IN NORMANDY.
Chicago— In a greeting read to the
NAACP Wartime Conference at its
opening session here July 12, Gener
al Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme
Commander of the Allied Invasion
Forces, praised the work of Negro
troops during the invasion. .
The message, transmited to Walter
White through the War Department
Bureau of Public Relations in Wash
ing'.on, stated:
.“Negro troops did their duty ex
cellently under fire on Normandy's
beaches in a zone of heavy comtat
and suffered substantial casualties.
You may well be proud of the ac
complishments of Negro troops. In
conjunction with all our forces in the
European Liberation campaign they
have made their full contribution to
the initial success.”

MISS MIS TO CATO. i in New York last week talks about
Miss Minto Cato, glamorous opera I her art and hobbies in a personal in
star singing the title role in “Aida” I terview. (CNS photo)
M1NT0 CATO SPEAKS OF
CHAPEAUX, CUSINE
AND SONG.
By Dolores Calvin
New York City (CNS) Even for
a miserable storm to be vaging out
side, Miss Minto Cato, an Arkansas
born lady with a rich voice well re
membered in such operas as “Aida",
“La Traviata” and “II Trovatore”,
nestled up in her cozy apartment on
St. Nicholas avenue and burst forth
with her exuberant personality.
She’s all excited about the first af
fair of the Negro National Opera
Company’s New York Chapter of
which she is chairman. It’s an all
star concert featuring scenes from
three operas, “Aida”, "Faust” and
“La Traviata”. And she’s proud of
the chorus which has been trained by
her. The big event invaded Town
Hall on Sunday, July iith.
Miss Cato, born LaMinta, >s o; a
musical family and started to enter
tain as early as six years old She
taught for three veais at Ather.., Ga.
where she produced sottool plav-.. di
rected and wrote dialogue. She was
the second and last Negro w mar to
sing the title role in ‘ Aida” at the N
Y. Hippodrime rhea're with an all
white company.
Some of her Br idw..v musicals
were “Connie’s Hoi Chocolates’
“Showboat” “Blackbirds”, “John
Henry” with Robeson and others. It
was interesting to note to,it in "Show
boat”, the singer carried the role oi
Queenie while a then unknown, Ken
neth Spencer, played Joe.
She also taught and produced the
opera “II Trovatore” at the Manhat
tan Theatre which is now the CBS.
Theatre. In this she sang the role of
Azucena which received wild acclaim
weeks ago when uore than 500 mem
bers of his club lere denied registra
tion. Head ruled that they should be
registered, a ruling that incurred the
ire of J. J. McGlendon, county reg
istrar, who also serves as chairman
of the county Democratic executive
committee. McClendon, wKo grudg
ingly qualified the group upon receipt
of Head’s ruling, was quoted as say
ing, “You can pay your poll taxes if
you want to, but you’ll never vote in
the primary as long as I’m chair
man.”
Court action against both state and
various county Democratic executive
committees wil lbe filed immediatelv
after a call meeting of the Citizens
Democratic clubs, Atty A. T. Wal
den said.

All-Around Person.
It has been said that there is no
substitute for hard work, and this is
foremost in the mind of Minto Cato.
After graduating from Knoxville,
Tennessee College, she studied at the
Howard university. Mme. Gerta
Gerdini, an Italian, is her coach now
and Miss Cato still runs to take her
lessons, believing that no matter how
learned, a singer still needs a few
pointers.
She adores odd chapeaux and mak
es many of them herself. Among
her millinery creations are frilly,
feathered and flowered headgear.
Her other weaknesses are shoes and
bags, she Ikies them matching. Quite
often she'll put in some mileage in
the kitchen and emerge with some
thing tasteful and definitely south
ern. She claims to make cornbread,
“like nobody’s business.”
She’s quite a joker, and what's bet
ter, tells some pretty funny ones on
herself. Expressing her love of Chin
ese food, she laughed heartily at the
suggestion of “Minto Foo.”
Driving is her hobby, only the OP
A cut in on that and she recently sold
h ecrar. She’s an opera star who’s
human—she likes boogie-Woogie and
can even “beat” out a few bass notes
as well as accompany herself in the
classics.
For six months, this woman who
has traveled around the world, sang
to the boys in service from coast to
coast on a USO tour which made her
as happy as she made them. Now
she sings the leading role in “Aida”,
in Washington July 30th at the fam
ous Watergate and in Chicago Aug
ust 26th at Soldier's Field.
She loves to train people-young
