Grace Bumbry Sings
"Command" Concert
At The White House

Washington (ANP) - Grace
Bumbry, a Negro girl from st.
Louis who achieved fame via the
concert halls of Europe, hit the
historical highpoint of her career
as a singer when she sang a com
mand" concert for President and
Mrs. Kennedy and a number of
elites at the White House Tuesday,
Feb. 20.
She sang at the first social event
of the season at the White House
and thus became the first member
of her race to be accorded the
honor. She was also honored by
being requested to sing the con-
cert by the First Lady herself.
Once In Lifetime Honor
The talented, young mezzo-sop-
rano was asked to sing the concert
in the East Room of the White
House after Mrs. Kennedy heard
friends laud her for her singing in
Paris and other places in Europe.
Mrs. Kennedy contacted her man.
ager, Sol Hurok, and the White
House request was conveyed to
Miss Bumbry in France.
Meanwhile, her unique position
on the social register of White
House performers, elated Miss
Bumbry to the point of being nerv-
Gus even about her eating. She
even pondered passing up going to
the dinner proper in order not to
risk hurting her singing. However,
Hurok reminded her that the din
7er too, was a Observation-Disclosures
chance" and suggested that she
20 to the dinner and not eat. She
took the advice and ate only
enough to confirm with protocol.
Thrills Audience
Miss Bumbrys voice was ex-
cellent and the audience, consisting
of some 12O distinguished guests,
thrilled to it. She particularly de-
lighted Mrs. Kennedy by singing
several selections in French. Mrs.
Kennedy has French ancestry and
speaks the French language well.
Included in Miss Bumbrys re-
pertoire were:
"Odel Mic Doics Ardoir" by
Gluck; "Quelio Fiamma Che M
accende" by Benedetto Marcellon;
"Stanchen" and "Zueignung" by
Richard Strauss; "L'Invitation au
Voyage" and lie Manor de Rosa
monde" by Henri duParc; Boat
mems Dance" by Aaron COPELAND;
and "Out in the Fields With God"
by Dawson. Her encore number
was 20 Don Fatale" from Verdi's

VICE PRESIDENT LYN-
DON JOHNSON has been
showing up daily at Wash

fact that he used to limit
his partying pretty much to
close personal friends when
he was in the Senate, he

He was certainly the social
lion of the weekend having
gone to the Arthur Goldbergs'
Friday night, the Mexican
Embassy Saturday, the Wal

Philippine Ambassador and
Mrs. Romulos' on Monday,
and last night to the opening
of "The Premise" the new
improvisational theater at
the Shoreham, which was
followed by a supper for the
entire audience.
1t was quite a well-known
audience, too. The opening,
by invitation only, drew in
addition to the Johnsons,
Senator and Mrs. Mansfield,
Senator and Mrs. Humphrey,
Senator Scoop Jackson and
his very pretty blond bride,
Senator Ken Keating, Dan

BY BETTY BEALE
Star Staff Writer

Some of President Kenne-
dy's friends are beginning to
feel concerned on his behalf
in regard to the hornets nest
stirred up over the Metro
politan and Cosmos Clubs.
If the President, as a re-
suit of the much-publicized
controversies, cannot belong
to a segregated club, this will
mean he will have to give up
his membership in the Hy-
annisport Club, where he
played golf during the sum-
mer months until his back
injury. BY the same token,
he might feel obligated not
to patronize any segregated
club, which would mean he
could not play golf here when
his back gets well, or at the
Palm Beach Country Club
where his father is a mem
ber. 1t seems a pity because
he loves the game.
Actually, there is not any
club on any level of society
which is not segregated in
one way or another. The
meaning of the word segre-
gate is to set apart, separate,
select, which is how a club
is formed. The privilege of
forming such groups on the
basis of compatibility and
mutual interests is one of the
rights of free citizens.
