was struck dumb by nervous shock feet produced upon on old man who suffered during and air raid. The man recovered full use of his voice when he was persuaded to sing in a choir organized by one of the units. One Cockney who dubiously watched a shelter concert in 6 large London subway finally admitted "all that noise does seem to keep the roof up somehow"
 During the winter months as many as 400 concerts monthly had been sponsored by the council in churches, villages, halls, mining towns and factories.
 The council is & godsend to pro. fessional musicians thrown out of work by the war. Often 1t has been the sole support of actors and painters whose talents are unmar- ketable under wartime conditions. The program also is designed to eil- courage amateurs from whom will spring the new generations of artists to prserve the continuity of British artistic culture.
 Amateurs Get Chance
 Both professional and amateur drama, musical comedy and panto- mime have been sponsored through out the coountry by the council. During the first six months of this program alone more than 400 anna teur productions were staged. This work largely was done through or- ganization of amateur drama clubs and societies.
 An "Art for the People" series of exhibitions is being conducted in the countrys leading cities. These exhibits arrange for display of orig inals, reproductions, industrial and domestic designs as well as auto graphic art. More than 270, 900 per- sons attended these free exhibitions last year.
 The council said it hoped for even larger programs this year by en- couraging private contributions which would be matched by govern ment funds and by arranging closer cooperation with educators, civil de- fense authorities and other govern ment bureaus.

TURKEY EXCITED
 BY BOMB BLASTS
Luggage Of British Legis' latiOn Blown To Pieces
 Police Working Hard
BY DANA SCHMIDT Limited Press Staff Correspondent


 Istanbul, Turkey, March 12-(UP) Police worked today on the theory that bombs which exploded in lug gage of British legation and con- sular staffs returning from Bulgaria were planted in an attempt to de- stroy important secret documents as well as to kill as many of the British party as possible.
 It was understood that some bag gage of the British party was miss ing as the result of the explosion in the lobby of the Pera Palace hotel. But British Minister George w. Rendel, 1t was learned, was un- packing secret documents in his room when two bombs burst in the lobby, and this would indicate that he had taken care immediately on his arrival to insure the safety of all important papers.
 Police worked for time on a theory that the bombs might have been hidden in the hotel in ad- vance of the arrival of the British party and detonated by an electrical devise, or thrown into the lobby from a passing motor car.
 Closed Frontiers
 Police closed all frontiers to auto mobile and railroad traffic as soon as the explosion occurred yesterday and communications rem a in e d closed today.
 They believed that, if anyone con- nected with the plot had been on Turkish soil, they might find him.
 Turkish soldiers with bayonets af- fixed to their rifles guarded all ap- breaches to the hotel.
 Aiding the Turkish police was a former Scotland Yard detective Su- perintendent named Williams, who is now a bodyguard for British messengers carrying important doc- uments. He has just arrived from Moscow.
 Minister Rendel held a conference with all members of the legation and consular staffs this morning, in hope of some insight into the bomb plot. Emerging after three quarters of an hour. conferees said they had been bound to complete secrecy. They made it known, how ever, that they had gone through every step of their journey from Sofia trying to remember any in- cident that might aid police. They saG also that 1t had beer estah- lished that no legation documents were missing.
