is I And Soprano Score Huge Success By CLIFF EDWARDS The Elks male chorus in its seeond spring concert appearance at the high school auditorium day night made another smash hit that will further enhance its well established reputation in the Black Occupying a stellar position in the musical event, Miss Vivian DelChiesa, famed lyric soprano, offered a repertoire of songs that she sang with a warmth that was surpassed only by the a clamorous ovations accorded her at the end of her two appearances. An extra was Miss Della Chiesa's offering of "I Love You Truly," sung with the combined chorus and the girls triple trio from the high school. The male chorus of 60 voices delighted the sell house with its groups selections. It's weeks of diligent practicing under the professional baton of Don Tuttle, was shown by the faultless perfection with which they presented, religious ranging, to from the more contemporary popular melo- dies. Lenten Mood The chorus opened the program with three numbers, How Happy Must He Where'er You Walk, The Heavens Are Telling, that held an appropriate Lenten appeal and set a nice backdrop for Della Chiesa's appearance.

The warm charm and personality that has won lyric singer wide acclaim on stage and radio from coast-to-coast became evident at as her opening Euridice, Invocazione di Orfeo, from by Jacopo Peri. Her voice was sheer perfection, with a fine control and pleasing modulation. She sang with great concentration Les Berceaux, by Faure, that tells the tale of men sail the wide oceans and feel their ships' helms held by the power of their women waiting at home. In Le Papillon, by Fourdrain, the story of the gay, golden butterfly, Miss Della Chiesa gave ample expression of her rich, full bodied voice. She closed her first group of selections with Pace, pace mio dio, from La Forza del Destino, by Verdi, that virtually brought down the house.

After responding to three curtain calls she offered for an encore, Ava Maria, by Schubert. Inspired Inspired by the lyric quality of their guest singer, the Elks chorus put verve and dash into their next three numbers. Soldiers Chorus, by Gounod. My Hero, by Straus-Scotson, and Then I'll Be With Your by Director Tuttle. The execution of these popular old time numbers left little to be desired from a choral group.

They were assisted by the girls triple trio. Following the intermission. Miss Della Chiesa rollicked through five numbers with great expression and versatality. She was brought back for two encores, one of which. Norwegian Dance, by Grieg, was a distinct hit.

The group of five included The Drooping Corn, by Rachmaninoff, One Spring Morning, by Nevin, You Remember, by Levitzki, The Sleep that Flits on Baby's Eyes, by Carpenter, and Robin in the Rain, a manuscript by Gaines, dedicated to Miss Della Chiesa. Old Melodies The old-fashioned melodies written when most of the present generation were youngsters comprised the final closing selections of the Elks chorus. These songs, so happily adapted to choral groups, included Moonlight Bay, Without a Song, and Bells of St. Mary's. For encores the chorus offered By the Light of the Silvery Moon and The Lord's Prayer.

Rhea Shelters was the accompanist at piano for Miss Della Chiesa and Mrs. LaDonna Mechaley accompanied for the chorus. At intermission time Miss Della Chiesa was presented with an arm bouquet of flowers on behalf of the chorus by T. B. Thorson, president.

After the concert she and the chorus were guests at a reception at the Elks lodge rooms. Hospitality The gracious good manners of Miss Della Chiesa captured the hearts of all who had any association with her, appearance here and today, after hours spent in id City, she declared that never before had she encountered "anything like real friendliness and pitality" shown her. "I have a feeling that there no sham among the people out here, and when they say something they mean it. It is so refreshing to find those kind of people after my long tour of the big cities." Miss Della Chiesa said, too, that theh climate appealed to her and that it she were ready to settle down, she would like to "come out here and really live." She expressed a that she could not see disappointment of the Hills--and Deadwood -but added that she hoped she could at some future time. Exciting Miss Della Chiesa said that she had heard much of Black Hills from Chicago newspapermen, and found the history the old Indian frontier days of much interest.

"I should think that an exciting novel could be written about Rapid City," she observed. She left this noon by plane for Norfolk. for scheduled cert Tuesday evening. She was accompanied by Hhea Shelters, who revealed that South Dakota de her "home" state. Mrs.

Shelters, born in lows, lived for many years at Brookings before going to Chicago, where she joined Miss Della Chiesa four years ago.

Rotary Club Anyone who realizes the terrible starvation conditions in Europe today will feel compelled to demand renewed rationing of food this country, declared former Maj. Warren E. Morrell before the Rapid City Rotary club Thursday, in describing his experiences as an allied military government official in France, Germany and Austria dur. ing. the war.

"Americans cannot let 400,000,000 Europeans starve to death," declared Morrell. "Compared to central Europe, the people of our country are actually living in a land flowing with milk and honey. Considerations of humanitarianism compel us; but if that is not a sufficient reason for American action, we must consider the political effect of any failure on our part to relieve the starving millions of Europe. Such a failure will store up bitter hatred for America which might, at some future time, result in grave disaster to us." Morrell described to Rotary the education in this country of allied military government officers, an education which was continued in England before D-day. He described also ills experience as such an officer in France on the heels of the allied invasion, and later in Germany and Austria.

