WASHINGTON. May 14—(—
The likelihood of renewed ration-
ing for famine relief in the near
future took a sharp drop today,
with former President Hoover
counseling against action on the
subject until the world harvests
this year’s crops.
& Back from a global survey of
fungry nations, Hoover said he
thought it too early for a decision
on rationing, because he had hopes
the world food production will be
better than anticipated, with a con
sequent lessening of the famine
emergency.
The survey report which Hoover
brought back with him drew warm
approval from President Truman
and Secretary of Agriculture Clin
ton P. Anderson—a fact which in
fluenced food experts in reaching
their conclusion that rationing
would keen out of the picture at
least for the present.
These experts, who would
not be quoted directly, were of
the opinion that the country’s
famine relief efforts until har-
vest will continue to be con-
fined to voluntary food con-
servation and government re-
tion program outlined in March
by President Truman’s famine
emergency committee.
That program called upon Amer-
icans to eat 40 percent less wheat
products and 25 percent less fats
during the current emergency. In
addition, the government has re-
duced civilian flour supplies 25
percent and has restricted use of
wheat for livestock feed.
Hoover scheduled a meeting
with the famine committee today
and a talk at Chicago Friday night.
Both are expected to produce ap-
peals for broader consumer adher
ance to the voluntary program.
The former president’s chief ob-
jective in going to South America
will be to get that hemisphere to
join the United States in curtail-
ing consumption of cereals.
'Hoover said he saw no evi-
dence of mass starvation in his
35,000-mile survey of 22 coun-
tries in Europe, Africa and As-
but he emphasized that mil-
"lions might starve if present
famine relief assistance end-
ed.
In his report, Hoover outlined
a general supply program for def-
icit areas through Sep- A
tember 30. While m
trimming requests of "
many areas, he re- ′
parted that supplies available for
export between now and the end
of September will be 3,600,000 tons
short of minimum needs. Areas to
suffer most from this deficit will
be China and India.

“Opera lovers are living on the

of Europeans," he said. “People
who produced a Verdi opera were
willing to take a financial loss two
or three times before it finally
“took hold” and became popular.
The commentator who is heard
weekly during the season by an
a”erage of 10,000,000 radio listen-
ers, was enthusiastic about the
fact that years ago the "Met" could
boast only a handful of Amreican

The genial supervisor of the
New England conservatory of mu
sic opera school, who flies to New
York weekly for the Saturday af-
ternoon broadcasts, said in an in-
terview that unless the pay-as-you-
go basis by which operas are pro-
duced is sbolished, no new operas
will be written.
"It takes a year for a composer
to write an opera," he said, “and
he’s never sure it will be produc-
ed.”

For the newcomer to opera lis-
tening Goldvosky suggested five
“opera peaks" from which the ter-
ritory could be surveyed. They
were:
1. Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro.
2. Bizet’s Carmen.
3. Verdi’s Aida.
4 Wagner’s Maestersingers.
5. Mussourgsky’s Boris Goud-
onov.
Brazilianite, a yellow-green min-
eral recently found in Brazil, is the
first mineral with gemlike prop-
erties discovered since 1909.
He said Richard Hindemith’s
“Marthis dar Maler," an “import-
ant opera” that never has been
heard anywhere because it would
be too expensive for any private
company to produce, was an exam-
ple of what is happening to opera
in general. Excerpts from the
Hindemith pieces have been heard
and widely acclaimed, he said.

“The idea of government-sub-
sidized opera,” he said, “is not so
radical. Just as public libraries
are considered cultural necessities
—so opera will be—in the next 15
years perhaps. The taxpayers even-
tually will discover their need and
pay—whether the majority of peo-
ple go to see opera or not.”
Goldovsky cheerfully cited both
San Francisco and St. Louis as
cities where opera now receives
public support. He also included
the New York City music center
