Music Lovers React In Somber Tones To Closing Of Metropolitan Season NEW YORK (AP) Music lovers reacted in somber tones to the announced closing of the metropolitan Opera for the 1961 62 season and the cancellation of the Met's annual spring tour. Words like "disgrace" and "ir reparable blow" came from some o the world's greatest opera singers. One appealed directly to President Kennedy to help settle the labor dispute which the Met blamed for the closing. More optimistic patrons of the arts recalled, however, that two other announced cancellations in recent years never went into ef fect. Labor troubles, blamed then too, were subsequently ironed out. In making the announcement Monday, Met General Manager Rudolph Bing said "I see no hope" of saving the 1961-62 sea son. He was gloomy about pros pects for the 1962-63 season.

"We cannot have a season with out these singers," Bing said, adding that as many as two dozen of the more than 100 artists on the roster "already have been lost." Soprano Anna Moffo is known to have made other arrangements for the season, but such operatic lights as Leontyne Price had been holding off in hopes of a settlement. In all, nearly 700 employes including singers, musicians, the chorus, the ballet, the adminis trative and technical staffs and backstage workers are affected.

Hill has ordered a public hearing to be held in Pendleton Aug. 15 on state Highway Department plans for construction of a crossing under the Union Pacific's Pendleton w al ia Walla branch near Weston. The hearing will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the courthouse. Hill said the crossing would eliminate a hazard for 2,000 car other benefits, as against last season's rate of $170.13 for seven performances.

The Met has reached agree ment with 14 other unions. A spokesman for the Musi cians' Union said: "The Met has presented its side. We want to study its statement very care fully. We will then present to the public our side of the story. We ask everyone to suspend judg ment until then." Mezzo soprano Rise Stevens sent a telegram to President Ken nedy, saying: "This is an ir reparable blow to the cultural prestige of our country." Miss Stevens expressed a belief both the Met and the union "would welcome the interest of the White House."
