year of the Metropolitan's
latest performance of Masse-
nets "Werther" might suggest
that "Werther" isn't very good
opera. Such a notion over
estimates the Metropolitan.
"Werther" is actually quite a
telling piece.
Its strength. one must admit,
is certainly not in action. The
story, appropriated from
Goethe's doleful novel, "The
Sorrows of Young Werther,"
in other hands than Masse-
nets might have turned into
soap opera instead of the kind
it did, and it moves just about
as slowly. It's almost Act Three
before the drama really begins
to take hold. But MasSenet
was a much more potent
craftsman than most people
appreciate nowadays, and his
10th century version of the
eternal triangle is woven into
some surprisingly attractive
music.
Urania'S new recording,
emanating from the Opera
Comique with George Sebas-
tian conducting, is undoubted-
ly only a fair approximation
of the composers intent.
Charles Richard, as Werther.
perpetrates some things Jean
de Reszke, who sang the role
in the Nets first (1894 per-
formance, might not have
done, and Suzanne Juyols
Charlotte probably is pretty
far removed, both vocally and
dramatically, from the por-
trayal of Mary Garden or Far
rar. But the overall impress
sion, including the recorded
sound. is acceptable, and some
of the singing, such as Roger
Bourdin's Albert, is as good as
one could ask.
'Mignon' Needs Singers
"Mignon," adapted from an
other melancholy Goethe
novel, wilhelm Meister." but
without the unhappy ending,
can do somewhat better with
merely modest dramatic tai
ents, but it needs spectacular
singers. Those in London'S
newly released recording fall
short Of doing Thomas full
justice. Genevieve Moizan's
voice seems too mature for the
role of Mignon. and Libero de
Lucas singing in more than
one place is far from good. A
tendency to shrillness-inher-
ent in either the voices or the
recording - doesn't augment
ones pleasure, and neither do
some inept microphoning and
tape SpliceS. A lively pace is
maintained by Sebastian, who
again conducts, this time in
Brussels, and the orchestral
sound is we'll conveyed, though.
If one does not demand a
great degree of senSuousnesS
in the leading roles-which
Vasco Campagnano's Des
Grieux and Clara Petrella's
Manon certainly do not supply
-Cetra- a-Capitol'S new issue of
"Manon Lescaut" may merit a
place on the shelf beside DO
heme" and the other Puccini
staples. This is another of
those idiomatic. energetic per-
formances by the Italian ra-
dio forces, quite we'll recorded
although the sound as trans
ferred by Capitol is a bit
bright and hard and may
therefore need a bit of knob
twisting. Personally I would
prefer a tenor, at least, who
didn't shout SO much, but
then, maybe he had to in
order to be heard. These
Italians are enthusiastic.

More durable. I suspect, is

Turin and easily the best of

Associated Press Foreign CORRESPONDENT
HONG KONG, Nov. THE
United States has begun a strong
campaign to persuade the French
to continue fighting their bitter,
ironic war in Indo- China.
Vice President Richard Nixon
carried the fight into the open
this week in Indo-China with a
series of carefully considered
public statements designed to
chill fresh demands in Paris for
a negotiated truce.
From the American view, the
biggest single problem in Asia
now is to keep the long growing
French disilluSionment with the
seven-year campaign from ex-
ploding into an indefinite Ko-
rean-type truce.
Worried American and other
foreign officials in Indo-C China
say an armistice without victory
inevitably would allow the Com
munists to capture all three AS
sociated States by political
means. This. they add, would ex-
pose all of the rich and vital
Southeast Asia to q Red threat
that $4,000 French and allied
troops have died to prevent.
Nixon Behaves Like Veteran.
Mr.. Nixon, a politician turned
diplomat, walked into an in
credibly complex situation and
handled himself like a veteran.
Some French observers say
his statements may help stiffen
a resolve to continue the bloody
jungle and mountain campaign.
Mr.. Nixon was given a thor
ough bird's-eye view of the war.
Despite his speeches of conf
dence, the situation is only
partly reassuring militarily and
Is discouraging politically to the
West.
These are some of the main
points of the Sitaution:
The French became disgusted
with the heavy human and eco
nomic toll lc1g ago. The Korean
truce spurred demands for a
similar Indo-China settlement
which are becoming louder in
the French Assembly.
Korea is divided by clearly
defined battle line and definite
political boundary. Indo-China's
guerilla war has no real battle
lines and the Communicated
Wet Mini hold about 80 per
cent of the most populous coun-
try, Wet Nam. with positions
around and behind the French.
No Top Leadership.
Even if an armlstice could
establish boundaries for this
tangled situation. the anti
Communist governments have
nobody to counteract the power
full personal appeal of Ho Chi
Mini, the Moscow-trained Wet
Mimi leader. The highest esti-
mate is the Bao Dai, the clever,
but somewhat indolent state
leader of Wet Nam, has support
from only 20 per cent of the
people.
So diplomatic officials agree
that a truce now would deliver
Indo-China politically to Ho.
This explains Mr.. Nixon's
bluntest statement, made to
French leaders at an elaborate
