Music Review
By Dorothy Anderson

By Dorothy Anderson
 The concert series of Alaska Music Trails was closed Tues day evening, April IA, 1853, at the USO Aud ditorium with a recital by Raymond Manton. young San Francisco tenor, who was assisted by Don Jones at the piano.
 Possessing a mellow, res onant tenor voice, MT. Manton also revealed dramatic possi- bilities, notable particularly in twu operatic arirs, "Le Reve" from "Manon" and Federicos S
 Lamento" from 'L'Arlesi- anal. Throughout his recital he displayed a warm stage presence, completely dispel- ling a formal stylized perfor. nance. and occasionally com mented on the programmed numbers to a responsive aud fence. MT. Manton's remark ably good singing enrnciation well demonstrates one of the reasons for his successful radio fngagemente.
 An interesting group of six German art songs from Schu- mann's "Dichterliebe" were programmed by the tenor, and his fluid vocal control high lighted a sensitive interpreta- tion of this group, which is based on the poems of Heine. The able complement of his accompanist, Don Jones, was especially apparent in these lieder songs with their remarkable balance between voice and piano.
 Outstanding in the recital was Raymond Manton's pre- sentation of a group of French songs by Duparc, Lalo and Poulenc, and a lyrical, dra- matic interpretation of "A Dream" by Gl ieg.
 Two familiar favorites, Because" and You Are My Hearts Delight" were given as encores by Raymond Man. ton, and a final encore brought a smiling tenor back to drama tically end the program with
 Questa Quella", from Rig |oletto''.

Wildlife Violation Convictions Show Marked Increase

The greatest number of con- victions for game law violations ever reported for any one year by game management agents of the Fish and Wildlife Service was recently announced by Secre- tary of the Interior Douglas Me Kay.
 A record total of 6,225 convic- tions during the fiscal year 1853 reveals an increase of 1,296 over the 1929 convictions reported for fiscal year 1852. Jail sentences imposed totaled 268 days, as com pared with 306 last year.
 The increase in apprehensions and convictions, over previous years, is due chiefly to the acti- vlties of larger Fish and Wild life Service enforcement staff. The expansion was made possible. by congressional action which autho- rlzed an increase from 10 percent to 15 percent in expenditure of Federal duck stamp" funds for law enforcement. Since Public

Senator Thye, Republican, of
Minnesota today predicted the
Post Office Department will can
Gel its now-Suspended fraud order
denying the use of the mails to

additive. AD-X2.
Senator Thye is chairman of
the Senate Small Business Com
mittee which has held hearings
in the controversy over AD-X2.
He asked Postmaster General
Summerfield last week for a full
explanation of why the fraud
order was issued in the first
place. The order, put out last
February, was temporarily sus-
pended March 2 at the request of
Secretary of Commerce Weeks.
The Bureau of Standards, after
several tests. labeled AD-X2 as
useless and rejected the claims Of
it's manufacturer, Jess M. Ritchie
of Oakland. Calf, that it can
double the life of lead-acid elec-
trio storage batteries.
The Post Office Department
ran its own tests last winter
and then issued the fraud order.
The order made it illegal for
Mr.. Ritchie to use the mails for
shipping the product or adver-
tising it.
Senator Thye said he had
every expectation" the order
would be Cancelled.
He awaited a report today
from two committee staff men,
bers he sent to the New London
(Conn) Navy submarine base
Tuesday. Their mission was to
make f1rst-hand study of testi-
mony taken by the committee
that AD-X2 has had beneficial
effects on submarine batteries.
A full report of results OBJ
tanned so far is expected to reach
Washington next week from
officers at the submarine base.
The officers, it was reported,
were unwilling to engage in full
scale tests under actual operat-
ing conditions until they de-
termined what effects. if any,
AD-X2 has on the tendency of
lead-acid batteries to create gas

