of vastly different character.
Mr.. Carringer's nemesis seems
to be the very power which
stands him in good stead when
singing over the large forces that
accompanied him last week end.
Although his soft voice has a
velvety appeal, he seems reluc-
tant to use it, preferring a rather
hard, unyielding forte for long
stretches Of monotonously un-
changing sound. Occasionally
the forte builds to a free, ringing
fortissimo. More often. though,
the prolonged heaviness. produces
fatigue, excessive vibrato,
clouded diction, insecure pitch,
and lessened control of every
element of nuance.
Walter Carringer has much
above the average potentiality.
With age. study and experience.
he should reach a point where
his big voice no longer wagS the

John Wustman, accompanying
the singer. except for some over

William K. DuPree, a prom
ising young artist who will be
recalled for his resounding sue
cess in Carmen Jones" here last
summer, was heard yesterday
afternoon in recital at the Phil
lips Gallery.
The program selected by Mr..
IDuPree was a highly unusual one,
featuring rarely performed works
by Rameau. Respighi and Erich
Wolff.
At his best. Mr.. DuPree is a
remarkable vocalist-sensitive,
musicianly. dramatic. exciting to
hear. He is blessed with a won-
derfully bright. clear tenor voice
and flair for unrestrained
lyricism. He should do extremely
we'll in Italian opera.
But he has a greater potential
than that. and perhaps some day
he may be able to equal the ex-
quisitely supple. coldly silver
singing of so great an artist as
Hughes Cuenod. Unfortunately,
that day has not as yet come.
The trouble seems to lie in
Mr.. DuPree's uneven vocal pro-
duction. This leads to a tight,
CONSTRUCTED quality in his top
tones, particularly in loud pass
ages. in sharp contrast to the
velvety loveliness of his middle
register and mezza voce. When
the singer managed to conquer
this strained edginess, it was a
Joy to listen to him. but techni-
cal faults flawed the recital
throughout.
Just about the best vocalism
of the afternoon came in Re-
spighi's Delta Silvane," set Of
four lushly romantic ballads.
These were sympathetically and
intensely projected by Mr.. Du-
Pree.
The concert closed with a
group of Spanish and Portuguese
folksong arrangements (much
too fancy for my tastel by v. B.
Spratlin, who was in the au-
dience.
Accompanist Paul Higin-
botham was apparently having a
bad afternoon and was no great
inspiration to the soloist. There
was much pulling and hauling of
tempt. and there were too many
plain blunders for comfort

In an evensong service offered
as a special prayer for divine
blessing of the life and work Of
the people of the State of New
Mexico. the Washington Cattle
dral choir yesterday presented
one of the most engaging Of its
unusual and discriminating
choral programs.
The music sung was almost en-
tirely that of Henry Purcell, with
aschant by an Irishman, Charles
Villers Stanford. thrown in as
a placebo. Purcell is one of the
few composers produced by Eng
land whose nationality. whose
century, and whose place in
music have only a bookish in
terest; Purcell, like Bach or
Palestrina, is universal, and his
music by itself commands the
entire attention and emotional
participation of the auditor.
Few great composers have a
wider range of style than Purcell.
Some of the music presented by
Paul Galloway and his men yes
terday reminds one of a meticu-
lous Handel, some Of the pas
sionate chromaticism of the Bach
"Crucifixus," some of the tender
and plant sentiment Of Couperin
or ChambonniereS.
The finale of the afternoon,
"Jehova, guam multi sunt hostes
mei," a tenor solo sung with
sombre magnificence by Dom
Crane. seems to look back to the
severe style of the master who
has left his impression on all
church composers who have
known him. Heinrich Schultz.
The personnel of the choir of
the Washington Cathedral is. of
course. always in a state of flux.
The BASES and tenorS are no
less permanent than the average
of the transient population Of
Washington, but the trebles and
altos disappear annually with
the coming Of their manhood
and their diplomas. and with the
loss of their voices. The choir
this season is one of the best
solid in tone, secure in ensemble,
and musical in expressivity.

Lausche has been strongly under

voted for him. Asked the direct
question: Did you vote for Sena-

piled: IF l said | did not vote for

Lausche also seemed to agree more
with the President than with his
own party. Certainly, more than
with the present Senator from Ohio
Mr.. John w. Bricker, author of the
Bricker amendment which seeks
to limit the Presidents treaty
making power. Asked whether he
believed in lending or giving "our
money to foreign countries, Mr.

stand alone, that we must have al
lies and that aiding them seems
necessary to our own safety.

in the least like a candidate for
anything. On the contrary, he
stunned all the usual candidatorial
bunk. There was not so much as a
touch of the demagogue about him.
He appeased no man and appealed
to no group. He was equally frank
on personal as we'll as political
questions. AS to his religion the
is a Catholic. il had never been a
political handicap to him. He judged
men neither by their creed nor
their color. He thought the Taft
Hartley Act was sound. which is a
great contrast TO Mr. Stevenson,
Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. Kefauver
who take the labor boss view that
it is a slave labor" law Though
he expects to be Ohio's 'favorite
son" in the August convention, he
is not and will not be a presidential
aspirant. His purpose is to hold the
Ohio delegation together so that
its weight may be used in favor
of principles and men of whom
he approves.
Altogether it was a refreshing and
inspiring performance. If elected
he will raise the level of the Senate
and improve the health of Ameri-
can politics. 1t is certainly time an
other fearless senator were chosen.
Senator Byrd, of Virginia, at times
seems a pretty lonely man. Nor will

Naturally. none Of these is now

senator a man with as much cour-
age as any of those cited in the

five terms during which he has held
his present office Governor Lausche
has established a reputation for
character and independence al
most unique in the country. 1t has
made him a national figure and
caused him to be widely mentioned
as highly qualified for presidency,
A few days ago he appeared for the
first time on a national television
program For half an hour he sub
mitted to a cross-eXamination by
four astute and somewhat ruthless
reporters who asked him every en-

Lausche. He met all of them head
