Night Clubs Make Opera Seem Simple By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD iP "I pay my taxes here, so why shouldn't I enjoy living in this country?" thus singing sensation Sergio Franchi explains why he is making America his home.

His taxes are getting higher all the time but he doesn't seem to mind paying. He even admires the honesty of American taxpayers. "In Italy it is different," he said. "There you wear a beard and your oldest clothes when you go to declare your income. You say you earned a million lire last year, and the tax collector immediately figures you earned 10 million.

So you haggle back and forth until you slip some money into his hand. Then he puts you down for one million and everybody is happy." Franchi's career has been snowballing with appearances In Las Vegas and top supper clubs, television dates with Ed Sullivan and Victor Borge, and a Carnegie Hall concert. He was in Hollywood for a Feb. 14 Bob Hope Show on which he sings "Chicago" in Italian (in retaliation for Americans who sing "Arrivaderci, Roma" in English). He indicated he hopes to adopt a more sensible schedule.

No More Commuting At least he won't have to be commuting to his home In England. He is bringing his wife and two children to New York next month. He said he is planning to begin procedures for American citizenship. Franchi was born in Cremona, Italy, then emigrated with his parents to South Africa in 1952. He studied voice and scored success In operas.

But he knew he would have to return to Italy for additional seasoning. He made his debut In Cremona and toured Europe until he landed in England. An appearance on the television show resulted in an RCA-Victor recording contract, and he was on his way. Franchi has no regrets about pursuing the pop field instead of opera. Not Only Money "It's not only the money that I like," he said.

"You're much closer to an audience in a night club, and you get a warmer response. "And singing in the pop field is more of a challenge. Opera is easy. You sing an aria, then you get to rest while the others are singing. Maybe you sing 20 minutes in an evening.

You overact, you show off with a few high notes, and you get by. "But you don't make it in a night club with only a smile. You've got to keep working hard in 15 to 17 numbers, two or three shows a night.

Part of the minor melodrama you will not see on your home screen during the course of the fascinating missile show this Sunday was a small deception played on the Washington press corps during mid-October during the height of the missile emergency.

When the meeting broke up at the State Department and it was decided to go to the White House to confer with President Kennedy, members of the committee jointly decided that to throw newsmen off the track and not have too many top-rank limousines all arriving at the White House at the same time they would ride together in the same auto.
