Hall Says Election
Hinges on Prosperity
And Record on Reds
sy the As.oeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 12.-Leon-
ard w. Hall, chairman of the
Republican National Committee,
said today the results of Mo-
vember's elections will hinge on
two issues-...how we insured
prosperity and how We met the
Communist threat"
Continued Republican control
of Congress is at stake this year,
and Mr.. Hall said "the voters
will turn away from any party
or any man who does not face
both issues squarely. frankly and
unashamed of the record"
Calls Economy Sound.
''I say to you the Republican
Party is the only political or
ganization in this country that
has consistently recognized the
menace of communism in its
proper scope-worldWide," Mr..
Hall said in remarks prepared
for. a luncheon meeting of the
Women's National Republican
Club.
"You have an administration
which has the will, demonstrated
by performance. to keep the
initiative we have seized from
the global Communist con-
Spiracy."
Mr.. Hall said yesterday he ex-
poets President Eisenhower to
be a candidate for reelection in
1856. II certainly think So" he
replied to a question on a radio
television program, without
celebrating. The President has
repeatedly declined to discuss
his plans for 1856.
Today, the Republican chair
man said that Communists in
this country are a segment of
the larger problem, but that the
weapons needed to fight them
are the same as those which
must be employed on the global
front: "AwareneSS, courage and
the support of the people"
Menace of Communism.
Mr.. Hall maintained that the
Nations economy is sound and
prosperous and said "profeS-
Sional mourners (and oracleS
of despair -. are trying to talk
us into depression for their
selfish political gain"
He continued:
I'VE are opening up an era OF
security, of prosperity with
peace-not in the zig-zag, crisis
to-crisis manner of the past
generation-but in a long pull
program made possible by en-
lightened leadership.
ITO succeed at this noble OBJ
jective we require a team. and
the Congress is a vital element
of our team. Failure to produce
Republican majorities in this
crucial year would be to barely
glimpse this new era, then
murder it in infancy"

public money by person charged
with the collection, receipt or
safekeeping of such money is a
pr1ma facie evidence of the en-
bezzlement thereof"
OF the drugs and lumber al
legedly obtained for his personal
use, Mr.. Beall said, II never
heard of either of these items. F."
He declared many city en-
ployes of the city bought drugs
through the hospital and that
he had done so because of a
broken hip suffered in an auto
mobile accident.
He had purchased several
hundred. no. several thousand -
dollars worth, he said, but de-
clared he thought the matter
had been entirely cleared up. He
said he would call Portsmouth
tonight in an effort to clear up
those two items.
Investigation Called OFF.
In reference to the sixth find
ing that $654 was missing from
the hospital safe, Mr.. Beall said
three days receipts had been
left there. Someone, he said, had
taken one days receipts from
the bottom of the stack of money
He said he had not been near
the hospital at that time. Mr.
Beall added that he had called
off an investigation because OF
the disturbance among employees
who were being questioned and
frightened with threats of finger
printing.
- He told the police chief, he
said. that everything had beer
taken care of and explained that
he meant it had been taken care
of by insurance.
After the shortage was discov-
cred, Mr.. Beall said, a new syS-
tenn was established under which
receipts were taken to the city
hall daily.
Mr. Beall declared there hao
been disappearances of bigger
amounts in the first year he was
in Portsmouth, but that they
were not as frequent. "Stuff gets
lost" he added

Bishop She'll 5 Aides
Report 81 Backing
For Mccarthy Talk
BY the Assoeiuted Press

CHICAGO, April 12.-Aides to
the Most Rev. Bernard j. She'll,
Roman Catholic auxiliary Bishop
of Chicago, said today response
to his criticism of Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin has been 9 to in the bishops
favor.
Bishop Shell called Senator
Mccarthy ''phony" anti-C Com
munist and asserted his tactics
undermined democracy. He made
the statements in a speech Fri
day before the International Ed
ucational Conference of the CIO
United Auto Workers.
Bishop Shells assistants at st.
Andrew Catholic Church, of
which he is pastor, and at
Catholic Youth Organization
headquarters. estimated the re-
action. Bishop She'll founded
and now heads the CYO.
The aides said some 500 tele-
grams have poured in and were
still coming since the Friday
speech. Telephone calls and spe-
cial delivery mail also was heav-
lily in favor of the bishops
speech, they said.
UAW-CIO conference head
quarters said yesterday about 40
kilograms were received there,
almost all favorable to Bishop
She'll.
The radio station which car
ried Bishop Shells address twice
on Friday said its reaction was
running 20 to / in favor of the
bishop.
Jerry Keefe, manager of
WFJL, an FM station, said re-
sponse was running mostly to
mail and telephone calls. The
address was carried at the time
of delivery Friday morning. A
recording of it was broadcast
Friday night. The station was
the only one in the area to
broadcast the speech.

