Silly Old Beliefs
Hard to Overcome

A friend of mine, a short time ago
says woman writer of note, voices
the following complaint:
"One of the most amazing para
doxes of our day is the survival of
superstitions that are on an intellec-
tual level with the darkest ages. The
joke of it is that they flourish side
by side with modern civilization and
enlightenment-science beside hocus
pOcus.

Can you explain the survival Of
such barbarisms among supposedly
rational, educated, cultured people?"

"He did not merely play. diiettante-wise with

In fact, the list of his interests and activities
is an amazing one and recent historical re-

Hitler in his den.
She told him the radio ban was
a big mistake. Also she insisted
that her star Jewish singers,

tanned.
She had her way about the SOLO
lists. But the broadcast decree held,
and Toscanini refused to come to
