens
were allowed to express themselves for
and against the venture. with the
former group seemingly in the ma
iority. The vote of the board could
not be ascertained.
Col. Pepper, Mr.. Douhitt. Ashton C..
Jones, who applied for permit for to-
nights meeting, and Senator Ball, ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to the
proposal, the former declaring that the
auditorium could be put to no more
appropriate use and pointing to use Of
schoolhouSeS in other sections Of the
State as a precedent. Col. Pepper de-
I clared that the Washington-Lee audi
forum was the only hall in the county

would be proud to invite speakers of

use than to provide a place for discus
sion of all subjects, regardless of party
| and creeds.
Wants Clergy Barred.
John A. Neu of Cherrydale declared
| that he could see no harm resulting
from a discussion of purely political
issues. but that religious issues should
be strictly barred, as should members
! of the clergy, because OF the atmos-
phere they would create. !,

custom Of holding the auditorium for
strictly educational purposes, he de-
sired to serve notice that he would, at
come future date. request use of Wash
ington-Lee auditorium for speakers Whc
would give "a correct expression Of
Catholic ideals of citizenship, which
are apparently so misunderstood"
The board fixed the rental charge fer
the auditorium at 500 per night.

Opera Singers Drawn
 From Varied Trades

PARIS, Jan. 14-Opera singers in France seem to be after thoughts of Fate.
 A large proportion of the stars started out to be something else, walters, blacksmiths, policemen. lawyers and scientists. Music was their avocation but accident seem ed usually to steer them toward fame.
 When Andre Gaudin, Paris lawyer, recently took off his cap and gown and appeared on the stage of the Opera Comique, it was recalled that scores of French operatic notables began their ca reers in trades and professions that seemed unrelated to music.
 Gaudin's appearance was pro ceded by two others who intended to be lawyers, Leon Achard and Warot. The great baritone Faure was an organ-pumper. at Notre Dame, Carbelly's true name was Dr. de Casteras, a practicing phy- sician, and Auguste Segond was a professor of chemistry. Segonl disappeared for ten years, chang ing his name to Salviati, studied music in Italy and then toure l Europe and South America.
 Among other singers in French opera were Lasalle, a shawl de- signer, Roger and Obin, notarial clerks, Franz, bank clerk, Della querriere, who was headed for the priesthood, and the great Van Dyck, first a notary and then a newspaperman.
