AS an instance of what is being
done for musicians in the Navy and
also of the superior talent capable
of being welded together in splen-
did ensemble, it is an eye opener for
all those believing in music as an
important factor in service morale.
This was the first public appear
ance of the band and chorus, al
though they have been heard with
some regularity over the air and
at the Navy Yard. They should be
heard by the entire country and
a concert tour by this gifted group
would be about the best morale
builder we can imagine.
No one could listen to their
spirited playing and excellent sing
ing and keep any feeling of luke
warm patriotism. They can set the
blood tingling with pride and en-
thusiasm and desire to be up and
doing.
Constitution Hall was packed last
night and the audience knew it
was hearing something special from
the first note. When the band and
chorus were seated on the palm
decked stage, the doors at the end
of the hall opened and sailors
marched in two by two to stand at
attention In the aisles as the Ma
tional Anthem was played. Sud-
denly a large American flag was
released from the ceiling and f1oated
down to hang above the heads Of
the audience.
This was not the only dramatic
moment of the program for after
the first half had been performed
and resounding applause called the
leader back, he directed the band in
a stirring playing of THE Stars and
Stripes Forever" In an instant all
lights in the hall were extinguished
except for two spotlights focused on
the flag. The singers joined in, in
the darkness, the cornets lined up at
the front of the stage and the i'm
mortal march was brought to nm
ish in true Sousa style.
The showmanship, however, was
limited to these two numbers, the
program itself being presented with
marked effects in shadings and
musical Interpretation. Bach's "Toc-
cata and Fugue in D Minor" was the
opening number, the remarkably
uniform tone Of the ensemble and
the clean-cut phrasing bringing out
its dignity and richness.
Ensign Thurmond has q distinct
feeling for style and sensitive un-
derstanding Of the possibilities Of
the instruments for color and in the
remaining numbers, the Overture to
Weber's "Euryanthe," the lovely
"The Soul of the Lake" from Kart
Elert's Seven Pastels From the Lake
OF Constance" two preludes by
Shostakovich and the finale from
Tachaikowsky's Fourth Symphony" !"
he achieved great variety in mood
and effect.
Soloist Of the program was VII

 Dean Carl w. Alderman of the Columbia Graduate School of Jour- nalism, who gave luncheon to the editors of the prize-winning Moni- tor Fl Dia of Montevideo, Uruguay and La Nacion of Buenos Aires, Ge- scribed the winners as "global edu- cators" in a statement accompany ing the announcement.

 ITO newspaper men," Aldermen said. "the Globe is something which existed before this global war. Since the development and expansion of American Press Association services the news of the world has flowed to the western hemisphere through news channels as definitely marked as the streams and currents of the seas.
 To-day, in time of global war, world news flows to the new world in greater volume than to any other area of the globe.

 At the suggestion of General Campbell, General Drewry is send ing copies of the letter to firms that may be affected. Other plants here beside Scovill may be included.
 Following Is the letter received by General Drewry:
 "very shortly, your office will rec ceive instructions to curtail certain of the production under your Juris- diction.. I believe it would be ap. propriate for me to tell you some of the reasons for these reductions so that you may advise all contractors affected as well as any other persons who may be properly interested. It will also be possible then that the reasons for curtailment may be known to the employees who will be temporarily affected by the action taken. War, as you know, is fluid, Requirements of the armed forces change with the changes of situa- tions. Requirements change as an an army goes from the defensive to offensive operations, The overall strategy may dictate that every ef- fort must be made to produce ships at the eXperse of guns, planes at the expense of tanks, or tanks at the expense of ammunition. The proper proportion of weapons of war does not remain static, War is fluid. The needs of yesterday give way to the requirements of tomor- rcw. We of Ordnance, therefore, must be flexible in our procurement and production.
