LOS ANGELES IS Impressario Gambles $500, 000 in Contracts for Next Season, But Fans Remain Cold and Indifferent. By Leo Baron (United Preaa Staff Correspondent) LOS ANOELES, (UP) A ym phony orchestra playing "Tiger Rag" would be guilty of nothing short of heresy, but L. E. (Bee) Behymer, Impressario of opera here, la pub licly chanting the blues these days. With half a million dollars worth of opera talent undor contract, Behy mer la worrying about the prospects for next season. And dismal pros pects they appear, too. The infidelity of opera fans, the high cost of big names, the radio, the movies, the unions and last, but by no meana least, the conflicting dates of eastern schedules, have com bined to make his life pretty un pleasant. Dislike Local Talent Los 'Angeles opera-goers' aversion for local talent la trouble No. 1 for Behymer. That means big names must be imported - and - big names cost money. John Charlea Thomas for Instance, Beyhmer points out, would and does perfer "Blank's Cough Syrup" at 5,000 a broadcast for 26 weeks on the air than 1.250 a concert he could earn In Los Ang eles. ' The movies also have played no little part In harassing the opera here. An oboe player will find It more profitable to make sound effects for Blng Crosby's newest picture than to oiow nis Instrument with the poor struggling Philharmonic orchestra. The unions? Behymer's answer to that Is that it cost him 1,148 more for musicians during a two-day run of "Emperor Jones" here this season than It did In San Francisco. (Inmblcd $500,000 But with all these handicaps, Behymer has gambled 1500,000 In grand opera contracts for next seas on which tentatively Is scheduled to open October 3 and continue until October 10 or 12. Some of the artiste able and willing to appear Include Ezlo Plnza, barl tone-basso; Ellzaboth Rathborg, soprano; Ninon Vallln, premier soprano of Prance; Mario Chamlee, tenor; Market Wlndhelm, tenor; 'Alfredo Oandolfl, baritone; Richard Crooks, tenor. . .

(UP) While it expects the number of vacationists who "See America First" to Increase 30 per cent this year the foreign travel division of the American Auto mobile association also believes lower coats, special rates and economically planned tours ' will' mean a 10 to 15 per cent boost In the number of na tives who travel abroad. In ft survey conducted by the A. A. A. division, It was disclosed that the number of passports Issued through April was 13 per cent above last year, with applications still pour ing in. Also, since January 1. the division has handled 30 per cent more cars destined for foreign lands. ' Special Tours Compensating Influences such as lower steamship, rail and hotel rates and a great variety of economically. ends," to organize for a state-wide campaign for prohibition, to be car ried into every voting precinct. "A big vote for prohibition Is not only right but profitable," will be the rallying cry of the drive. planned special tours, It was ex plained, have more than offset de-; valuation of the dollar In terms of certain European currency. Steamship rates are said to be at the lowest level since 1926, while the cost of transporting automobiles aboard fast liners has been reduced 40 per cent. Those who prefer to travel through foreign lands by rail will find un usually low rates In effect In vir tually every country. Germany has reduced Its rail fares for tourists 60 per cent; Prance Is offering round trip tickets for week ends or longer at a 30 per cent reduction; and Brit ain, Holland and other countries have made drastic cuts in rail va cation travel costs. Hold Kates Lower Hotel rates In all principal cities abroad, It was said, average 30 per cent lower than In 1026. Conducted tours are priced lower this year than they were In 1030, and a tour which cost $795 four years ago would cost 9503 today. TO BEAM1EPEAL 80,000 Members Christian Temperance Churches Who Neglect to Vote Will Be Urged to Go to Polls LINCOLN, Neb. (UP) Dry forces of Nebraska, recognized as a stronghold of prohibition beiore enactment of the 18th amendment to the federal ! constitution, will be mobilized to de feat a movement fof repeal of state prohibitory laws, R. P. Hutton, state superintendent of the Anti-saloon league has announced. Voters of the state will pass upon a proposal for state repeal at the general election in November. Urges Dry Voters On j "If the 80,000 members of the Nebraska Christian temperance churches who habitually neglect to vote can be gotten to the polls this fall, whisky will not be legalized In Nebraska," Hutton predicted In his annual report. , "If these voters sit at home, whisky Joints will open up along the paths of youth; solicitors will hunt them down In their homes," the militant dry declared. Hutton assured Nebraskans it will be a good advertisement for this state If a big vote in favor of pro hibition is polled. Attract Attention Such action would attract here desirable settlers and enterprises," he said, "But we couldn't be bad. enough to be conspicuous, no matter how hard we tried. And to be hopelessly average Is to be helplessly lost. He urged Nebraska and Kansas, heart of the "Bible Belt" to be con spicuously righteous and conspicu ously sober. Hutton proposed that a state meet ing of church leaders, women's club heads and temperance organizations be held "sometime before the month PORTLAND, June 16.
