Chamber Holds
 Noon Luncheon

A meeting of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce was held at the Nevada Grill at noon yesterday with pr. Thomas Morcom pr siding as chairman.
 Secretary A. P0let read a com municatiOn from the secretary of the Alaska Miners Association al Fairbanks with reference 10 the resolution passed by the local Chamber opposing the bill now b fore the U. s. Congress propos- ing changes to be made in the Organic Act of Alaska. It appears that the residents of that Division are also in opposition to the bill and that they believe there should be mo change without a majority vote of the, people"
 Dr. Morcom delivered a very in teresting talk on the ancient ruins which he visited this win ter near Mexico City. He declar- ed that Mexico has more prya- mids than any othsr country and that those which he visited were biult previous to the 18th cen tury. One of the things that in- tereSted me most" the Doctor stated, is that the people thsre are similar to our Eskimos. They take things easy, are not aggres- slve; they accept things as they come; and they go through life as comfortably as they can with out expanding much effort"

Bus Route Dropped
Without Hearing,
Citizens Protest
North RundIe Association
Hits Lack of Service
On Anucostiu Road

A formal protest claiming the
Public Utilities Commission ordered
abandonment of transportation serv-
ice on Anacostia road between Ely
place and Benning road Sc. without
notice of hearing was filed last
night by the North Randle Com
munity Citizens Association.
The group, meeting in the port
able school at Minnesota avenue and
E street Sc, at the same time
claimed the Capital Transit Co. had
failed to supply its patrons with
timetable showing the recent
ch,nges of the pennsylvania avenue
bridge bus line in the area.
Began With Calvert WashOut.
Service over AnaCoStia road, the
protest asserted, was inaugurated
many years ago and was temporarily
abandoned early last May when
rains washed out culvert on the
road.
The conditions were beyond the
control of any one at the time, but
we feel that they should not be
accepted as a justification for aban-
donment of a service long eStao-
lished." the protest read.
Members then agreed that the
transit company should route a
poyion of its buses from Mime
sot/ aveyle east on n street, north
on Anacostia road and northwest
on Branch avenue to Randle Circle.
The protest was drawn up by Charles
A. Barker, a member of the asso-
citation.
Lights Asked.
The group also urged the District
to establish street lights on M place
between Minnesota and Branch ave-
nues. on Massachusetts, avenue be-
tween Anacostia road and Randle
Circle Sc. and on K street to the
circle.
A committee was named to keep in
touch with Congress to see the
S180000 appropriation recommended
in yesterdays budget message of
the President for the erection OF
school at Minnesota avenue and
Ely place was passed.
R. E. Copeland, vice president,
presided in the absence of the presi-
dent, Archie Edwards.

hank" which brought out that
battlecry of the sleepy-head:
ooh, How 1 Hate To Get Up in
the Morning." "Yip, Zip Yap-
hank" was staged to provide some
desperately needed money for the
army boys stationed at that camp
during the last war. Irving Ber-
lin cOnfideS that he is ready to
put out a new edition for the boys
in the same area now. 1t seems
that the army post on Long Island
needs a new recreation center and
Berlin, enthusiastic over the type
of men now i'm the American
army is practically fOre-Ordained.
The new army, Mr.. Berlin feels,
is much superior to that of 1917.
1t is quicker, more intelligent and
determined to see it's job through.
Irving Berlin will heartily agree
that the songs which were popular
in the last war could not be re-
vived to meet the music needs of
1871. But he will not agree that
a basically different type of ap-
proach is required. People react
to essentially the same stimuli
now as they did then. The same
basic emotions are there. And
his America remains, the America
he knew as boy and as a young
man. The boom and the depres-
sion have not soured It.
He will not say that this cOun-
try has changed fundamentally.
Its strivings to him will always
be freedom and hope and decency
for all men.
Irving Berlin has succeeded as
no other American in capturing
the spirit of swiftly changing
age. To him America never
changes because he has changed
with America. The Lets Have
Another Cup of Coffee-Let's
Have Another Piece of Pie" re-
frain of 1882 has given way to
Arms for the Love of America"
in 1941. Irving Berlin, balladist
and patriot, is like the Uncle Sam
he loves--"the freedom man."

