his presidential opponent, were termed 'absurd" tonight by Almazan's party headquarters. The attorney general's office questioned several Almazan leaders all night after the charges were brought by a congressional committee of congress. Today they said the questions concerned Almazan's intention to set up his own congress Sept. 1 in opposition to Camacho, who declares he won the election. Almazan's party held its own election count last month after charging Camacho's followers kept Almazanistas from the polls.

Almazan, now in Cuba, has said he intends to take office Dec.1 when Cardenas' term 11.17n,BL 1 ---'1, Festiral Tickets! 4 4,,, i 4 I 4 '12 ,,.,) I 1 I 1 1.,..

i All thru sunny day people i were arriving for i the concert. To pass the time 1 they picnicked, gossiped, dozed, and read. As eve- ning approached I more thousands kept streaming )--" 70.4'1 onto the gateless held from street 1 rot ea rierstea- car and bus ter-mines, from the Illinois Central, and elevated stations, from parking places anywhere from a block to a mile away. Nobody knows how many persons were therescores of thousands, certainly. The nearest thing to a concrete fact was the statement that never in the history of the Grant park concerts had so many automobiles been parked.

All Seats Taken Early. All the 22,000 seats were taken early. and people began arranging eiernselves over the great lawns to the east and west and south. They had blankets, newspapers, or just the green grass to sit or lie upon. When the great moment arrived and Mme.

Flagstad was introduced, the whole heldful of peopleacres and acres of themjoined in a tumultous greeting to her. The dignity and placidity of her appearance suggestive of the Nordic demi-goddesses with whom so much of her professional life has been concerned made an immediate impression. This impression was deepened svhen she began to sing Senta's ballad from 'The flying Dutchman's and "-en her strong, brilliant voice was carried triumphantly to every corner of the audience area. Mme. Flagstad, it was realized, is a singer who is ot dwarfed even by this tremendous Grant lark setting of sky and lake and spreading fields.

She went on to "Elsa's Dream" from "Lohengrin," singing with that rapt. possessed quality which is hers. She seemed so absorbed in the troubles and consoling night visions of the Lrabant princess that all Grant park ceuld have been swallowed up in an earthquake and she would never even lave noticed the hole. Sieglinde's ecstatic "Du List der Lenz," from "The Valkyrie," was hung audienceward last night with a rassion and conviction that must tave made a lifelong flagstad vassal of any listener who had so far her power. A little later she sang the "Dich teure Italie" from with an intoxicating momentum and joyfulness.

Love-Death Scene Is Climax. The et the evening, of course, was the Love-Death from Tristan and Isolde." This is the srene in which Mme. flagstad transcends thought and emotion and the wc.rld, and finds for herself what amounts to a new musical dimension. There is no piece of music in the orld which can follow Isolde's Loverelithso there were no encores. Audience response would have made a dozen of them feasible.

Lesicles providing skilful accompaniments. Mr. McArthur and the orchestra offered sonorous and imaginative performances of se veral rely instrumental excerpts from scores of "The Flying Dutchman, "The Valkyrie," The Mastersingers of Nuremberg," and "Tristan and Isolde." This concert was a part of the silrnmerlong series sponsored by the Chicago Park district and the Chi. taco Federation of Musicians. 0,0 114 L41 S3IITH HAI'S DIES AT 72.
