Greater Washington has six chap
tiers of SPEBSQSA in Arlington, Alex

County and the District. Each meets at
least once a week to rehearse new
songs and revel in the old.
Although the Society is built
around quartet singing, so great has
been the demand for group barbershOp,
that choruses ranging from Is to 100
voices now augment the quartets.
What is barbershOp and how does
it differ from other male singing?
Basically, it is intuitive singing by
ear" Purists say that while melody is
important, harmony and the character
istic ring" are paramount. 1t is this
quality that rouses the most jaded lis

prominent tenor singing GboUe the

who stay close to their high-singing
brethren, harmonically lock in" on
nearly every major melody note.
These are the technicalities, but
when acoustics are right and the blend
and balance of the singers correct,
a good quartet has been known to
shatter crystal.
BarbershOppers are as sensitive to
pitchpipe as robin to the first Spring
mating call 1t is the only musical de-
vice they normally permit themselves,
and all singing is unaccOmpanied.
So what happens if the melody car
rier suddenly goes flat? The three other
members simply adjust instantly to the
new pitch. Through constant practice,
they have learned to so blend their
voices that, at SO feet it is virtually
impossible to tell who is singing what

Hurricane Aims Fury

MIAMI. Fla, Oct. 80 (AP).
Hurricane Hattie, now UP to
l50-mile-an-hour fury, howled
toward British Honduras and
the Yucatan peninsula today,

Destructive winds and waves

The Kennedy administration
now expects to spend $50 bill
lion and run a deficit of $6.9
billion this fiscal year, and
insists that the red-ink budget
is prudent" and non-infla-
tionary.
In an extraordinarily defen-
sive review of the budget out
look released last night, the
administration attributed the
deficit mainly to the recent re-
ceSsion and to national Securi-
ty requirements.
The new estimates are sub
stantially above President Ken
nedy's earlier spending and de-
ficit forecasts, and contrast
with former President Eisen-
hower's prediction of a budget
surplus.
Budget Director David E. Bell
told reporters military outlays
may climb even higher this
fiscal year if the world crisis
worsens, but said the latest
non-military spending figures
are quite solid"

Soviet AssaiIed

U. N. ENJOYS Clash
On Newest BIust

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Oct. 80 (AP). = United States
Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson
today accused the Soviet Union
of pushing the world toward
disaster by exploding its mas
sive superbomb. The Soviet
Union retorted that the current
tests were intended to prevent
the United States from launch
ing a nuclear war.
The clash occurred in the
General ASSembly's main Politi-
cal Committee, where Soviet
Delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin
cited the critical Berlin situa-
ton as the reason for the cur
rent series of Soviet nuclear
tests, including today's explo-
sion of a bomb said to surpass
so megatons.
ANY moment war can start,
Mr.. TSarapkin declared.
Cynical Disregard Charged
Mr.. Stevenson charged that
the Soviet Union had shown
cynical disregard for the United
Nations and its appeal to the
Kremlin not to test a 50-mega-
ton bomb approved last Friday
night by a vote of 87-11.
Mr.. Tsarapkin quoted at
length from Premier Khru-
shchev's statement explaining
the Soviet governments rea-
sons for going against world
opinion to carry out the bomb
tests. Then he added:
I'm order to prevent a nu-
clear and rocket war, all
measures must be taken. And
one of these measures which
can prevent you from launch
ing a nuclear weapons war is
to increase the defensive posi-
ton of the Soviet Union. This
is why we do it."
Mr.. Stevenson said there
was no justification for the
explosion of the gigantic bomb
except "for intimidation"
"If this is what Mr.. Tsarap-
kin calls Soviet realism" the
chief United States delegate
said. then God help us all to
escape from Russian realism. "

MOSCOW, Oct. 80 (AP.-
Five thousand cheering dele
gates and officials at the Soviet
Communist Party Congress
voted today to remove the body
of Joseph Stain from it's place
beside Lenin in the big tomb
on Red Square.
The Congress action came in
the wake of speeches by Pre-
mier KhruShchev and others
denouncing the longtime Soviet
dictator as a murderer and
instigator of mass repression
against Communist and Army
leaders. Mr.. Khrushchev said as
a result of Stalin's purges, the
Soviet Army's efficiency was at

with Mr.. Khrushchev's speech,
was a tipoff to the subsequent

The name of Stain. put
alongside Lenin's on the tomb
when his embalmed body was
placed there in 1858. will be
removed. The monument now
will bear the name Of the
founder of modern-day COM
munism, Vladimir Tlyich Lenin.
There was no immediate an
nouncement where the en-
balmed body of Stain will be
placed.
The proposal for the removal
was made in the Congress in
the Kremlin by Ivan Spiri-
donov, first secretary Of the
party in the Leningrad region.
1t was promptly Endorsed by
the Moscow delegation in
whose territorial jurisdiction
the tomb is situated.
The motion was also sup
ported by a representative Of
the delegation from Georgia,
Stains birthplace.

At the tomb itself there was
no sign of any special activity.
Crowds were gathered in front

tually pro-rate the oney
among the depositors.
Question of Insurance
Mr.. Belts assured depositors
everything possible will be done
to see that no depositor loses
money, although he added that
so far he has no information
that the firm was insured.
"If the association was in
sured," said Mr.. Belts, I'VE
don't know it,"
He asked that depositors not
phone to inquire about their
money. Written queries to the
Silver Spring office will be
answered as soon as possible.
Mr.. Belts said. He used the
words monumental task" to
describe the job ahead.
The association first came
under scrutiny in 1858 when
Senator Beall, Republican of
Maryland, asked the Senate
Banking Committee to inves-
tlgate it. He based his request
on the company's claims that
its savings accounts were in
sured up to $4,000 each by
the American Savings g. Loan
Indemnity Co.
Roosevelt Once Chairman
Mr.. Kaufman said, as Sena-
tor Beall did in 1858, he could
find no one who has heard of
this insurance company.
The insurance company, in
1858. was reported by the
United States Savings and Loan
League to be a Panama cor
poration which consistently had
refused to produce a financial
statement.
Representative James Roose-
welt, Democrat of California.
was chairman of the board of
the association when the Sem
ate investigation started in
1858. His administrative assist
ant, Mrs. Juanita Barbee, said
Mr.. Roosevelt is out of town
today but declared he had re-
signed from the firm in Au-
gust, 1858.
When Senator Beall launched
his probe in 1858 Maryland
had no law regulating savings
and loan associations. The
1861 Maryland Legislature
passed an overall law to regu-
late such firms and also passed
a bill fixing the minimum
amount of savings assets an
insurance company could cover.
