LANDON is said to be taking radio preparation for his possible campaign as the Republican presidential nominee quite seriously. He has practiced microphone delivery, and those who have heard him in recent speeches believe he has improved since earlier talks. He is aiming at an informal, conversational style. That Mr. Landon is considered by some Republican leaders to have a better radio delivery than other prospective candidates is used as an argument in his behalf. It is recognized that Fresident Roosevelt s microphone technique is better than that of many professional announcers. tt tt tt National convention broadcasting by both major networks will begin at 0 tomorrow morning on CBS (WFBM) and NBC-WEAF when the keynote addres suf Leo Krzych? at the Socialist national convention at Cleveland is to be carried. CBS also will broadcast Norman Thomas’ address at 7:30 tomorrow night, and NBC-WEAF will air at 3:15 Sunday afternoon the reading of the platform.

Popular Opera Is Scheduled for Presentation by WIRE at 12:30. BY JAMES THRASHER The Metropolitan Opera Company’s new management chose to stick closely to the standard operatic repertory during its first season. New faces and new voices, however, offset the thrice-familiar music, with many young singers cast in the principal roles. This practice is being continued in the current spring season, and we are to hear a virtually "allAmerican” cast for tomorrow’s performance of Smetana’s "The Bartered Bride,” to be broadcast over WIRE and the NBC Red network at 12:30. Mario Chamlee, American with an Italian sounding name, is to sing the leading role of Hans, while the opera’s heroine, Marine, will be sung by Muriel Dickson. Anna Kaskas, contralto winner of the Metropolitan Opera "auditions of the air,” is to be heard as Agnes, and George Rasely, who came to the operatic stage directly from NBC studios, is to be the Wenze' of the production. Louis d’Angelo, veteran Metropolitan basso, will be heard as the Kezal, or marriage broker. Other young American singers in the cast are to be Lucille Browning, Natalie Bodanskaya, Wilfred Engelman, John Gurney and Norman Cordon. Famous for its sparkling melodies and delightfully naive humor, "The Bartered Bride” has retained its popularity for more than 70 years. It stands as well, as a landmark in the history of Bohemian music. Smetana’s eight operas were written to Bohemian texts, and, like all of his music were strongly influenced by his native folk music. Wilfred Pelletier, regular Metropolitan conductor, is to direct tomorrow’s performance, which will be sung in English. Although not of particular interest to listeners, the numerous peasant dances which feature the score are to be done by the American Ballet Cos. tt tt tt The M; nhattan String Quartet is to pre; nt the Music Guild broadcast on the NBC Blue network at 7 tonight. The players are Rachmicl Weinstock, first violin; Harris Danzigcr, second violin; Julius Shaier, viola, and Oliver Edel, ’cello. They are to be heard in a Mozart quartet and a Haydn serenade. u tt u \ MONG the scheduled songs on /"V Marion Talley’s weekly program tonight is the famous aria, "Connais-tu le Pays,” from Thomas’ "Mignon.” This opera was one of Miss Talley’s vehicles during her brief but sensational occupancy of the musical spotlight as a Metropolitan star 10 years ago. She sang the coloratura role of Philine, however, rather than that of Mignon, from whose part the above aria is taken. Miss Talley also is to sing "Cornin’ Through the Rye” and musical comedy selections, accompanied by an orchestra under Josef Koestner’s direction. The broadcast is at 8:30 on the NBG-WEAF chgin and WIRE.

INSANITY DEFENSE DUE IN MURDER CASE “Deteriorated Mind” Is to Be Blamed in Slaying of Author. By United Press NEW YORK, May 22.—John Fiorenza gets his chance today to prove that a "deteriorated” mind caused him to confess untruthfully the attack and murder of Mrs. Nancy Evans Titterton, author and wife of a National Broadcasting Cos. executive. After producing witnesses who heard the 24-year-old upholsterer’s helper twice admit the crime, and photographs of him re-enacting its details for police, District Attorney William C. Dodge pushed his prosecution toward conclusion today. He told Judge Charles C. Nott he would complete the state’s case today. Henry C. Klauber, defense attorney, apparently relied upon a plea of insanity to save Fiorenza from a death sentence. He subpenaed more than 20 of Fiorenza's acquaintances and two osychiatrists to support his contention that Fiorenza is a mor4n, “with deteriorated mind and body.” CHICAGO MAN IS HELD Charged With Criminal Syndicalism by Angola Authorities. By Cnifcd Press ANGOLA, Ind., May 22.—Paul Butaszh. a Chicago magazine salesman, held here today on charges of criminal syndicalism after he had been ejected by Tri-State College students from a meeting to which he had been invited to speak. It was alleged that Butaszch spread Communistic doctrines while calling on prospective customers.

M’NUTT TO GET MEETING ROLE Democratic Party Official Says Governor Will Play Big Part. Observers today saw the visit yesterday of W. Forbes Morgan, Democratic national committee secretary, ar an effort to rally Indiana business leaders to the Democratic cause. After his conference with Gov. McNutt and Omer S. Jackson, Democratic state chairman, yesterday, Mr. Morgan forecast the following: Gov. McNutt is to have a prominent role in the Democratic national convention. Indiana has not lost prestige because it failed to climb on the Roosevelt bandwagon in 1932. Indiana will give President Roosevelt a larger majority in 1936 than it did in 1932. The national convention leader cannily dodged questions as to whether his visit had anything to do with the WPA probe in Indiana and said "It’s just politics we’ve been talking.” He declared his air tour of the nation was to learn of conditions in the various states. The Governor has accepted an invitation to speak at a meeting of young Democrats at the national convention.
