he'd be flop, That's no aSpersion
on the voice that launched a thou.
sand throbs. Frankie can sing He
Hcan sing so we'll that he doesn't have
10 strain. And that's the secret of
his success. In the musical world,
easy do6s IT,
frankie and this is no secrets
4 -crnnner- The first eroeHeFs- were
mothers who sang or hummcd lula
bieS TO their children. The nearest
approach 10 that relaxing rendition
OF the most sentimental songs in the
world IS achieved by the singer who
chants % his hypothetical swectie
through a microphOnc.
Sinatra IS perhaps the most ef.
fortress vocalist OF our time. He
doesn't even Try as hard as Bing
Crosby or Burl Ives, the two chan.
teurS who can properly be compared
10 him. Crosby is better singer
than S!natra. He has a more inter.
eSting quality OF voice and a more
musical style. Ives, who spccialiZcs
IN folk songs, uses more important
material than either Of the other
two and IS just as natural and un.
affected as either of them.
The trick that these three have
discovered and plenty of others, too
Is that American listeners do not
want TO be- aware of any effort or
strain or conscious technique in a
voice. Singing that sounds at all
artificial or labored is likely TO make
its audience feel uncomfortable. The
listeners want TO feel relaxed, with.
out the slightest worry as to
whether a high note will be reached
or phrase sustained and sung in
tune all the way 10 the end.
The microphone is the answer.
When volume or carrying power
ceases to be problem, a singer can
concentrate on using the best quality
OF tone available and making every
syllable crystal clear.
Take HildeGarde, for example.
She's becoming a radio personality
now, but she made her greatest sue.
cess as a night club entertainer.
Even in small rooms, she used a
microphone 20 do her best singing.
Then she would walk out into the
audience, and her voice lost its
sweetness. but it had an efferves-
cence that made it even more charm.

Arthur Godfrey, radio master of cere-
monies, has a very distinct voice
appeal If you happen to be fond Of
hearing 4 file drawn across piece
Of steel. Listeners either love him
or hate him intensely without ever
having seen him, just because his
vocal cords are lined with sandpaper.
1t is my prediction that within
five years practically no singer of

the Metropolitan Opera House, will

manently hoarse Then he tried
singing into a mike. The hoarsenesS
remained, but oddly enough it had
an appealing quality.
Devine, whose lifting notes have
often been compared TO a drill press
biting into cement. probably sounded
that way originally. Durante has
developed his foghorn tonsils delib-
erately, and SO has Rochester.

Anything that w. c. Fields says is

aid of amplification. They sac
rifice far too much by insisting
on naked voices.
Everybody is familiar with the
artificial sound of the made" voice
IN singing or speaking voice
that is literally thrown at the hearer
with conscious and deliberate reso.
nance that eliminates every Sugges.
ton of ease or informality.
The pulpit has used it for years,
TO the detriment- of sincere religion.
Old-time ham actors gloried in il,
and opera singers accepted it as
matter of course. Today it finds its
most virulent expression in the unc-
tuouS mouthingS of some radio an.
nouucers, who seem convinced that
their obviously insincere ecstasies
over a commercial product are caus-
ing every listener to Swoon.
Scientists discovered long ago that
a distinctive quality in vocal or in
strumental music is created by "over-
tones, and these overtones are en-
phasized through interference at some
point In the production of the tone
itself. Thus flute, which permits
the treest passage of the regular vi
bratlons OF air that actually represent
musical tones, has the pureSt, most
effortleSS sound among all the instru-
mentS. sound that is practically de-
void Of color" or distinctive quality.
The "boe on the other hand, has a
nasaI iarkly colored tone in which
the overtoneS are very obvious,
caused by the clashing of two reeds
that set the air in motion.
Similarly the coloratura, like Lily
PonS, or lyric soprano avoids most Of
the evidence of overtone by eliminat-
ing interference in any of the cavities
OF the head or chest, and the result
is a pure but not particularly indi-
vidual tone. Such a voice cannot DOS
sibly have much volume, even though
its purity gives it an unusual carry
ing power
1t has been proved that the lyric
soprano voice is far more effective
in radio than the dramatic.
Eventually serious vocalists will
on attaining something
Of the ease of a Sinatra, and then
they will increase their audience ap-
peal immensely. They may not have
any bobbysoxers whinnying at their

Russians 30 From Berlin
BY ROBERT MUSEL


 London, April IA = (UPe- Nazj broadcasts said today that Red arm- ies were opening general offensive on a 300-mile front arching across Germany less than 30 miles from Berlin and 90 from the American Third Army.
 Soviet forces of the southeastern front were sweeping across Austria and Moravia in a race with the NaziS for the Bavarian redoubt. Their pace was speeded by the fall of Vienna and crossing of the Morava river before Brno.
 It. Hans Laboeck, German cor- respondent first to report the start of the Red army's Vistu1a-to-O Oder offensive on Jan. 12. said that be- tween Stettin and the Sudeten mountains "the enemy is trying to smash the German dam on the east Ssn front with every tank and every gan ta his disposal
 Laboeck, indicating that the die V&s cast for the showdown battle in the east, said that when the 1lB4lLAIl6 uAOuIlIC0 tO AuAA AuAJ Jp Go AAC evidently expected it to do momen- sArily, then we must realize that the final decision is at stake"
 Hours earlier the German high command said the enemy continued his offensive preparations in Silesia and on the lower Oder"-the same stretch of eastern Germany referred to by Laboeok.
 It. Col. Alfred Won Olberg, Nazi Sadio commentator, said that 1t be- comes more and more obvious that the Soviets have concentrated very strong forces in the area between Kuestrin, east of Berlin, and Stettin, end 1t remains to be seen whether 6 new offensive against Stettin is slammed with a new thrust to the Baltic in the direction of Kiel."

