A jam-packed Santa Ana high school auditorium last night heard a Los Angeles Conservatory of Music cast struggle valiantly with an English-translation "Carmen." Two singers, Yola Casselle and Stanley Kurtz, overcame the two strikes and made a homer out of the performance. Audience acceptance of the performance was cool except where the two above-mentioned singers were concerned. Miss Casselle, soprano, singing the role of "Micaela," Don Jose's jilted home-town sweetheart, clearly stole the show from an over-acted "Carmen," sung by Siroon Mangurian. Miss Casselle's singing stood out in a company which included some excellent voices. Her interpretation of the part of "Micaela" was unaffected and natural, a refreshing relief from a posturing, nervously jumping "Carmen." Kurtz, as "Escamillo," the torcedor, earned several warm ovations on the merits of a beautiful baritone voice. His portrayal of the torcedor's role was above the average for the opera, but was certainly not distinguished. For sheer exuberance and love of being in the show, the chil- FLOOR MATS 98c Value 59° ALL WOOD CLOTHES PINS Limit 3 Doz. Doz. 4° ASSORTED COLORS Pocket Combs Reg. 10c.

Both Miss Appleton, a native of Tulsa, Okla., and Mr. Field, born in New York City, are graduates of the JUilliard School of Music, where they were fellowship students together under Carl Friedberg. Since teaming up in 1943, the couple has played more than 500 concerts together throughout the Nevadans Calm As Third A-Bomb Burps This Week LAS VEGAS, Nev., (P)—Lightling the pre-dawn sky with a sudden, brilliant flash, the third atomic explosion in less than a wek was touched off today at the government's sprawling test range northwest of here. Windows rattled in homes and roulette wheels trembled in the gambling palaces, but there was so little excitement that police reported not a single call of inquiry or alarm. A spokesman for the Atomic Energy commission said that first surveys turned up "no reports of any radiological hazards." Otherwise he confined himself chiefly to confirming what most of the town already knew—that it was explosion No. 3 at the new range since Saturday, and No. 12 since the first was set off in New Mexico in July, 1945. Today's flash, witnesses said, was about equal in brilliance to Saturday's, but considerably less blinding than Sundays. And the rumbling roar which followed also was less intense. Vera Appleton and Michael Field, duo-pianists, will give the third program of the Santa Ana Community Concert Association series next Monday at 8:15 p.m. in the Santa Ana High school nervous. Erring in the other direction was Norman Betge as "Zuniga," captain of dragoons and Don Jose's boss. His portrayal of the dashing captain's part was too languid and lackadaisical to be anything but disappointing. In justice to him it must be said that his part was inadequate to show off a really fine bass voice. Conrad Schultz, as "Don Jose," compensated for some rather hammy acting with a beautiful, ringing tenor that was badly handicapped by the clumsiness of the English translation. Last night's opera was the third in a series of "dollar operas" presented by the Conservatory. An English-version of LaBoehme was presented last June and Rigoletto, in Italian, last fall. Dollar Opera's continuance has been contingent on public interest. Members of the Orange County association of the conservatory report that audiences have increased at each performance until last night ticket-seekers were turned away from the box-office for 30 minutes before curtain time. It would seem, now, that the ball is in the Conservatory's hands. They have the audience now—if quality performances are presented, Dollar Opera in Orange county can become a permanent entertainment feature. KOREAN WAR Continued from Page 1 fighting off two enemy regiments for hours, in close combat. He would not predict its chance of breaking out of the trap. Bayohet-wielding Turkish troops made Thursday's biggest advance through rugged and muddy hill country against an enemy "firmly dug in," a briefing officer said. Forward elements of this force drove to a point less than 4000 yards south of Anyang, on the road to Seoul. Anyang is about nine miles northwest of Suwon. Both Miss Appleton, a native of Tulsa, Okla., and Mr. Field, born in New York City, are graduates of the Juilliard School of Music, where they were fellowship students together under Carl Friedberg. Since teaming up in 1943, the couple has played more than 500 concerts together throughout the country and have given annual New York recitals. Radio audiences up and down the continent have come to know them as guest stars on such popular network programs as the Schaeffer Revue, Prudential Family Hour and Piano Playhouse. Frozen Prices Hold That Line By The Associated Press Despite scattered reports of retail food price boosting since the wage-price freeze was imposed, the vast majority of food stores appeared this week to be holding the price line. A survey of prices quoted by leading store chains in nine key cities across the nation showed only minor changes on a list of several sensitive items. Sirloin steak, for example, was two cents a pound cheaper in Boston, compared with last week. Pork chops were a little lower in Washington, D.C.; Jacksonville, Fla., and Philadelphia—but as much as four cents a pound higher in New York. Leg of lamb was off slightly in the same cities. Frying chickens edged lower in a few places, but were up two to four cents a pound in others and the same narrow trend was evident for eggs and butter, although eggs were down six cents in one large chain in the Chicago area. All six items were unchanged in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. Wholesale prices of many farm commodities have continued climbing since the freeze was ordered. The Dun & Bradstreet wholesale food price index this week was up 9 cents to $7.17 (this index is computed on a Tuesday-to-Tuesday basis) and at the highest level since Aug. 10, 1946. Bayohet-wielding Turkish troops made Thursday's biggest advance, through rugged and muddy hill country against an enemy "firmly dug in," a briefing officer said. Forward elements of this force drove to a point less than 4000 yards south of Anyang, on the road to Seoul. Anyang is about nine miles northwest of Suwon and 11 miles south of the former South Korean capital. A few miles eastward, an American tank-led task force jabbed 2½ miles into Wönchon, but then withdrew. Wönchon is three miles east of Suwon. The battlefront now extends roughly along an east-west line five miles north of Suwon. At one point it is within nine miles of Seoul. Substantiating evidence that the U.N. advance had bumped into principal enemy defenses, a division staff officer told Associated Press correspondent Jim Becker: "When you find mines, artillery and an enemy as solidly entrenched as these are, the chances are good that you have hit his main lines." Power Pole (Continued from Page 1) to be re-assumed at about noon today. Southwest Orange county was the area affected by the power failure. Anderson's car was almost completely demolished in the collision, and he suffered major injuries. A passenger, Robert Peck of Manhattan Beach, received minor injuries. They were taken to Long Beach Veterans hospital. Wholesale prices of many farm commodities have continued climbing since the freeze was ordered. The Dun & Bradstreet wholesale food price index this week was up 9 cents to $7.17 (this index is computed on a Tuesday-to-Tuesday basis) and at the highest level since Aug. 10, 1948. The record high is $7.36, established in July of 1948. This index represents the total wholesale cost of a pound each of 31 foods, and 19 of those foods rose during the index period, with only two declining (coffee and sugar). The rise in wholesale meat prices was attributed chiefly to storms and icy roads in the Midwest which reduced shipment of livestock from farms. Market sources reported, however, that wholesale meat buying in several cities was very slow because retailers dared not make heavy buying commitments when their own pricing status was so uncertain. The Agriculture department reported that farmers are producing meat now at the average rate of 147 pounds a year for each consumer, compared with 125 pounds before World War II, and with 160 or more pounds shortly after the end of the war. However, Agriculture Secretary Brannan has said consumer demand for meat may again be approaching the 160-pound level because of increased buying power. Rationing might become necessary he said, because output at that rate could not be maintained under present manpower limits imposed by the defense program and the Armed Services. $5 DAYS SALE at LAURETTA'S DRESS SHOP 116 W.
