Grateful Folk Of FairfIeId Ready Plans
By Joseph Lopes

VI all Cue organizations through out the world there is no doubt in the hearts of the people of Fair field County that the United Ma tions is indeed the most important. People who hold positions in this mixed group of all races are not judged by who they are but rather for what they can accomplish to further the progress of a world seeking peace. s+s
 It is fitting, therefore, that the people in Fairfield County are eager to express their apprecia- tlon for the excellent work done by the secretariat and the person nel of this wonderful group of fine people. The appreciation of both our city and our county is being shown by giving invitations to the members of the United Nations and their families to visit various homes within Fairfield County on Sunday, June 9th. Hosts and hos tesses of Bridgeport, who wish to join in this cooperative spirit of hospitality by opening their homes, on the first Sunday of June, may get the names of the United Ma tions personnel to invite, if they will telephone Elwood Street, Bridgeport 4-51O6 or 67-5957, or Homer Tucker, Secretary of Com munity Services, Bridgeport 6-1181. >-a Other Bridgeport News
 Bridgeport is usually a very quiet, dignified city, but on last Friday everyone who attended or heard of the talent show at the St. Marks Parish Hall must have rolled with laughter. The program sponsored by the church was a
 masterpiece of merriment. Alice Johnson, who was the mistress of ceremonies, opened the program with witty advertisement about their product "smiles". Explaining that anyone can smile, she quickly sold the audience on the idea of using it more often. The first of the many talented singers was lit tie Dorin Faria who sang "Ameri- ca" and "I Am A Little Teapot. " Other singers were Louise Plum mer, Beverly Spears, Frank Alex ander, Joan Johnson, Juanita Spears, Janet Buster and Lydia Faria.
 We must not forget little Dorine Faria, fondly called Teddy by her friends, who sang. It really was great show with Philip and Frank Alexander wonderfully rep resenting the fine training their family has given them. The two young boys tapped with precision and coordination to the tune of the accompanying piano. But what really broke it up was when Rita Ford danced to the tune of the "Huckle- buck"

The performance of Verdi's
Aida" by the San Carlo Opera
Company at the Watergate last
night provided more satisfaction
for the ear than for the eye. Hard
ly has any production here of this
very scenic opera given the au-
dience so meager an idea Of the
setting of each act. This is not en-
tirely the fault of the manager
Fortune Gallo, for the company
owns adequate and costly scenery
which he has used in the best
theaters in the country. But it
apparently is ruling OF the Ma
tional Capital Parks that not a
nail may be driven in the floor or
walls of the barge's shell and there
is no way to support scenery with
out some means of attaching ii
solidly to the stage.
The problem was solved to some
extent for yesterdays perform
ance by propping the scenery with
sand bags. The acquiring of these
unusual stage adjuncts and their
adjustment consumed many val
liable labor hours. The result was
that only one set, the Temple OF
Isis, could be used for the en-
tire opera. 1t made a travesty OF
the Nile scene and that at the
Gate of Thebes. 1t would be bet
ter if Mr.. Gallo gave the operas
without scenery. in protest to the
Parks Office ruling. rather than SO

element of grand opera - the
beauty and correctness Of the

The performance was the occa-

Rina Telli in the title role. The

voice which. because of ITS fresh
ness and sweetness. set forth the
music in a new light. Vocally she

Deanna De Sanotos has one of
the finest voices heard in the role

caused disaster by coming in too

of Pasquale De Angels, the con-
ductor, saved the day.
He was the guiding force Of the

.Adenauer Press POLICY
Opposed by Allies as
Trend 10 Censorship
By the Assoeioisd Press

FRANKFURT, Germany. Dec.
Irresponsible sources said yes
terday that high Allied authori-
ties have protested orally to
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
against what some regard as the
beginnings Of press censorship by
the West German government.
DR.. Adenauer-s new press policy
requires that:
/. Each ministry will have press
departments giving all informa-
tionf needed" to newspapers.
2. All official statements from
the government ministries must be
funneled through the federal press
pof1ce.
8. Onicials In at least two min
istries, other than press officers,
can give no information to the
press. Violators have been threat
ened with dismissal.
DR.. Heinrich Boex, the federal
press chief, said this new policy
is designed to protect the press
against false information"
John ]. McCloy, American high
commissioner, told reporters:
II am particularly firm in the
belief that freedom of the press
can be a great bulwark in the
development of German democ-
racy. I believe that free COM
ment on the actions of govern
ment leaders must always be en-
couraged. and if any errors are
to be committed in that respect,
they should lie on the liberal
rather than the restrictive SIDE"
The West German government
recently threatened dismissal Of
any employe Of the economics and
transport ministries who gives in
formation to the press. DR.. Boex
said this directive was issued after
some indiscretions" by employees
of the two ministries.
An official OF the high comm1s-
sion's public affairs division said
II have good reason to believe
that such threats have been is
sued In all the ministries. They
Just haven't come to light yet"
German reporters in Bonn call

ployes-more than half as many
as the European Recovery Pro-
gram Ministry or the Ministry for
Refugee Affairs. Ohicially there

RICHMOND, Va. Dec. T.
Priceless Virginia records dating
back to the early 1860's have been

The documents constitute the
largest group Of Virginiana ire
claimed" since Gov. Tuck in the
spring of 1948 undertook a pro-
gram to get back "strayed. stolen

to State Librarian Randolph

Included are IL manuscripts: a
box Of miscellaneous papers and

books. They were taken along
with Confederate papers from the
State Capitol here by Federal
troops in April or May, 1865.

State spokesman said the National
Archives hau peen very co-opera-
tive in returning them.
"Once they were assured we had
adequate quarters in which to put
them, there was no trouble" he
said.
AS early as 1867, the Secretary
Of the Commonwealth. then a
colonel in the United States Army,
asked for their return. It took
House report 1922, 81st Congress,
and six months of negotiations by
State officials some 80 years later
to get them back.
The most important manuscript
in the group is the proceedings
Of the advisory council Of Virginia
from April 81 to June 20, 1861.
This includes a list of all appoint
ments of officers to the Army of
Virginia.
