Purpose of the opera debut auditions is to discover out standing musical talent in the Western states which deserves to be furthered in a profes sional operatic career.

Beth preliminary auditions Parly Unified Nixon Insists New York 1P Vice President Richard RI. Nixon said Saturday that disagree ments within the Republican party posed a problem. But he said they would not be a factor in this year's congres sional elections. Nixon said such disagree ments were "inevitable" in a country with the two-party system. The alternative, he said, would be a system of fragmentary parties, such as those in France. The vice-president told 1, 400 members of the Woman's National Republican club that j there was some pessimism j within the party about its chances during the forthcom ing elections. In his view, he said, such pessimism was pre ferable to over-optimism in an election year. One of the GOP's major ob jectives during the election campaign, Nixon said, would be to try to convince the vot ers that it is possible for the GOP "to be progressive and conservative at the same time." "If we can do this, we'll win; if not, we'll lose," he said. Nixon told the women, ga thered from throughout the country, that the Eisenhower administration had given the nation peace and unpar alleled prosperity. He conced ed the recent downturn in the nation's economy but predict ed an upswing during 1958.
