Brighton, January 5.
Sir Thomas Beecham, orchestra conductor famed for his vitriolic tongue, fashed out today at man who run opora in Britain.
Speaking at the annual conference here of the In- corporated Society of Musicians he demanded an inquiry into the trust which runs Covent Garden, London's historic opera house.
Evidence should be produced, he declared, of how the vast sum £100,000 had been spent in one year "with so little to show or it, except the disapproval of almost the whole body of the British press.”
Sir Thomas, who has been known to turn round and tell his Judience to "shut up" in the middle of n symphony, com- lained about the appointment of Dr. Karl Ranki, an Austrian, to the post of Musteal Director to he Government-subsidised Bri- 1st National Opera,