In France it was a case of cooperation with the French people and their officials, and such cooperation on the part of the French was freely given. In Germany and Austria it was a matter of laying down the law with Instant obedience on the part of the people and all enemy officials. In the latter days of the war, the allied military government officers dealt largely with persons released from the infamous detention camps, in the course of which there were hundreds of terribly distressing experiences. The AMG officers also had to handle thousands of displaced persons, care for them, feed them. escort them back in large numbers to the country from which they came.

Visiting Rotarians were Henry P. Holzman of Hill City, C. F. Holliday of Sioux Falls. Other visitors were Art Rice of Denver, Dr.

Charles Hobbs and Dr. Johnson of Brookings, W. C. Wagman, ford Adelstein and Boland, of Rapid City. It was announced that Frank Marion has been elected president of the Rapid City Rotary club for the year beginning July 1.

B. Stahl of Sturgis, under the direction of Behrans mortuary, Rapid City, Grain Stocks In State Lessen Sioux Falls, April 18- (AP) Stocks of the five grains, corn, oats barley, wheat anti rye on farms of South Dakota April 1 totaled 273,000 bushels, or about six percent less than a year earlier, the cooperative crop reporting service said today. Corn, barley and rye was less than a year ago, while wheat and oat stocks were and oats at 101,900,000 bushels were eight percent less than a year ago, but still nearly two and one-half times the 10-year average (1935-1944). Wheat stocks at 17.349,000 bushels, represented 33 percent of the large 1945 crop. Disappearance of wheat (marketed and used on farms where produced) January 1 to April 1 this year totaled slightfrom, ly more than 11 million bushels.

Disappearance in the first quarter of 1945 was 7.769,000 bushels or 30 percent and the average for 1941- 45 was 6,429,000 bushels or 28 percent. Oat stocks at 65.104.000 bushels were the highest for the April 1 date in 21 years of record. The 10- year average is 22,696,000. The 1945 crop was by far the largest on record in the state and April 1. farm holdings represented 44 percent of that crop.

As a percentage of the previous year's crop this is about usual. Disappearance during the past quarter totaled about 34 million bushels, Barley stocks totaled 11,844,000 bushels or 36. percent of the 1945 crop. The farm supply barley was about five percent less than a year earlier and 14 percent less than two years ago. The stocks were at the lowest point in many years, being only 180.000 bushels.

Prices for rye have been high compared with prices for other grains. This combined with comparatively small crops produced in the nation the last two have encouraged farmers in the years and heavy cu current demand country as a whole to market rye, the report said. In South Dakota, farm stocks of this grain have pracItically disappeared. Corn totaled da 36,796,000 bushels compared with 68,406,000 bushels year earlier and the 1935-44 average 18,388,000 bushels. Disappearance of corn during the past quarter amounted to 29,836,000 bushels or 45 percent of the comparatively large January 1 supply.

This may be with a disappearance of 26,606,000 bushels or 29 percent during first quarter of 1945 following the record 1944 crop of corn harvested for grain.

Case Insists On Prompt Attention For Foreign Legion Washington, April 18 -(P) Rep. wants the war department to give prompt attention to his proposal for a multi-nationed U.

S. "foreign legion" similar to the famous French fighting unit. The South wrote Secretary of War Patterton, today asking that he give, his "personal attention" to a to establish a legion men. Recruit in foreign countries. they would serve outside the United States n5 occupation troops.

The bill was introduced by Case this week, and he told a reporter the idea was suggested to him by the history of the French Foreign Legion. Enlistments would be for five years, and Case predicted a force of half a million could be raised easily among displaced persons and unemployed of foreign countries. After, be serving exempted five from years, his man country's immigration quota if he wished to apply for United States citizenship. The foreign nationals would be encouraged to rise to noncommissioned, warrant, and junior commissioned ranks, but officers of the rank of major and above would be of the regular U. S.

army. PRESIDENT, (From Page One) ment in getting wheat off the farms into ships for export. For Plan "I am strongly for this plan. It is carefully drawn to safeguard the interests of the wheat growers. Now that it has been adopted, I ask farmers who hold wheat and all grain, to give cooperatives their and individual other hand- and collective help in making it work practice to produce the actual wheat that is so deeply needed.

All those give that help will earn the gratitude of hungry people in many lands." British, Canadian and U. S. representatives on the combined food board met yesterday but failed to agree on what each country should do to provide more wheat and flour for relief feeding. Secretary of Agriculture Anderson has ready an order to cut American supplies flour 25 percent, but he is withholding his signature pending further efforts of the three countries to agree on joint relief efforts. Major Burden The American government is taking the position that the major burden is falling upon this country and that Canada and Great Britain could contribute more than they have offered.

It is the official view here that both Britain and Canada could cut deeper into their reserves and reduce their own consumption further. Meanwhile, as the White House announced that President Truman will discuss the crisis in a radio address at EST (6:15 food, CST) tomorrow night, the chief executive's famine emergency committee called upon the government to adopt still more rigid food conservation measures. The committee headed by former war food administrator, Chester Davis released. with Mr. Truman's approval, a letter of recommendations it sent to the White House April 9.

