ACA Blasts
Mathias, Beall
On Voting
The county chapter of the
Americans for Constitutional
action has asked the state’s two
Republicans in Congress to “put
their votes where their mouths
arc.”
, The ACA chapter unleased a
blast last week at Sen. J. Glenn
Beall and Rep. Charles McC.
•Mathias because of Beall's sup
port of a Kennedy administra
tion Mass Transit Bill. Only
five other Republicans in the
Senate supported the $375 mil
lion measure.
The criticism was extended to j
Mathias because of a seeming
ACA expectation that he, too, |
will back the bill when It
reaches the House.
“We expected some degree of
Constitutionality and fiscal re
sponsibility from the Republi- :
cans of western Maryland, but i
it seems they think the voters 1
of Montgomery County aren’t
watching, or else we were kid
ding when we turned out the
lunny-moncy people in the coun
ty last November,” a chapter
spokesman said.
The ACA statement also criti
cized Beall for voting with the
Democrats on the Senate cul
ture fight, and said Mathias
voted "against the wishes of the
vast majority of Montgomery
County voters" in his support
oif a move to expand the House
I\ules Committee.

Money-Making Scheme
Is Nipped By Feds
Six Silver Spring youths who turned coin collecting
into a basement do-it-yourself hobby are now waiting their
turn to appear in County Juvenile Court.
Their three-months pursuit of
independence from the United
States Mint added up to about
;SIOO in “ficticious" quarters,
*(limes, and nickles, and an in
troduction to both the Mont
gomery County Detectives Bu
„reau and the Treasury Depart
iment’s Secret Service.
County police said last week
*they, in cooperation with the
|Secret Service, had concluded
■their investigation into a rash
*of counterfeit coins which have
“been appearing in coin operated
machines in the Silver Spring
area with the apprehension of
the six youths, whose ages
‘range from 15 to 17. All are
l ‘high school students.
' Authorities would say very
ilittle about how the coins were
' made, or what materials were
C ‘used, though a Secret Service
; . agent said their quality was
tlow, though a few were hand
passed to merchants.
- J “These kids were more In
' (crested ill quantity than qual
ify.” the agent said. A real
i quality imitation, he said, would
’probably cost as much or more
-to produce—in terms of mate
trials and man-hours as Its
* face value.

Melinda Lange Is Delegate
To Nat’l Youthpower Parley
Melinda Lange, a Junior at
Poolesvllle High School, was
chosen as a state delegate to
the National Youthpower Con
gress in Chicago, 111. Her trip,
taken during the week of March
2fjth, was achieved by her com
pletion of a book entitled “Food
is Fun,” which was her Youth
power project.
Youthpower is a non-commer-

dal and non-commodity pro
gram sponsored by the food in
dustry . . . from farm to table.
It Is a relatively new organiza-
and the teenagers have been re
leased in custody of their
parents pending a preliminary
hearing before the Juvenile
Court. The maximum penalty
they could have faced under
federal statutes was 15 years,
or $5,000, or both on a charge
of making dies for the coins,
plus five years, or $3,000, or
both, on a charge of passing
counterfeit coins.

Mrs. Scott Ankery and Mrs.

not—really exist.

Homemakers
To Dine on
Tot Luck’
The Wheaton Hills Home
makers Club will hold a pot
luck dinner for just themselves
at the Wheaton Recreation Cen
ter tonight. On the menu will
be baked ham, yams, salad,
green vegetables, rolls, pie and
coffee. Mrs. Ray Delphey is
chairman for the dinner.
The Homemakers Club has an
interesting way of avoiding dup
lications in “pot-luck” in that all
items are put on slips of paper,
once the menu is decided upon,
and members draw for what
ever they are to bring. Thus, no
over abundance in one item to
the slight of another.
The Club will meet Thursday
evening at the new Layhill
Road home of Mrs. Lawrence
Woodwell. The intricacies of
cake decoration will be the sub
ject of that meeting.
At Community Concert
Chinese-Born Singer
Performs Brilliantly
By Ruth Lamm
Sentinel Music Critic
A brilliant recital by bassbari.
tone Yl-Kwel Sze provided a
splendid finale to the current
season of Montgomery County
Community Concerts Friday
evening at the Rockville Civic
Auditorium. Recently heard in
December with the National
Symphony, the Chinese - born
singer presented a program of
rarely-heard works, literally
from all corners of the earth.
In no fewer than six languages
he expressed an enormous
range of musical style, thought,
and emotion.
The excellence of the perform
ance lay not only In the abun
dant vocal capabilities and ob
vious musical Intelligence of Mr.
Sze, but also In the very
strength of his personality
which projected each interpreta
tion with authority. Although
not of tall stature, he is at all
times a commanding figure up
on the stage.
The program’s opening work,
“Hear Me! Ye Winds and
Waves,” from Handel’s opera,
"Scipio,” immediately revealed
the artist’s outstanding powers
of the dramatic. How well he
expressed the utter despondency
in this soliloquy of Caesar im
ploring the elements to bring
him the peace of death. With
beautifully resonant voice and
utmost control he gave full di
mension and meaning to the
long drawn-out, slow-moving
phrases.
For a complete change of mu
sical and emotional pace, Mr.
Sze next offered Purcell’s de
lightfully gay “I’ll Sail upon the
Dog-Star.” All the rapid figura
tions of this most acrobatic
work were tossed off with rare
virtuosity.
The artist’s remarkable ability
for delineation of the inmost
qualities of a work was par
ticularly evidenced in his per
formance of the Six Biblical
Songs, Opus 99, by Dvorak. The
texts and their musical settings
cover a vast spectrum of human
emotions: from anguish to joy,
from introspective prayerful
ness to open exaltation. Em
phasizing fully these distinc
tions, Mr. Sze approached each
new song not only with a dif
ferent attitude of mind, but
Public Fund Drive Launched
By League of Women Voters
Montgomery County’s League
of Women Voters appealed for
civic support of its annual fi
nancial campaign this week in
the face of rising costs brought
about by its extensive public
information program.
In charge of the drive launch
ed Monday and continuing
through May 11 will be Mrs.
Ross Clinchy, of Silver Spring,
assisted by Mrs. Kenneth
Moser, of Bethesda. While mem
ber support accounts for two
thirds of its annual budget, it
was pointed out, the help of ad
ditional citizens is needed to
assure continuance of its full
scale program.

more, with a wholly different
physical posture as well. Trans
formations In his voice quality
further enhanced the contrasts
in textual moods and meanings.
In glorious full voice he de
livered “Sing ye a Joyful song
unto the Lord;’’ in exquisite
sotto voce, “He restoreth my
soul.”
Manifesting a comparable
approach was a group of four
diverse songs by various Rus
sian composers: Dargomlsch
sky, Rachmaninoff, Gretchan
lnoff, and Mussorgsky. Each
one was most sensitively con
ceived and projected as a
significant entity.
Two operatic arias, “Dormiro
sol nel manto ragal,” from
Verdi’s “Don Carlo,” and Metis
tofele’s Serenade from Gounod’s
“Faust,” gave fullest demonstra
tion of all that here is not only
a most distinguished singer, but
a remarkable actor as well.
Providing some lighter mo
ments of the evening was a con
temporary group of musical
settings by American Celius
Dougherty for poems by Robert
Frost, George Dillon, and Wil
liam Blake. The program closed
with a pair of lovely Chinese
folk songs. Responding to en
thusiastic applause, Mr. Sze gen
erously offered three encores.
Throughout the concert, ac
companist Myron Press furnish
ed sympathetic support in a con
sistently fine performance.
