He studied with Adam Didur at the Lwow Conservatory in Poland, and made his debut as Baltasare in "La Favorita" (Donizetti) at the Lwow Opera in 1937.

John Bell Williams, a Democrat who fought his party in Congress for 20 years, today celebrated a landslide victory for the governor's office over spirited Republican opposition by issuing a call for peace and harmony. The 48-year-old attorney, purged of his seniority in Congress for backing Republican Barry Goldwater for president in 1964, smothered GOP candidate Rubel Phillips in Tuesday's general election turnout. With 1,943 of the state's 2,115 precincts reporting, Williams had 293,188 votes to 113,375 for Phillips.

Voters in predominantly Negro Holmes County apparently named the first Negro to the legislature since the Reconstruction era. Robert Clark, an independent running with the backing of the Negro-dominated Mississippi Freedom Democratic party, defeated Rep. J.P. Love, 65, on the basis of unofficial returns. Love has served in the House since 1956.

The number of Negro office holders in the state rose to 24 with the election of six others, two each winnipg posts as county supervisors, constables and year elections which gave the GOP Kentucky's governorship and New Jersey's legislature. In another race-tinged contest for mayor, Boston voters rejected the backlash-oriented cam Sine paign of Louise Day Hicks. In Gary as in Cleveland, the mathematics of race was the crucial factor.

Bliss saw in the election returns evidence "that the upsurge in Republican strength which began in 1966 is continuing." Democratic Chairman John M. Bailey said he discerned no trend at all. Democrats reclaimed the mayor's office in Baltimore, and held Philadelphia's City Hall despite internal discord and a stern GOP challenge. On the GOP balance sheet, the Kentucky victory of Louie B.
