LAWRENCE TIBBETT

The baritone, Lawrence Tib-
bett will be heard on Wednesday,
November 18th under w. M. A.
auspices.
AS child in Bakersfield, Calf,
he lived the kind of a life other
boys read about. His uncle, Bert
Tibbett, was the sheriff and his
father, the deputy. When Tibbett
was seven a Western bad man"
killed his father, whereupon his
uncle drilled the bad man"
Lawrence was the youngest of
four children and their mother
struggled hard to support them.
When it became apparent he
had a voice, his mother taught
him what she knew of singing, his
sister helping a bit. He recollects
that Il founded and directed a
male quartet-singing anywhere
that would bring us money"
A man who heard him sing
was Rupert Hughes, the novelist.
He volunteered to back Tibbett's
training in New York. Wilfred
Pelletier, conductor and coach at
Metropolitan recalls: I'm the first
addition he was nervous-as
everyone is. His voice broke and
that was enough for one day. But
he tried again in a few weeks" "
Tibbett's native good sense and
musical ambition enabled him to
reject an offer of $500 a week in
a musical comedy for $50 at the
Met. In the first year he attracted
no more than passing notice.
The second season he had role
in Verdi's "Falstaff". After Is
years the opera was being re-
vived with Antonio Scott in the
title role. When Tibbett finished
the Monologue in the second act
there was tumultous applause. He
took bow with Scott. There
were cries of ''Tibbett! Tibbett"
The lights dimmed but the ap-
plause grew. A musician slipped
back stage and pushed Tibbett
before the curtain. 1t was the
longest ovation in Met history
until that time.
Tibbett was elated and not a
The Arizona post., 1946-10-31

little stunned. Next morning,
grabbing a New York Times, he
turned eXcitedly to the music
page-there was nothing there.
His high hopes turned to crushing
DISAPPOINTMENT. He folded the
paper back to the first page-and
there it was! Since then his sue
cess has mounted steadily and his
growth as an artist has matched
the pace of his popularity until
today he is Americas favorite
baritone.
Tibbett's program for Tucson on
November 18th, at the University
Auditorium will include ''Di Pro-
venzo II Mar" from LA Travia-
ia, None But the Lonely Heart"
Song of the Flea" ''The Wan
derer," by Schubert, and a num-
ber of other offerings that are
dear to the hearts of concert

ample evidence of activity.
At the meeting of October 18th
the members adopted a consti-

ability they will receive a slight
ly larger sum.
Of the $4,000 granted national
agencies, $785 was given army
and navy work. Of the remaining
$3,3O5, beneficiaries were Joint
Defense Appeal and the various
National Jewish Hospitals.
UJA was principal beneficiary
of the overseas assistance, with
small sums awarded ORT, HAS,
Vaad Leumi, etc.
Palestinian agencies such as
the Hebrew University Histad-
ruth, the Technilogical Institute
at Haifa are to receive grants,
with the largest sum going to
the University.
The religious agencies to re-
ceive sums are the Synagogue
Council of America and the Cen
tral Conference of American
Rabbis.
In view of the expanded pro-
gram of the Tucson Jewish Com
munity Council, the sum for this
agency was considerably increas-
ed
In general, awards for the var
ious categories were reduced for
1916 compared with 1945 except
ing for civic protection work by
national agencies (from $1,210 to
$1,785 in 1946) and for the United
Jewish Appeal (from $4,000 to

SOUTHWEST HEALTH
COMMITTEE PLANS

The Southwest Health Com
mittee met Dec. 9th at the Bran
des School with representatives
from Phoenix and Tucson par
ticipating. Rabbi A. L. Krohn
was chairman.
There was a discussion about
accepting help from JCRA in
maxim the medical study for one
year, with JCRA paying for the
medical social worker. The pos
sibility of securing a grant of
funds from Foundation was pre-
sented. Since JCRA in their ex-
panded program were already in
terested in the asthmatic and
arthritic, the group concluded it
was wise to work and plan to-
gether with them. 1t was point
ed out that the Committee would
not consider itself committed
after the study to go along with
JCRA.
Additional funds will be re-
quired to carry out the financial
assistance part of the program.
These funds will need be secured
thru the assistance of the Coun-
Gil of Federations and Welfare
Funds, which will hold its annual
meeting in Atlantic City in late
January. Since personal pre-
sentation of the particular Ari-
zona problem and the purpose of
the study should be made orally,
the Committee appointed Rabbi
Krohn to attend the conference
for that purpose.
Present for the meeting from
Phoenix in addition to Rabbi