How did "Any Bonds Today ?"
come to be written? "Mr. Nor
genthau called me up one day and
told me that he would like to
have a song to help him sell the
new defense bonds. In a couple
of weeks 1 had something prepar-
ed, took it down to the Treasury
and found that the men there lik-
ed it very much. But 1 wasn't
satisfied. 1 added a few touches
and that's all there is to it,"
That's all there is to it with
all of Berlin's songs except that
the unfailing ability to capture
the public fancy goes along with
every note that Berlin composes.
When the Army Ordinance As
ISOLATION wanted to pOpularize its
work to equip the new American
defense forces, it naturally called
upon Berlin-and earns for the
Love of America" with its copy
right transferred to the AssOcia-
ton, has become the theme song
for those who want to help the
imam behind the man behind the
gum"
Irving Berlin sees his job as
that of songwriter, but his songs
today have purpose, insight and
emotion which reflect his deep
love for America: To him Amer
lea is a word weighted with mean
ing. 1t is a fabulous land still.
The land which was good enough
to take him out of the East Side
and to give him fame in a land to
which he is profoundly grateful.
He is giving generously of his
gratitude today in his work.

America in anything but a serious
sOng," he says. When asked what
he thinks of those who howl down
"GOd Bless America" at "anti-
war" meetings, he only smiles.
cit ought to be pretty obvious"
he replies.
Carl Sandburg has spoken out
against the bundists and the
under-cover Nazis who boo and
boot because God Bless America"
was written by Jew. He has
attacked the "hideous, Shiny and
subhuman crew" who direct the
innocents in Chicago and Phila-
delphia to whom God Bless
America" is anathema.
But Berlin is content to say
nothing. He wants the song to
speak for itself.

common .idiom and who feels that
in this country there is no room
for the prejudice and the oppres-
sion of Europe. He enjoys remi-
niscing over the old days when he
knew bitter poverty. That pow
erty, he feels, did not seem so
bitter at that time. It was the
accepted way of life in his neigh
borhood.
Today he keeps always before
him the remembrance of those
days. In his tastefuIly furnished
office in New YOrk's theatrical
district stands an old Monarch
upright piano which he bought
secondhand in 1909 for 500, and
which he has taken all around
the world with him.
But it is typical of Berlin that
he doesn't say, Il keep this piano
because it has fond memories for
me-" He says instead, For some
people this piano would be no
good at all, but you see"-and he
manipulates a lever q can
change the keyboard around to
suit the type of music I want to
write. I write only in one key
and for me this piano is perfect"
On subjects of Jewish interest
he speaks fOrcefuIIy and intelIi-
gently. Yet on such subjects he
feels that men like Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise are best equipped to ex-
press their points of view and,
with characteristic mOdesty, he
prefers that they speak for the
Jewish people.
To him the job of songwriting
represents his best contribution,
as an American and as a Jew, to
the task of keeping America Free
Continued freedom in America, he
4, feels, means continued freedom
for Jew as well as Gentle. Anti
Semitism, he insists, will wane.
He knows that the dislike of Jews
which was once purely social has
burgeoned into more active

the good sense of the American
people will ultimately reduce the
like or dislike of the Jew to the
matter of individual taste, where
it belongs
Hitler, he says originally traf-
licked only in hatred of Jews.
But now, like a businessman
whose enterprise has flOurished,
he has entered into the profession
of hatred on a wholesale scale,
and it is no longer the Jews who
are the especial object of his
fury. In that fact he sees a pro-
found lesson for this country.
The man who started with
Alexander's Ragtime Band and
who became the author of ballads
which are as much American as
our folk music can ever be, sees
our way of life gravely menaced
by Hitler and Hitlerism. In the
way some might say: THAT isn't
right" he says, THAT isn't Amer
ican," when he talks of racialism.
