More than 10 Soviet sub
marines have been detected
and tracked by United States
Navy ships and planes block
aiding Cuba. informed sources
said today.
About. five or six came to
the surface. In one instance a
Russian sub was spotted taking
on fuel from a tanker.
The sources did not specify
when the subs were detected,
but they indicated it was in
the early stages of the arms
blockade which began October
"a.
Some officers said it was one
of the biggest concentrations
of Soviet submarines they could
remember in any one general
area.
They theorized the Russian

of the Soviet Unions latest
conventional models-were or
dered to concentrate near the
blockade area at that time.

percentage of interpretive and

OF the Cathedral's acoustical

verses adorn the clerestory

The canticle, long a singular
challenge to sacred composers,
was carried by the Cathedral
Choir in a setting which was

wrought lyriciSm, rather than
thunderous clamor, and its
harmonic language. which 1

The second concert Of the
season to be sponsored here by
the Free Concerts Foundation
of Chicago brought the 80
voices of the 600-year-old Coim-
bra University chorus to sound
out in the stony but acoustically
live vastness of Catholic Uni
versity's Shrine. At times they
sounded like any good college
glee club, but there were diff
ferences both visual and aural
in most of the program.
These sober-looking young
men from Portugal wear Tux
edo in the accepted tradition
here, but they also wear attrac-
tive short black capes which
give them an added bit of class.
The tenors have that PENN
sular nasality which goes so
well with Spanish and Portu-
guese popular music, and not
SO well with some of the stand
ard choral repertoire, but since
the program was more popular
than standard it didn't grind
on the ear.
A university chorus is only
what a director can make of it,
and DR.. Raposo Marques proved
to be a relaxed but demanding
director. He is also a good ar
ranger, some Of the most attrac-
tive numbers on the program
being Of his authorship.
The "Fado" is a sad song.
Those appearing on this pro-
gram all dealt with love in one
way or another, sung by three
tenors and accompanied by two
mandolins and two guitars.
Machado Soares, doubling as
tenor soloist and guitarist, sang
with exquisite nuance in his
solos.
The Shrine was cold, and the
Orfeon did not always manage
to maintain pitch. Understand

ture was a reflection Of the
miserable weather outside. Sew