Roosevelt Gay, Kind Up To End
By RANDOLPH S. HANCOCK fyInstAa Press Stan C0rresuondent'


 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Raleigh, N. O., April 14-(UP)-- The last impression left by Frank lin D. Roosevelt on the woman DOT trait painter who was alone, with him when he was stricken, was a man who was kind. pleasant and "gay until the end"
 Mrs. Elizabeth Shoumatoff, mid- dle-aged artist, who was sketchine the late president for new portrait as he worked on some papers in the Little White House" at Warm Springs, Ga, was on her way home to Locust Valley, N. Y, today.
 Mrs. Shoumatoff, contacted by telephone at Danville, Ga, as she motored homeward, was still shaken by the sudden collapse of the man who had been chatting cheerfully as he arranged his papers short time before.
 The shock of being so close to the tragedy that left the nation stunned for hours had temporarily wiped the details of the scene from Mrs. Shoumatoff's mind, she said.
 T would like to tell you all about it," she said. Tt was such a shock. I just can't recall what had gone on before."
 T really have to think about it all and take my time"
 Mrs. Shoumatoff, dark com- plexioned, matronly, Russian-born artist, was friend of the late pres ident's two cousins, Laura Delano and Margaret Suckley, who were with him at Warm Springs.
 She had done water color in 1943 of MT. Roosevelt wearing his favorite Navy cape which he liked so well that he had it copied and distributed prints to close friends at his last birthday party.
 She has gone to Warm Springs to sketch the President for another portrait while he relaxed at his southern retreat. Mrs. Shoumatoff was accompanied by Nicholas (Rob- binS) Katzubinsky, a Russian-born 7Sssovsgp.,T1sm whom she employees to photograph :'l character studies persons who do not have time to post at length for portraits.

Red Juncture With Third
 80 Miles off
(From NEA Telephoto)
BY BOYD LEWIS


 United Press War Correspondent
 Paris, April l4-(UP)-Americar Third Army tanks rolled into East ern Germany 8O-odd miles from g juncture with the Red Army today and cut the main Nazi escape roads from Berlin to the Bavarian re- doubt.
 It. Gen. George s. Patton's vet eran Third Army tank crews plunged toward the Russian lines at a mile-an- n-hour clip against the weakest German opposition, out flanking Leipzig and driving within 38 miles of Dresden, two of the biggest east-front military bases left to the battered Whermacht.
 Far to the north, one and per- haps more American Ninth Army divisions raced down the home stretch before Berlin under 8 rigid military security blackout. There was no confirmation of reports that they had reached positions 15 to 16 miles from Berlin, and latest of- ficial information = lagging\ "A hours or more behind the battle placed the Americans about 45 miles from the capital.
 London dispatches said all Brit ain was tense with expectancy, awaiting an imminent announce ment that the Americans had en- tered Berlin and linked up with the Russians.
 "The barricades are up in Ber- lin; the Reich is entering it's fina! hours," London newspaper head lines proclaimed.
 Radio Berlin admitted somberly that the Allied attacks were mount ing in fury all along the line and that the situation in the west had become even more acute" but the Nazis gave no details on the pro- gress of the battle.
 Stiff Opposition
 Elsewhere on the collapsing Ger man front these developments were reported by the Allied armies:
 U. s. First Army-ran into unex- pectedly stiff German resistance al- most at the gates of Leipzig and on it's northern flank in the Harz Mountains, but plowed steadily ahead for gains of five to seven miles on top of yesterdays 25-mile advances. Leipzig and the compan- ion base of Halle IS miles to the north were under direct attack and the First army captured 34,847 pris- oners yesterday, probably the big gest one-day bag ever taken by an Allied army.
 American Seventh army = drove into outskirts of Bamberg, 30 miles north of Nuremberg, and advanced within 55 miles of Czechoslovak border on southern flank of Third army.
 British Second and Canadian First armies-rolled up gains Of five Ito l2 miles toward the North Sea along 2OO-mile front, touching OH a general German retreat across the northern Elbe river line; Arnhem half cleared, Allies eight miles from North Sea coast and 40 miles from Hamburg.

 State Department officials say the final cost of the affair will depend on the length. They guess that the conference can last from four to 10 weeks and estimate, therefore, that $5O0.O00 will be the minimum figure.
 Money for the conference will come from the State Departments international conference fund for 1945. It originally totaled $l ,50O, 900. Earlier conferences, such as the in- ternational civil. aviation barley at Chicago. have whittled it down to s0C0. 900.

(By United Press)

The United Nations security con- ference at San Francisco will cost the U. s. Treasury some $500,OO0 to $500, ,000-equal to our war costs for only three to five minutes!
 That's about as close as the State Departments budget estimators can come to figuring out what the United States, as host nation to 46 other countries, will shell out for expenses.
 This government will foot the whole bill. except for the travel, housing, food and incidental ex- penses of the conference delegates and advisers of the other United Nations.
 The cost to the United States. aside from Ehe expenses 0G the American delegation and advisers, will include bills for small nloun- tains of equipment, all tine altera- tons required in conference build
