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.

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."
