Doc Owner Left Holding
Too Seeks Councils Aid

Weighty deliberations of the
Prince Georges County commits
sioners begged down today on
the question of what to do about
a refund on a 81 tag which a
lost dog never got to wear.
1t began with a letter from
Mrs. Allen Curry of 54l4 Wheeler
road, requesting return of the
dollar she paid January 81 for a
tag for her son Tommy's cocker
spaniel. The dog disappeared
the following day and Mrs.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-02-01

Curry returned the tag with the
request for a refund.
This was something new. in
volving policy. tradition and
principle. and many were the
knitted brows.
Gets Cold Reception
I'VE can't give back a dollar
everytime a dog runs away
people would be writing in all
the time" cautioned William L.
Kahler. counsel to the commits
sioners.
But Board President Herbert
w. Reichelt said there was a
principle involved. He dug into
his wallet and tossed out a 81
bill.
R. Lee Van Horn. commissioner
clerk. said the auditors would be
upset and doubted whether the
county heads could return the
dollar even with an authorizing
resolution.
Dollar Offered Again
Commissioner Jesse S. Bag
gett piped up with a new thought.
Why not each board member
chip in toward the dollar? This
prompted Mr.. Reichelt to restore
his dollar to its original resting
place. He instructed the clerk to
take care of it."
I'm still not sure what they
want me to do" said Mr.. Van
Horn later.
Mrs. Curry wrote the commits
sioners she had made a thorough
search for the dog, Friskie, be-
fore asking for relief. She re-
called that these things were all
ways happening to her. In 1854
she bought tag for a dog that
was killed two months later.

Rev. King Hits Government Policy

in Clarendon County and has
been shipping food and clothing
to WCC victims throughout the
South.
The NCRS' has been spanked
primarily by the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters. 1t has
won the support of numerous
organizations including repre-
sentative bodies of such unions
as the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union and the
United Auto Workers.
At the luncheon meeting, DR..
King described the Montgomery
bus protest movement and hit
out at the separate but equal"
concept. There can be no
quantitative equality" he de-
clared, "wi thout qualitative
equality"
Hailing the rise of the world
colonial revolution, DR.. King
pointed to it's expression in this
country as manifested by the
struggle of the Negro people for
equality. /
In a deeply moving conclu-
sion, DR.. King told his audience,
eff integration is to become a
reality, we must not depend on
the legal means alone, but also
upon protest against segregation
wherever it is found. And this
protest will come. 1t will come
from every mountain top and
plain, from every city and vii
lage, from every farm and fac
tory!"

New York-"It is very strange
that the Government of the
United States righteouSly con-
dennis the repression of the
Hungarian people, but utters not
a word about the repression
against the American Negroes"
said Rev. Martin Luther King,
president of the Montgomery
Improvement Association as he
addressed a Dec. 16 luncheon at
the Hotel Commodore of the
National Committee for Rural
Schools.
The NCRS is an organization
which helps to provide material
support for the Negro victims
of economic reprisals in the
South. In addition to armed
violence and intimidation, the
White Citizens Councils ' have
waged a campaign to prevent
Negro sharecroppers and farm
ers who stand up against Jim
Grow from obtaining vitally
needed food supplies, seed and
farm equipment. The WCC has
been particularly active with
this form of reprisal in Claren-
don County, S. G.
In addition, the racists in
many cases have made it i'm
possible for Negro farmers and
business men to receive the loan
and credit necessary for their
functioning. The NCRS tries to
meet the needs created by this
emergency. AS a beginning it
has set up a cooperative store

THE ARABS ARE MARKING Time
BY Seymour Weiss.


