Judging from lobhv comments last evening, the battle already rages. One furious man literally stomped out first time In 27 years, the Met began its Fall-Winter season with Verdi's "Aida." It was an "Aida" in unfamiliar trappings, with entirely new sets, staging, decor and dances. MODERNS WILL applaud many of the changes.

Full Recovery Seen Now For 'Dead' Woman SAN FRANCISCO UPi Flabbergasted physicians today predicted the complete recovery of Theresa Butler, 60-year-old widow pronounced dead and sent to the morgue six days ago. Mrs. Butler abruptly came out of a five-day coma yesterday, talked coherently and recognized her daughter and Dr. J.

C. Geiger, city-county public, health director. ''From Biomedical information now possible, Mrs. Butler will probably fully recover," Geiger said. LAST THURSDAY, a doctor pronounced Mrs.

Butler dead, presumably from an overdose of sleeping pills. But at the morgue a startled attendant heard a gasp and saw her jaw twitch. She was mshed to the hospital. Until yesterday doctors had feared Mrs. Butler's brain would be damaged from being without oxygen while she appeared to be lifeless.

When pronounced dead, she had no perceptible reflexes, blood pressure, breathing or heartbeat.

India Joins In Plea To Avoid War rr Jar SareitM PARIS India appealed to the Big Four Foreign Ministers today to meet here in secret session at once snd sgree to a ''no-war declaration" as a first step toward making world peace secure. Sir Benegal Rau, India's chief delegate, made the appeal to the United Nations General Assembly. Rau also deplored ths continued exclusion of the Chinese Communists from the UN snd said it would be "unreal" to discuss disarmament in the absence of a country which has one of the most important armies in the world. RAU URGED the Foreign Ministers of the United States, Great Britain, France and Russia get together while they are attending the present Assembly meeting.

Rau said the minimum to be hoped for at such a conference would be a joint four-power promise to settle their disputes by peaceful means. "Once war as a possible solution of any question Is finally ruled out tha minds of those concerned must Inevitably turn to peaceful solutions," Ran said. "And as pesceful solutions emerge, tension will ease and progressive disarmament can be expected to follow." RAU SPOKE after delegates of small nations implored the great powers to make a fresh start toward an understanding before all countries are swept into a third world war. The most fervent appeal was made by Denmark's Foreign Min. later Ole Bjoern Kraft, who asked the leaders of the Soviet Union to grasp "the band extended by the West." Speakers from Colombia, Uruguay and Paraguay pointed out that small nations hsd to pay the price of world war, although only the big powers had the means to start one.

KRAFT TOLD the assembly: "Perhaps it Is of no Importance what a small country say and thinks, hut the small state more than any other feel the anxiety and disquiet of the present day." IT IS A FIGHT that probably will not be resolved, for there seemed equal pleasure among the first nighters to find something bright snd new and daring where they expect only the old. There Is an undeniable fretnne in the scenic effects. The opening set, for Instance, projects I he viewer into the Egypt of pyramids and maasivenesa with a few deft suggestive strokes of scenery. THE NET EFFECT of much of the stsging, however, is to cramp the dancing that provides so much of the overall colorful effect of "Aida" in its most commanding moments. And little of Egypt ran be found in the choreography.

It's frankly closer to a Kentucky hoedown. And one adagio number seems starkly out of place. Time, and opera-goers, will de cide whether the new "Aida" sticks at ths Met. Probably it will, once it jells. THE SINGING, which, after all, is the primary concern, was uniformly up to the Met's high stand ards.

Mario Del Monaco, the handsome, young and new Italian tenor, established himself firmly with the first notes of the beloved "Celeste Aida." The house was -his for the rest of the night. A PERSONAL triumph also was scored by Elena in her debut. She sang an unflaggingly thrilling Amneris. Besides which, the Greek-born Mme. Nikolaidi is good to look at.

The Canadian baritone, George London, also came through his debut with flying colors, singing the difficult role of Amonaaro. Zinka Milanov'a Aida was lovely to listen to. A bit more fire in her notes would help, but her tones are clear and sure. AN INNOVATION' was a nev all-Negro chorus so good it drew some of the cheers from ths stars, which doesn't happen often at the Met. Another Negro girl, Janet Collins, first of her race to become a member of the Metropolitan company, made her debut with the dance troupe.

Finally, of course, there were those, in the audience, at ths bar, and in the corridors, who came to gee and be seen. If there ia any cynic who thinks that New York can't match its beautiful women against any in the world, a Met opening Is a good place to learn how wrong that idea can be. Rubber Pay (Continued From rage One) times. Earlier the board's Review and Appeals committee studied the matter hut passed It on to the full board. WSB ordered oral hearings on the rubber wage case because it feels that the increases sre of "major importance to the country's economy," as one spokesman put it.

I'MON OFFICIALS will argue that the increase must be approved because of the increase in living costs since the last pay boost was negotiated a year ago. One company official said rubber firms will tell the board that standard rates in the industry have followed closely the pay in the auto industry where workers recently were allowed increases.

At the height of Prosperity, In 1929, Schlppacasse and Masino, by methods never publicised, got control of the race wires. All the bookies here had to depend on them.

Snippy not only had his prosperous Hub Cafe on Howard st but, presumably, he and Tony got a cut on the income of every other bookie in Akron. It was not uncomrfion even in the depresaion ridden early 30's for the combine to bank $10,000 in a single day. This came out in the case of a bank official convicted of embezzlement. THE COMBINE was riding high in 1934 when the governmentthat is, the income tax office announced it was going to break up the race wire syndicate In Ohio. Maybe the deaire to break up the syndicate was legitimate, maybe there was something political about it Another ayndl-cate the Continental Press-later took over.

At any rate, they slapped a $1,000,000 suit against Masino and Shippacasse. They said those two had banked $5,000,000 from 1929 through 1932 and never paid more than $100 tax In any one year. The government finally araled down the grab against Maaino to against Shippacasse to $25,000. But neither one of them ever paid anything. THERE WERE NO congrea- sional committees then investigating the Internal Revenue Department and none investigating with benefit of TV the workings of race wire syndicates.
