But few of the stars ever do any- thing about it. Lauritz Melchior is the excep- tion. The king-size tenor is em- barking on a new and different kind of concert tour, designed both to do business and supply an audi- ence for a_ half-dozen aspiring young singers. Melchior and company will mo- tor to 100 towns throughout the Eastern and Southern U. S. The trouple will present a varied musi- cal menu—“from the smorgasbord to the sweets”—with the design of pleasing all tastes. Over a stein of beer at his mountaintop home, Melchior ex- plained the reasoning behind the and subjects of local or general interest, but it will not publish upper Wylk's “For one thing, I think television lub : £ Key West’s Newest and Largest Supper Club RENOVATED AND RE-DECORATED PRESENTS NIGHTLY ANN DENNIS — Singing Star of Rosalind, Polonnaise and Madame Du Barry ANGELINA AND FRANCISCO AL ROBINSON AND HIS LITTLE PAL ALKALI IKE GLORIA LEE — Montreal’s Gift to Key West MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS BY LES ROHDE MUSIC FOR DANCING NIGHTLY DINNERS FROM 5 P.M. to5 A.M. NEW SHOW LOBSTER © COVER OR MINIMUM TO 10 P.M. EVERY MONDAY has brought a complete change in the concert field. I helieve the time has passed when one artist accom- panied by one piano can stand on a bare stage and entertain an audience for two hours. People expect more than that. “But the bigger reason is that I feel it is time that someone did something to find an audience for the many fine young voices we have in this country. I think it is tragic that there is virtually no opportunity for a new artist to be heard. “What opportunity is there? The Metropolitan ‘has a season of 20 weeks. A young singer would make about $125 a week there. And he never knows until a month before the season whether he will be engaged. “There are a few other opera companies. Some of them charge a young singer $5,000 for the privi- lege of singing a leading role! A newcomer knows he stands no chance for success unless he be- comes a crooner. “It is the same with composers. They know they have no audience |for serious works; so they write thin, ard.’”* The singer added that the Euro- Peans make more provision for young talent. “Take my native Denmark,” he remarked. “It has just over four million people, but it has a Royal Opera House, plus ample time for like ‘Open the Door, Rich- | | serious music on the radio and TV. Each town has its own opere. Promising singers are rewarded by the state. I was paid a full opera salary for a year while I was studying and changing from bari- tone to tenor.” Melchior favors state assistance |for young artists and culture in general. The program could be paid for by tax stamps on all TV and radio sets, he suggested. The Melchior company is start- | ing its tour uniquely. The first date | is in a night club—the Sahara in Las Vegas. But he hastened to add | that he picked the spot because it has a theater stage, and no food or drink will be served during the hour’s concert, Here are the youngsters who will }|accompany him: Edward Wil- liams, Dallas, Tex.; Michael Pe- ters, New York City; Shirlee Em- mons, Stevens Point, Wis.; Ange- \ line Collins, Dallas; Val Valente, !| Charleston, W. Va. 5 “All of them have won prizes and scholarships,” said Melchior, their biggest booster. “But they have had no gtr to display their wonderful. veic@® If we could | build up the audiences, America can produce voices as great or greater than Carus: New Cowhand Is A She Critter CHICAGO — Smile, pardner, and watch your language, when you bring your cattle to Chicago's big stockyards. Efforts To New ‘Death Dust’ Bomb By FRANK CAREY WASHINGTON (#—Could it be that the atomic scientists will turn next to a ‘‘death dust” bomb, now that work on the hydrogen bomb appears to be in the home stretch? President Truman, in his State of the Union message yesterday, made clear the H-bomb effort is at least well in hand and he said, “We have no reason to think that the stage we have now reached in the release of atomic energy will be the last.” “We are being hurried forward . « » from one discovery to an- other,” he said. The “death dust” bomb is a fear- some device, which scientists say is theoretically possible, in which the tremendous explosion of a hy- drogen bomb would also be used for this purpose: Converting a material wrapped around the bomb itself into a radio- active poison that would then be carried by the wind over an exten- sive area of the bombed country. Ordinary cobalt has been mé tioned as a possibility for such a wrapper material. Truman made no reference to such a weapon in his message. But his words about the H-bomb leave ground for speculation that scien- tists may even now be of bizarre variations of the awesome weapon. The poison dust from a hydrogen- cobalt bomb would be deadly to men if they inhaled or swallowed enough of it. And, many among the living might suffer genetic ef- fects, possibly affecting their abil- ity te reproduce, or resulting in defective offspring. Japan May Pay War Reparations TOKYO (#—The newspaper Asahi said that Japan intends to pay between $200 million and $300 mil- lion in war reparations to the Philippines and four other claim ant nations in Asia. There was no confirmation from the government, but Asahi said its information came from a source--unnamed--close to the gov- ernment. Asahi reported reparations in goods and services would be paid over a five-year period with about two-thirds of the total going to the Philippines. Other claimants are Indonesia, Burma, Vietnam and Cambodia. Iffgrease'or spilled juices eatch fire in the oven, throw salt or flour on it-- never water.

A cowgirl, but definitely not an old cowhand, is riding herd on the cows, steers and bulls. She’s the first woman cowhand in the 87-year history of the yards. But there may be more women cowhands, says the Union Stock- yard and Transit Compnay, which operates the yards. The manage- ment said it is mighty proud of its first feminine cowhand, Mrs. Phy- llis Long. Mrs. Long, 32-year-old brunette, took her job without any experi- ence with animals--unless you want to consider that she raised two ducks in the bathtub of her apart- ment. She has been a truck driver and the management at the yards figured that if she could drive a truck she could drive cattle.
