u An unusual accomplishment
was the production of the chill
dren's opera "Hansel and Gret-
ell" put on last evening by the
Macon.b school chorus under the
of Lois Harper, grade
school music supervisor.
Mount Clemen high school au-
ditorium was filled to the doors
for the production, which dem
onstrated distinctly the prog
ress the sixth graders have made
this year. The chorus, seated in
the orchestra pit, supplemented
the solo voices in most OF the
songs-all the popular melodies
of this delightful opera.
Pictorially the opera was out
standingly effective, with its
original stage settings. The five
principal characters covered
themselves with glory in their
interpretations. Playing on
foreshortened stage, they were
clearly audible, and played
their parts with poise. James

den of the action with great sue
cess. while Jack Schwartz and
jeanne Buckholz were convinc-
ing parents. Joan Dillon caused
many an uneasy squlrm among
the youth in the audience by her
fearsome Interpretation of the
Cookie Witch. And with the sub
ordinate witches she led a grim
dance that stands out.
Most appealing scene in the
opera perhaps was the Chill.

was masterpiece, and the
cookie children most responsive

HONOLULU. May % - (P)
Lieut.. General Delos c.
EmmonS, commander Of the
Hawaiian departmo~t Of the U.
S. Amy during the grim days
following the japanese sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor, will re-
linquish that command June l
and be succeeded by Major Gen.
Robert c. Richardson.
General Fnmons. who made
the announcement OF the change
yesterday after he had received
the distinguished service medal
in recognition of his outstand-
ing work here, did not disclose
his new assignment but specu-
lation Immediately arose that
he might take over the western
defense command and the fourth
army, now headed by Lieut..
Gen. John l.. Dewitt.
There wouldn't be more
pleasant place TO serve than
San Francisco, General Emmons
said in explain he was UNI
able TO announce his new post.
On San Francisco, Rep. Rich
ard J WEIGH (R-Calif) said in
an interview this week that
there was a difference between
General Dewitt and a war de-
partment faction over DeWitts
vigorous opposition TO any re-
Taxation of the rules excluding
Japanese from western defense
areas. and. because Of it, De-
Witt was TO be transferred with
General EmmonS replacing him.
In Washington, Secretary OF
War StlmSon at a press confer
ence termed such reports of diff
fcrences nonsense.
General Emmops took over
the command Of the Hawaiian
department 10 days after the
Pearl Harbor attack. His II
months here have witnessed the
throwing up Of defenses costing
hundreds Of millions Of dollars.

GirIs's Death
Puzzles Police
Seek Identify Of
Hongin9 Victim

Coroner William d. Clyne and
state police today sought the
identity of a woman. about %
years old. whose badly decom-
posed body was found in Broad
way Park, three miles northwest
of Utica, alongside a rope they
believe had earlier encircled
her neck.
Clyne, State Police Detective
Howard Sller apd Sergt Edgar
Welsch. of the Romeo State Po-
lice post, agree that hanging was
the cause of death, but could not
Immediately determine whether
she took her own life or was
murdered.
Joseph Mecztzyuk, park care
taker, found the body slumped
alongside an outbuilding one
half mile from Ryan road at 8:l5
p. m. Thursday. A length Of
closeline dangled from a beam
overhead, but the double strand
was broken at the moose.
Deep marks on her throat
gave mute evidence that the
rope had earlier encircled her
neck, (Clyne said Welsch imme-
diatel y>Qrdered the rope analyz-
ed TO determine whether it
gave way )beneath the weight Of
her body or~Sf she was cut down.
The case took a bizarre turn
today when Welsch searched
missing persons reports in vain
for a description answering that
of the dead woman. She had
been dead about six weeks,
Clyne said, and the condition of
the body makes a post norton
impossible and positive identifi-
cation extremely difficult.
The woman wore an expen-
sive black coat trimmed with
fur, an inexpensive light blue
polka dot house dress, pink
slip and suede pumps. A green
and lavender pin was on her
coat.
Police found a wedding ring
containing ii diamonds and an
engagement ring on her fingers.
A purse nearby contained only
1913 in cash.
Clyne said the woman was %
TO 80 years of age. about five
feet four inches tall, weighed
ITO pounds and was blonde.
He theorized that the moose
gave way or was cut only few
days ago because her body was
scarcely wet although flood
waters from the nearby Clinton
had only recently receded.
The high water had made the
lonely death spot inaccessible for
three weeks, police said.
