The San Carlo Opera Company
returned to the Watergate and
presented Puccini's Madame But
terfiy" to the Washington public
last night after a long absence.
The operatic season scheduled for
out-of door consumption, was to
have started Wednesday with the
action-packed Carmen" but the
rain caused a postponement until
next Monday, the weather gods
willing. So it was that the tragic
and moving Butterfly" with the
lovely Hizi Koyke in the title role,
became the opening presentation,
1t proved a successful launching
of an opera series that promises to
be of unusual interest.
The many years experience of
the company's manager, Fortune
Gallo, in giving opera on all kinds
of stages, was to be recognized in
the manner in which the settings
were adapted to the barge's limi-
tation. Exceptions could be taken
to some minor points but on the
whole, Mario Valle. the stage di-
rector, deserves praise for Great
ing the full illusion with the CO.
lorful scenery and the stage
properties, where details were
taken care of excellently. A beau
tiful curtain of vivid design added
considerably to the effect and.
when parted, showed a perspective
that gave depth to the scene.
Miss Koyke's -Cho-San has
become a classic. 1t has lost moth
ing of it's appea, during the years
when the opera was not given and
in many ways has deepened and
ripened. There is still the exqui-
site grace, the flowing line of pos
ture and the ineffable charm that
only a native could bring to the
role of the Japanese heroine. Her
voice has grown stronger and still
better produced. Although the am
plification was not too kind to its

dents statement in fact cheered with anticipated results of the Washington Conference.
 The London Times, according to a broadcast of August 30, says
 The President has put the great issues at Wash ington into right perspective. The British task in these talks is neither to engage in political controversy to ask for charity. It s first to say frankly what this country intends to do of it free will towards solving the special and urgent problems arising out of the present unbalanced state of world trade It is secondly to consider with equal frankness and in equal detail the way of mutual concession and CO., operation by the countries both sides of the Atlantic, which MT.

NATIVE ID. P.'s

Senator Pat McCarran, D., Nev., is not only vehenmently opposed to foreign D. P's, but appeared bent on making displaced persons out of a group of native Americans.
 That is the charge made against him by the Pyramid Lake Paiute tribe in his home state.
 A resolution adopted by the tribe council charges that bill introduced by McCarran would turn over valuable reservation land to white cattlemen. The Interior De- partment has denounced the mea- sure, and the Supreme Court has upheld the tribes claims.
 McCarran's bill would circumvent that decision.
 NOTE-Despite his intransigent opposition to liberalizing the ob- structive displaced persons law, McCarran sought to obtain special permission to bring in several hun dred Basque sheepherders for Ne vadans.

France" the report says, to the biggest, one of the richest and the most effective publicity organiza- tions in the world, the Communist party. That party has not missed a bet to deride, malign and falsify the Marshall Plan with every seg- ment of the French population. The French administrator of the Mar shall Plan have not begun to match these hostile operations
 The report states that leading French newspapers bluntly declare they cannot afford to be pro- American because it would cost them circulation"
 Tt is probably safe to say" the report says, that one New York paper has carried more analytical explanation of the Marshall Plans objectives than all the non-Com- munist French press combined. The parties in the French coalition will not undertake any international program unless they are convinced that the end outweighs political differences. There are no signs that such conviction is about to emerge, and the United States as well as France faces the conse- quences."

 Mccormack was brought into Ar my G-2 by former Secretary of War Henry Stimson. Mccormack had no previous military service, and has been practicing corpora tion law since l946.

SURPRISES ECA EFFORT

One of the major differences be- tween the House and Senate on the deadlocked ECA appropriation bill is continuance of the so-called Marshall Plan watchdog commit tee. The Senate is insisting on continuing the committee; the House is opposed.
 Senate demand for continuance of the committee is based on the contention it is needed to main- tain an independent check on ECA operations abroad. But while the Senate has been pressing this ar gument, the committee has been withholding highly revealing re- port on French attitude toward ECA.
 Reason for the suppression is not clear. The report contains the type of information the committee is supposed to supply Congress. But, whatever the reason, the commit tee has been sitting on the report for more than two months-while battling with the House for an- other $350000 to continue function ing
 Basic theme of the report is that very little effort is being made to inform the French people what the U. s. is doing for them under the Marshall Plan
 As a result of this failure, says the report this enormous opera tion, which is costing the United States so much money, is viewed with hostility. This effort is talk en by the great majority in France to be meddlesome, presumptuous scheme of the United States to use France to our own ends"
 The report warns that the Mar shall Plan cannot succeed as long IS this attitude prevails.

Americas problem, far from being over, will have just begun. We will be up against France which has never understood the Marshall Plan, or that America was in good faith offering to underwrite recovery andi the consequent protection against Communism.

Sen. Homer Capehart, R., Ind, tried to browbeat the agency into approving passing point legislation. Clark strongly upheld the ETC in its refusal.
 Four months later, the Supreme Court ruled against Standard Oil of Indiana in an antitrust case brought by a group of Michigan small business men. Following this decision Clark, apparently, revers- ed his attitude. Since then, he has been quietly pressuring for restora- tion of the basing-point system.
