Although Irish ballads were not
the most conspicuous part of the
program given by Christopher
Lynch in Constitution Hall last
night, they attracted good size
audience, which readily responded
to their charm. Always prompt
with encores, the tenor prolonged
his generous fare of 18 listed songs
and three arias by popular num-
bers after each group, aided by
Eugene Bossart's inspiring accom-
paniments and virtuosity at the
piano.
Identified with "The Voice of
Firestone", the singers name has
been linked for sometime to that
of John Mccormack as the latter's
protege and pupil and helped to
bring him to the attention of the
public. His voice has a sweet quail
ity peculiar to the Irish, but the
shadow of Mccormack cannot make
up for the deficiency of his vocal
| training nor for his French or

noticeable in songs with a rapid

unmistakable signs of fatigue early
in the evening, as in the aria from

Lynch's English diction, his style
and appreciation of sentiment-as
in Have You Seen but White

great deal of repose and feeling
his artistic coordination of tone

measure, for other shortcomings
and made his singing enjoyable.

cellence. 1t was he who made
every song a masterpiece, skilfully
weaving around the melody and
changing the character of his piano
tone according to needs. His playing
of two solos, Weber's Perpetual
Motion" and Liszt's Rhapsody. No.
H., were a dazzling exhibition Of
pianism. In Liszt's number he
achieved some unusual effects SO
closely resembling the Hungarian
cembalo, as to almost defy detec-
ton. Contrary to the customary
exhibition of power the artists
reading was one of scintillating
lightness and perfection of form.

can and British planes flew the
supply route to Berlin today in
the face of a Russian threat to
force down planes straying from
the 20-mile wide air corridors to
the former German capital.
The American answer to the
Russians threat. made last nigh

Both British and U. S. authori-
ties said publicaly the Russians

any action they take.
The Russians, citing long list
Of alleged violations Of their ter
ritory, also said they would force
down "all aircraft without iden-
tification marks of nationality"
flying over the Soviet some, in
cluding the three air corridors.
The second threat presumably
refers to non-military planes,
which do not carry nationality
marks. The Russians have COM

the Berlin Air corridors.
Some official sources tended
to discount the Soviet note as
another move in the "war of

Marshall Plan has helped Bri-
tan "see its way out of the
woods"
Speaking last night at the an
nual dinner of the Academy of

termed the foreign aid program
a gesture of "magnaminity and
generosity"

He said indications were that
agricultural production would be
back up to pre-war levels by

He said that the world pro-
badly will be confronted with a

those flgureS.
Emil Rieve, President of the
TWUA, says the average wage
is lower in the south partially
because of differences in the
type of manufacturing.
More southern NILS make
such products as yarns denims
and coarse fab"cs Rieve says,
items which require less highly
skilled labor, while northern
mills make more of the finer IA
brics.
The slashing and knot tieing,
for instance, have to be perform
ed more skilfully on quality ia
brics. Where more care is need
ed, a labor spokesman says, a
worker tends less looms.
The question of norta-sorth
cost differential has been a bass
of argument for years. The old
argument attracted new atten-
ton recently when Royal little,
head of the $125,O00.00o Texton
Corporation, talked of proh!hi-
tive costs in the north when
compared with the south.
One Of the costs he mention
ed was power. There appears lit
tie question that power costs
tend higher in New England
than in the south but many in
dustry sources feel power cost is
not a major factor. On the aver
age a comparison of privately
owned utilities shows a south

During the discussion which
followed Mrs. Jeanette Marks
suggested that the Christmas
lights be turned on the night Of
Thanksgiving, rather than wait
until the official Christmas open
ing on November 20. Her sug-
gestion was put in the form Of

Lynch asked when the asso-

the decorations to be put and
he expressed the opinion that
they should be erected as soon
as possible. He was instructed
by the association to proceed
with the erection of the decora-
tons as soon as they are re-
ceived.
The expected discussion of the
