To lell you he made the circuit of Italian opera houses before reaching La Scala, one arm does a wide, circular sweep .from floor to high ever head. To show he hopes you don't believe alf you hear, he peers quiz zically over the tops ?f his dark rimmed glasses. To show he means me, Salvatore, he brushes aside the lapels of his scarlet dressing gown and with a big thumb thumps the brown shirt over his broad chest. It was Toscanini who advised him to concentrate on comic roles. There had always been the comic spirit in him, as well as the spirit of music, he recalls. He was a boy soprano. He also was the young son ordered by the fond father to entertain company with hrs humorous imitations. But the father, substantial bus inessman, tried to stop it there. He wanted the future singer to be an architect, and Baccaloni got his degree in Rome. But opera weened him away. He is not only a laugher but also a worker. He did Don Pasquale at 19. When in his early twenties he made his La Scala. debut, he already knew 56 roles. First heard in this coun try in 1930, he appeared at the Met in 1940. Knighted in Italy in 1931, he became an American citizen two DCAIITADT ALWAYS GOOD ?ISt AUl ' UK I ? ENTERTAINMENT Air Conditioned for Y omr Comfort ? Phone 2-4)36 Tl/ESDAY ?

I can do it like this" ? politely, with a bow; "or like this"- jabbing it at me; "or this way" ? throwing it. "Cut nothing is left to chance, the effect is calculated." He went on to explain: "The basic line of a role must never be violated, of course. But I fol low the French and Italian style rather than the German, i make only little changes. I do not like the way the German singer al ways at a certain note, in a certain scene, at a certain spot on the stage, must have his hand held high." He held his hand high, made up an unbelievably solemn face, re laxed it, grinned as broad as a miTc, and we both burst out laugh ing. He is popular as a recitalist, and appears frequently on television. When he is not rehearsing ? about which he is faithful no matter how familiar the role ? he may be at work at a drafting board, for he hopes to become a member of the United Scenic Artists, A. F. L.; or he may be painting, for he is a portraitist of very considerable talents.

"It was just like watching a moving light bulb," the helicopter pilot who took part in the test reported. The vest, which can be snapped to a parka or heavy jacket worn for warmth, is adjustable and fits tight so as not to catch on branch es or underbrush. The bright yel low vest is also equipped with three pockets for carrying flares. A few yards of fluorescent cloth, a few snapfc and a needle and thread these may well be the means of getting anyone's ground crew to the scene of a crash in time to save suffering and even the lives of downed airmen.
