Pinza Dies In Connecticut
STANFORD, Conn. — (UP) — Operatic basso, Ezio Pinza, who scored his greatest success after he left the Metropolitan Opera House for Broadway musicals, died at his home today.
Mr. Pinza was a star for the Metro politan for 20 years before he suddenly signed to play the lead in the Broadway musical "South Pacific" opposite Mary Martin. His last musical on Broadway was "Fanny."
Mr. Pinza, 65, had suffered three strokes since last August but his death came unexpectedly. Just a week ago he was reported to be resting comfortably."
Born the "son of a carpenter in Rome, Italy, May 18, 1892, Mr. Pinza made his singing debut with a provincial opera company at Soncino and was an immediate success. The Metroolitan signed him in 1926. He became a favorite in "Don Giovanni," "Faust," "The Marriage of Figaro" and others.
Mr. Pinza suffered his first stroke while on vacation at a villa at Cervia, Italy last August.
Other officers elected were Dinah Wolters, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore, secretary, Gamma Phi Beta, and Rex Doherty, Dellvale freshman, treasurer, Jolliffe.
Thor Borgen, Lawrence sophomore and outgoing president of AGI, said that the additional vice presidents had been decided upon for better party co-ordination and co-operation and also for closer contact with various living districts.

Murphy Lashes Out At Budget 'Hysteria'
A new kind of hysteria, called the battle of the budget, has replaced the hysteria of communism, Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, chancellor of the University, told 700 persons at the Honors Convocation this morning in Hoch Auditorium.
"The same kind of mass confusion that reigned when communism was at its peak is among us now," he said.
"The business of intelligently spending the income is not clear," he continued. "Many people are saying, 'Let's cut the fat from the budget.' However, there is a very great difference between intelligent investigation and taking a political meat ax to the budget."
Non-defense Budget Dropped Dr. Murphy pointed out that the non-defense portion of the budget has dropped from seven per cent in 1940 to 4.3 per cent in the 1958 budget.
"No specific data can be given by intelligent people that says spending 4.3 per cent for non-defense is too much." he said.
