for Music Appreciation. The Ma
tional Committee was formed last
year as the result Of the overwhelm-
ing success of The Stars campaign.
In line with the action of the
board yesterday. plans already are
being worked out looking toward
participation by school teachers and
pupils in the program. DR.. Edwin
N. c. Barnes, supervisor of music
for District schools, is in charge of
this phase. details of which will be
announced later. 1t was through
the efforts of DR.. Barnes and other
school officers that many classes in
music appreciation in the schools
took part in the symphonic music
campaign by devoting classroom
time to study Of the records made
available by The Str.
DR.. Barnes role in the program
is of especial significance since he
also is a member of the National
Music Appreciation Committee
subcommittee on Advancement of
Music Appreciation in Schools. The
national organization is composed
of more than 5000 leaders in the
field Of musical education through
out the country.
Plans are going forward today for
the opening of the record distri-
button on Saturday morning. Un-
der terms of the offer, GARNER"
will be the first opera offered Others
to follow include Faust" Aida, .
Madam Butterfly" "Rigoletto." La
Boheme," "Tannhauser." La Ira

argued that she will have the sup
port of many of the more conserva-
tive Democrats, who do not like
Mr.. O'Connell, and that she will get
in addition the normal Republican
vote. She has also the support of
some of the labor element, for she
had a good labor record during her
service in the House. Furthermore,
she is expected to capitalize on
what anti-war sentiment exists in
the State. 1t is conceded she will
give Mr.. O'Connell a real race, and
some say she can win, despite the
fact that the first district is Demo-
cratic.
The second district is represented
by Representative James F. O'Con-
nor, who was first elected to the
House in the 1886 Roosevelt land
slide and was reelected by a very
narrow margin in 1888. In fact, Mr..
O'Connor won in 1886 by $1,000
votes and in 1888 by only 5000. The
Republicans have great hope that
their candidate this year, Melvin
Holiness, will win. He has a good
Scandinavian name-which Is an
asset, since there is a big bloc OF
Scandinavian voters in the second
district. The Democrats are some
what exercised over their nominee
for Lieutenant Governor, Roger
Murray, a candidate on the Com
munist ticket in 1896. He won the
nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor much to the surprise of every
one-and there is suspicion that
the voters thought he was some re-
lation of Senator Murray and for
that reason plunked for him. The
Republican candidate against him is
Ernest Eaton, a former State Sen
ator from Billings. Mr. Eaton is
given good chance to win.

Vague Duty Pledge
Checks |nterestin
Pilot Training Plan
Blamed by Maryland
Colleges for SIowness
In Filling Quotas

Clarification of the wording Of
the military pledge required of APP
plicants for civil pilot training UNI
der the Civil Aeronautics Board.
said to be so vague as to jeopardize
the filling of training quotas, is a
problem facing a new 20-man Civil
Aviation Advisory Council meeting
for the first time today with Assist
ant Secretary of Commerce Rob-
ert Hinckley.
Officials of the Aeronautics Board
said today wording of the pledge is
vague in that it fails to fix any time
when student pilots shall apply for
training and says nothing about
the length of service which may
be required
Applicants for pilot training
courses now are required to sign
pledges that they will continue with
military training on completion Of
the civilian training programs now
under way in approximately 700 coll
legeS and universities.
Vague wording of the military
pledge was blamed by Maryland ed
ucational institutions today for their
inability to fill quotas in the pilot
training program, according TO an
Associated Press dispatch from Bal
timore.
officials at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Loyola College and Balti-
more University commended that the
pledge was legally meaningless. but
that C. A. B. officials either could
not or would not explain it salts
factorily. They pointed out that
the pledge specifically binds all ap-
training courses to apply for fight
training in the military service Of
the United States"
Recently, A of 10 applicants
walked out of the University Of
Baltimore when university officials
admitted they could not say what
would be expected of students sign
ing the pledge. Yesterday. Loyola
officials announced only eight ap-
plicants had filed for the colleges
quota of 20 and said that unless the
quota was filled today, they might
be forced to drop out of the pro-
gram. Similar situations were re-
ported BY Hopkins and Baltimore L.
Little difficulty has been reported
by local colleges in filling quotas for
the fall flight training, approx
mately $50 local students being en-
rolled at George WaShinptor, IT7i

