Arden Clar. whom you have heard
in the Shoreham Blue Room wheth-
err you know it or not, is about the
nearest thing to the compleat mu-
sician you are likely ever to see
around these parts. Haunters of
the Blue Room have confronted in
Arden Clar, violinist with the
orchestra of Barnee and pianist
of the interlude type whose pur-
pose in life is to fill partially the
dead air between dance sets and
during cocktail time. But that is
by no means all there is to the eco
nomic importance of Arden Clar.
name) is not to be found clinging
to instruments in the Blue Room
he will be Cd studying music, CD
teaching music, 60 composing mu-
sic, "a welding.
If you have not become too pale
at this point, you probably can
stand a bit of geographic detail.
Mr.. Clar is local fellow, born
in Washington and educated at
Roosevelt High School, Wilson
Teachers College and Catholic Uni
versity degrees Of Bachelor of
Music and Master of Music from
the latter. AS small child Arden
revealed a hard-headed love for
music. Having been launched by
doting father on a pianist's career,
the lad soon showed desire to ex-
pand his field to include the violin
This, father tried to discourage, as
parents sometimes will. He pointed
out to his pe-breeched offspring that
left-handed violinists are some
thing like left-handed hammerers
the instrument never works. Ar
den was cagey moppet though. He
didn't know how to play violin with
either hand, so it wouldn't make
any difference at all If he should
start right out fiddling right-hand-
ed. Clar, pere, had no answer for
that one; so Clar, fills, took up
piano and violin simultaneously as
he wished.
That the dual studies never con-
f1icted was, not long afterward, tes-
titled by the fact that young Mr..
Clar moved on to composing. He
saw no reason for specializing in
this field, either. with the result
that his creative works now range
from full -1edged symphony to
short etudes and something out-of-
this-World called jungle Madness"
Arden does admit a preference for
the etude form. Then comes an
other bafhement. He's modest. He
never plays htme in the Blue Room,
except on request. These are forth
coming nightly, it may be added.
Arden has written two theme
songs for radio programs of local
origin, Dreams Come True" and
Then Knew" Both of which
were sufficiently suggestive of his
talent as to warrant his being choS-
en- to accompany Radio Singer Con-
rad Thibault for the Washington
bicentennial celebration at Mount
Vernon.
1t is difficult to fathom Arden

Government Experts
Fear No Shortage
fChristmas Cheer
Liquor in Warehouses
Will Lost 81 Years,
Treasury Aide Says
BY the Associated Press.

Although liquor production is at
standstill because of the war,
Government experts see no dearth
of Christmas cheer this year for
those who have the money to buy
Or next year either, for that matter
In fact. says Stewart Berkshire
deputy commissioner of the Treas
ury's alcohol tax unit, Government
warehouses right now are bullying
with enough liquor to meet normal
requirements for about three and
half years.
Reports of shortages developing
in some sections. he said, are prob
ably due to transportation diff
culties or other causes of purely
local nature.
Rationing on the basis of a quart
Gay person has been insti-
tuted by Ohio State liquor stores
and more comprehensive card
rationing system is planned mex;
month. North Carolina stores also
have begun rationing, and in New
York some dealers have suggested
voluntary plan.'
Manpower Shortages Growing.
Ohio stores have been forced to
operate under reduced hours be-
cause of inability to get sufficient
help. Growing manpower short
ages are expected eventually to
affect retail stores in other States
Mr.. Berkshire estimates there are
about 55o,O00,O0o gallons of liquor
stored throughout the country
which, he said. should last quite a
while" If consumption goes along at
the normal level of about 1000, 900
gallons year.
Scotch Supply Assured.
Whisky production has been shut
down under War Production Board
order converting distilleries to the
production of industrial alcohol, but
the distillers have been given to
understand that they may get oc-
casional vacations" during which
they can turn out whisky.
Scotch drinkers, too, apparently
are assured of steady supply. I'M
porters estimated that despite the
war, Scotch imports are being main
tanned at normal levels of around
100000 gallons a year. The Brit
ish are reported shipping all avail
able Scotch to this country to estab-
fish exchange credits for war pur-
chases.

Sir Archibald P. Wavell, British

in an interview last night that the

we have different picture.
I'VE cannot relax any precautions.

 Priylously enemy dive bombers, for the first time since BataaIl fell April 9, had roared over Corregidor, causing some damage and casual ties.
 Attacks Lessened
 Japanese artillery attacks on corregidor and the other forts "les- sened somewhat late yesterday" the War Department said, and "the damage inflicted was not great"
 The American forts answering fire against Japanese batteries on either side of Manila Bay has been tremendously effective, according to previous communiques. Many enemy guns have been silenced ana numerous troop and truck corlcen' trations, first on Bataan and then on the Cavite Kyore, have been broken up by Wainwright's artillery
 The bigger guns and the dive bombers were introduced into attack on the harbor forts after Lieut.. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright's garrison had blasted Japanese troop, truck and artillery concentrations on Ba- taan and near Cvite on the south shore of the by, and a1ti.aircraft gunners had demonstrated their aim to such good advantage that enemy planes were forced to fly at extreme ly high attitudes.
 The last War Department com. munique told how Corregidor island underwent five dive bombing att taI.ks in addition to high attitudes shifted their artillery positions on Bataan, which is on the north side of the bay, and Cavite. on the south. During the preceding 4S hours, American and Filipino gunners had gIlenced seven and possibly eight enemy batteries.

 should Mir. Blakeslee's interpre' tatlon be upheld, serious problem is posed for couples planning to b( married soon. If they do not have their stove bought and delivered yet, according to his view, they wilI have to begin housekeeping with out e stove. ...
 MT. Blakeslee issued his state. ment because of what he called "evidence in Waterbury of 0 misun' derstanding" of the WIPE order which became effective last Friday
 Text of Order
 Tho text of the WIPE order, aS issued by the Chamber of Com- merce. provides that no dealer In plumbing or heating equipment can sell any item costing more than S5. This applies to pipes and con- nectlons to water, gas or sewer pipes and to heating equipment used to provide building warmth
 Violations on the part of dealers are punishable by Imprisonment fol two years and fine of Sl0,000.
 Furniture stores, stove dealers and other interested parties hert are hopeful that the confusion VII be cleared up within Q day or two
 The Chamber Of Commerce, it should be pointed out, is merely seeking to serve It's members ir sending out MT. Blakeslee's instruc' tons. The chamber is not saying that his interpretation of the WIPE order is either correct or incorrect
 BlakesIee Statement
 The statement from Mr. Blakes- lee follows:
 MT. Frank 1T. Blakeslee, in charge of the Priorities Division of the War Production board, New Haven office, said today that there has been evidence in Waterbury ot a misunderstanding of Limitation order LTD, which went into effect Frlday, April l7th. According tc interpretation, this order definitely freezes the sale of all new gas ap- pliances ard all new heating sup plies. This includes fixtures, fittings pipes and accessories having wa ter, sewer, or gas connections, gas cooking appliances, water heaters ranges with gas fittings, oil, and coal. Also, such appliances and supplies can only be sold oil @ rat- Ing of A-l0 or better. This means stoves of all kinds and description. Some Waterbury dealers handling gas ranges and other appliances seem to have been confused as to the application of this order, ac- cording to Mir. Blakeslee. He made it plain that sales made in violation of L70 render dealers liable to pen- alty Of $l0,000 fine and two years Imprisonment"
