But Tuesday night's opening of the Metropolitan Opera season, its 67th, may cause more commotion than have any opening night hijinks of the past.

The commotion is going to rage those who want their opera among, streamlined. For the 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. Most everyone will admire the effort and imagination put into the retouching by Margaret Webster, who staged it, Rolf Gerard who contributed the decor and costumes, and Zachary Solov, who did the choreography. But traditionalists will find much of it hard to take.

Judging from lobby comments last evening. the battle already rages. One furious man literally stomped out after the second act, announcing to all within earshot that he simply would not have it. "All that is left of Verdi is his sputtered the man, "the rest is Broadway." Broadway, in AF Plane Missing, 36 Aboard Foul Weather Bogs Hunt For C-82 In France LYON, France (U.P.) A fleet of 30 U.

Korea- -United Nations forces recaptured a hill on the western front they had yielded last night after killing or wounding hundreds of attacking Chinese Reds. No opposition was met in the latest push.

The Reds were badly battered in their attack last night that they apparently pulled back to their own lines before dawn.

Two more Communist infantry attacks elsewhere on the Western front were repulsed today.

ON THE central front, a UN patrol pushed to the northern edge of the no man's land city of Kumsong, 29 miles North of the 38th Parallel, and dispersed A Communist platoon in a brief fight.

Geiger, city-county public director. "From all, medical 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.

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 uncommon even in the depression ridden early, 30's for 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 government -that is, the income tax office -announced it was going to break up the race wire syndicate in Ohio. Maybe the desire to break up the syndicate was legitimate, maybe there was something political about it. Another syndicate--the Continental Press later took over.

any rate, they slapped $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 scaled down the grab against Masino to against Shippacasse to $25.000. But neither one of them ever paid anything. THERE WERE NO congressional committees then investigating the Internal Revenue Department and none investigating with benefit of TVthe workings of race wire syndicates.

At those tax hearings, Masino said Schippacasse handled the firm's finances.

this instance, apparently was an epithet, IT IS A FIGHT that probably will not be resolved, for there seemed equal pleasure among the first nighters to find something bright and new and daring where they expect only the old. There is an undeniable freshness in the scenic effects. The opening set, for instance, projects the viewer into the Egypt of pyramids and massiveness with a few deft suggestive strokes of scenery. THE NET EFFECT of much of the staging, 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 can be found in the choreograpby.

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

Mario Del Monaco, the some, young and new 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 Nikolai 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 Amonasro. Zinka Milanov's Aida was lovely to listen to. A bit more fire in her notes would help, but, her tones are clear and AN INNOVATION was a ne'v all-Negro chorus so good it drew some of the cheers from the stars, which doesn't happen often at the Met. Another Negro girl, Janet Collins, first of her race to become a member the Metropolitan company, made her debut with the dance troupe. Finally, of course, there were those, in the audience, at the bar.

and in corridors, who came to see and be seen. If there is 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 Page One) times. Earlier the board's Review and Appeals committee studied the matter but passed it on to the full board. WSB ordered oral hearings on the rubber wage case because it feels that the increases are of importance to the country's economy," as one spokesman put it.

UNION OFFICIALS will argue that the increase must be approved because of the increase in living costs since the last pay boost was negotiated a rear 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. IF THE WSB approves the wage hikes for workers in the Big Four plants, it is expected also to approve similar raises for producworkers in other plants. The WSB has before it applicationa for pay raises for workers at General Tire Rubber Seiberling Rubber Co. and a number of others.

Besides, the board has still to decide pay raises negotiated by the unions with Quaker Oats Co. and Ohio Edison Co. These may be decided soon after the board makes up its mind on the rubber pay issue. over. his cafe.

He never took another bet, at least not there. EDDIE WAS short and, in later life, a rotund man. He outwitted or outbought the opposition.

Sir Benegal Rau, India's chief delegate, made the appeal to the United Nations General Assembly. Rau also deplored the continued exclusion of the Chinese Communists from the UN and said it would be "unreal" to discuss disarmament in the absence of country which has one of the most important armies in the world. RAU URGED the Foreign Ministers of the United States, Great Britain, while France and Russia get together they are attending the present mAstembly, meeting. Rau said the for at such a conference would be a joint four-power promise to settie their disputes by peaceful means.

"Once war as A possible solution of any question is finally ruled out, the minds of those concerned must inevitably turn to peaceful solutions," Ran said. "And AS peaceful 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 before all countries a third understanding, world war. The most fervent appeal WAS made by Denmark's Foreign MinIster Ole Bjoern Kraft, who asked the leaders of the Soviet Union to grasp "the hand extended by the West." Speakers from Colombia, Uruguay and Paraguay pointed out that small nations had to pay the price of world war, although only the big powers had the means to start one.