Want Red China 10
Have Role in Truce
BY the AssocIated Press

Two Republican Senators
sought today to gain time for
more United States discussions
with South Korean President
Syngman Rhee by proposing that
Red China be made a party to
any Korean truce.
Senators Knowland, Repub-
lican, of California and H. Alex
ander Smith, Republican, of New
Jersey suggested that new efforts
be made to bring the Peiping
regime officially into any arm
1Stlce signing. United Nations
negotiations to date have been
conducted with the military COM
mander of the North Korean
and Chinese volunteer forces.
Chinese forces in Korea are
called volunteers and. China is
not officially a belligerent. All
negotiations have been with
North Korea, although spokes-
men for the Chinese peoples
volunteers" take part.
Senator Knowland, who has
supported Mr.. Rhee's demands
for prompt unification of Korea,
told the Senate yesterday that
the Chinese Communists, while
supplying men and guns to the
North Koreans, would not guar
Rntee any truce that was signed.
Attends White House Farley.
Senator Knowland, the acting
Senate Republican leader, late
yesterday attended top-level
White House conference at which
instructions repeatedly were pre-
pared for Gen. Mark Clark. the
allies Far East commander.
The meeting was called to con-
slider the Communists reply to
Gen. Clark that they are ready
to negotiate final details of an
armistice. Gen. Clark called on
Mr.. Rhee late last night in Seoul.
Others who met with Presi-
dent Eisenhower besides Senator
knowland were Secretary of
State Dulles. Undersecretary of
State Walter Bedell Smith, Sec
retary of Defense Wilson and
Gen. J. Lawton Collins. Army
chief of staff.
Sees U. S. ION Spot"
Backing up Senator Knowland,
Senator Smith said in an inter-
view he believes the raising of
this issue will give the United
States more time to continue
discussions with Mr.. Rhee, who
thus far has baked at accepting
allied truce proposals.
Il think the Communists have
put us on the spot by accepting
the terms laid down in the letter
to them from Gen. Clark, in
which he indicated he would
restrain the South Koreans if
they did not accept the truce"
Senator Smith said.
Il think we must exert every
effort to bring Rhee around to
our way of thinking and would
like to see our Government Off
cially raise the issue of bringing
the Chinese Communists Off
cially into the armistice picture"
Believes Reds Must Sign.
Senator Smith, who heads a
Senate Foreign Relations Far
Eastern subcommittee. said he
thinks an armistice signed for
the Communists by the Peoples
Republic of North) Korea and
the Chinese Peoples Volunteers
would be entirely ineffective"
Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican, Of Iowa. a Foreign Rela-
tions Committee member. said
he agrees that the Chinese
Peoples Volunteers was a fiction
to cover Red China's participa-
ton in the war.
But it is a fiction that has
been accepted in the previous
truce negotiations and I don't
see any way We now can force
the Chinese Communists into
joining in signing an armistice,"
Senator Hickenlooper said.

Bergman Triples As Redskin Ball Team Loses Opener

Port Clinton'S Redskin baseball
stars lost their opening game
Monday afternoon at the Athletic
Field when Willard's outstanding
pitcher, J. c. Miller, whitfield 1G
and walked only two.
Final score was 3 to l in favor
of Willard. Carl Fastzkie, Redskin
starting pitcher, struck out six
opponents, gave up one run and
one hit but issued six walks.
Losing pitcher was Bob Wood,
who relieved Fastzkie in the
sixth and ran into tough luck.
Wood struck out four, gave up
four hits and two runs.
Despite six errors by Port Clin-
ton, Willard was able to capitalize
on only one misplay and that
meant the game.
In the seventh inning, Willard
hit two singles off Woods deliv-
cry. The youngster then struck
out his opposing pitcher, Miller.
The next man up slapped a
ground ball which Wood failed to
handle and two runs crossed the
plate. Irked by his error, Wood
bore down and struck out the
side.
Port Clinton scored in the sixth
inning when Sam Mooney dou-
bled, stole third, and scored cas-
lily when Leroy Bergman tripled
to the wall of the stadium. Berg
man was held at third due to a
quick relay from the center field
er.
Coach Howard Jones' opening
lineup had Dick Branum at Sec
ond; Sam Mooney in center field;

SIMPSONS BATTING SPREE WINS
REGULAR JOB WITH INDIANS

AS the Cleveland Indians ap-
proach the conclusion of the 1858
spring training period, it begins to
appear that the most exciting de-
velopment of the past six weeks
lies in the possibility that in 1858
outfielder Harry Simpson may live
up to his minor league promise
and reward the patience and faith
of General Manager Hank Green
berg and Manager AL Lopez.
When the slender Georgian ar
rived at the Tribes early training
sessions at Daytona Beach, there
were IL outfielders on the Cleve-
land roster and some folks didn't
hesitate to predict that Simpson
might lose his regular outfield job
to any one of several outstanding
candidates.
But Harry didn't wait very long
to convince his competition and
Lopez that he wasn't going to give
up his job without a struggle. In
Cleveland's first exhibition game
against the New York Giants, he
hit single, two doubles and no
mer and then collected three HTS
the following afternoon agains,
the same club.
Since then, he's been one of the
hottest sluggers on the grapefruit
circuit, spraying long blows and
short hits against all of Cleve-
lands first 26 spring contests and
compiled a .429 batting mark on
"a hits in 56 times at bat. He
paced the club with eight homers
and 19 RIBS.
To confuse further opponents,
Simpson has been blasting his hits
to all fields which is the way he
used to hit when he compiled a
remarkable minor league mark at
San Diego in 1850. Harry offers
no particular explanation for his
fine hitting this spring other than
to point out that he is using d
lighter BATS ounces rather THAI
35-and taking his stance just a
little further back in the batter's
box.
There has never been much
doubt about Simpsons fielding
ability since he is very fast and
possesses good throwing arm.
Shortly after Simpson came to
Cleveland, Casey Stengel Labelled
him as the best fielding outfielder
in the American League.
However, Harry's work at the
plate in his first season at Clevc.
land in 1851 was most diSappoint-
ing following a sensational season
on the coast where he had hit 1928
and driven in 156 runs on 225 hits
that included Al doubles, l9
