Michigan. stating that "Some one
is lying" said in a New Haven
speech last night that he expects
the Investigations subcommittee
to launch such full-scale in
vestigation Tuesday.
Almost simultaneously Mr..
Stevens fired of a telegram to
the Senator saying he was as
founded" to receive a wire from
him suggesting that you never
urged the Army to confer on
David Schine a direct commits

after his induction as a private. +"
The secretary added that you

former subcommittee consultant,

and sought special treatment
after he was drafted.
Mr.. Stevens added that "even
you at times asked special as

avoiding any possibility of over

Correspondence Disclosed.
There were these other devel-
opments in the fast breaking
intense feud:
l. The Senator released a let
ter he wrote Mr.. Stevens last
December % saying he had an
"unbreakable rule" that neither
he nor anyone speaking for him

gram in answer to the Demo-
cratic charges that the Eisen-
hover administration has en-
braced "McCarthyism" in hopes
of winning this years congress
sional elections.
Without specific mention of
the Wisconsin Republican, Mr..
Nixon declared:
1.-The President and this adj
ministration. the responsible
leadership in the Republican
Party, insist that procedures
for dealing with the threat of
communism in the United States
must be fair and proper"
The only time Mr.. Nixon
mentioned Senator McCarthy'S
name was in the outset of his
speech when he said he had been
advised by some to ATTACK
Mccarthy"
He's Been Fair, Mccarthy Says.
While leaving no doubt in his
radio and television remarks that
he was referring to the Wisconsin
Senator, Mr.. Nixon refused to
comment on that after his broad
cast.
Wherever the shoe fits-the
speech speaks for ITSELF" Mr..
Nixon said
Senator Mccarthy, who has
been carrying on a raging con-
troversy with the Amy and the
administration. was in Wisconsin
for a speech of his own when
Mr.. Nixon went on the air.
Asked for comment on what
Mr.. Nixon had to say, Senator
Mccarthy at first told reporters
he didn't know of any instance
where there hadn't been fair
play in his Investigations. Then
he added, "Oh. skip that. I
have no comment at all"
But in winding up a speech in
Manitowoc, Wis, Senator Nc
Carthy flung a challenge anew

investigative tactics.

Mr.. Nixon devoted a substan-

cast to the raging Mccarthy
controversy with the major
emphasis of his remarks on
the Eisenhower administrations
stand for fair play.

He said these principles have

THE BIG BLOWOUT: Stereo-
phonic sound, the earful that
goes with CinemaScope, is big in
other ways than volume. When it
goes on the blink, it goes bigger
than anything theaters ever
knew.
The Capital Theater found this
out night before last when it
went blank for an hour and five
minutes. There is a lot of cleo
trical linkage in a system this
expansive and it took long time
to discover that a pre-amplif1er
supplying something or-o t h r
was at fault. The Short-circuit
blew 40 fuses at one time, which
should give you another idea Of
the amazing size of this thing.
Not knowing what is likely to
go wrong with equipment this
new, theaters do not know what
spares to carry. This put the
Capitol in quite a spot until one

recalled the Virginia Theater.

changes of stubs for the tickets
to the neighboring Palace Thea

were made.

1t turned out the baby-sitter
would be only too glad to do so.

Roberto Miranda's recital at
the Pan American Union last
night was a success. as far as
his efforts were concerned. But
the Hall of the Americas, for all
it's dignity and beauty. has
limitations as a concert hall. It
causes the singing voice to lose
definition and the piano tone to
blur. Consequently. the recital of
the young Brazilian tenor was
not as enjoyable as it should have
been.
Miranda sings like a musician.
His phrasing is clear and intel
ligent, and his respect for the
music is apparent in every
phrase. There is none Of the
forcing Of prominent tones that
many a better known singer
INDUCES in, nor is there any
tightening in his voice as he
ascendS to the top. Only in his
lowest register could one wish
for a richer quality and better
control.
Two groups Of familiar songs
and arias preceded the intermis-
sion, and here Mr.. Miranda
shows himself competent in
diverse styles and in five Ian
guages. If his Mozart was a bit
heavy, we can attribute it to his
belated realization that the
acoustics were against him. The
Hugo Wolf was a model of con-
centrated drama. and Mr.. Mi
randa made even the old-fash-
Toned music of Mehul sound
attractive.
The last group, composed of
songs by five Brazilian COM
posers, gave us Mr.. Miranda at
his best. Rich in folk idioms.
free in expression, and sophisti-
Gated in harmonic dress. the
group was a great improvement
over the usual fare. One could
wish that more of our estab-
lished artists knew and would
use the Brazilian material.
Rosette Amaral Miranda pro-
vided tasteful Accomplishments,
marred only by an occasional
overuSe of the pedal and an un-
called-for degree of energy. The
