Margaret Tynes Plans Silent Day
Before D. C.. Concert Debut

Before she makes her Wash
ington concert debut tomorrow
night, soprano Margaret Tynes
will spend the day in silence.
Experience has taught the
33-year-old native Virginian
that talking is more wearing
on the voice than singing"
$50 few singers talk cor
rectly," she said. Therefore,
instead of speaking, she saves
her voice for the performance
and likes to eat a thick steak
before it.
Miss Tynes, now a resident
of Milan, Italy, viii perform
with the National Symphony
Orchestra at Constitution Hall.
Originally scheduled to sing a
duet with tenor George Shir-
ley from 'Manon Lescaut," Miss
Tynes said today shee didn't
know a duet was on thee pro-
gram. This problem will be
worked out at rehearsal today.
She arrived here last night
and after two performances
will depart to sing in Spain.

However, she was hired im-

son at the Bologna Opera
House in Italy, an unusual
honor for an American, she
said.
The Negro soprano is still
trying to learn a repertoire "be-
tween scenes" because she
feels her repertoire is not broad
enough. Miss Tynes turned
down an offer last year by the
Metropolitan Opera to sing a
role in "Salome."
She feels it is better for
singer to join the Met with a
repertoire, thus being in a

Despite a rigorous concert
and opera schedule, mostly
overseas, Miss Tynes is en-
gagged to marry a Czechoslo-
vakian industrial designer.
Tomorrow night, she said,
she will sing the finale from
"Salome," one of the parts
which has brought her Euro
pean acclaim as another Maria

Beltway through Rock Greek
Park between Georgia and

Political campaign trinkets
are usually tossed into the trash
can after election night. When
the rare ones wind UP in a
museum their Importance is
seldom realized by the average
visitor.
The Smithsonian Institutions
division of political history
hopes to change all this when
it opens the Hall of American
Politics at the new Museum Of
History and Technology some
time early next year. The dis
play will not be exhibited until
then.
The hall will show the vast
Becker and Stack collections
of political Americana from
Washington's day to the pres
ent. Life-size marching figures
will illustrate the times from
1910, when politicking as we
know it really began, to the
early 1905 when it slowed
almost to a stop.
The largest collection OF
campaign items was turned
over to the Smithsonian in 1860
by Ralph E. Becker. a WASH
ington attorney. The Stack
collection was compiled by
Joseph, Morton, Norman, Ben
jamin and Harvey Stack, of
New York. The 400 Stack items
were given to the museum this
year.

The
Rambler
On
Bridge
BY JOHN McKELwAY

One of the interesting
things about columns on the
game of bridge, which appear
in newspapers and magazines
in at least so States, is that
there are a remarkable num-
ber of people who understand
them.
And 1t is probably a safe
assumption that there are
those who go at the bridge
column Immediately upon
receiving the publication and
then, leisurely, turn back to
the Cuba news feeling better
already.
But If you have been in,
say, is bridge games in your
lifetime and still had trouble
Throughout the 18th follow
ing the suit, bridge columns
should not be attempted un-
less you are all alone and
the children are in bed.
The Rambler gave up
bridge some years ago after
he found he was unable to
make the slightest contribu-
tion to the furious explana-
tions which always followed
each hand and seemed TO be
as much a part of the game
as shuffling or collecting
tricks and swapping them
into neat little piles.
But OF late, he has taken
to reading about the game
because 1t is the one place, in
a newspaper, where East and
West are sometimes partners
and, apparently, are working
toward a common objective
seated down around a table"
with North and South.

THERE SEEMS TO BE a
standard pattern to most of
the columns. Frequently they
sway between a certain
poetry and the technical
type language found in de-
scriptions of retro-rockets.
A sample is offered in an
attempt to, indicate what
might lie ahead for some of
you:
Sometimes, unless you use
mirrors, your partner will fail
to let you know what he
would like to try to do. Even
a wink might fall. SO, in a
situation in which East and
South hold the same cards,
but in a different suit, and
North and West have indi-
Gated a desire to become
dummy, drop your cards on
the floor"
Take this game which inn
mediately followed.
EAST assumed that West
would not ruff, and might
refuse to deal, although he
guessed South had as many
trunlps as he did.
"But West opened with the
three Of spades, indicating it
was high time declarer
should cash dummy's top
clubs and possibly ruff up
North.
''But West surprised North,
South and East by laying all
his cards on the table--face
down. West then left the
room and went out in the
kitchen to try and find some
pretzels. "
South then made his de-
cision. If he could guess
which opponent had started
with a doubleton in dia-
monds he could then assume
that Vests queen was left
unguarded, particularly If he
was still out in the kitchen.
"But West returned. After
drumming on the table, he
ignored his partners signal
and led a heart in an attempt
to crowd out dummy's king.