Jewish State in Palestine as the
only guarantee of peace In the
Middle East. The Jews he said
wish only to work and live IN
peace with the Arabs.
DIR. CHAIN WEIZMANN, the
day before expressed his pro-
found disappointment in Britain,
described the White Paper as
contributary factor to the destruc-
ton of Europe's Jews, expressed
keen disappointment in the fall
ure of liberal opinion to effect the
rescue of the Jews and solution
of the Palestine problem. he
warned, however, against ter
rorism in language no less blunt
than he used against the British.
He said that the true builders OF
Palestine were those Jews who
actually built the country and not
those ''who plot murder in dark
places" He said that Jewish mo-
rality cannot condone violence
even if the morality of other peo-
pies does condone it. He flatly
rejected the Morrison plan as be-
ing in the spirit of the White
PAPER. DR.. Weizmann expressed
his gratitude to the people of the
United States, to the Government
and to President Truman, and
added that despite temporary
tensions the Jews have not for
gotten that Britain was the first
to open to them the doors of Pale
stine for the development of the
Jewish National Home. DR.. Welz-
mann stated that Britain had two
alternatives, either return to the
original intentions of the Man
date" which he described as free
Jewish immigration contingent
only on the economic absorpt1ve
capacity of the country, and to
begin with the immediate adm1s-
sion of one hundred thousand
Jewish DPS into Palestine, or
"she is morally bound to leave
Palestine in a state of finality by
drawing up proposals for the
sound development of the coun-
try, recognizing the existence of
the Jewish nation side by side
with the Arab nations, and set
ting up a Jewish State"
DIR. ABBA HILLEL SILVER,
president of the Zionist Organiza-
ton of America: He flatly re-
iected the Jewish Agency'S COM
promise partition scheme for a
"viable" Jewish State in Pales-
tine, pointing out that it hasn't
ever been accepted by the British
for the London Conference which
is to be resumed in January. He
said that were partition accepted
as the basis, it would still be sui
cidal to enter the conference, lest
partition 'be regarded by others
as the maximum of our demands. "
DIR. NAHUM GOLDMANN,
member of the Jewish Agency
Executive: He said that England
wasn't prepared to abolish the
White Paper and permit large
scale Jewish migration, unless a
radical solution were found for
the Palestine problem. 1--WE must

it be a proposal for cooperation

Executive and the Arab League
over practical measures to rescue
Palestine from the Zionist men
ace." These differences, the corre-
spondent claims, "are expected to
delay the declaration promised by
the Arab League regarding Pal

The differences are believed to
stem from the Executives de-
mand from the League "for prac-

litical and diplomatic action only,

Price Rise Won't Hurl
Penny Milk Program

A threatened cents quart milk
price rise would not affect the penny
milk program for District schoo
children, in the opinion of Harry
M. Gardner, District supervisor o1
the program.
He said the proposed increase
certainly would not alter the pro.
gram ending May 81 and doubted il
the cost to children would rise
above l cent when the program
is resumed in October.
Even if the price of milk goes
up, Mr. Gardner said, he doubted
that dairies would raise the price
to schools, since the volume of busi-
ness is so large.
He admitted that if "any fan
tastic increase" is granted dairies
then the program would be
ruined" 1t has been estimated
that if Congress eliminates all fooc
subsidies and both producers and
dairymen are granted increases now
pending, the price of milk coulc
rise to 20 cents a quart. 1t now
sells for Is cents for home delivery
and two quarts for % cents in
stores.

NCHA Suits 10 Evict
Five Bellevue Tenants

Municipal Court Judge Nathan
Margold held yesterday that the
District Rent Control Act applies
to Federal as well as private hous-
ing here and dismissed suits to
evict five tenants of the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority S
Bellevue project.
The judge granted a motion by
Ward B. Mccarthy, attorney for
the defendants, to dismis the suits
because the Government failed to
state a cause of action" under the
rent act, which limits grounds for
eviction.
The Government contended the
rent statute was not designed to
cover Federal housing. The suits
said the defendants tenancy had
been terminated by notices to vacate
served upon them in accordance
with the requirements of the Dis
trict code.
Robert E. Mulrooney, chief of the
trial section, lands division, Justice
Department, said Judge Margold's
ruling very probably" would be
appealed.
The tenants are Reginald P. Wit
tex, Quadrant green S.W.; Myron
G. Pursel, Jib green SW.; Eugene
r. Isner, II Hammock green SW.;
Francis c. Wright, 10 Knot green
S.W., and James E. Skelton, 317
Boyer road SW. All are Navy
Yard employees.
The Bellevue project was de-
veloped by the Navy Department to
house families of employees under
the Potomac River Naval Com
mand. A year ago, it was taken over
by the NCHA.
Mr.. Mccarthy said three months
ago the tenants were notified of a
rent increase, which the defendants
refused to pay. They refused also
to sign a lease proffered them by
the NCHA, the attorney said, and
subsequently were notified that suit
had been entered against them.
The five families, which include
13 children, have lived at the
Bellevue project since l941, it was
said.