DARK FORCES ARE AT WORK
New York Herald Tribune

BY seeking funds to expose British propa-
ganda" in this country, Theodore H.. Hoff-
mann has done a disservice to the Steuben
Society, which he heads, and to millions of
Americans Of German descent who make no
attempt to set themselves apart from fellow
citizens of different ancestry. Despite the &C.
tivities of the ~bund-which were openly op-
posed by the Steuben Society-we have had
far less wrangling over 'hyphenated' Ameri-
canism than marked the opening years of the
World War. The record of our soldiers of all
races in that conflict gave this country greater
confidence in the efficacy of the melting pot
it is a pity to shake that confidence anew by
futile and wrong-headed gestures.
The basic fallacy of Mr.. Hoffmann's Club
of 100," of course, is the assumption that
American opinion on the war is conditioned
by the cunning words of British publicists.
Not all the words in all the dictionaries can
alter the stark fact that the British fleet
is an all-important factor in the maintenance
Of peace in this hemisphere. Nor could the
$40, 900 that Mr.. Hoffman, seeks to raise pur-
chase enough v~erbiage to erase one act from
the Hitler record. We did not view through
English spectacles the Jewish prosecutions, the
Nazi book burnings, the ugly distortion of all
that was wise, beautiful and true in Germany.
We were not pro-British in condemning the
seizure of Austria, CZecho-Slovakia, Poland
Denmark, Norway, Belgium and Holland. 1t
is not because Calais is close to Dover that
we deplore the downfall of France. To quote
Mr.. Hoffman,, dark forces are at work. to
get the United States into war. But such forces
spring from that spirit in Germany, which has
debased its soul and outraged every concept
of national and international conduct, which
Americans, of whatever race, hold to be right
eous.
The Steuben Society has held a dignified
place in the American community. 1t is read
lily Understandable that many of it's members
should view with horror the prospect of an
other war between the United States and Ger
many, another period Of suspicion and trial,
for Americans of German blood. However,
these cannot be averted by attempts to cast
suspicion on England. A British victory is the
best guarantee of peace for the United States,
the best hope for a restoration of sanity in
Germany and of respect for her people. We
hope the society will rebuke its president. 4

RUSSIA-A CLOSED BOOK
AsheviIle Citizen-Times

For the past eighteen years the New York
Times and its corps of brilliant correspondents
IN Moscow have given American newspaper
readers a clear, unbiased picture of the So
Wet experiment. Walter Duranty won the Pu-
litizer prize in 1881 for his reporting of Russia.
Harold Denny, and later, c.. E. R.. Gedye,
whose dramatic dispatches from Prague on
the death throes of Cechoslovakia won him
the enmity of Adolf Hitler, have carried on in
the same tradition.
Last week the Times closed it's bureau in
Moscow. Since January l a censorship so iron
clad that even trivial dispatches were delayed
or tempered with has dried up one-sixth of the
world as a spring of news. In good temper
Mr.. Gedye reports from Bulgaria, after cross
ing the Russian border: 1T is perhaps inter-
esting that the first non-Communist newspaper
to establish itself in M~oscow-and the last
United States newspaper to maintain it's repre-
sentation thereafter having waited patiently
for some sign of improvement has had to
recognize the determination of the censorship
to make and keep the Soviet Union a closed
book"
AS Mr.. Gedye emphasizes, Russia is shut as
tight as a clam. Her policy will cause some
wonderment. Are conditions so catastrophe
in domestic affairs that the Soviet master
fears to let a single objective word out of the
country? Or, is Russia's policy toward the Eu-
ropean war %eliciting a reaction among the
masses so dangerous that the outside world
must be kept in ignorance? Noteworthy is Mr..
Gedye's report that only the German cores
pondents, whose number has increased enor-
mously, are allowed free access to commu-
nicationS.
Russia, at any rate, seems to have entered
a period of darkness. No longer may Walter
Duranty or anyone else write as l please"
The rest of the world must rely upon official
communicates and government press bureaus
for it's news of a leading European political
capital. Russia, always inscrutable, is to be-
come more of a mystery than ever. And per-
haps that is because the Soviet experiment
so-called, is no longer an experiment but
the ACCOMPLISHED fact of the harshest dicta-
torship in world history, upon which the book
must be ~fearfully closed. z

tary Hull came in a speech delivered in ILL
uois on Saturday when the candidate charged
that President Roosevelt had telephoned
to Hitler and Mussolini to sell Czechoslovakia
down the river" That was too reckless a
statement for even the Willkie encourage to
countenance and it was later explained that
the candidate had not meant to say just that,
but had meant to say that Roosevelt promoted
the Munich pact and that the Munich pact
sold Czechoslovakia down the river.
Even the modified statement was in reck-
less disregard of actual facts, as Secretary
Hull points out. It is true the President sought
a peaceful solution of the problems which
threatened war in 1888. a year before it act
ually came. But the peace conference which
he urged was a far different one from the
conference held at Munich. What President
Roosevelt actually sought was a conference
with all of the nations interested, including
Czechoslovakia, represented on an equal basis
and with none of them under the threat of
aggression.
Mr.. Willkie, in his efforts to show that
President Roosevelt should not remain in Of
flee is building up for himself a reputation
for irresponsible statements. And the people
are firing of it. 4
