CANADIAN BUILT
 BRIGHTER IS HIT

A West Coast Canadian Port. June 26.-(UP)-A Canadian built freighter of United Nations registry was torpedoed and danabed by @ Japanese submarine off the west coast, the Royal Canadian navy dis- closed today. The entire crew and two kittens were rescued after l2 hours in life boats. One of the crew members charged that the enemy craft started shooting at the life- boat after the ship was torpedoed.
 The torpedo was believed fired by one of the Japanese submarines which shelled Vancouver island and the coast of Oregon last week end. The freighter remained afloat after being hit and was lowed to a west coast Canadian port for repairs.

 The War Labor Boerd voted unanimously to accept, with modi- fications, a series of recommenda- tions by the three-man panel which heard arguments at Washington by spokesmen for the company and for the union.
 John J. Driscoll, executive secre- tary of Local 2Sl and chief spokes- man for the union committee, to- day hailed the VILE decision as 8 major victory for the union. The order for the checkoff. he said. Is one of the most significant in New England labor history.
 Voluntary Act
 The clneckoff will be on a volun- tary basis. Each employe will be asked whether or not he wishes his union dues deducted from his pay. Tn the cases of those who agree, the company will deduct no more than $l a month from their wages and turn the lump sum over to the union.

OUTDOORS With BILL 4ckz.u4n
Anglers Eagerly Await Annual shod Run;
Werber Is Collecting Hunting Dogs

Spring and the shad run are not
many weeks away now and fisher
men are seeking information on this
sport about which so little is known.
There was the point about fishing
being allowed just below the Como
wingo Dam, unanswerable at this
writing. The dam is under heavy
guard and restrictions will increase
rather than lessen. Fishing prob
ably will be prohibited in the pool,
but allowed downstream.
Another was interested in the fly
used for shad. The most produc-
tive bit of feathers was made by
Tom Loving, who, so far as we have
been able to find out, has stopped
making them and hasn't been seen
around for many months. Last sea-
son the most successful lure was the
"OO' metalure spoon. 1t should be
as successful in the rivers of Pied
mont Virginia as up the Susque-
hanna.

Bryan wants to take Tom on, with

As Swear Allegiance
ASH. ). Coast Guard
Auxiliary Members
D. G. Yuchtsmen to Serve
As Part Of Nationwide
Organization Of 5000
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

Forty-five Washington yachtsmen,
members of the United States Coast
Guard Auxiliary, swore allegiance
to their country and then submitted
to fingerprinting at the Corinthian
Yacht Club last night as the Coast
Guard began its Nation wide regis
tration of some 5000 American boat
owners forming this military
organization.
The oath was administered to the
entire group at one time by 1t.
Richard Bacchus, jr., a member Of
the Coast Guard Reserve, who year
ago was a yachtSman cruising his
home waters of Norfolk, Va.
Registration Is Ordered.
In addition to the oath and the
fingerprinting, each member of the
auxiliary executed declaration that
he was not associated with any sub
versive elements.
The national registration was
ordered recently by Coast Guard
headquarters as means of tightening
the membership of auxiliary fotillas
which, although non-military, have
close affiliations with the parent
group, the United States Coast
Guard.
Headquarters has ordered that
after "a reasonable time" all auxil-
larry members must comply with the
regulations or stand to be olsen
rolled. A new type of Identification
card is to be issued to all members
who qualify for continued member
ship. This card will provide a place
for the members photograph and
finger prints.
1t. Bacchus recounted to the
members last night his experiences
while on cutter duty in the North
Atlantic last spring during which his
ship rescued a number. of seamen
from torpedoed merchant vessels.
Briton Makes Address.
Principal speaker of the evening
was 1t. Comdr. Unnin E. S. S. Mon
tagu, assigned to the British En-
bassy here. A member of the Royal
Navy Volunteer Reserve, Comdr.
Montagu was a well known racing
skipper in English waters before the
outbreak of war in the fall of 1899.
The owner Of 44-foot racing cut
ter, the speaker told fellow yachts
men that at last reports his boat still
was untouched by Nazi bombers al
though stored up for the duration at
one Of the hot spots" in England.

Werber Is True Sportsman.
Any one with hunting dog for

great part tnlS was Que 10 Tic ITCHY
hued scenery and the colorful cos
tunes for which the stage director.
Louis Raybaut, is responsible, and
to the fiery conducting Of Carlo
Peroni, who knows how to build
up the climazes with telling effect.
High-lighting the whole was the
picturesque presentation Of the lead
ing characters headed by Mobley
Lushanya, the American Indian So
prano. Miss Lushanya's perform
ance was all the more remarkable
as she came from a sick bed to
sing the opera. There being no
substitute available and not wish
ing to disrupt the schedule OF per-
formances, she made the effort,
singing with clear, vibrant tones and
only showing the strain toward the
end Of the opera. Vocally the role
suits her well and in 1t she gives
the expressiveness of her voice con-
slant play.
Acting In Harmony.
Miss Lushanya's birthright of
1.-the grace gives authenticity to the
Ethiopian princess, captive slave at
the Egyptian court. Her movements
are free as Of one used to wild spaces
and her gestures have q natural
harmony. Her conception. too, of
the varied and stormy emotions of
the role are true and deep and well
balanced. Sympathy is with her
and respect for her royal status.
The versatile artist, Coe Glade,
regal in striking and sumptuous
costumes. was the Egyptian prin-
cess, Amneris. 1t is q long way
both vocally and histrionically from
the character Of Carmen, which
Miss Glade sang Sunday, to that
of Amneris, yet to one who had
not seen her temperamental and
deep-voiced portrayal Of the gypsy
girl, she would appear as the ideal
interpreter Of the stately Amneris.
Her ability to keep the divergent
characters totally unrelated speaks
for her artistic knowledge. She
made the role stand out, giving 1t
seductiveness and. in the end, emo
tional appeal. There has rarely
been a contralto who so excellently
visualizes the character and sings
the taxing music with ease and
voluptuousness Of tone.
The young warrior Rhadames was
taken by Harold Lindi, who made

power and resonance. The famous
aria, Celeste Aida" lies we'll for
him and he gave it in traditional
style although a slight unsteadi-
ness of tone and a rather too open
quality, absent in his later singing,
disturbed the roundness Of the high
notes.
Ballet Excellent.
In the unfolding Of the story
which involves the love and its
tragic ending Of these three char
scters, the well rounded delinea-
tons of the artists stood out force
fully. Yet with the dramatic skill
which was Verdi's great gift, they
are surrounded with other charac-
tiers as sharply defined such as
Amanasro, King of the Ethiopians
and father of Aida, the savage
power of whom Mostyn Thomas un-
derlined superbly; the high priest,
Ramfls, baleful and domineering as
Harold Kravitt envisioned him; the
kindly Egyptian King. sung by
Richard Wentworth; the invisible
priestess less successfully sung by
Louise Warren, and the sturdy mes
senger of francesca Curci.
The ballet group Of the San Carlo
company is an excellent one and
