Eight The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Thursday, March 21, 1940 Lucille Meusel Appears With Opera Company Portland, Ore. Lucille Meusel, coloratura soprano of the San Carlo Opera company, with "voice the purest and truest coloratura to be heard today In America" aa the critic of the Chicago Herald and Examiner wrote was one of the young singers who made good with the Chicago Opera company. A native of Wisconsin, the charming young soprano graduated from the Lawrence Conservatory at Apple ton; later won a scholarship to the Chicago Musical college. Her out standing accompli shments won her an engagement by the Chicago Civic Opera. After two seasons with the Chi cago Opera, Miss Meusel went abroad where she spent two years in in tensive study. Before returning to America as a member of the Chi cago Grand Opera company, she had sung in France and Belgium and became leading coloratura soprano of the Royal Opera of Liege, Bel glum, for two seasons. During the 1933-1034 season she was featured In leading roles when she rejoined the Chicago Opera. The following year she became lead ing coloratura of the San Carlo Opera company and has had a sen sational success in every part of the United States and Canada dur ing the transcontinental tours of the company for the past five years. Graceful in appearance and with a voice of pure loveliness, this high ly intelligent actress has a sense of style that is a joy to every experi enced listener, Miss Lucille Meusel will be heard in the role of Violetta in "La Travi- ata," the opening night, March 28, when the San Carlo company ap pears in Portland for a four days' engagement. She will also sing the leading role, Gilda, in "Rlgoletto," the second night. Seats are now on sale for all operas. Grazing Revenues To be Increased The state land board adopted a program Wednesday to Increase revenue from its 700,000 acres of eas tern Oregon grazing lands, the ma jor point being that the board will exchange lands within grazing dis trict for unappropriated, unreserved federal lands outside districts. This will enable the board to create larger blocks so more revenue could be obtained for the common school fund. Some of the grazing lands In the 1 A Any r MfsaW Why Suffer Longer?

The blocks will be recommended by s representative of the federal grazing service and by a new em ploye of the land board, who will be recommended by the division of agriculture at Oregon State col lege. The board also will try to build up the carrying capacity of the range. The state will retain all mineral rights to all Its lands, whether they are leased to private parties or to the government. Income Taxes Beat Estimates Washington, March 21 (Sec retary Morgenthau said today that preliminary estimates of annual in come tax collections were running 31.2 per cent ahead of las.t year and "comfortably ahead" of Pres. dent Roosevelt's budget estimate. The treasury secretary said at a press conference that telegraphic reports from regional collection of fices showed collection of $621, 000,000 of Income taxes in the first 20 days of March, compared with $473,000,000 in the same period last year. March collections are always tli1 biggest for Income taxes because annual returns and at least first quarter installment payments are due on March 15. Morgenthau declined to say by what margin the collections would exceed budget estimates, which are made only on an annual and not a monthly basis, but added that there was "not a chance" of the excess equalling the $400,000,000 of addi tional revenue asked by the presi dent to pay for emergency national defense costs and to help keep the treasury under its $45,000,000, 000 statutory debt limit. Asked whether he still favored new taxes despite comments of leading congressmen that the high er tax collections obviated taxes, the secretary asserted: "In words of one syllable, I stand on the president's message until he changes It." He added that he had no reason to believe that the president would withdraw his request for new taxes.

Holman Asks More Money For Bonneville Washington, March 21 VP) A senate appropriations subcommittee was urged today by Senator Hol man (R-Ore) to increase from the $800,000 voted by the house to $3, 400,000 the 1941 fiscal year appro priation for the Bonneville (Ore.) power plant. The war department civil func tions bill (HR8668) which carries the Item states the appropriation could be used only for installation of the fifth and sixth generating units of the Bonneville project. Holman contended the founda tions for four additional generating units should be laid at the same time the two additional units are Instnlled. Failure to do that, he contended, would force the shutting down of the fifth and sixth genera tors as the remaining units were Installed. "It is estimated that $4,000,000 will be necessary to bring the sub structure of the last four unite to a point where unite (lve and six will not have to be taken out of opera tion when the final installation is made," Holman said. "It will be possible for work to proceed in a satisfactory manner if $2,500,000 is added to the bill for work on the foundations of the last four units. An additional $100,000 should be added to accelerate com pletion of units five and six so that they will be ready for generation of power on January 1, 1041 Instead of sometime in April 1041."
