EOf Souvenirs From
Inaugural Platform

A proposal to make souvenirs
of the lumber from the stand
on which President Eisenhower
and Vice President Nixon took
the oath of Office, with the pro-
ceeds from sale of the souvenirs
going to charities, was made

Juryin 81 Million Suit
And Pilot Visit Scene
OF Crash Killing S.

A jury hearing a 81 million
test damage suit resulting from
1949 airplane crash visited the
scene of the disaster near Ma
tional Airport today.
The jury. accompanied by
Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE and
counsel for all sides, Travelled by
bus from U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia,
where the case is being tried.
Guided Around Airport.
Also on the tour was Capt.
Erick Ries Bridoux, Bolivian pilot
who was flying the P-38 fighter
plane which collided in mid-air
with a large Eastern Air Lines
passenger plane on November l,
1949.
Fifty-f1ve persons aboard the
passenger plane were killed.
Capt. Rios said it was the first
time he had been back to the
scene since the crash. The jury
of nine men and four women,
including one alterate, was guild
ed around the airport itself by
George v. Ashley, CAA tower
supervisor. Also present was
Glenn Tigner, one of those in the
control tower at the time of the
crash.
The tour included the general
vicinity of the crash, giving the
jurors an opportunity to note the
location of the various land
marks Of the area.
Test on Liability.
Representatives of estates for
all but a few of the passengers
killed brought suits for dam
ages. The suit on trial is to
serve as a test suit as to ques-
tions of liability. It was brought
by representatives of the estates
-of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph F. Miller,
who lived at SIP Grove avenue,
Chevy Chase, Md. Both were
killed in the crash.
The jury is to make a de-
termination of any damages
there may be against Eastern
Air Lines, or Capt. Rios. Judge
Mcclure, however, would deter
mine any damages there might
be against the Federal Govern
ment under terms of the Federal
Tort Act.
Jurisdiction at Issue.
A main contention at the trial
is whether the two planes col
lided over the Potomac River or
over Virginia territory.
If it took place over the river,
District law which does not place
a limit on the amount Of dam
ages, would prevail at the trial.
If it took place over Virginia
the law of that State would
limit the damages to $4,000 for
the death of each person.

Even the stars have no

ponder this cruel hoax:
Shirley Lucas. a well-known
queen of rodeo circuits, who
often doubles for movie beauts
in riding scenes, picked up her
easiest pay check from RKO
for her assignment in "Ari-
zona Outpost" She was en-
gagged to sub for Virginia Mayo
in some fast and exciting West
ern sequences. but, instead,
remained on the sidelines dur
ing week of such shooting.
What Director Alfred Worker
and his aides didn't discover,
until actual shooting began,
was that Miss Mayo is an ex-
pert Western rider in her own
right and owns a large stable.
II didn't mention it," Vir-
ginia told the director, "be-
cause I'm an old friend of
Shirley's and I wanted her to
get that pay check"

