Opportunities to hear much
Of the fine music available for
two soprano voices are rare
and the National Gallery's re.
cital last night presented q
sampling Of the best in that
idiom.
The first two groups were
baroque and offered some Of
the most delightful music OF
Purcell, Handel and Pergolesi
among others. The rest Of the
program was German romantic
and deluged the audience with
thirds and sixths extolling ma
ture. love and sorrow.
The two ladies who provided
the singing. JEANNE Grader and
Dorothy Renzi, resembled each
other more In costume than In
vocal production. but achieved
an excellent blend In soft pas
sages. The Pergolesi duet and
Schumann's song. IAN den
Abendstern." were quite effec-
tive. In forte the vibrato got
out Of hand. and the intonation
became maculate.
The accompanlst, Robert
Carroll Smith, gave a good
account Of the piano parts and
did much to make the evenings
music as pleasant, and as ex-
pert, % 1t was.
Whether from the continue
ton Of inaugural weather or
from q general reluctance to
hear singing. the audience was
rather sparse for the Gallery.

Bolivia was reported under a

of Communists and other ex-

Airline passengers arriving

was denied by travellers from La

committee has reported to the

mittee with an "open" recon-
mendation on the bill to per-
init Federal employees to retire
on full annuities after 80 years
of service regardless Of age.
The groups action leaves it
up to the full committee to de-
cide on the merits of the bill.
Senator Clark, Democrat of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the
subcommittee, was i'll during
the hearings on the bill.
Consequently, it's reported, he
was reluctant for the subcom-
mittee to make a specifically
favorable recommendation to
the full committee.
However, in order to expedite
action on the bill, it was agreed
TO clear it for full committee
consideration, without any
recommendation one way or the
other.
Actually, the bills chances OF
enactment this year in its
present form are poor. The
bills sponsors are hopeful Of a
compromise that would improve
its chances by placing an age

posal is to permit retirement
