Fourth Verse of
America to Replace
Formal Prayer in
New York Schools

NEW YORK, (JTA) = A COM
promise proposal under which
children attending the New York
City public schools will start off
each day with the oath of allegi-
ance and the singing of the fourth
stanza of America" instead of a
prayer, as recommended by the
New York State Board of Regents,
was adopted last week by the
New York City Board of Educa-
ton.
The compromise ended a pro-
tracted conflict in the board on
the Regents proposal which many
educators opposed in fear that a
formal prayer would open the
door to religion in the schools.
Jewish organizations were among
those strongly opposing the rec
ommendation on the grounds that
it would have a decisive effect
among the school children.
Only about 300 school boards of
the 5000 in the state have thus
far accepted the recommendation
of the Board of Regents first adj
vanced in November 1851.
The city board also instructed
the Superintendent of Schools to
review the curriculum of the
schools to ensure that it includes
"a propriate programs" empha-
sizing ''the spiritual interest and
patriotic motivations of our pio-
neering ancestors; the devotion
and self-sacrifice of the Founding
Fathers and their abiding belief
in the principles of democracy"
The fourth verse of "America''
reads:
Our Fathers God, to Thee,
Author of Liberty,
To Thee we Sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.

ISRAELI SINGER WINS
PLAUDITS AT
METROPOLITAN

NEW YORK, (JTA) - Hide
Zadek, Israels outstanding con-
tribution to grand opera, won the
plaudits of the critics last week
when she assumed for the first
time here the title role of Aida
at the Metropolitan Opera House.
"Miss Zadek's Aida is an ap-
pealing one," the New York
Times reported. although her
voice is more lyric than is ideal
for the taxing role, she managed
it with such skill as to obscure
the fact last evening. Obviously
an artist of experience, Miss
Zadek knows how to move on the
stage. She makes Aida a convinc-
ing and sympathetic character"

CARUSI NAMED
IMMIGRATION
COMMISSIONER

WASHINGTON, (JTA) = Ugo
Carusi, former chairman of the
U. S. Displaced Persons Commits
sion, will be nominated by Presi-
dent Dwight Eisenhower as Com
missioner of immigration and
Naturalization, it was learned
from official sources.
Mr.. Carusi's appointment would
remove the possibility of the Sc
lection of another candidate for
the job, Richard Arens, whose
background on immigration mat
tiers was considered controversial
because of his close association
with such figures as Sen. Pat Nc
Carran and ex-Sen. Chapman
Revercomb. Mr.. Carusi was
named by President Truman to
the D. P. Commission and is con-
sidered by Jewish organizations to
be favorably disposed toward a
liberal immigration policy.

Chilean Woman SpecioIizes
In Supplying Embassies Here

| An efficient Latin-American
woman has put her liking for
the United States and her Ian
guage proficiency to work in a
highly specialized business here.
She Is Miss Digna Munoz,
whose Embaserve-Digna Muncz
Co. at 2024 P street NV. caters
to the household needs Of newly
arrived foreign emissaries and
Americans bound for foreign
missions.
Miss Munoz came here in 1946
from Santiago. Chile, to study
labor problems for her govern
ment. She stayed a year and a
half, went home, and four
months later came back, "be-
cause ] liked It,"
Continuing her Spanish teach
ing. she joined the Embaserve
firm, established about 10 months
ago. She took the firm over two
months ago after the corpora
tion formerly owning it dis
solved.
Besides Spanish and English,
Miss Munoz knows French,
Italian and Portuguese. With
this linguistic background and
the help Of interpreters in some
cases, she and her customers of
some IS countries have no
trouble doing business. ,
Miss Munoz estimates 80 per
cent Of her business is export
ing. She deals mostly with the
embassies. whose wants are
about 80 per cent electrical ap-
pliances, she says. But she can
furnish a house for them if they
so desire.
Her diplomatic customers don't
have to pay taxes, and the firm
gets important discounts from
distributors, which she passes on
to her buyers. Other customers
can buy, too, but they must pay
the taxes.
AS a special service, she pro-
vides transformers for those
whose electric lines carry 220
volts. Domestic lines here are
10 volts.
Miss Munoz says she has a
hard time keeping up with her
foreign customers in the matter
of new developments. She says
they are more exigent" than
the Americans in taking new
products to heart.
Evening star., 1953-05-15

"They have an idea that the
United States is always in a
rush." she explains. when
they see something new adver-
tised, they come and want it i'm
mediately. Sometimes they see
the advance notice and come to
buy even before the new product
comes out.
Il didn't have time to read in
the magazines about talkie-
movie projectors before I re-
ceived requests. They come
with catalogs and they send
the clippings with requests to
Please send it to me-"
For another sidelight, she
finds that foreign people buy
much more here than in their
own countries.
I'm our countries, we are &C
customed to buying only when
we need something" she ex-
plains.
IF you need a hat, you go to
a hat shop: shoes, you go to a
shoe shop. Everything is in its
own shop. You don't see large
department stores very much.
You don't see people just look
ing around"
Since the business is not a year
old. Miss Munoz doesn't know
what her yearly volume will be.
but she says she moves about
10 refrigerators a month among
other things.
Besides refrigerators, washing
machines. radios and television
sets, her foreign customers are
very much interested in cameras
as well as the latest in ice crush
ers, juicers. mixers and the like.

Quincy Porter's eighth string
quartet. premiered locally by the
Budapest Quartet in March,
1851, was repeated in the Library
of Congress by this group last
night. The composition was re-
ceived approvingly and brought
the artists several recalls.
This work, launched by the
Stanley String Quartet of the
University of Michigan, was
commissioned by the university
and performed there in the sum-
mer of 1850 for the first time.
The composers characteristic

strong. They are too spon-
taneous to be deriVative and
seem to spring from a natural
source. Knowing that the COM
poser is descendent of Ameri-
can pioneers it is not surprising.
Mozart's Quartet in C Major,
K. V. 465," which preceded
Porter's on the program, is
amongst Mozart's best. The
harmonies of the opening
"Adagio," played with great ex-
preston and a sensitive tone
seemed other worldly. Where
Mozart is concerned the Buda-
pest artists are supreme in style
and feel for his music. This
season they are in a particularly
good form and their fine en-
semble is more effective than

as a rule in the contemporary
music. The quartet is short, but
conveys much.
The opening measures are
filled with sadness and offer a
wonderful opportunity for soulful
expression of which the Buda-
pest artists availed themselves to
the fullest. The dissonances are
never glaring, the outline is easy
to follow and moves in straight
line with well defined purpose.
The second "Adagio" in a re-
ligious mood is broad and somber.
