Miss, Want to Be Happy? Choose Fat Man for Beau

Boston, Nov ls-- (up)-ff . woman wants . happy married ne she should choose d tat man for . mate, according to Prof, Earnest A Hooton, Harvard anthropologlst,
 It's Q simple process of ellmlnAs ton, he said at Temple Israel Hall last night aaahe explained the dlf. ferences between the three main types of men. These are the fat men, the bone and muscle men, and the string.bean type, tiooton said
 Hooton said that each type ol man ls further divided and the fal man or "butter.ball" type has al least % distinctive chafacteristics.
 These, he said, Include love ol physical comfort, Q sense Of relaNa- ton, slow, smooth reactions and q love of eating, ceremony and for. mality, They are good judges oi character, remarkable family men and good husbands, he added.
 Hooton warned women against the "string-bean" who he said gen. orally suffers from sociophoblA, a dislike for people, suffers from chronic fatigue and Is unpredlcta. ble.
 The bone and muscle" man, ac. cording to Hooton Is the perennial sophomore"--the man who comes back to lead the cheers.
 He is apt to weary his wife with his romantic tendencies Hooton said or go to the other extreme and bury himself in an abstract book on philosophy.
 Most men fortunately are com. binations of all types, he said, and "I myself have inherited all the annoying characteristics of each of the three types"

COP Thrift ToCutAwoy On Defense
 TPUmen Expected
 To Fire First Veto
 On kAilltaFy Issue

Washington, Nov iS-CuPD That 20 percent personal income tax re. duction promised by Republican leaders added up today to a matter of more than sS,40o, 100000 and q bitter dispute over national defense
 Rep. Joseph w. Martin, Jr. (R,. Mass.), told a press conference yes. terday he believed that % percent cut across the board could be made effective on next years inccme. That makes 1t just about unanlmou. among the responsible Republican leadership. Martin will be elected speaker in January.
 Rep. Harold Knutson, (R.-Minn.) who win be chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee in the next Congress, and Sen. Robert A Taft, tR,.o), who will head the Senate Finance Committee, already have endorsed the tax cut.
 Veto In Issue Expected
 National defense apparently will have to make the largest single con. tribution to economy in SO large a tax reduction. On that issue Pres- ident Truman may fire his first veto at the new Republican Congress.
 Mir Truman and the Democratic Party are on record against tax cuta on grounds they would be imitation. ary and, further, would not be war; ranted without con1pensating reduc- ton in expenditures. The Adminis- tration contends that national de- fense was held to the lowest safe limit in the present budget. There is no reason to expect the President to recommend any tremendous further cuts there.
 Knutson said in a radio address CNBC) last night that the COP. would balance the budget and reduce the public debt even with the 20 per- cent tax cut by reducing ali need less spending"
 If the President should veto the efforts of the Republicans in Con. gress to bring about greater economy in government and a lowering of Federal income taxes" he said, that is his responsibility for which he must answer to the people"
 Could Cut Other Items
 In his revised budget of last August, Mir. Truman figured on spending sl3,2l0,000,0O on national defense in the current fiscal year. He estimated personal income tax revenue at sl8.367 ,000. 900. A 20 per- cent tax reduction based on that fig ure would amount to s3.673, 900 900.
 National defense would not have to contribute all of the economy. But 1t is the largest single expenditure and evidently would have to con- tribute the largest share. The other big appropriation items are:
 Interest on the public
 debt .a..,......... 5000, 900, ,OoC Veterans pensions and

Opera Company Triumph In U TrOUGtOre' Performance

Giuseppe verdle tragic opera, n TfoVatore" with background ln the middle 18th century was given an acceptable and smooth perform. anee last night at the Loew-Roll Theater. A receptive audience recoe. nised the musical attachments Of the principals and the ensemble, and the principal arias, concerted numbers and choruses were largely appreciated. A Well-balanced or ehestra directed by Frits Mahler, was sufficiently attuned to the mel. odious measures that characterized the operas of Verdi, whose works in romantic vein, have melody, ros nance, blood and thunder and ulti- mate extinction for a fair amount of the singers,
 Song of the Troubaaour
 In this troubadours story which has the old much used theme of vengeance, murder of the wrong child, gypsy woman has the large part Of this dramatic musical feast. In her reading of AzVcema, Martha Larrimore, contralto, carried of the honors in this particular piece since it gave her every opportunity for good singing and acting. Miss Lar rimore, was always accurate as to pitch. and the role seemed to offer her no difnculty, even reclining in the last act when she repeated the "Ai nostri monu" IHome to Our Mountains) theme with tones ex- pertly placed and of lovely quality. Although the heroine and hero of the piece, who are eustomarily soc prano and tenor, are usually re- garded as the principals of dram- atic work with music, the old gypsy mother in n Trovatore" has the best opportunity in the more or less suited period which occupies the work.
 Miss Greco q Tragic LeonOra
 But while the gypsy as splendidly sung by Miss Larrimore, has a rare opportunity for singing lovely pass ages and reaching very high notes that end in well placed shrieks call- ing for vengeance again rich. low and sweet, the singing of Norma Greco as LeonorA, Rafael Legares as Manrico, Jess Walters as Count Di Luna and valfrido Patacchi as Fernando, soprano, baritone and basso respectively, was by no means an inconspicuous job. Each gave a good account dramatically and lyrically. Miss Greco was a tragic Leonora, and though the part is not an easy one, she managed it with grace, singing well the lovely "D'Amour sull ali Rosee," in the third act, and also with good effect, the 'fMiserere" the chorus and Mir. Lagares offstage heard to good ef- feet. ClimaxeS were well handled with no loss of melodic line.
 Jeff Walters as the Count did some excellent singing, his stage presence adding much to his per- formance, and he and Leono-a aid some Of their best singing in "vivra" "Contende h Giublv.s Tracing back to the opening of the opera Valfrido Patacchi as Fernando narrated the story giving the part character, his vocal and dramatic skill was ac- ceptable.

 Washington, March { - (UP) - The only Senator who chews cold cigars without first removing the cellophane, seems to like the pro- posed loan to Great Britain little more than he does the flavor of tobacco.

He placed his unshuckled cheroot on the edge of his desk and told his cohorts the way he figured 1t, the British wanted about $3,750,- 100000.
