Several score former air liners,
stripped Of passenger seats and
fancy fitting and repainted an olive
drab color, have joined the Army
to carry soldiers and military cargo.
Air officials said yesterday most of
the 80 or more liners whose surren-
der to the War Department was an
nounced month ago had been di-
verted to domestic and overseas
routes prescribed by the Army. and
their cargoes restricted to military
purposes.
Crews are the same that flew and
maintained the planes in peacetime
commercial service, under the ar
rangement by which the War De-
partment took over about fourth
Of all air liners.
Separate agencies have been set
up by major lines to operate the
aerial cargo service for the Army
Radio and other facilities are shared
where feasible by the commercial
and military services, whose routes
in some instances are parallel.
Latest to open a military cargo
route Is the Delta Air Lines in the
south, which announced it would
begin operations May Is. Pennsyl-
vania Central, new United Air
Lines victory" subsidiary, and
Braniff, among others, similarly
have put to work the equipment di-
verted to war use.
Altogether the War Department
has announced taking over some ITO
air liners since Pearl Harbor.

By HELEN LOMBARD.

The vision of Mrs. Leon Hender-
son, hanging precariously from a
window ledge while she washed off
the panes with an old-fashioned
mixture of ammonia and water,
would have caused quite a lot of
buZzing in Washington social cir
cles sometime ago.
War, however, has changed all
that. Dowagers may have to walk
to dinner parties: members of the
formerly privileged diplomatic corps
who happen to live near bus line
are congratulating themselves. An
empty toothpaste tube now has be-
come as acceptable a present as an
orchid

task Of washing. yelled en-
couragement as they went by.
Accent of New Era.
The Hendersons sometimes have
been accused of OVERRIDING the SIM
plicity pose, but Washington is be-
ginning to realize that what ap-
peared in the pre-Pearl Harbor days
to be exaggerated simplicity is now
becoming the accent of a new era.
When the Hendersons came to
Washington during the first New
Deal, full of high motives and
world-reforming resolves they were
described as extremists.
Mr.. Henderson, however, has been
oblivious of criticism. He has
plugged along, gaining in stature,

but never reaching for the spotlight
while his wife remainind uncon-
taminated by the various bugs that
infest the air of the Capital.
The Hendersons never have seen
themselves in the distorting mirror
before which so many Capital po-
hticos like to preen themselves. The
Henderson style of living has never
exceeded the family budget. The
children are still allowed to play
hop-scotch on the pavement and
to answer the doorbell on Mrs. Hen
derson's Tuesdays at home"
Attitude Not a Pose.
The lust folks" attitude of the
Hendersons is not a pose. But
sophisticated Washington has found
it hard to believe that a former
teacher of economics could still be
interested in economics and that
his wife could still be interested in
home and children after eight years
in the glamorous Capital.
Like most housewives, Mrs. Hem
derSon has made no bones of her
desire to beat the rationing game
and to purchase soon-to-be rationed
articles before the official ban has
been announced.
Unable to wheedle off -the-record
hints from her husband, she has
been laying in supplies of various
and sundry articles which have not
yet been rationed. She has been
able to onutguess the director of the
Q. P. A. only once: She bought a
bicycle the day before the ban and
triumphantly announced that she
had beat Leon to it that time any,
way.

instructive to sing>these songs than
do white students; their instructors
are not doing them an injustice by
teaching them Brahms. The Ne
groes Of the Georgia sea Islands
have lived in isolation for genera
tons with little or no opportunity
for advancement and improvement
OF their standard of life. Just as
hillbilly songs have been preserved
in some remote sections and are
now being recorded and evaluated
at their true worth. so these songs
deserve attention and study. Yet the
day will come when even these
Negroes will find opportunity for
greater development and the slave
songs will survive only on record
ings or through the efforts Of a
few individuals like those who are
now singing the old ballads and
hillbilly songs with great effect.
Words and music OF large num-
Der OF shout songs, ring-play. dance
and fiddle songs and work songs
are given here. There are number
Of illustrations Of the Negroes who
still sing and dance in the old way.
The value Of this music is great and
Mrs. Parrish has done fine job in
this study. The book is very at
tractive in its formal and has
fine introduction by DIN Downes.
Students of music especially will
find the book stimulating.

UP FROM THE CANEBRAKES
by David Dewitt rurpeau, Sr. pub
lished by the author, Cincinnati,
Ohio, IS cents) is an autobiography
telling OF Mr.. Turpeau's rise to the
position Of prominent Methodist
churchman and member Of the Ohio
legislature from Hamilton county.
Born a poor boy in St Martinsville,
La, Rev. Turpeau has made name
for himself in Methodist church
circles and is serving his second
term in the Ohio Assembly. For this
reason alone the book has merit as
the Recommendation Of varied and
Influential life. Too often men who
have made significant marks in
life leave no record Of their lives
to fill in the gaps in Negro history
and to inspire younger generations.
This pamphlet, the author states, is
the first OF three which are to be
published later in book form.
The author Of SLAVE SONGS OF
THE GEORGIA SEA ISLANDS (by
Lydia Parrish. the Creative Age
Press. New York City. $3.50 is
deeply concerned with the passing
into oblivion OF the slave songs
which if properly studied and ap-
preciated would provide a new
dynamic to musical composition
today. Mrs. Parrish avoids the use
of the word spiritual which has
been used so loosely and which she
states was originally applied only
to the slave songs OF Georgia and
South Carolina.
Mrs. Parrish devotes some at
tention to the African survivals on
the coast of Georgia and states in
this connection that Of all the
authors who write about the Negro,
Professor Herskovits is the
most convincing. The author has
organized two groups on ST. Simon's
island In an attempt to preserve
the old songs. dances and games.
She points out that the Negroes
were at first ashamed to do the old
dances and songs and onlv 5S9ined
confidence when they were assured
Of her genuine appreciation for
them.
Mrs. Parrish criticizes severely
the type of education which Ne
zroes have been given which causes
Negro teachers of music in Negro
schools to teach "Europesnized
book versions" rather than the in
digenous music. Granting the i'm
portsnce Of the Negroes recognition
Of his cultural heritage and the
pride which he should take in this
heritage, it would be extremely dif-
ficult for him to preserve these
songs and customs Of another day
unless he stayed apart from the
stream OF American progress. Stu
dents at the Negro colleges Of which
Mrs. Parrish speaks find it no more
