EYES ARE AN ASSET

A persons eyes are a valuable
asset. Yet many neglect them. AS
an adult gets older the eye lens,
like an old rubber band, loses it's
power to accommodate the eye to
dim light or small print.
This is not serious. 1t is not a
disease any more than grey hair.
1t is natural sign of middle age
which can be relieved by the use
of eady-to-wear reading glasses.
Linotype operators frequently
need simple plus lenses to help
them see the "copy" they set on
their machines. Tool M ,ers and
inachinists in defense plants must
read with accuracy the cages with
which they turn out precision in
struments. The older and more
skilled these men are, the more apt
they are to have middle-aged far
sightedness, which can be overcome
by inexpensive rsady-to-wear read
ing glasses which are cold in valic

Gallery Presents
Ethyl Wise in
Song Recital
By Elena de Soyn

Ethyl Wise, attractive colora-
tura soprano, who gained some of
her training at the Howard Uni
versity, was presented in recital
by the National Galley of Art in
the West Garden Court last night.
Sixteenth century songs, trans
cribed from a manuscript lutte
book, and three groups of songs
in German, French and English
showed the artists good taste in
selecting program and her lovely
voice.
While not powerful, the timbre
of her soprano is warm and
vibrant. Also it is of the type
which acoustical imperfections of
a hall cannot destroy. The sur
plus resonance in the West Garden
Court, which as a rule, slightly
blurrs the sound. permitted the
tone, in this case, to float with a
bell-like clarity.
Selections such as Obradors'
"Coplas de Curro Dulce," Dukes
1.-The Bird" and THE Piper" gave
the singer an opportunity to dis
play her natural ability. Her runs
were effortless and her high tones.
although a trif1e below pitch, had
always a pleasing quality. With
time, her coloratura may acquire
more brilliancy and greater force
of projection. For the present,
Miss Wise seems to be at her best
in numbers such as Bachelet's
"Chere Mutt" In this, aided by
good French diction, she brought
out its emotional significance with
artistic restraint and opulent
volume.
While the seven songs after the
intermission, and the final encore,
were diverse in style, there was
not much change in tone color or
infection to make for variety.
De Falla's mana" and Niles Blue
Madonna" were somewhat lost
beside Obradors' effective song
and Bainton's ingratiating 1.-THE
Nightingale Near the House"
The difficult piano parts re-
quired special skill and treatment
on the part of the pianist. Arpad
Sanders expert accompaniments
were fiattering to the artists voice
and helped to bring out its best
points.

Moscow Mayor Joins
In Paris Birthday Fete
BY The Asseeiatsd Press

PARIS, July 9.-PariSians were
recovering today from an an-night
party celebrating their city's
2,00Oth birthday.
Thousands danced last night
away in the streets following a
high-spirited champagne party at
which both East and West paid
tribute to the City of Light.
The Mayor of Moscow. seldom
seen outside the Soviet Union, sat
down at a luxurious banquet in
the medieval City Hall with dele
cations from Washington, London,
Belgrade and 80 other capitals,
The Moscow Mayor, M. A. Yasnov,
hailed Paris for upholding the
tradition of freedom.
The guests earlier watched a
spectacular parade Of bands in
front of Napoleon's tomb as the
guests of Frances President Vim
cent Auriol.
The birthday party was largely
symbolic because no one knows
just how old Paris actually is. The
city's existence was first recorded
by Julius Caesar in So BE-, which
would make it at least 2,003 years
old.
President Truman yesterday
sent the following message to-
Mayor Pierre de Gaulle Of Paris
upon the 2.000th birthday Of the
FrencEp capital:
ITO the City Of Light on its
2.00Oth birthday, I express the
profound appreciation Of free men
for the contribution Paris had
made throughout it's long life to
knowledge. to art and 10 the virile
defense Of the heritage Of the
Christian world"

Without mentioning Senator
Mccarthy, Secretary of State
Acheson told a news conference
the suspension of Mr.. Davies and
Mr.. Club was required under a
law which became applicable un-

about a month or six weeks ago.
Senators said he apparently was
talking about a law enacted last
year which gives department
heads absolute discretion" to
suspend any employe when such
a step was found necessary in the
Interest of national security. They
said that measure says nothing
about suspension being mandatory.
Mr.. Acheson said, however, that
employees who are required to
undergo hearings since application
of the law became~effective must
automatically be suspended. He
said those involved in earlier hear
ings or procedures have not had

employees have been suspended