New York.-"The Arabs are
marking time until their stock
pile of arms and munitions, now
legally flowing in from the Unit
ed States, becomes large enough
to improve their chance of VIC
tory in a large-scale aggression"
These words, although written
almost two years ago by Ruth
L. Pelhemus Goldberg in II Saw
Israeli" are doubly significant
in the light of today'S turbul-
ence in the Middle East.
With the eyes of the world
tensely focused on Israel, this
report on the country by Mrs.
Goldberg, a former American
newspaperwoman, assumes even
more Importance and topicality
than when it twas published in
1855 by Exposition Press of New
York. e
Based on eyewitness expert
ences and observations as a
member of a university Work
shop" in Israel, the book offers
valuable views and facts about
Israel's political, economic and
social problems (including that
of minoritieS); it's industry, geo.
graphy, culture and education,
and other vital current events
''from Dan to Beersheba.
Perhaps the Arab states are
marking time and delaying pos
sible settlement of the Israel
problem for more reasons than
the stockpiling Of arms" wrote
Mrs. Goldberk at one point. 'The
longer they delay, the further
the rehabilitation of their un-
derprivileged will have progress
ed. They then will find Arabian
back yards, physiqueS, mental
tiles and standards of living in
Israel in far better shape than
when they so swiftly ran out
on them"
Mrs. Goldberg, who spent a
decade and a half on the Pas
sale MD Daily Herald in ca
pacaties ranging from advertis-
ing copywriter to police reporter
and city editor, now lives in

When sung by such glorious
voices as Lawrence Winters, Inez
Matthews and Luther Saxon,
these melodies will become more
measurable. In addition to con-
cert work and in Mr.. Winter
case, operatic experience of a
high order, these three soloistS
have each been intimately iden-
titled with at least one of the
three works Leonard de Paur
has fitted into the Opera Gala.
Lawrence Winters succeeded
Todd Duncan, the original Por-
gy: Inez Matthews played in
both Carmen Jones" and 'Four
Saints, and Luther Saxon was
chosen by Billy Rose for the
tenor lead in Carmen jones'.
They return. to these delightful
and individual works as two old
and agreeable friends.
Although de Paur's Infantry
George Marshall, one of it's
of it's membership remains with
the Opera Gala, forming the
male opera chorus. In addition,
George Marshall, one of it's
chief soloists, will sing solo parts
in the three operas as well.
In nine country wide tours,
the Infantry Chorus gave more
than 1900 concerts: it toured
the Caribbean in 1851 and Japan
in 1854. It's memory will live on
through its many records and
the vivid recollections that
spring to the minds of it's mil
lions of auditors at the words:
"de Paur's Infantry Chorus"
It's friends now join in a. toast
to it's new existence:
'Ivviva Opera Long Live de
Paur's Opera Gala!"
This brilliant cast of over SO
personnel will be presented at
Phoenix Union High School Au-
ditorium on Saturday, January
26th at $3.50 P.M. by the Phoenix
Community and Civic Concert
Association as the second at
traction of the series.

Il
The trim tan battle-jacketS,
long the trademark Of Ameri-
cas- foremost concert attrac-
ton, the de Paur Infantry Cho-
rus, has at last been doffed in
favor of conventional white tie
and tails. But not for a "con-
ventional" program, for Con-
.ductor Leonard de Paur has
added a fresh concept that
ensures the lively interest of
audiences and a long life for
a new incarnation of his unit.
de Paur's Infantry Chorus
has become the genesis of de
Paur's Opera Gala by the ad-
dition of three top ,Soloists, some
women choristers, and orchestra
and a brilliant idea. It seems
appropriate that the chorus,
which has entertained millions
all over the world and become
known as the most potent force
for music to come out of World
War II, should celebrate it's
tenth anniversary by breaking
new ground.
Leonard de Paur's high repu-
tation in the world of music,
where his name is a hallmark
of excellence, enabled him to
secure the rights to give ex-
cerpts from three Broadway
smash hits, many of which have
never been heard in concert be-
fore. Audiences of ninety cities
all over the country are in for
a new treat when the de Paur
Opera Gala comes to town.
To hear gems from the witty
"Four Saints in Three Acts,
with it's delicious ibretto by
Gertrude Stein and it's gay music
by Virgil Thomson is a privilege
seldom accorded concert au-
diences. The electrifying Ham
merstein version of Bizet's opera
known as Carmen Jones" is
all too rarely presented for con-
Sistent ejoynent. And the belov-
ed melodies of Gershwin'S "Por-
gy and BeSs', with their rich
lyrics by Dubose Hayward and
Ira Gershwin, complete the pic
ture for Opera Gala picture
as varied and as sparkling as
any audience could wish for.
