WP) A packed Carnegie hall audience gave Margaret Truman an enthusiastic ovation last night, and tha music critics though she was wonderful. But they didn't think her voice was quite as pleasing as she was. The president's daughter, making ' her New York debut was accompanied by Frank Black's orchestra. A soprano, Miss Truman sang several Christmas songs includ ing "Silent Night" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem." Also on the program: "America" and a puccinl aria, "O Mlo Babbino Caro." The critics praised Miss Tru man for her poise and personal ity. But some didn't think much pf her singing voice. -s Said Virgil Thomson ot the New York Herald Tribune: "Miss Truman herself presents surely a greater personal than musical distinction. ' Commenting on her good looks, he said few artists "have Miss Truman's physical advantages, and almost none other has her dignity." - : Robert Roleman, of the New York Dally Mirror, said Miss Truman "has poise and an in gratiating manner."

It is a light and pleasant voice, which would have been set off to better advantage with a piano or small orchestral accompaniment," Howard Taubman, of the New York times, said, . .it seemed a pity that she was' not asked to sing more." ". , .what she sang was hardly a searching test of her capacity." Judging from what she did sing, added Taubman, "one would say she has been working hard." Douglas Watt, of the New York daily news, said Miss Truman sang "with - tremendous concen tration of her task." Metropolitan opera tenor Lau ritz Melcholr, on hand for the concert, said Miss Truman "has the goods," but "you can't ex pect her to be a Melba right off."
