Soprano Wrests Triumph at First Night Showing of New York U.R Manhat tan-born soprano Maria Meneng- hini Callas wrested a third act triumph Monday night from a hard-to-win opening night audi ence of international celebrities who paid a record S75.510 to witness her long-anticipated de but at the Metropolitan Opera. 10-MinuU Ovation For the first two acts of Bel lini's grueling opera "Norma" the statuesquely beautiful prima donna of La Scala of Milan man aged to elicit only polite ap plause from her audience. Then, after a technically thrilling third act duet with contralto Fedora Barbieri, she shared a 10-minute ovation studded with coveted shouts of "bravissima." As Mme. Callas took repeated curtain calls with Miss Barbieri, she won the hearts of Met fans by bestowing a kiss on Miss Bar bieri' cheek. Thus she laid to rest the legend of the temper amental, two-fisted Callas who had a sharp elbow when it came to sharing acclaim with a sister singer. The reputation of Mme. Callas, the daughter of Greek immi grants, made for herself abroad and at the Chicago Opera last year was responsible for the biggest demand for 3,612 open ing night seats in the Met's 72- year history. For the first time. the house was sold out to reg ular subscribers, who have first crack at first night seats, before any tickets could be offered for public sale.

Vessel in Distress Off Newfoundland New York ;U.R) Rescue ves sels and aircraft rushed to aid a German freighter in distress off the Newfoundland coast, the Coast Guard reported today. The freighter Helga sent out an SOS for immediate aid Mon day night because of damage caused by heavy seas. It gave its position about 400 miles east southeast of Cape Race, New foundland. A Coast Guard plane based at Argentia, Nfld., reported it was circling the area and had asked the Helga to fire flares to spot its position. ' Metropolitan emeralds and rubies jostled each other for a glimpse of the blonde grandmother Morse Favors UN Probe in Hungary San Francisco (U.R) Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), a mem ber of the Senate foreign Re lations committee, believes the United Nations should investi gate the Hungarian revolt.' Morse said Monday the Unit ed Nations should send a team to Hungary to determine whether Russia violated that country's rights of self-determination. He suggests the United States should propose sending such a team in the General As sembly. Such a proposal, he said, would do much to keep Russia on the defensive "in the 100 year cold war." Morse also criticized the Re publican administration for try ing "in every crisis to go around the United Nations, instead of through it." Morse is a candi date for reelection. "The last thing Russia wants now is a hot war." he said, "but we must do everything possible to keep Russia on the defensive and off-balance." Europeans View Oregon Politics Portland U.f) Oregon's political scene is being viewed this week by 12 European jour nalists who are touring the country to witness the American method of electing its leaders. The group arrived in Port land yesterday and will spend five days in the state.- The tour is being sponsored by the gov ernmental Affairs Institute and the State Department. The journalists today were scheduled to visit the University of Oregon campus, a Cottage Grove newspaper and take in an As Advertised in JOUR1VAL LADIES' HOME Special Formula BREAD r- 7 V Survey Shows 2nd Highest (Editorial Note: This is thi first in a series of articles on fluoridation, being published in cooperation with the Amer ican Dental association and the Jackson County Dental as sociation. Residents of Med ford will vote next Tuesday on fluoridation of city water.) The average 16-year-old child in Jackson county has 14.5 teeth which are decayed, missing or filled, according to a survey taken here in January, 1955, by Dr. D. M. Hadjimarkos of the University of Oregon dental school. A recent state - wide survey showed that Jackson county has the second-highest rate of tooth decay of any county in the state. The decay rate here is only .1 per cent less than in Clatsop county the county in which the highest decay rate was noted. Springfield, Ore., with an esti mated population of 10,807, has the highest rate of decay of any town in the whole United States. Survey Taken In Portland, a survey among 13-year-old children indicated 3 per cent were free of tooth de cay; 17 per cent had complete dental care; 30 per cent had never been to dentists; and 50 per cent had been to dentists but were still in need of dental work. The high rate of tooth decay among Medford children indi cates a great need for a fluori dated water supply, according to Dr. J. P. Dickson, Medford den tist. "In fact," he said, "If all persons needing dental care were to seek it, dentists could care for only one-fifth of the needs. Also, if decay were to stop at this mo ment, it would take the present manpower of dentists 30 years to completely catch up." Dental Expense The average yearly dental ex pense for each child in Medford under 15 years of age is S58.96, according to a recent survey of five Medford dentists by the Jackson County Public Health association. This can be con trasted with the estimated flu oridation cost of 47 cents a year for each person in Medford. Several leading dental experts began experimenting with fluor idation in 1945 in two commun ities of New York. In Newburgh, N.Y., an ounce of fluoride was added to every 3,125 gallons of drinking water. In Kingston, N. Y., no fluoride was added. Before the experi ment, thousands of children in each community were given in addition to dental examinations, searching examinations of blood, bones, tissues and organs to pro vide a base line. Decay Reduction Ten years later, the children in Newburgh were found to have an overall reduction in tooth- decay of 58 per cent as com pared with children in Kings ton. There was no evidence that fluoridation had any effect on internal organs, kidneys, ar teries, bones, thyroid, hearing or acne. The experiments have since spread over the nation. Through the studies, the experts have de termined fluoridation can pro tect an individual against tooth decay for his entire lifetime. Though it will not treat de cay that has already started, it will affect the enamel of the teeth, making them resistant to decay. Children who drink fluoride-bearing water from birth will receive the greatest benefit. Oakridge address by Sen. Wayne Morse.

Mmtm I KINDS t County Has Tooth Decay This is because the enamel of most of their teeth forms during the first eight years of life. Older children will receive some pro tection against tooth decay, but in lesser proportion than younger ones. Adjustment Necessary The recommended formula is one part fluoride to 1,000,000 parts of water. This Is equivalent to 1 250th of a drop in a ordin ary drinking glass of water. Flu oridation simply means "replace ment or a natural decay-preventing substance found in some community water supplies but missing in others. Since water in Medford has too little fluoride content to prevent tooth decay, the water supply would have to be adjusted to the point where children can have maximum protection.

(U.R) Thomas E. Dewey told some 5,500 Republicans Monday night the Democratic party has "made a science of the slick art of double talk." The two-time presidential can didate and former governor of New York told an East Tennes see GOP rally that Stevenson "is talking badly on both sides of every issue." Stevenson "at least made sense four years ago," he said. Proposals Criticized Dewey criticized the Demo cratic candidates' proposals to end H-bomb tests and the draft. He said Stevenson "does not ex-I plain what would prevent the j whole world from falling to the Reds if we had neither trained I military manpower nor the best I nuclear weapons, and he never j can explain it." "Both America and Russia ; have the hydrogen bomb but our country is way ahead. Our survival depends on our grow ing mastery of its new techni ques," Dewey told the enthus-, iastic crowd. "It is important that we de feat the candidate making these proposals by the biggest vote in history," he declared. "It it equally important that we give : the President a Congress that wants to work with him and not j against him." Suspected Abductor Of Woman Arrested . Vancouver, Wash. (U.R) Douglas A.
