The $500 seats of Cramton
Auditorium were filled last
night for st. Louis-born Grace
Bumbry's American debut in
a full-length public recital. 1t
was as warm and approving an
audience as she can ever ex-
pect to encounter.
Until she had made a brief
and well-publicized command
performance at the White
House last February. few had
heard of Grace Bumbry in this
country. The facts quickly
emerged-she had studied with
Lotto Lehman in her teens,
had been the first Negro singer
to appear at Bayrouth in the
Wagner festival of 1861, had
sung at the Paris Opera a year
earlier and was leading a busy
artistic life in Europe. Now Is
she is launched on her first
tranScontinental American toul
under the aegis Of Sol Hurok.
Her appearance last nigh
was awaited with eagerness
and was expected to be a full
| fledged triumph. 1t was not
except in terms Of the numbe
of people in the sold-out house
and the ovations they consist
entity sent up to the stage.
Miss Bumbry has some voca
problems, which cannot be sum
away. That extraordinarily ricl
and dark low register, whicl
startled her auditors at tn
White House IN February, dis
closes its moments of inse
curity and hollowness in DC
tober at Cramton Auditorium
While this was most noticeabl
in the single big aria she sans
o Don Fatale, it could b
heard at other moments in tn
lieder groups.
She begins with too much i
the way of vocal talent and ar
dent temperament to allo'
; grave faults to appear jus
when she should be CROWN
into one of the great one;
Lovely voices are a dime
dozen, but lovely singers al
trained, not born. A year or tw
on the concert stage at thi
rate and she will not have
lovely voice: it has happene
often enough.
To make such point of wha
was wrong with the recital

Agustin Anievas, who played
at the Pan American Union
last night, has won a number
of piano contests in his short
professional career. This usu-
ally indicates that a young
musician has a fine technique,
whatever else he may have or
lack.
Mr.. Anievas is no exception.
His program was a difficult
one, but it is only in retrospect
that the listener thinks of the
matter of technique at all. This
is perhaps the greatest compli-
ment that can be paid a
pianist.
1t also often happens that a
' young pianist, violinist or sing
er has developed a technique
that is far in advance of his
artistic maturity. Mr.. AnievaS
is no exception in this respect
either.
The Bach was probably The
, best played work on the pro-
l gram. 1t was played with JUS
: enough flexibility and an ex'
cellent feeling for the nuance'
! Of late Baroque syncopation.
The trouble with the rest o.
the program was summarized
in two words by a listeGine
pianist. TOO tight" he said
l. And Rachmaninoff, Chopin
and List are fine composer
> to show up the rhythmic tight
: ness he had in mind.
The Persichetti sonata servet
as the modern work on tn,
concert. It is the sort of piecu
that combines a degenerate
' version of the sturdy al freSc,
I style that has served Coplant
9 so we'll with a bit of neo-sewinl
). machine from Hindemith's les
a effective. casual. commercial
e woTks. 1t was hardly worth tn,
0 trouble.
Like many young musicians
: Mr.. Anievas might do we'll tt
take a few lessons In stag,
presence. 1t may be a low. com
t mercial sort of thing but il Il
far more important than i!

Detour Road
Cut 10 Build
Bridge Ramps

A detour road is being built
through park land northwest OF
the Lincoln Memorial while
work continues on the Theo-
dore Roosevelt Bridge, officials
said today.
The new roadway will be
used for two years by the
thousands of motorists who
commute on Rock Creek and
Potomac parkways.
! After the detour road is
opened for traffic around
December /, Constitution ave-
nue. NV. will be closed between
Twenty-third street and the
Potomac parkway. Instead,
Constitution avenue traffic will
use a three-lane roadway to
Ohio drive and a four-lane
stretch to reach the Potomac
and Rock Creek parkways.
The section of Constitution
avenue will have to be closed
because ramps from the bridge
have to connect to the avenue
at ground level at Twenty-third
street.
After the bridge ramps are
finished and the bridge opened
in early 1864, the detour road
ways will be removed and the
area relandScaped.
District officials said the
traffic flow would be measured
to make sure the roadway will
handle the cars. There will be
several tryouts before Consti-
tuition avenue is closed.
If the detour road is not big
enough to handle traffic, it will
be widened, officials said.

