4Met' Opens Season
Amid Glamour,
Glitter, Opulence
NEW YORK, UP) — The 75th
season of the Metropolitan Opera
is under way after an opening
night at which the Met offered
! up an exciting new star and a
! new production of an old, old
favorite.
As usual the season’s opening
at the old Opera House offered
another show — the audience —
with its own stars and all the
glamor and glitter any one
could want.
The opera was “II Trovatore,”
and most real opera lovers went
to hear and see Italy’s famed
Giulietta Simionato make her
Metropolitan debut as the gypsy
Azucena. They were not dis
appointed.
Neither were the opera patrons
who went mainly to see the cele
brated opening night audience.
They saw Greer Garson, in
shimmering white, wrapped in
] white mink; Rosalind Russell, in
a low cut black gown, wrapped in
yards of chinchilla; boyish pianist
Van Cliburn, escorting a pretty
opera singer, Rosalind Elias, and
onetime baseball stars Hank
Greenberg and Bob Feller.
It was a fashion parade—heavy
brocades and glittering satins,
electric greens, bold yellows and
reds against stark white, gleaming
gold and silver; swaths of mink,
ermine or chinchilla; diamonds,
rubies, and emeralds in the tra
ditional necklaces and tiaras or
tucked into chignons at every
imaginable angle.
The Met took in an estimated
$85,000 for the opening night of
a season that will be the longest
in its history, running for 25
weeks.
Biggest Russian
Budget Cuts
Defense Spending
By STANLEY JOHNSON
MOSCOW, iff) — The Soviet
government yesterday unveiled
the biggest budget in its history,
with spending increased for al
most everything except defense.
Deputy Finance Minister Vasilli
Garbuzov told 1,335 members of
the Supreme Soviet — the na
tion’s parliament — that revenue
would be 772,100,000,000 rubles
and expenditures 744,800,000,000
rubles, leaving a surplus of 27,
300,000,000 rubles.
Defense expenditures were set
at 96,100,000,000 rubles—exactly
the same as last year, which
means the percentage of the bud
get devoted to defense has ac
tually been reduced.
At the official exchange rate,
the ruble is worth 25 cents. But
it is difficult to fix the exact
defense expenditure since some
military needs may be listed
under civilian categories. Rocket
research, for example, may come
under the heading of scientific
research.
The total government expendi
ture also is misleading to West
erners. Under the Communist
system of government ownership
of all production and distribu
tion facilities, the budget in
cludes economic costs which are
usually the burden of private
corporations in non-Communist
contries.
