With season tickets already at sell-out level, the world·renowned art- ists will find an enthusiastic aud· i~nce awaiting each performance at the Station Theater. The association's board of di· rectors, he a d e d by President Kenneth W. Hey hoe, has ar· ranged a variety of talent which promises to make the 18th an· nual China Lake concert season one which will live long in the memories of s tat ion concert· goers. Thursday, Nov. 19, 1964 The curtain will go up on the opening event Thursday, Nov. 19, when the Pacific West Coast Opera Company presents Puc- cini's "La B 0 hem e" in a full- length English version. The pop· SEASON HIGHLIGHT will be appearance of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, under baton of Conductor Henry Lewis.

Rich- ard Riffel and Lloyd Hanna will sing the roles of "Rodolfo" and "Marcello," with Robert Rogers singing the part of "Alcindoro." Tuesday, Dec. 15, 1964 Metropolitan Basso J era m e Hines, after an absence of eight yea r s, returns to China Lake Tuesday, Dec. 15. His new style of vocal recital to concert audio ences throughout the country in the past two years includes can· ventional numbers during the first half of the program, with a change to arias in costume for the second half. The audience frequently witnesses his make·up changes from one character to another. A graduate of UCLA, he ma- jored in chemistry and received his MA degree there. A role in Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pina· fore" before the footlights of the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera ended Hines' career as a scien- tist, and he left the stage as a rising star of the opera.

He began his tour here as a commander in Aug. 1944 and was promoted to ca,ptain in Jan. 1946 earning him his nick name of IIChickll for being the youngest captain in the Navy at that time. During his tour here in the fall of 1945 he was assigned to make a six-week inspection tour of the atomic bomb damage at Nagasaki. He served as experimental officer until Aug. 1947 when he was assigned to command the Sandia Base and Armed Forces Special Weapons Project at AI· buquerque, N.M.

Dr. langenecker's Findings Foresee Vast Potentials The curious phenonema of ultrasonic energy is being used at NOTS as one of the science's newest metal physics tools. Dr. Be r win Lan'genecker, head of Research Department's Metal Physics Branch, recently established that during intense ultrasonic irridation, the forces necessary to plastically deform metals may be reduced by a. much as one hundred percent! These finding may eventually in sound becoming one of man's most important tools in metals forming and treat· ment. Uses Far Less Energy It has been found that this softening by macrosonic irrida· tion resulted from application of far less e n erg y than that generally required to accom· plish the same effect with con· ventional methods. This implies potentially prom. ising applications of high inten· sity ultrasound.
