M adsen Recalls Struggle For Life hn Bering Sea

A desperate fight for life a. gainst the relentless Boring Sea was told members of the Rotary Club Tuesday by one of the survivors of a 1913 ship wreck.
 Charles Madsen, well-known big game and outtitter, and five men spent six days adrift in a small dory without food or water after Madsen's trad ing schooner the Wasp foun- dered in heavy seas. The tape recording of the adventure is a part of a forthcoming book by Madsen.
 Madsen named this chapter of his book A Battle For Life. In August of 1913, Madsen, Frank Waskey, a Mir. Evans, an engineer named Johnson and two Eskimo hunters left Nome for a voyage to various

Man Dr0Wns After Poor Leap

The turbulent waters of Shalikof Strait claimed a. mother victim last week when 3 cannery worker from the barge Valkyra attempted to leap from one fishing vessel to another.
 Doime s. Maxi, Paulsbo, Washington, was aboard a small vessel being lowed by the barge. He tried to jump from the vessel to another which was also being lowed. There was no communication between the barge and the two smaller vessels and ap- proximately two hours elapsed before a search could be made.
 A Kodiak Coast Guard PBY took off from the local base at 7:21 am June 13 upon receiv- ing orders from Comsar 2. The plane and the three vessels made a circular search in the

Shortly after leaving the Wasp sprung a leak, it had earlier been squeezed" inI the Arctic ice pack, an Arctic stoom struck and after several desparate hours of trying to plug the leak and manning the pumps the men were forced to abandon ship and take to the dory.
 In boarding the dory Evans slipped and hung onto the painter (rope). The heavy seas and overloaded boat made it impossible to take him a. board. Madsen ordered the Eskimos to heave some of the stuff overheard. In their panic the Eskimos threw everything away including the compass. Evans was eventually saved. Earlier a huge wave, the one that finally finished the Wasp, took the barrel of drink ing water overheard.
 The ordeal for the six men then began. They were with out food, water, compass and had only a vague idea of their position, Madsan said.
 Prior to abandoning the Wasp they were heading for Nunivak Island. The storm continued for days. Waves dwarfed the small dory and the men began to suffer from thirst.
 At the end of the fourth day Madsen spotted a small strip of land. He debated for seve- ral minutes before telling the others for fear they would jump up in joy and swamp the boat.
 They finally reached the land to find it a bar. The main- land was still several miles distant. On finally reaching shore they experienced diff culty in getting across a! slough. They were forced to return to the dory and remain over night.
 The next morning they found three Eskimo hunters on the beach. After a long trip by kyak and hiking over- land they reached St. Michael and finally returned to Nome.
 Other recordings of Mad sens experiences at trading and hunting in the Arctic have been heard by the club.

SoighHits $398, ,357 Revenue
Claim in Tax Court AppeoI

Fred Saigh, jr., former owner
of the st. Louis Cardinals base
ball team, has asked the United
States Tax Court to overrule a
Government claim that he and
his wife owe $398.357 in back
income taxes and penalties.
The baseball club also appealed
a tax claim of $220,511, and the
Rochester Red Wings, a farm
club of the Cardinals, appealed
a claim of $4,363.
The Internal Revenue Service
claims the Saighs and the base
ball clubs claimed improper de-
| ductionS and failed to report all
their income.
Got 15-MOnth Sentence.
The tax claims already have
led to a 15-month prison SEN
tence for Saigh. But he carried
the civil dispute to the United
| OldCCo ia NOuIG.
His appeal showed that the
| Government sought to collect
from him and Mrs. Saigh $780,
OCT for 1948, 1949 and 1850, and
$118,290 from Saigh alone for
the years 1914 to 1947.
Internal Revenue said Saigh
and his wife reported net income
of $17,912 instead of a correct
$127,380 for 1913; s$29,287 in
stead of $76.177 in 1949, and
$66,119 instead of $190,526 in
1850.
Dividends Are Involved.
The Government charged
Saigh failed to report numerous
dividends and reported numer-
Gus improper deductions.
The ball club itself, the Gov
ernment said, claimed a $3,617
transportation expense for an
! automobile which actually be-
longed to an officer of the club.
Internal Revenue also chal-
lenged the value of passes which
the ball club gave away.
Records at United States Tax
Court indicated that the club
claimed as a business expense
the value Of season passes dis
tributed to clergymen, Boy
Scouts and others. The club, in
evaluating the passes, figured

