 Topical Songs Popular

and "WeIl Go Smiling Along"
 Topical Songs Popular Topical songs also have proved popular. For the air raid harrassed civilians their Good Night" whose words go: Please don't think me rude be-
 cause I'm yawning, But I have to get up in the morn-
 ing. Goodnight, Goodnight. Got your
 torchlight? Yes. Got your gas mask? Yes. All
 right, all right Goodnight, Goodnight. Goodnight,
 Goodnight" Then, for the troops, there is Good Night, Sergeant Major: "Kiss me good night, Sergeant
 Major. Tuck me in my little wooden bed. We all love you, Sergeant Major, When we hear you bawling, Shake
 leg.' Don't forget to wake me in the
 morning, And. bring me round nice hot cup
 or tea, Kiss nc good night, Sergeant Ma
 jor, Sergeant Major, be mother to
 mel"
 Siegfried Line Not Forgotten But the biggest topical song hit of the war was Hang Out the Washing on the Siegfried Line" written by Remedy and Carr. So far it has sold 350,000 copies. The words are: Were going to hang out the wash
 ing on the Siegfried Line, Have you any dirty washing, moth
 CT, dear? We'r going to hang out the wash
 ing on the Siegfried Line, Cause the Washing Day is here. Whether the weather be wet or fine, We'll just rub along without a care. We're going to hang cut the wash
 ing on the Siegfried Line If the Siegfried Lines still there" Publishers say there will be new market for this song when Britain finally undertakes the of- fenSive on land.

 CHANGED BY BOARD

 So far it has sold nearly a million copieS-and it's still a good seller.
 Running close second on Eng lands Init parade" is the Ameri- can best-seller, South of the Bor- der" which, incidentally, was writ ten by England's best known song writing team, Jimmy Kennedy and Michael Carr. That, too, has sold nearly a half million copies.
 Third place probably goes to ''Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Cood-Bye," with which Oracle Fields, the English comedienne now in the Unite Sta.es, sang her way into the hearts of the British army, navy and air force. Some 450,000 copies have been sold.
 Song of France Wanes
 Carr, working alone, wrote the song that is in fourth place, Some where In France" whose popular ity waned after the British retreat to Dunkirk. It sold 100000 copies.
 But none of the songs of this war approaches the sales of England's hits of the World War. For in- stance, cts a Long, Long Way to Tipperary," sold 5,0o0,000 copies, "Roses of Picardy," 100000, and "Keep the Home Fires Burning" !" more than 100000 copies.
 Publishers attribute the drop in sales of hit songs to the radio, on which a popular song today is lis- erally played to death in about 13 weeks, whereas during the last war the average life of hit song was two years.
 Songs syrnbolizing the universal hope for better days ahead are find- ing ready market. One publisher commissioned Irving Berlin to write a song expressing this thought. Berlin produced "It's Lovely Day Tomorrow" which sold 100000 copies.
 Others that have sold well in- clude "It's A Hap Hap Happy Day"

U. 5. May Get Full Output
OF Indies Rubber
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SINGAPORE. June %. - The
Netherlands Indies will discontinue
all sales of rubber to Japan at the
end of 194l and will deliver virtually
their entire output to the United
States, usually reliable sources said
today.
Such an arrangement would con-
tinue for the duration of the Euro
pean war, these sources said. Japan
is buying Indies rubber by monthly
allotments based on estimates Of
normal japanese domestic needs.
During recent trade talks, it was
said, Indies officials told the Japa-
nese that United States orders had
been given precedence as a neces-
sary war measure because American
factories are arming allies of Hol-
land.
The Malayan rubber market has
been sluggish since a recent ofncial
ban on exports except those con-
signed to the United States from
rubber reserves, 1t was learned.
