It is the prediction of her voice teacher, Andres de SegurOla that Deanna Durbin will be the young- est star ever to make her debut in grand opera in the United States. "Deanna Is only IS now" de Se- gurola says, land she will be ready to make her debut with either the Chicago City Opera Company or the Metropolitan In New York within two years. Marion Talley was the youngest star before, mak- ing her bow just after she was eighteen. Deanna will still be sev- enteen." Jeanna has already had two proposals for an opera debut. The general manager of the Chi cagO City Opera Company, Paul L0ngone, has offered to produce this year any opera that Deanna would like to sing. The Metro pOlitan in New York has also ape preached her, according to de Se- gur0la. "Of course these offers are Q great tribute to Deanna's mental and vocal maturity, a ma turity which I believe to be that of woman twelve to fifteen years Older," de Segurola declares. "But I think she has time yet to make her debut. When she does, she will break custom long established in grand Opera-by singing in Eng Msh. She will probably sing either the role of Marguerite in Faust or Mimi in Ia Boheme.'

NAZT FOLLOWERS
 MAKE HOME HERE
One Hundred Connecticut Citizens to Be SubpOe-
 naed By Dickstein

Every Waterburian was wonder ing today if some neighbor of his might be member of local Nazi group, following an announcement last night by Rep. Samuel Dickstein, (D. of N. Y.) that he planned to subpoena 100 Connecticut persons allegedly connected with Nazi move ments in this state.
 Representative Dickstein is chair man of the house immigration com- mittee, and he stated that Water bury is one of five Connecticut cities in which Nazi followers are resid- ing.
 Although refusing to offer names, Representative Dickstein stated that he has proof of the residence of Nazis in this city. His proof, he said, is located in an official copy of the Naz program for 1897, which lists 50,000 persons in the ranks of Nazi organizers. His possession of the list was traced to Nazi traitor The list is secret document of the party.
 MT. Dicksteih stated that he would subpoena certain Waterbur- ians for the purpose of establish ing the fact that the Fascist move- ment is gaining headway in the state through activities here. He charged that the estate of Anastase A. Vonsiatsky at Thompson is used as headquarters for Nad followers. Vonsiatsky is an alleged leader of the White Russian Fascists in Con- necticut, and he is said to have combined forces with the Nazis and assumed leadership of the. two groups.
 It is claimed that picture of Vonsiatsky with Nazi swastika on his sleeve constitutes evidence in part that the Russian is supporting Nazi movements.
 Other communities alleged by him to contain Nazis are New Haven, Danbury, Norwalk and Stamford.
 These charges by Representative Dickstein recall the anti-Nazi rcs- olutions of the German American club of this city, especially at the time of the dedication of the Ger
