Newman Rebukes Assessor Smith
For Letter About Air Raid Work
Behooves Every Citizen 10 Be on Alert
To Meet Attack. Writes County Treasurer

And now our attention Is point
edlv called to public officer
quoted in the public press, sno
throwing a vet blanket On the
whole volunteer movement Is this
the sort Of encouragement our peo-
Die need at a time like this? Is
this IN. type Of assistance our
civilian population Is n render the
armed forces If the nation,
IF this critic IL not willing To
lose an occasional hour Of sleep
for our common cause, he should
at least refrain from raising
hindrance 20 those who are sctu-
sted by the patriotic impulse 10
do their bit when their countrys
leaders send out the call.
Instruments Coming
To be sure. this volunteer air
raid patrol has been poorly pre-
pared to make observations scien-
tifieally. No instruments have yet
been provided. But these are on
the way. No strategic site for
making observations was at first
available, but this too has now
been prepared by our county COM
missioners. A location is being
made ready for use. The work is
progressing as rapidly as possible
and very soon the augmented
group of night and day observers
will be trained for their work.
We have not forgotten that it
was this very type Of unselfish
amateur assistance from the pop
ulace Of London that saved that
city from complete snnihilstion
under the ruthless attack of Ger
man bombers.
we make no apologies for our
humble start nor for the spirit of
helpfulness that has prompted
every member to leave his warm
bed at the time appointed for each
to do his shift, in the rain or in
the cold. while their neighbors
slept. We shall continue to carry
on. and we believe we have the
right to demand from every loyal
American an attitude of coopers-
ton. II this is too much to ask.
we who are in the work are in a
mood to appreciate a stretch OF
diplomatic silence on the part of
all who feel inclined to substitute
criticism for constructive personal
help"

ready next year. Gilbert Chase,
assistant in the music division In
charge of the work on Latin Amer
ican music, said the guide will be
a compendium of all aspects Of the
music of the Americas.
photography Compiled.
Mr.. Chase has recently compiled
a photography of Latin American
Folk Music" which will be incor-
porated in the guide. Most of the
nearly 1900 entries in the l49-page
photography have been checked,
examined and annotated by Mr..
Chase and a majority of the works
are to be found in the Library of
Congress. In public announce
ment OF the work in the first part
of May, Archibald MacLeish, Ii
brarian Of Congress, said the bibl-
ography was the most comprehen-
sive in the field, although not in
tended to be exhaustive or def
nitive.
The immediate purpose of this
compilation" Mr.. Chase wrote in
his introduction, is to make avail
able to the greatest number of per-
sons, in the widest possible range Of
musical activities, as many refer
ences on Latin American folk music
as could be assembled within given
time"
Another project, which Mr.. Chase
said is nearing completion, is one
for the exchange of records OF folk
music, including transcriptions for
broadcasts. In still another prof.
ect, Latin American music is being

recorded In Brazil, Colombia and
other countries.
In obtaining folk music Of our
own country the music division has
access to its archive OF American
folk song. in charge of Alan Lomax.
The archive section, Mr.. Chase ex-
planned, operates a recording truck
throughout the country and has
several portable machines for re-
cording folk music. The original
records made in the field wear out
quickly, and 1t is necessary to make
master records, one for the archive
and one from which other duplicates
can be made.
Many Requests for Information.
Requests for information on
Latin American music, he said,
come from all parts Of the country
and from all kinds of people-from
music teachers to soldiers in camps
who perhaps have heard a Latin
sounding tune they want to know
more about. Other requests come
from students who are writing
theses on the subject, Mr.. Chase
said, adding that there appears to
be an epidemic" Of theses on Latin
American music. Asked whether he
felt the current interest in music
of the countries to the south was a
passing fad, Mr.. Chase replied that
he had given q good deal of thought
to the question and felt this way:
Some of it represents a passing
fad as a desire to keep up with
the latest trend. But the subject
itself is so interesting that once
you have begun to get into 1t the
Evening star., 1942-06-01

subject attracts you for its own
sake. The majority of the work be-
ing done under this impulse is of a
permanent nature-musical publi-
cations and recordings Of Latin
American music"
He pointed out further that chill
dren in the schools who are now
engaged in studying this music al
ways will have a familiarity with
the subject which they probably
will pass on to their children. There
will not be the ignorance Of the
past about Latin American music in
the years to come, he predicted.
Union Has Own Section.
Beginning in February Of last
year the Pan-American Union set
up its own special music section
under Charles Seeger. 1t has put
out a number Of publications, in
cluding one by Mr.. Chase on q
partial list of Latin american mu-
sic obtainable in this country. 9th
ers have dealt with recordings OF
American songs and dances
and one on Fourteen Traditional
Spanish Songs from Texas" by Gus
tavo Duran.
