We are told by The Star on April
IA of the formation of local civic
opera company which will present as
its first production double bill, to
include ''The Medium" and THE Tele-
phone" at Roosevelt High school Audi
torium on May IL. IL and 13.
The Star goes on to say that the
venture IS sponsored by the D. c. Rec
reation Department. and that DR..
Frederick Fall "one-time conductor
at the Volksopera in Vienna is to
be musical director. The operas are to
be part of an annual Spring Arts Fes-
tival this year So far, so good, but
the story ends here. Who are the sing
ers? Is the opera production in Eng
lish? Is there an orchestra, or is this
similar to the many opera, workshop
productions being put on by our major
universities and music conServatories?
None OF these questions are answered,
we are given only the barest bones of
detail.

we are also mindful Of the fact that
Washington has long lacked q local
opera company Of any kind-f it ever
had one. Yet every one knows that any
European city Of similar size-let alone
world capital without an opera
company is unheard of. It is shameful
that the Nations Capital, In the worlds
richest nation-located in metropoli-
tan area of approximately 100000
people doesn't have a resident opera
company.
In this cold-war period Of the atom
and hydrogen bombs, and the cruelty
and cunning Of the Communist nations.
it may be difficult to think about clll-
ture, but it is well worth the time and
effort required. This kind Of program.
if properly supported by the commu-
nifty in it's formative period, pays rich
dividends in spiritual satisfaction. 1t
can also give the lie to the Communist
myth that Americans are materialistic
and lack any interest in the finer things
of life.

@. O.P. Concern for JobIess
Stressed in Talk by Humphrey

with the way he said the Demo-
Gratis met it 20 years ago.
1T was clear that the Govern
ment's policies during all the
1930s were wrong and worked
badly" he said. They were de-
signed to solve unemployment;
yet there were still 9 million un-
employed in 1889. These unem-
ployed only got back to work
after war broke out in Europe.
Il know of no one who thinks
that war is the right way to cure
unemployment" =
Mr.. Humphrey said the Eisen-
hover administration, on the
other hand, has proceeded on
the premise that .jobs are cre-
ated-and only honestly created
in our free competitive price
economy-by people using their
money to expand existing busi-
nesses or start new businesses in
the hope Of making a profit"
The administration has freed
the economy of many Govern
ment controls. he said. in an
effort to encourage that job
producing business expansion.

President Of Liberia
Asks Stronger Voice
For Small Nations

President William v. S. Tub
man of Liberia today appealed
for q greater voice in world af-
fairs for the small nations. He
also urged that God and religion
be given a more important place.
The visitor addressed the Joint
Committee of Press, Radio and
Television Correspondents and
News Photographers at a lunch
con at the Sheraton Carlton Ho-
tel, 923 Sixteenth street NV.
President Tubman said: There
are questions that the big pow
ers seem to feel are only theirs
for solution. I seem to hold a
different view. If the smaller
nations that are in the majority
were given an opportunity to ex-
press themselves they might be
able to advance some suggestions
that may be helpful.
But the United States, Great

By Gornett D. Homer

President Eisenhower and his
associates are paying little at
tention to criticism heard in
washington about the amount
OF time he spends away from
the White House.
Since the Presidents return
from Denver, the White House
inner circle has become aware
of complaints about the length
of the summers work and play"
vacation. The presidential ad-
visers believe, however, that
such talk is pretty much local
lied in Washington, and that
most Of the people in others
parts Of the country are glad
to see Gen. Eisenhower get away
from the Capital as much as
possible.
These associates point to ia
vorable comment in Western and
mid Western newspapers, es-
pecially. about the fact that the
President spent eight weeks on
the other side Of the Mississippi
River this summer and early
fall.
Good for President.
They feel. too, that it is good
/, for the President himself to get
out of Washington to learn first
hand what is going on in other
parts Of the country.
The Presidents aides insist he
Is actually able to get more work
done when he is away from the
White House than when he is
here. They say he has. more
time to think about the really
big problems confronting the
Nation.
This, they explain. is SO be-
cause 1t is much easier to say

callers, 1t is contended.

clared: Finally, not attempt
ing to be critical or skeptical,
but in the interest of the pres
ervation of the human race and
of our apparently endless search
for peace, ! believe it must be
stated that in the conduct of our
national and international af-
fairs and deliberations today,
there seems to be lacking a prop

broadest and most compre-
hensiye sense, without regard
to sect or dogma-be represented
even if unofficially at national
and international high level
councils in a more effective
capacity"

clared.
He cited the fact that Liberia
patterned its constitution and

United States, mentioned the
work of American churches in
his country and recalled Liberia

Be Generous
One of the most appealing traits
of most ANIMALS is their renewed
effort to bloom more freely after
being cut. So be generous with
your flowers. Take that gabby

about you, but if it doesn't, your
plants viii have bigger and better
blooms for the cutting. You are sure
to profit, one way or the other.
Don't forget to plant some Cos

of the best background flowers of
all. They grow from 212 to 5 feet
tall, being the tallest of all ANIMALS
with the exception of the sunflower,
which should be planted in the pig
pasture, not in flower garden.
