Representative Victor I. An
fuso, Democrat of Brooklyn
introduced legislation Thurs
day to permit Puerto Rico to
become the ffty-first state in
the Union.
He said in a statement that
his only purpose in introduce
ing this statehood bill is that
7 am convinced the over
whelming majority Of t h
Puerto Rican people desire It Z
But Governor Luis Munoz
Marin Of Puerto Rico described
statehood as 1a completely un-
real issue IN the island and
said that q vast majority Of
Puerto Ricans did not share
Mr.. Anfuso's views. The Gov
ernor is in Washington to dis
cuss ways Of strengthening
home rule in the island, which
is now a free commonwealth
associated with the Unit2I
States.
Puerto Rico has its own
constitution. Puerto Ricans
are American citizens but cam
not vote for President unless
they move to the United
States.
# there is any doubt the de-
sire Of Puerto Ricans for state
hood, Mr.. Anfuso said, THE
logical thing to do is to deter
mine the situation by a re-
ferendum." The bill provides
for a referendum.

bringing his weight down from
about 240 to 1874 pounds, Mr.
LAMA said he had recovered
from an unhappy episode. :"
He went on to make several
pictures here, including the
Seven Hills Of Rome"
There had been years in
which he worked hard, played
hard and sang every song as
if it would be his last. OF his
voice he often said:
1T is a gift of God. I can
not take credit for it: it merely
passes through me-"
Blamed MGM Studio
Mr.. LAMA blamed part of
his troubles on the MGM
studio, after the making of
THE Great Caruso."
I'VE had hit a high mark
with that picture" he said in
1854. 81 wanted to maintain
that quality. But when I re-
ported for work, I found out
they wanted me to star in an
Army picture. Because You're
Mine"
The picture was not a sue
cess, and his relations with
MGM worsened. When he
failed to report for "The Stu
dent Prince" the studio brought
a $5-million damage suit. This
later was settled and his voice
was used in the movie.
Mr.. LAMA said he could not
work for more than a year and
had to give up a fabulous
deal" tied to a radio show. One
of the incidents most damaging
to his career came when his
voice had to be dubbed in a
television show; old recordings
of his were used instead Of the
live voice. He declared later
his doctor had forbidden him
to sing at the time.

about his health.

last year, because he wanted to
see something new and be-
cause there's the business Of

here I've got a special deal.
Before I left the States,
! paid everything up. One of
the last things I did was to
shake hands with the Federal
income tax man."
Mr.. LAMA was born in the
Little Italy section of Phila-
delphia. His real name was
Alfredo Arnold Cocozza. He
later adopted his mothers
name Of LAMA for professional
use. His parents were born in
Italy. and his Italian was per-
feet.
He had idolized another
singer, Tenor Enrico Caruso,
from childhood, but never took
his singing seriously until the
age Of 10.
Met KOussevitsky
According to friends the
husky youth was moving a
piano one day when he met
Serge Koussevitsky, at the time
the conductor of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra. The re-
suit was an eventual bid to
sing at Tanglewood, Mass,
where Mr.. LAMA won his first
ovation.
After service in an Army en-
tertainment troupe in World
War II, the singer was hired to
do recordings for RCA Victor.
He rose to international fame
with his first movie, THAT
Midnight Kiss" in l949, and
his recordings were sold by the
millions.
He lived with his wife Betty
and four children in a sump-
tuous villa which once belonged
to Marshal Badoglio, World
War II Italian leader.
At the time of his death he
was planning a series of con-
cert tours in Europe and South
Africa.
