Nehru 0Ks March
On Portugal Indian
Territory Of Goa
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW DELHI, India. Aug. 13.-5
Prime Minister Nehru gave the
green light today for a liberia
ton march" into the Portuguese
Indian territory Of Goa next
Sunday--provided the marchers
are Goans, not Indians. and pro-
vided the demonstrators main
tain traditional Indian non-vio-
1ence.
Addressing a meeting Of the
all-Indian newspaper editors
conference, Mr.. Nehru said he
thought his army could occupy
the disputed territory in "a trice"
but added. however, we do not
want to use the army and will
not"
The Premier added there could
be "only one ultimate fate for
Goa-merger with India"
Portugal Standing Firm.
Portugal so far has refused to
even discuss cession of her three
pockets of territory on midas
west coast. They total 1888
square miles and Goa is the larg-
est. The two disputing nations
agreed earlier this week to ask
six other governments to make
an on-the-spot investigation of
the Goan situation.
Leaders of the Goan National
Congress. headquartered in Bonn
bay. have ordered their pro-
Indian supporters to march UNI
armed into Goa Sunday in sup
port Of their demands for merger
Of the territory with India.
The Portuguese, contending
almost all of the 5000 Goans
prefer to remain under their con-
troll. say they will resist the in
vasion by all means possible.
Goa has about 1000 policemen
and less than 1000 Portuguese
troops.
Wants No Interference.
Mr.. Nehru did not specifically
cite the demonstration called
for Sunday but this meaning
was clear when he said. India
cannot prevent Goans from ex-
pressing their feelings about the
merger and cannot inter-
fere with Goans going" to the
Portuguese settlements.
II do not want any inter-
ference from non-Goans, civil
or military" he declared. adding:
1--WE will not stop Goans from
going. I just want them to re-
member our basic ideas of nom
violence and I do not want
them to give cause or excuse to
the other side to use violence"
Portuguese officials have ex-
pressed fears the marchers
would try to provoke violence to
give the Indian forces an excuse
to intervene.

trumpet. It's most unusual fea-
ture is its great variety Of tone
color, light or anguished, bitter
or gay. This ever-changing color
OF voice suits very well Miss
Maynor's intensely personal style
Of projecting each song or aria.
1t is a cause of regret to many
listeners that Negro singers in
variably feel that q group of
Spirituals is expected at the end
of any recital, no matter how
out of place with what has gone
before. Miss Maynor, too, ended
with two 3pirituals, but with
what a difference! She discarded
the conventional "art-Song'
piano accomplishments, and sang
her Spirituals completely alone,
embroidering the poignant melo-
dies with the most expressive
and intimate ornaments and
melismas. Far from encore
trif1eS, the Spirituals were the
elimination of her singing.

Whatever other artists may
think about summertime, for
Dorothy Maynor it is, like every
other season of the year, a time
to make music. If it was the
rain threatening the commence
ment of her recital with Howard
Mitchell and the National SYM
phony last night at the Carter
Barron Amphitheater that was
the cause of the small audience,
music lovers have today a valid
grievance against the. weather.
1t was raining hard at inter-
mission, and the prospect Of
more music was slight. yet there
were few who did not wait gladly
for the possibility of hearing
more of Dorothy Maynor.
She sang music in every style
suitable for an open air concert,
and each style in turn seemed
the one miraculouSly suited to
her voice and temperament. The
purity and agility of Bach and
Handel, the decadent, powerful
remoantic passion of Hear Ye.

dramatic outpourings of Villa

Business Continues
Optimistic Despite
Frustrating Seibacks
By Walter Breede. j.
Business Writer

NEW YORK, July 24.-Rising
stock prices provided fresh am
munition this week for those
who contend business generally
is headed up. despite frustrating
setbacks.
Retail trade topped the vol
ume Of a year ago; electric pow
er output showed q marked rise;
construction activity continued
to set new records. An improve
ment was reported In furniture
sales.
There was further evidence,
however. Of glutted markets for
many consumer. goods. Manu-
facturers we're still plagued with
inventory problems.
Auto makers indicated they
would revert to the prewar Gus
tom Of shutting down while get
ting ready for production of next
years models. Model change
overs used to be a production
problem, but now the problem is
one Of sales. Automobile output
(partly because Of q strike at
Chrysler) was the lowest for any
non-holiday week this year.
Steel operations limped along
at Sc per cent Of capacity. Pro-
ducers spoke hopefully Of a pick
up in September but said Au-
gust output would show little
change.
