It is sheer pleasure to both
head and watch Jean Madeira
She has that rare combination
of dramatic presence and vocal
artistry. No matter how violent
the action. she never lets down
the quality Of the voice, and
no matter how enchanting the
melody she never submits to
stale operate posturing. Her
Carmen was, therefore, thor
oughly believable, leaning
somewhat more to the suave
side than the untamed gypsy.
How many glorious songs
Bizet packed into one opera
When q voice like that Of Mrs
Madeira sings them 1t is diff
ficult to pick the highlights.
Sparkling Aria
Her opening aria, the Habe-
nera, certainly would have to
be included. The spark from
this rendition alone was enough
to ignite the whole first act
But then she went on to con-
vert every song into q master
piece Of control. appropriateness
to the dramatic context and
varying vocal colors.
The outstanding impression,
however. is Of q voice singing
in one unbroken line, ebbing
and flowing with the music
completely free from the prob
lens Of vocal production OF
sound.
Mrs. Madeira's performance
would have been enough to
carry the show. but the opera
was by no means the diva'S
alone. There was the exciting

Pentogon Tells Factors
In Contract Award

tages which can overcome the
deficiencies"
Because both aircraft can
perform the missions required
by both services, the justifica-
ton said 1T is necessary to
consider other factors in eval-
uating these aircraft"
One of these, it said is the
degree of commonness" of
parts. On a reasonably COM
parable basis" the justifica-
ton said, IS per cent Of the
parts in the General Dynamics
version are interchangeable as
against so per cent in the Boe-
ing proposal.
The justification took the po-
sition that Boeing was over
optimistic in its estimated cost
of the program and in solving
engineering problems in con-
nection with the production Of
the multi-purpose aircraft.
BOeing Ranked Second

is pertinent to note" the mem

eral Dynamics evaluation ex-
ceeds Beings in the technical
areas of air vehicle. propulsion,
flight control, secondary power
and environment control, mis-
sion and traffic control, aero
space ground equipment, crew
provisions and personnel sub
systems. These favorable areas,
in our opinion, outweigh the de-
ficiences in offensive systems.
reconnaissance and penetration
aids"
Another consideration, the
memorandum said, was that
General Dynamics and its asso-
ciate, the Grammar Co. have
had experience in producing
fighter aircraft. On the other
hand. it added, Boeing's expert
ence in recent years has been
in producing bombers and jet
transports.
The civilian secretaries are
to face critical ques-
tioning when they go before the
subcommittee this week or next.
According to the transcript Of
Thursdays closed hearing, the
subcommittee challenged the
figures used by Secretary
zuckert in preparing the justi-
fication.
The figures, the testimony in
were not the same as
those used by the military eval-
uation boards in reaching their
recommendation in favor of the
Boeing design.

By CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff Writer

The Pentagon's civilian
bosses have undertaken to re-
move some of the sting from
the. Senate's investigation of
the Tx aircraft contract with
the release Of a detailed justi-
fication for awarding 1t to the
General Dynamics Corp. Of
Fort Worth, Tex.
1t listed "commonness" In
parts for "a fighter plane de-
signed for use by both the Air
Force and Navy; use of more
conventional materials; more
realistic cost estimates, and a
better possibility of getting the
plane delivered on schedule as
the principal reasons for the
award.
The justification was re-
leased. the Defense Department
said, "in response to queries. !"
The release said there were two
deletions for security reasons.
1t was signed by Air Force
Secretary zuchert and Navy
Secretary Korth and approved
by Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara.
The contract decision was
announced last November "a.
1t overruled the unanimous rec
concentrations of four military
boards favoring the Boeing Air
craft Co., of Seattle, Wash. as
the producer of the plane.
Proposals Nearly Even
The military, according to-
Information released by the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee in its inquiry. rated the
Boeing design superior in long
ferrying operations, in bomb
carrying capacity and as less
costly by estimates ranging
from sol million to more than
$500 million.
The justification, which was
prepared as a Memorandum
for the Record" and dated last
November 81, said:
1T is apparent from the
evaluation that the Boeing and
General Dynamics proposals,
although possessing strong
dissimilarities, are rated equal
ly."
Without giving specific de-
tails. it said that, 'in the raw
score comparison, General Dy-
namics received 1855 points and
Boeing 1871, a difference of
less than 2 per cent"
The justification then added
THE Air Force gives a signi-
ficant edge to the operational
characteristics of the Boeing
aircraft. because Of its longer
ferrying range, greater fire
power and provision Of thrust

variability. The Navy also favorsg

Thomas Stewart, Court Administrator, Is Guest Speaker at Ice Bloc Meet


 Thomas Stewart, Court Admis- trator for the State of Alaska, was the guest speaker at the Ice Bloc meeting last week and Alice Schee, reporter for the Juneau Empire, was a special guest.
 MT. Stewart talked on Magi- strate Courts in Northwest Alaska and stated that the main problem of the system was finding per sonnel adequately qualified to fill the various openings for the dis trict and deputy magistrates.
 Mr. Stewart stated that placing District Magistrate in Vain wright was being considered, as the Nome Magistrate now handled i all that area, and it seemed to be too much too handle. An educa- tional program was being set up for more training in judicial court pro- cedures.
 The latest Supreme Court ruling is that every indigent was entitled to transcript of the trial, so the system will probably have to hire more clerical help; also an indigent is entitled to a counsel on appeal even if they have no funds, so this will cost the state more money.
 Sen. John Coghill recommended that magistrates should use more down to earth Qayman language in telling a citizen his rights.
 Mir. Stewart stated that the magi- strate in Nome has to travel lot and thought another magistrate should be stationed in Nome just to travel.
 Sen. Pearse Walsh stated that he thought Wainwright should be commended in their action of be- l coming a fourth class city and that there is someone living in the community who would qualify for the position of magistrate.
 Sen. Lester Bronson presided at the meeting which was attended 1 by Sens. Neal Foster, Eben Hopson, John Coghill, David Harrison and Pearse Walsh.