Metropolitan Director Within His Rights
In Asking Singer to Limit Her Work
By Alice Eversmon

of popular music or the role
they play in bringing the sun
shine of music into every
phase of living.
Employed Works
The musical works Of any
of the composers Miss Traubel
mentions need no champion
ship. They have already
brought their creators renown
and, supposedly. a financial re-
turn. But there are many
American composers of sym
phonic works who cannot get
a hearing. For instance, no
work by Elliott Carter, to our
knowledge, has been played
here. Last week Mr.. Carter
won the Koussevitzky Music
Foundation Award for his
string quartet in Liege. Bel
gium. He has written a SYM
phony and a few other or
cheStral works.
Howard Mitchell, conductor
of the National Symphony. has
always been a protagonist of
American music. Yet there re-
main many American COM
poSers whose works have not
graced his programs. His en-
dorSement of Miss Traubel's
stand, however, was unquali-
fled and the idea was given
that she would appear. if her
time permitted. as soloist with
the National Symphony in the
songs she favorS.
It's a Long Rood
The preparation of a singer
to assume the roles Of any
of the Wagnerian characters,
or to sing in grand opera at
all, is strenuous. We have
very few native singers who
can measure up to the de-
mands. Miss Traubel was
doubtful of her own ability, at
one time. when she would not
accept the first Metropolitan
contract offered her. She
studied hard until she felt she
was ready. She had a notable
career and held her own with
European celebrities. Naturally
she has every right to choose
an easier way to sustain her
fame.
Mr.. Bing cannot be taken to
account, however, for protect
ing the status of his organiza-
tion. AS critical as one may
be of some of the performances
heard at the Met, and by its
singers, it is an institution that
should be preserved. Miss
Traubel's detection will not
stir other American singers to
strive for inclusion in its ros-
ter. On second thought, per-
haps it will.

News of Music

The recently announced ex-
cursion of Helen Traubel,
Wagnerian soprano of the
( Metropolitan Opera, into night
club singing, may bring re-
percussions from the field she
{ is now invading. Heretofore
the line dividing grand opera
and popular music has been
sharply defined with specially
trained singers appearing sue
cessfully in each department.
Whether she, as an "artist of
Integrity who refuses to COM
promise her standards" will
be able to add anything to a
style of music and perform
ance already well established
could be questioned by those
operating happily and with
success in this field,
The whole story would be of
little consequence were it not
Tor her defiant rebuff of Ru-
dolf Bing, the Nets managing
director, and the entrance of
the National Symphony Or
cheStra into the controversy.
Mr.. Bing had every right, first,
to demand to know whether
she would sign the contract
for Metropolitan appearances
sent her months ago, and, Sec
ondly, that she refrain from
appearing in "a night club in
the New York area before, your
appearances at the Metropoli-
tan during the season and for
ut least one month afterward."
These are procedures which
any skillful manager would
take.
Miss Traubel yearns to sing
the songs of Rodgers, Kern,
GerShwin, Berlin and others.
She calls them folk songs.
She says: II am glad to be
able to sing them and to bring
them my training and equip
ment as a singer" And she
considers it "snobbery" to
claim that night-club artistry
and that found at the Met
are not close to synonymous.
Well. it is all very confus-
ing. For years, Americans
have been studying hard,
working hard, and spending
untold amounts of money to
see that the public recognizes
the difference between popular
music and that of the great
claSSicists, in favor of the lat
ter. Children, even at the pre-
school period, are being in
doctrinated with the theory
that what they hear from a
symphony, Metropolitan Opera
singer or any renowned ar
tist comes from the realm
Of great music. All of this in