ice last year.
He did not elaborate on this
figure, and Mr.. Brownell made
no direct comment on it.
"You don't prove in court that
a man is a Communist before
you dismiss him." the Attorney
General said. You just go
ahead and get rid of him. Many
of these people are not Com
munists and are not disloyal and
no unworthy motives should be
imputed to them. Many of them
for personal habits which might
make them subject to blackmail
are just not suitable for Gov

Editor Here 10 Seek
Support in Drive for
Recall Of Mccarthy

Leroy Gore, the Wisconsin edi-
tor whose Joe Must Go" club
hopes to generate sufficient steam
to GUST Senator Mccarthy. Re-
publican. of Wisconsin, from his
Senate seat. said today he thinks
his campaign "has been blown
up and magnified little more
than it warrants"
But, he said he's working hard
at it and hopes it will succeed
in bringing about the recall of
the States junior Senator.
Visiting Washington.
Mr.. Gore, editor of the Sauk-
Prairie Star in Sauk City. is in
town to visit friends, some of
them on Capitol Hill. in connec-
ton with the drive to get 403, 900
signatures on a recall petition.
He said he's received "a very
warm hearted reception" in
Washington.
The campaign. he said. is "go-
ing very well" and is picking
up after a slump a couple of
weeks ago."
He said about 1876 900 sigma
| lures have been received. and
financial contributions total
about $4,000.
Mr.. Gore, 50-year- old veteran
of 80 years of Wisconsin news
papering. said he believes the
people of Wisconsin "have
changed their minds about Joe" I"
Once a staunch friend and sup
porter of the Senator, he now is
sure Joe will co.
Deadline is May II.
At the moment there's a May
II deadline on the petition. Mr.
Gore noted, however, that Wis
consin law provides only that
the last signature recorded must
be dated no more than 60 days
after the first. He said he thinks
now he may drop the first few
signatures received in order to
start, the official date about
week after his editorial. Wis
conSin Doesn't Have to Wait
-Four Long Years" touched off
the recall campaign.
When Mr.. Gore returns home
tomorrow he plans to stump the
State, particularly in the dairy
ing counties. Response from in
dustrial areas has been fine SO
far, he says, but he feels the
petition should be balanced with
signatures of dairy farmers who
''are pretty well fed up with
that guy, because he hasn't done
anything for them"

the inquirer is the extremely
high level Of musicianship and

Army Band Seen as Prisoner

Army Band does little to take

parently Of no great interest to

Of freedom" and with an endless
amount of verbiage to dilute
what is supposed to be a popular
band concert. Ten of these Joint
recitals have taken place this
season. and the advantage to
the band or to lovers of band
music is not at all clear.

symphony Hindemith wrote
especially for this band, and
Sousa's "Stars and Stripes" two

that showed how entertaining

Carol Brice has something
that is found only a few times
in a generation-a voice Of true
contralto quality in every
respect. There are plenty of
singers who can develop the
right range and whose voices
can acquire the richness and
the power. But only occasionally
there comes along a Schumann-
Heink, an Anderson, a Terrier.
or a Brice who has these quail
ties in the abundance that only
the genuine article can boast.
In most respects. Miss Brice's
program last night was carefully
selected to suit the rather special
requirements and skills of such
a voice.
The broad lines of VOLTS
"Gesegnet Sci, "Liebe mir i'm
Busen zendet elmer Brand" and
"Schweig einmal still" are of the
right proportions for Miss Bruce's
generous voice. which glories in
the noble, the intense. or the
broadly humorous.
Beethoven's great scene and
aria. "Ah! Perfido!" is on the
broad. dramatic plane that
matches her temperament and
her resources. The Brazilian
folksong settings of Ernani
Braga. too. seemed Just right for
the defined. clearcut levels Of
her singing. The religious ecstasy
Of ritual song, the happy prattle
of a child's round-song, the in
fictitious abandon of singing la
borers. gave her a chance for
wildly colored and highly con-
strasted moods.
Often one Of the limitations Of
a genuine contralto is its very
size and resulting lack of fiexi-
bility. Though her legato lines
were velvety and her English was
projected with microscopic clar-
ity. the songs of Handel and
Arnold which opened Miss
Brice's program were hardly the
best choice for her robust voice.
Camille Nickerson and Thomas
Kerr. members Of Howard Uni
versity's music faculty, were ar
rangers Of two Of the spirituals
that closed the program. The
skill of their versions was re-
warded by long and appreciative
applause from the audience.