who had the local manage
ment. There was dissatisfac-
ton from the Nets end at
the reception accorded the per-
formances here, and criticism
among the musically interested
in the city. Objection to the
choice of operas presented
heads the list.
According to Mrs. Snow, in
addition to LA Boheme" and
Samson ct Dalila," she SUBJ
mitted list of six operas from
which a choice was to be made
for the remaining two per-
formances. These were La
Traviata," Boris Godounov."
"Rosenkavalier," La Forza del
Destino." "Tosca," and "Cosi
fan tutti." Contrary to pre-
valent opinion, it was the
Nets manager who believed
the latter opera would not
draw. This was substantiated
somewhat by the statement of
Margaret Carson, head of the
Nets press department. that
this opera was a popular but
not a complete financial sue
cess.
Stoge A Problem
Boris" "Rosenkavalier" and
"Forza del Destino" were ruled
out by the Met management,
said Mrs. Snow, because the
local stage was too small for
the size of the chorus needed
and the pit could not accom-
modate the larger orchestra re-
quired for these works. I'm
pressed on the Metropolitan's
staff, no doubt, were the diff
culties encountered last year
in adjusting the New York
productions to the only avail
able stage in Washington.
This all comes back to the
subject of the talks at the
Willard Hotel luncheon by Mr..
Kearns and by Representative
Charles r. Howell of New
Jersey. Both men have bills
before the House of Repre-
sentatives advocating not only
the building Of a proper opera
house or tHeater for the arts
but for the establishing of an
arts commission in the Gov
ernment. Similar bills have
been introduced in the Senate.
The building of an opera house
is also the main goal of the
National Opera Guild. At pres
ent the guild has a member
ship of 800 of which donors
and sustaining members have
contributed $25, $50 or $1O0.
The regular membership fee
is $5. OF this 81 goes for the
Metropolitan Opera magazine.
the remaining 81 into the
treasury. The guild has at
hand, after expenses were
paid $4,000-not a large sum
toward an opera house but
beginning.
Controversial Subject
With all the good will toward
the art. grand opera remains,
as always, a subject Of con-
troversy. When the theater Of
the arts is finally built, it will
be necessary to provide audi
ences to keep it going. Wash
ington is, unfortunately, a city
of divided interests, with little
Of the local pride so fiercely
operating in other places. The
benefit of whatever is done for
the young people in the schools
now will be seen later and
they may be the ones to profit
by the efforts of Congress and
the Washington Opera Guild.
Right now. progress toward the
opera house goal Is very, very
slow.

An Opera Guild Assist
Its Educational Program Provided
HuIf-Price Met Tickets for Students
News of Music
By Alice Eversmon

Representative Carroll D.
Kearns of Pennsylvania, a
speaker at the Music Lovers
luncheon at the Willard Hotel
last Monday, said he was
amazed to see so few children
and young people at the re-
cent Metropolitan Opera per-
formances. AS a former con-
cert artist and choral director,
later active in the public
schools of Chicago and Penn
sylvania. as teacher, admin
istrator and superintendent,
Mr.. Kearns has more than the
usual legislators interest in
the subject. From his own ex-
perience, he told how neces-
Sary it was for the school chill
dren to be instructed in the
various points Of grand opera
as well as being told the story.
and to be urged to attend.
On the whole, however. the
number Of students who did
hear the operas was consid-
cradle. Their attendance was
made possible by the National
Opera Guild Of Washington
which fulfilled one of its ex-
press reasons for existence by
buying tickets at full price
and allowing high school and
music school students to have
them for half the amount.
All told, GOT students went to
two performances. The guild
bought 408 tickets for the mat
inee performance Of "Rigo-
letto" and would have con-
tracted for more for this per-
formance and for others, had
the tickets been available
within the price the guild
could afford to pay.
To Expond Next Yeor
So great was the clamor for
the half price tickets that the
guild made q successful effort
to obtain some more for
Samson ct Dalila." For the
closing performance Of the
series, the Guild, bought
199 more seats which were
promptly snatched up. The ef-
fort to provide cheaper ad-
mission for students has been
the guilds objective from the
time of its organization. Its
educational program has re-
ceived a great stimulus by the
response and will be expanded
next year.
This was good news coming
as it did at the opening of
National Music Week. How to
better the music situation in
the public schools was the
prime objective locally during
this period where attention is
focused strongly on music. The
drive to accumulate instru-
mentS for use in the schools
has brought some response.
instrumental instruction will
now pick up to measure what
is being done in the choral
way.
Gradually. a future audience
is being built up. It will be
less well learned in opera un-
less Mr.. Kearns' remarks are
needed. A start has been made
that must be followed by a
planned course devised to make
opera not only understandable
but desirable. The response OF
the adults during the opera
season here was not what was
expected. The young people
we're enthusiastic and next
time, If there be a next Time,
still more interest will be
manifested.
Just now, it is very doubt
full if the Metropolitan Opera
will come again next season,
