Rubinoff and his famed violin
made a personal appearance in the
city room Of The Star yesterday,
and the silken tones of the celebrat-
ed Stradivarius floated above the
clatter of typewriters and jangle
of phones In "IntermezZo."
A reporter quit wrestling with an
automobile accident and listened
raptly. Copy readers laid down
their busy pencils for moment.
The flawless tones f1oated upstairs
to the composing room and braved
the jangle of typesetting machines.
Rubinof has gone, in a big way,
into helping his adopted land by
playing and talking to boost sales
of War bonds and stamps. He
played and talked over WRC at 4:3O
o'clock yesterday, and last night,
since he's mindful of the boys in
the camps, he gave two concerts for
the Marines at Quantico.
Strad is a Great Care.
Rubinoff, who has first name
it's Dave-carries his violin as
youthful mother might tote her first
baby.
"It's much more trouble than a
baby" he said. I'm afraid to leave
it anywhere, unless it's in safe,
and even then I'm a bit apprehen-
sive."
The Stradivarius is insured for
100000, but Mr.. Rubinof assures
YOU he wouldn't sell it for three
times that. 1t couldn't be replaced.
It was made in 1871 and that mys-
terious varnish with which the great
violin maker treated his instruments
held an essential factor in their
unexcelled tones-still looks as rich
and fresh as the day the wet brush
was last laid on it.
This instrument once belonged to
Nicholas II, last Gar OF Russia,
the violinist's native land. 1t still
bears the royal crest of the Roman
offs.
But even a Stadivarius needs a
musicological checkup now and then
just as man needs a physiological
one-and Rubinoff took his to a
Washington expert, Albert F. Moglie
of 1912 F street NV. And Mr..
Moglie, violin maker, can dag
nose a violin, said Rubinoff, as a
doctor can detect heart murmur.
Mr.. Moglie pronounced the Rubin
off "Strad" in fine condition, but
suggested some minor adjustments,
which were made.
When Rubinof retired last night,
the violin repcsed in the safe OF
the Washington Hotel.
Rubinof is completing plans with
the Treasury Department to appear
at colleges and high schools all over
the country. He will play and he
will tell his audiences about War
bonds and what they mean in bring
ing victory.
He will visit the Washington
schools at a time to be announced
later. The plans call for him to
give an educational talk and play
at matinees and present straight
concert at night at several schools
and colleges.

Herman B. Barnhart, 10, former

common farmer, and the member
ship Of Negro farmers in general
nomic cooperatives.
The mistreatment by the police
Of soldiers was deplored by the
group.
AS means of reducing the NOR
tality and public contagion result
ing from inadequacies of medical
attention and health knowledge
the group said the minimum health
measures for Negroes would in
clude mandatory provisions that a
proportion Of the facilities in all
public hospitals be available for
Negro patients, that Negro doctors
be either included on the staff for
services to Negro patients or per-
mitted as practitioners and that
Negro public health nurses and
social workers be more exclusive
ly used in both public and private
organizations. The extension OF
Slum clearance and erection OF
low-cost housing was advocated.
Concluding, the statement said:
"It Is a wicked notion that the
| struggle of the Negro for citizen
ship is a struggle against the best
interests Of the nation. To urge such
a doctrine, as many are doing, is
| to preach disunity and to deny the
most elementary principles OF
American life and government.
"The effect of the war has beer
| to make the Negro, in sense, the
symbol and protagonist of every
other minority in America and in
the world at large Local issues ir
| the South, while admittedly hold
ing many practical difficulties
must be met wisely and courageous
ly if this Nation is to become a Sig
nificant political entity in a new in
ternational world. The correction
OF these problems is not only a
moral matter, but a practical ne
I cessity in winning the war and
winning the peace. Herein rests
the chance to reveal our greatest
weakness or our greatest strength. 4"

I'VE are convinced that the

statement said.
Estimating that Negroes will be

the construction of a network Of

One reason for the excellent
fighting spirit of the French ma

French in not establishing rigid
