Military Threat
BY the Associated Press

United States intelligence
experts are concerned about
extensive roadbuilding by Red
China along its Southern
border. Some think it could
be a prelude to thrusts into
Thialand, Burma, or elsewhere

Red China was described as

a vast network of. roads and

This South China province
borders directly on Burma

comes within a few miles of

When Ferruccio Tagliavini
made his debut at the Metro
politan Opera In l947, the first
Italian tenor Of the postwar
period to make his way across
the Atlantic, he left no doubt
that he was a member of a
select company Of contempo-
raries who practiced the now
venerable are of bel canto. He
was not noted then for the
high C that would blow out
the gas" nor is he now. but
than, as now, he held rank
among the leading lyric tenors
of our time.
In his Lisner Auditorium
recital, sung to a hall slightly
more than half filled, he worked
with eye closed most Of the
time, and demonstrated his
version Of bel canto singing
principally in the arias which
studded his program. The
evening began with one, the
rare and lovely lament from
Cilea's "L'Arlesiana."
The first of several high
spots on the program came in
Des Grieux's aria lie Reve,"I
from Massenet's "Manon," the
final measures Of which brought
a progressive laying-on of tone
to the ultimate exclamation of
Manon's name which brought
the house down. Pianist Sergei
Rachmaninoff once stood in
the wings at Carnegie Hall
during a benefit and mutted
in Illustration to his colleagues,
"Who can follow a tenor?" So
it has been through the genera

Throughout the evening
pianist Frank Baselice con-
tributed unobtrusive but COM
petent accompaniments, quite

from Puccini's La Tosca," one

The increase in the number

get skiers to replace single safe

When a skier takes a fast
tumble, known as an egg-beat-
er, a released ski will swing on
the end Of a single strap with
enough force to cut deeply
through clothes and flesh with
the offset steel edges. An arl-
berg strap, anchored at two
points, tends to keep the free
ski under the boot and away
from the face and head.
Properly adjusted straps also
give additional support to the
ankles, and improve edge con-

The Air Force officers fall
cons thrive on a diet of raw

plus vitamin supplements.
Since falcons cannot be bred
in captivity and must be
taken from the nest when
young or trapped, falconers are
being blamed for a shortage OF
peregrines along the Allegheny
mountains.
Calls Charge Unfair
This Is unfair, Maj. Heiberp
says. Actually, falconers
haven't been taking any birds
from nests in the mountains
since the early '40s and even
then they always left at least
one so as not to discourage the
parents"
He thinks rather the great
increase in picnickers, disease
among the pigeons or other
birds on which the hawks feed
or even insecticides may have
caused the shortage.
Maj. Heiberg points out that
the association is willing to
help sincere newcomers, but
since the sport is so complex
and takes so much time, will
actually attempt to discourage
them.
Nevertheless, falconry has a
long and honorable history al
though never popular in the
United States. If you are pre-
pared to spend many hours in
study, plus the tedious task of
training your bird. it might be
worth a try.