Inadequate The letter declared that present voluntary measures are inadequate and said existing price control regulations are causing excessive feeding of grain to livestock. It urged the government to hike ceiling prices on corn and by-product protein feeds an action which, the committee said, would curtail livestock feeding and thereby make more grain available for food for the hungry abroad. There was no immediate indication whether any action will be taken on the corn price recommendation. Urging immediate adoption of the proposed flour restriction order, the famine committee declared the government's voluntary program under which consumers are asked to eat 40 percent less, wheat products will not save as much as had been expected. Other steps the committee urged include requirements for closer trimming of meat to save fat, a ban on the use of edible tallow and oleo oils in soap making and a priority system for makers of farm machinery and parts.

STATE DEPARTMENT (From Page One) graphs was reported to Washington by the American embassy at Tehran. A state department ment said: "Notification will not be given to foreign correspondents, when their dispatches nor will they be given an opportunity by the ministry to make changes or to discuss such suspensions of their dispatches xx." The start of the censorship was 80 tight, the embassy told the state department, that reporters were not even allowed to inform their home offices. The correspondents in Iran include representatives of the sociated Press, New York Times. Chicago Tribune, United Press, Chicago Daily News and Time magazine. DEVELOPMENT (From Page One) some years rainfall is ample to produce bumper crops, while in other years crops are nearly a complete failure.

Because of this variation in the annual need for irrigation water, some modification of the ual irrigation distribution system and schedules of water delivery will be necessary. And this, in turn, will call for modifications in organization and repayment schedules, the report said. Changes "Development of irrigation will make it necessary to modify farm organizations, crop rotations, and frequently ownership tenure arrangements. New machinery and equipment will be needed and new technical knowledge and practices For Perk up that last year's shirt with a Brand New TIE from CROCKETT'S Beautiful selection of blocked prints, woven foulards, club stripes and hand-woven wools. $1 $1.50 $2 MORT CROCKETT MEN'S SHOP will have to be rearned," it continued.

The department asserted that balanced development of the water resources will result in benefits to other segments of the economy that are probably greater than the benefits to to farmers, SO "farmers in the areas to be irrigated should not be required to carry more than their reasonable share of the cost of such development." The report pledged the department to speed up its investigational planning activities, commensurate with the basin-wide scope and tempo of the job. Some problems to which the department directed the inter committee's attention: Misuse 1. a Land misuse leading to excessive run-off, erosion, siltation of lands, streams and reservoirs, poorly drained areas and other hazards. 2. Lack of adjustment of farm enterprises to land capability and other natural environmental factors.

3. Economic maladjustments such as in tenure, size of units, adjustment of production to demand and problems of farm finance. 4. Displacement of farm families by the use reservoir to be and made other of construction; ervoir sites subject to intermittent inundation; and readjustments in local public services and tax reventes occasioned thereby. 5.

Inadequate knowledge of the long-range effects of types of land use and step ultimately needed to keep the basin economy on an even keel. 6. Unfulfilled rural welfare needs such as adequate health facilities and services, recreational facilities, adequate home economles, school and transportation facilities. Cooperation The department pledged itself to cooperate with state, federal and local agencies in ascertaining the best use of lands within the basin and in disseminating timely information to rural people on individual, community and -wide problems and their solution. Members of the committee are Maj.

Gen. Lewis A. Pick, Omaha, Missouri division engineer, U. S. army engineers; H.

CLOSED SESSION (From Page One) On the other side, Mexican Foreign Minister Francisco Castillo was scheduled to take the floor again to attack the position taken by Stettinius. Mexico, along with France, vigorously supported Poland's move against the Franco regime yesterday. The Polish position was set forth by Lange in an hour-long speech in which he charged that the co government originally was a creature of nazi Germany and fascist Italy, that it served in wartime as an active axis partner and that it now has "caused a state international friction by compelling the French republic to close her borders with Spain by massing troops on the borders of France." He declared that Franco Spain was a "dangerous remnant of the axis" and that it was a definite threat to international peace.

Refuge "The Franco regime has allowed the territory of Spain to become a refuge of German assets, for German personnel and for German seientists engaged in pursuits dangerous for the peace of mankind," Lange asserted. To support this claim. he said there some indications of zi scientific efforts to carry on at- BABY YOUR CAR ITS YOUR TRADE -IN BRING IT "HOME" FOR SERVICE Your Ford Dealer Ford -Rapid City, S.

One of the 12, Paul Price of the McCoy community, brought out alive died shortly thereafter at Radford Community hospital, Local Motorists And New Parking Meters Clicking Local 1 motorists "catch on fast." city police have discovered. After giving Rapid City motorists a day or two to get used to the new parking meters installed in a four -block downtown testing zone, police are now poised to hand out regular parking violation tickets to those who insist upon ignoring the meters or the parking lines. But, If the traffic officers had to buy bread with the collected thus far from meter violations, they would starve to death in short order.

The department reported this that. "absolutely no afternoon trouble" had been encountered in that respect. The only difficulty known to have cropped up even during the first hours of meter operation--was when several motorists became careless about parking between the allotted lines at the correct angle.