Hits Lag in
Development
Washington

Metropolitan Washington
faces a "full-blown crisis.
Philip L. Graham. president OF
the Washington Post Co., de-
clared in a speech last night to
the 25th anniversary dinner Of
the Washington Building Con-
gress.
The area, he said, has a plan
for the future in the Year 1000
Plan which isn't bad" But
he added, I'VE are already see
ing it used as an opiate BY
planners and by out-and-out
obstructionists to tranquilize
us against our day-to-day ano
year-to-year problems.
"In some quarters" he con-
tinued. lit is being invoked as
Holy Writ to Justify delay ano
deferral on decisions for the
critical needs OF today ana live
years from today"
Sweeping Criticism
His criticism Of the areas
present condition was sweeping
and scathing. Some Of his
targets were:
The Potomac River.
the reek of raw sewage from
one of the worlds filthiest
rivers-a monument to what
has been called. the Effluent
Society"
Theodore Roosevelt Bridge
1T is absolutely scandalous
that after II years that bridge
is still incomplete"
Congress-"For sheer OBJ
structionism toward the Dis
trict. the record Of this session
of Congress is hard to match"
The New Frontier-"It is
strange that the New From
tier waited more than a year
and a half before extending
its influence to the citizens of
Metropolitan Washington :"
The CHA Headquarters-"If
that massive blockhouse of
the GAS is campus-type archi-
lecture, then I think we ought
to rename the Pentagon Har-
ward Yard"
Asks Swear Plan
Instead of being tranquil
lied" by the Year 1000 Plan,
Mr.. Graham said. the area
should establish a five-year
plan I'VE have the tools, the
money and the civic genius
to achieve. Major points in
his plan we're:
A clean Potomac; a National
Cultural Center: a national
aquarium, although my edi-
torial colleagues on The Wash
ington Post disagree with me-"
a rapid Towering of downtown;
an Inner Loop freeway fully
under contract; a functioning
authority for a mass transit
system: modern subway service
downtown; humane and eff
Gent relocation service for dis
placed families; completion Of
plans for the city's southeast
and northeast areas; blossom
ing of the north side of Penn
sylvania avenue; completion of
the Three Sisters Bridge, and
perhaps a Fourth or Fifth
sister.
In addition, he said. the area
should concentrate on: achiev-
ing equal job and housing OPP
portunities for Negroes;
strengthening the areas insti-
buttons Of higher learning;
coming to grips with the con-
ditions underlying spiralling
welfare problems; creating lar
ger banking and commercial in
stitutions, and getting more
intelligent and responsive rep
resentation in the District
Committees of Congress"

that would be collected by the

The city regards the county

the County Federation Of Citi-
zens Associations, propose
amendments to the present
coming ordinance,
The amendments would re-
strict apartment development
to areas on or near four lane
. highways. those covered by
area development plans, and
those which have equateI
public utility service.
The federation proposes that
no more than Is per cent of
the residents in any of the
county's seven magisterial dis
tricts be allowed to live in
apartments. For the county as
a whole, the federation asks
that the figure be set at IS
per cent.

trying to be helpful to the
board. -"
so the board won't have to
exercise its judgment" broke in
Supervisor John Parrish.
Court Tests FOreseen
Supervisor Adelard E. Brault
agreed with Mr.. Parrish that
the federation's proposals
would be too restrictive and
might lead to a number of
court tests.
IF the criteria are law, as
you suggest" said Mr.. Brault,
the board could be called ca
PRECIOUS If 1t doesn't grant all
appeals that meet the mini
mum standards"
Several citizens asked for a I
moratorium on apartment zon- ]
ing until the board restates its I
policy. :
People ought to have at l
least a warning of the stand
ards to be followed by the |
county board" said John {
Bradley of Mclean.

posing Incorporation of the =

The county chamber is OPP
posed to an arbitrary restric- f
ton on the percentage of popu- il
Iation that can be housed in "
apartments. E. The basic ques- a
ton here today is whether
guiding criteria or an ordi- =,
nance should prevail. The cri- +,
,eria should prevail" it read. h

is where we are get

mented. Il think our criteria h
could be precise but not neces-
sarily incorporated into law"
