ANN ARBOR, May 10.-More
Detroiters than ever before joined
Ann Arborites last night to fill Hill
Auditorium to overhowing for the
fourth concert in the current May
Festival here.
The attraction at this particular
event was Dorothy Maynor, Negro
soprano, who has had such a SEN
sational rise in the concert world
and who was one of the hits OF
last years May Festival. Judging
from the tremendous and pro-
longed ovation she received. they
will want her TO return every year.
OF her first Mozart offerings, her
delivery of Pamina's aria from
The Magic Flute" was the best.
for in it she employed restrained
tone of limpid beauty and ex-
uuisite clarity. To our ears, her
voice only reveals a shrill and
slightly metallic quality when she
forces it as in the following Non
Mi Dir" from Don Giovanni"
Her second group proved TO be
far more popular, including the
plaintive "Pourquoi' fro m
"Lakme," the bizarre "Adieux de

The afternoon concert was de-
voted to the children's hour OF

her tiny tots through D'Indy's

was just D'Indy.
For the last half of the matinee,
Jose Iturbi. the pianist, appeared
as soloist in the hackneyed List
First Concerto, which he played
too brilliantly for words. We wish
he had chosen something a little
more worthy of his fine talents
although il gave a fiag-waving
finale to the performance.

To the north, the invaders were
assumed to have taken Fort Word

Puget Sound, and the garrison fled
to Fort Flagler, presumably with
some losses.
The fall Of Fort Worden was a
major gain for the invaders in the

TURKEY FEARFUL
At Istanbul, where it was re-
ported that Russian air raids had
caused tremendous damage and
losses in attacks on Rumanian Oil
fields and communications. there
was a mounting fear of a German
move against the Near East to sup
plement the invasion of the Uk-
raine.
Diplomatic circles and travellers
reaching Istanbul and Ankara said
that new German troop concentra-
tons in Bulgaria threatened an
early move through Turkey and
might lead to a big explosion on
the part Of conquered Slavs in the
Balkans if Turkey put up strong
resistance.
The possibilities of such an up
rising were also illustrated in

developments along the eastern
front. At least 100000 German

kish border.
RUMANIA FESTIVE
.. Axis war vessels, including
half dozen German-built Ruman-
ian submarines, have been moved
to the Black Sea area for use against
the Red fleet.
3. Rumanian sources believed that
any German attack on Turkey would
cause a serious uprising against
Germany in the Balkans if the
Turks resisted seriously. Great op-
position to the Nazis was reported
in Bulgaria and Rumania, with the
Rumanians feeling that they were
victims of a Germanic plot.
4. Russian air raids have caused
tremendous destruction in the Ru-
manian oil fields and on communi-
cations lines, raportedly cutting off
important supplies for the axis ar
mics in Russia.
5. Hospital trains from the east
ern front were ''poring scores of
thousands of German wounded" in
to Rumanian hospitals and so many
school buildings have been taken
over for the wounded that the
schools probably will not be per-
mitted to reopen this autumn.
