United States.
Miss Krahn's voice is rather
unusual. So long as the tone is
enforced. it is of pleasing. light
quality. but as soon as any
amount of tension is applied. it
develops a strident edge. This,
combined with a strange sort of
Ivibrato and a highly stylized in
Iterpretive art, makes it difficult
to feel at ease with q full evening
lof music by the singer.
The excellent Schumann group
in the first half of the program,
which was devoted to art songs
and lieder from the standard
repertoire, found Miss Krahn
lat her best. In these songs she
was relaxed and natural, in
strong contrast to the artificially
Ichiseled Mozart which preceded
them.
After the intermission, the
singer turned her attention to
songs by Latin American COM
|posers, among the most impress
|sive of which were those by her
compatriots, Pedro H. Allende
and Carlos Morla Lynch.
Also presented was a group of
three songs by Miss Krahn's
competent accompanist, Paul
Sargent. These proved to be in
nocuous trifles, more appropriate
perhaps as encores than in a
featured spot in the program.
The recital was offered under
the sponsorship of &he Repre-
sentative of Chile on the Coun-
Gil of the Organization of
American States and Sonora de
Sepulveda.

Move Pushed
To Bar Strike
On Airline
By the Associated Press

The Government sought today
to get the International Associa-
ton Of Machinists to call of q
strike set for midnight Thursday
among 1900 ground personnel OF
Eastern Air Lines.
The union so far has not COM
piled with the request made last
Thursday by the National Medi-
alton Board to cancel strike plans
while the board tries to help ar
range a settlement with Eastern
A board spokesman said the
agency expects both parties to
preserve the status quo" while
the Government is seeking q
solution. This indicated the
board intended to insist again at
the meeting today that the
strike be cancelled. Both the
union and Eastern agreed in ad-
vance to send representatives to
today's conferences with the
board.
Whether the Governm en-
would continue to try to assist
both sides to reach q settlement
if the union still refused to cancel
the strike remained a question
The board spokesman said that
was something still to be decided.
The airline and union have
been locked in a four-month dis
pute over wage rates and other
contract matters. The company
wants a present union shop ar
r ang m emit abandoned. The
Union seeks to boost hourly wage
rates presently ranging from
$2.O1 to $2.33 for mechanics to
