Hzi Koyke, Japanese Singer
To Revisit Home This Summer
First Trip Back
In II Years Since
She Began Career

A Japanese born opera star
who defied family tradition to
come to America to study music
will make her first trip home this
summer in q years.
Her name. to Americans, is Hizi
Koyke. She is one of the best
known heroines of the famed
Puccini opera with a japanese
setting. Madame Butterfly"
When she said goodbye to her
father on Yokohama dock in
1923. she was Hisako Koike. Her
father reminded her she was a
blue blood''-a member of the
Samurai or knight class of Japa-
nese aristocracy. She was to
study child psychology and Ian
guages at Columbia University in
New York.
Won Parental Blessing.
Two years later she confessed
her musical ambitions. got a re-
luctant paternal blessing and
openly set out on an operatic
career. Her success will be
demonstrated Sunday when. she
sings Butterfly at the Water
gate-it will be something like
her 1,000th performance in the
role.
Nine. Koyke's relatives habitu-
ally looked down their noses at
opera singers. regarding them as
nothing better than "high-class
beggars," the singer said in an
interview today.
But as student in a Methodist
mission school in Tokyo. she sang
in a choir on Sundays and ac-
auired the first taste which led
to her career. Choir singing hard
ly filled the bill. because the young
singer also had a feeling for the
dramatic" which only the stage
could satisfy.
There wasn't even an oboe in
the Tokyo Symphony in those
days, and a musical education
meant leaving Tokyo, she recalled

Census Raises
Delegate Issue
In Maryland
St. Morys TO Goin
z in House.; Brood
ReshuffIing Seen

Preliminary census population
figures for Maryland counties have
intensified the controversy over
representation in the State House
of Delegates.
The latest figures to be re-
leased-for st. Marys and Calvert
counties - illustrate the uneven
growth of the different counties
over the past decade.
The figures show that st. Marys
has almost doubled its population
since 1910. appears to have jumped
from goth to 18th among the
counties, and stands to gain two
representatives in the House OF
Delegates.
The figures showed that today
st. Marys has 28.953 residents. In
1910 she had 1926. The 97.9 per
cent growth is by far the largest
recorded among the IT counties
that have reported their 1850 fig
ures so far.
Montgomery Figures Delayed.
Meanwhile. release of popula-
ton figures for Montgomery
County. expected today, were de-
layed as census officials struggled
to gather in the last stray bits OF
information.
According to District Supervisor
Langdon Backus. he still had a
few "holdouts" among Montgonn-
cry farmers who, so far have not
been caught up with by the
enumerators gathering agricul-
tural statistics. Mr.. Backus said
he hoped to have the preliminary
figure ready for release late today.
Figures on Calvert County were
released today and showed a
growth of only 20.9 per cent since
1910. The population today is H.
272. AS against 10,484 a decade
ago. Calvert stands to gain no new
delegates.
Unfreezing Question Raised.
Maryland voters will decide in
November whether the member
ship of the House of Delegates
will be frozen, at its present 1913.
It will take a constitutional
amendment and then ratification
of a new State Constitution to
change the present apportionment
of seats.
Other Maryland counties Show
ing significant growth since 1910
are Howard County, which has
jumped "a per cent; Charles Coun-
ty. 80 per cent and Cecil, 26.
Development of a big Naval air
station at the mouth of the Patux-
ent River is responsible for much
of the growth of st. Marys County,
where Maryland's founding fathers
landed.
The facility was built there early
in the war and has continued as
a major station since the end of
hostilities.
Navy TcTsOuHeA AucluuCu.
St. Marys gets population credit
for the Navy personnel stationed
there, thousands of civilian en-
ployes, then families and other
residents of housing developments
that sprang up from nothing.
One of these developments. Lex
ington Park. has an estimated
population of 5000.
In 10th place among Maryland's
% counties in 1910, st. Marys was
between Howard and Queen
Annes. On the basis of prelim-
mary census figures, she jumps
around Caroline, Talbot, Somerset,
Garrett, Howard, Worcester,
Charles and Dorchester. Dor
chester has 27,780 residents, and
in No. IL spot is Cecil with 80 800.
