Of the American Psychological Asso-
citation at meeting last night at
Wilson Teachers College. He said,
however, that large portion of this
work should be handled by the
civilian organization, so that military
personnel would not have to be taken
fer this purpose.
Those sent to these special courses
are given about eight weeks of aca-
demic training interspersed with
military duties. Only a small per-

they can be of some use in the mill

possible for them to learn, he said,
they are discharged: He described,
the system used in teaching this

The Army, he said, had been faced
with the sudden impact of the prob

military establishment did not have
any selective screening process such
as the other services have.

J. p. Hayes, manager of the SYM

chestra has lost % OF its players
during the last IL months to the
armed forces. Many Of these men,
he said, already have experienced
combat duties.
Mr.. Hayes pointed out that DR..
Kinder, on his recent trip across
the Nation, had recruited a number
OF outstanding players, making the
8O-plece organization truly the Ma
tional Symphony" He said the new
corners came from as far away as
California, listing three new play
ers from that State, Joseph Cop
pin, cellist; Natalie Hollern, Eng
nsh horn, and Gabriel Bartold, first
trumpet.
Miss Marguerite Kuehne, new as
slstant concert master of the Or
chestra, came to Washington from
Philadelphia. She won distinction
as a violin soloist with the Phila-
delphia Philharmonic Orchestra, and
made her debut with the Los Angeles
Philharmonic under Arthur Rod
zinski at the age of IL.

Mr., Hayes, manager; George Gaul,
personnel manager and librarian;
Millard Taylor, concert master, and
Miss Kuehne, assistant concert
master. Howard Mitchell, first Gel
list, veteran principal player, is
again with the orchestra.
Mr.. Hayes said the music for the
shostakovich Seventh Symphony"
weighed "a pounds when 1t arrived
last week. Written during the seige
Of Leningrad, the symphony lasts
one hour and 10 minutes. The av-
erage symphony lasts between IS

People say the Seventh SYM
phony" is too long," asserted DIR.
Kinder. But it is the same as a
man writing an interesting seven
page letter packed with facts. He
does not apologize because he had
something to say. This symphony
is definitely a war symphony. 1t is
a symphony to kill Hitler" he de-
clared.

Flynn Puts 1t Badly

There is no need to work up temperature Of lO5
degrees because Democratic Party Chairman Flynn
said the country ought to elect Democratic House
and Senate this fall That is what party clairmen
are for--to plug for election Of members of their
party.
Flynn put it badly, urging election of Democrats
the ground that only such could properly support
the President That is nonsense, as Flynn probably
knows himself 1t is also bad politics. the President
knows, with the memory of President Wilson's appeal
for Democratic Congress in 1918 far fresher in his
memory than in Flynn's. He remembers that all
Wilson's appeal did was to present him with both
House and Senate predominantly Republican. So the
President dsavows Flynn's appeal. and rightly so.
What's wanted today in Congress is men of the
highest ability we can get men eager and loyal to
support their country in fight that may we'll be one
for it's very existence.
What both parties ought to do is prune off their
dead limbs and present the electorate with
didates Of definitely good qualifications. Our pre-
dcton is that fatheads drones, players prejudice
exploters of the purely political, gravy -boatmen
wndbags johnny -latelys, coat-tailriders, sup
porters and critics for purely political motives
entities misusers Of franks, second guessers hand
Wr1ngers, and incompetents, are all going to have
rough road to ride to election this fall.
We need congressman who will support the war,
not blindly, but ntelligenty and aggressively We
need critics who will criticize alery, understanding
ly, and always with the sole purpose of making the
war effort more effective.
We need all the brains ability, and real patriot
ism in Congress that we can summon there.
