FAT MAN IN OPERA
Janitor Sans Singing Lessons on
Way to Top of Ladder of Fame
By IIARMAN W. NICHOLS
(United PreM Staff Correspondent!
Washington, Dec. 15 1.R) The fattest Janitor in the world Is
one of the happiest. He's about to go into opera.
John Clark, scholarly principal of Murray vocational high
ichool in Charleston, S. C, was fixing to pass out the report
cards one day when he stopped in his tracks. He heard a fine
baritone voice vigrating the
walls in a stirring rendition of
"The Lor" Prayer."
Clark, who has an ear for
tune, went below and found
360-pound Ralph Sigwald, age
26, steering a broom across the
gymnasium floor and singing at
the top of his lungs.
The professor looked at the
five-by-seven behind the brush,
who was rolling where most
men walk,
"Horace Heidt is coming to
town to look for talent," said
the prof. "How about it if we get
you on the program?"
It took a bit of doing, but be
tween the professor, lite Charles
ton Chamber of Commerce and
the Charleston Evening Post the
young man was talked into it.
Ralph, who never had a sing
ing lesson in his life, went with
the Heidt troupe and finally
worked himself up to the finals,
which will be broadcast from
here Sunday night.
Ralph, wth curly-blond hair
and now affectionately known
as the "Caruso of the south,"
had no family. Miss Frances
Meyer, an aunt, raised him.
Before he was "discovered."
he asked to appear and sing in
a Methodist church in Charles
ton before Clark even knew the
boy was around. At the close of
his concert, he was offered a
small check. He refused. Said
he:
"If God gave me a voice like
this, I can't charge him for sing
ing in his church."

People who have heard Ralph

had no training. As one critic
put it:
"The fat man just puts back
his head and sings."

will get his debut at Carnegie
hall in New York next year.

New Front Porch
Stirs Argument
Seaside, Ore., Dec. 15 U,R)
George La Roche was prepar
ing today to tear off his new
front porch after the city coun
cil agreed to stand pat on an
ordinance requiring homes to be
eight feet from the street line.
La Roche pleaded before the
council after he had construct
ed the porch without the neces
sary permit and after having
been refused a permit by the
city engineer.
La Roche appeared with a pe
tition from 26 property owners
who said they would raise no
objection to his front porch be
ing close to the street.
Councilman George Gray said
"Temporary violation of the
building code was like a reduc
tion in pay. Once it is taken
away you never get it back."

"All the indices, as I see them,
are pointing toward good busi
ness early next year," the secre
tary told a news conference.
Snyder added, however, that
this is the time of year to use
caution in making economic
forecasts.
A highly favorable factor he
said, has been the strong come
back in steel production since
settlement of the strike. The in
dustry is operating at the highest
levels since last May.
In response to a question on
proposals to reduce certain tax
es, Snyder reiterated his past
stand in favor of general ad
justment of "inequities in the tax
structure and said that any
other changes should come after
that.

New Variety
Of Strawberry
Puyallup, Dec. 15 P) A new
strawberry developed in Wash
ington is yellows-resistant and
and promises to out-yield an old
favorite, the Marshall berry, by
50 percent, a researcher report
ed today.
Addressing the western Wash
ington horticultural meeting, Dr.
C. D. Schwartze said the new va
riety, named the "northwest,'
may yield nine tons per acre. It
was developed by him at the
western Washington experiment
station here.
Most strawberries are not
good canners, but Dr. Schwartze
said the "northwest" gives pro
mise of being a good canning
berry. He rated its freezing qual
ity as about on a par with the
Marshall.
Trial plantings have been dis
tributed to growers, the re
searcher said, and fuller reports
of field performance will be
available next year.
He said three varieties, one of
them developed by Dr. J. H
Clarke of Cranguyma Farms,
Long Beach, may have solved
the problem of red stele rootrot.
The resistant varieties are Tem
ple, Sparkle and Fairland. Dr.
Clarke developed the Sparkle
variety.
Dr. D. F. Allmendinger, sup
erintendent of the southwest
Washington experiment station
at Vancouver, told delegates that
raspberry yields could be stepp
ed up 25 to 33 percent by in
creasing the number of canes

Dallas had no vacancy in its

she eloped willingly with him.
The bride, the former Hellen

Des Moines Salesman Francis E.
Byers, 29, of holding her prison

Nebraska to Denver, Colo.
Byers, freed on $3000 bond to
await grand jury action on her
kidnap complaint, denied the
charge and claimed it was insti

objected to their marriage.

Anchorage, Alaska, Dec. 15
(IP) Hopes that searchers may

rose today, even as the people of
Anchorage were preparing a

Pilot Don Sheldon and Trap
per George Blair reported from
Talkeetna, 100 miles north of
here, that they had sighted what
appeared to be "some sort of a
lean-to, collapsed by the wind"
in the Talkeetna mountains.
They said they were unable to
land their plane and investigate,
due to the rough terrain.
Brownfield, father of six chil
dren, has been missing since
Sept. 5. One other member, of
the hunting party, Pat O'Don
nell, survived a 24-day trek
through the wilderness of the
Talkeetna area. O'Donnell was
