the maneuver could develop into
the western end of pincers
strategy designed to crush Ger
man Field Marshal Erwin Rom

all in North Africa.
The White House said the in
vasion was undertaken to:
Prevent axis military occupa-

Western Africa.
To deny the axis any African
springboard from which to launch
an invasion on the Atlantic coast
of the Americas.

BEEF, VEAL REDUCTION
TO PUBLIC is LIKELY

Washington, - A reduction
in the amount of beef and
veal available to the public is
in prospect, government sources
who preferred anonymity indi-
Gated this week.
They said the present 30 per
cent allotment of beef and veal
probably would be reduced to 70
per cent. and added the order
might be issued soon.
The necessity for the cut was
understood to have resulted from
heavy buying by the army and
navy.
Presently packers are limited
in their deliveries to 80 per cent
of deliveries in the final quarter
of 1941.

Register al u. s. Office,
Virqinia JobIess Urqed

Jobless workers in nearby Virginia
were urged today to register at their
local United States employment
service Offices instead of looking for
jobs themselves in other parts of the
country.
Carter w. Friend, manager Of the
employment service Offices in Ar
lington and Alexandria, declared
that "it Is worse than useless for a
man to start travelling around look
ing for work" He explained that
each local Office knows where jobs
are available and where there are
none.
TN the first six months Of 1941," /"
Mr.. Friend said, ''the public en-
ployment offices of this country sent
about 100000 workers to jobs out
side their localities. Those who were
picked by United States employ
ment Offices to fill these jobs were
absolutely sure when they left home
for some other section of the coun-
try that they would find work.
Many other workers who did not
60 to their employment Offices failed
to find jobs and some were stranded
far from home in strange commu-
mites"
The Arlington Office of the en-
ployment service is located at 3213

the Alexandra address is 301 King
street. These Offices also service

ties. The Offices are open daily from

Quality Of Moderate Volume.
The master mind, as 1t were, be-
hind the smoothness of the per-
Torrance and the well worked out
details Of the singers is Carlo Peroni
whose thorough analysis of the mu-
sic and the characters was apparent
constantly. Mr.. Peroni has taught
the chorus to sing artistically and
evidently believes in the satisfying
quality Of moderate volume. The
La Fumee" chorus of the first act
was an illustration of his vision for
the softly sung tones gave 1t q spe-
cial charm. The orchestra was not
permitted to overshadow the singers
and contributed considerably to the
excellence Of the performance by
the nuances achieved under his d.
rection.
Colorful scenery and the spirited
acting of the chorus formed a splen-
did background for the leading sing
ers. All told, it was as enjoyable q
performance as one could wish, for
with the dramatic element kept at
high tension. This evening Verdis
"Rigoletto" will be given with Lu-
cile Meusel as Gilda. Carlo Morelli
as Rigoletto and Eugene Conley as

Luona Stars
In Symphony
Program
Pianist Draws
Great Applause
From Audience

The National Symphony Orches-
tra's concert yesterday afternoon
was distinguished by the appear
ance Of Charles OConnell as guest
conductor and Of RENO Luoma,
young Finnish American pianist, as
soloist. Furthermore, the program
was an l-Tschaikowsky one with
three of his most popular works
listed. the Symphony No. S." the
piano Concerto No. l" and the
symphonic poem, Romeo and
Juliet" This alone would guaran-
tee two hours of musical pleasure
but with the presence of another
director and his personal viewpoint
and a young artist on his way up
the ladder of fame, there was an
added piquancy to the presenta-
ton of these familiar works.
Mr.. Luoma has been heard with
the symphony before but the ova-
ton which he received after his
playing of the concerto was not due
to a friendly feeling but real ap-
probation of his excellent perform
ance. The young artist is superbly
equipped for his profession with a
dazzling type of technique that
makes light of every difficulty. The
poise and assurance of his playing.
the beautiful ease and fluency of
his passage work and his musical
approach evident in nicely rounded
phrases and feeling for their in
dividual climaxes brought storm
of applause that broke out again
when, after many returns, he had
possibly thought his reception was
over.
Artistic Surety.
From the first massive chords, Mr..
Luoma maintained the inimitable
flow of the lovely melodies with
artistic surety. In the matter OF
tonal color, of clear emotional pro-
lection and greater breadth Of line,
he has yet to perfect himself so as
to discover new beauties for the
listener as the concerto progresses.
When this is gained, added to the
particular flair for brilliancy which
he now commands, he will have
rounded out his artistic personality.
His playing of the allegro con fuoco,
the freest in idea and execution,
gave the best impression Of his
present ability and his future
promise.
Tschaikowsky's symphony Is the
kind of music that seems to play Of
its own volition and that q con-
ductor has not much more to do
than follow the composers indt-
cations. But Mr.. O'Connell found
something more to do with it in the
further emphasis of its drama.
Held in Restraint.
The sombre beginning was care
fully held in restraint for greater
contrast with the fire and abandon
that comes later and this same
thought for clearly defined extremes
was to be found often in the sue
ceeding movements. At the same
time there were times when Mr..
O'Connen was content to let the
music play and others when he lacked
a feeling for the interplay Of orches-
trail voices. Several lovely and i'm
portant bits by the woodwinds were
lost in the prominence Of unim-
portant portions by the violins. The
performance was uneven, new and
satisfying at one moment and too
academic at another.
That Mr.. O'Conneu is highly re-
garded by the audience from his
several guest appearances and that
it enjoyed what he gave yesterday
could be deducted from the very
cordial welcome he received and the
subsequent applause. A. E.

Nv ALICE EVERSMAN.

The San Carlo Opera began its
weeks season at the National The
ater last evening in most suspicious
fashion with q large attendance and
enthusiastic acclaim. The opera
presented was Bizet's Carmen"
featuring Coe Glade in the title role,
Sidney Rayner as Don Jose and
Mostyn Thomas as Escamillo. These
three artists are especially well
equipped for the roles with excellent
voices and outstanding histrionic
ability. Surrounded by singers who
not only know their parts thoroughly
but who put their heart and soul
into their delineation, and directed
by Carlo Peroni. who is a master of
effects, they gave one Of the best
performances of the opera that this
city has seen.
Miss Glade sang the role Of the
beguiling gypsy with the San Car
loans last winter and at the Water
Gate and, as familiar as is her por-
trayal, she managed to vary it last
evening while retaining all its vivid
ness. Her voice was better than
ever, clearer in the low register and
more mellow in the high, and she
sang the role throughout in an easy
manner. There was more seductive
ness in her acting and less of the
stressing Of effect, so that the whole
seemed more logical than formerly
Many little things marked the
rounding out Of the character which
she has attained, such as her first
scene with Don Jose, the tavern
scene and the poignancy Of her
card scene.
Rayner is Convincing.
More genuine and impressive also
was Mr.. Rayner's Don Jose, which
he enacted in most convincing fash
ion. Not many tenors can sing the

famous flower aria with the beauty
Of tone and the smoothness Of ennis
sion which he maintains through

canoe. He has gained much in the
matter Of keeping In character at all
times and in the gradual portrayal
Of Don Jose's downfall. The Es-
camille Of Mr.. Thomas has taken
on more authority and freedom and
he acted and sang his entrance
scene excellently.
The famous quintet of the second
act was enlivened by the clever act
ing of Francesca Curci as Remen-
dado, Richard Wentworth as Dan
cairo and Charlotte Bruno as Mer-
cedes, with a new Frasquita in the
person of Mary Belle. Leola Tur-
ner's voice is an ideal one for
Micaela and she made much of the
role, as did Harold Kravitt with the
cynical touch he gave to the part Of
