Russian War Relief
Concert App|auded
By Notable Audience
Boston Symphony PIuys
Both 'InternutionuIe'
And U. S. Anthem

Democratic Americas war-born
enthusiasm for Soviet Russia sprang
to a new pinnacle last night.
A fashionable audience OF 1000
applauded as the red banner OF the
Soviet was brought to the platform
of Constitution Hall, built and owned
by the Daughters OF the American
Revolution-who in past years have
voted some rather scorching resolu-
tions concerning Communism.
The audience, including Mrs.
Roosevelt and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
stood at attention as the Boston
Symphony Orchestra played THE
Star Spangled Banner" and "The
Internationale."
Enjoys Wife Thrilled.
Soviet Ambassador Maxim Litvi-
noff squared his shoulders at the
opening strains Of the Communist
anthem and solemnly pursed his lips.
His English-bo wife looked out
over the audience, sober and intent.
1T was thrilling to hear it played
by that big orchestra" Nine. Litvi-
noff said afterward back stage. The
times I've heard 1t played in the
Red Square in Moscow"
She was waiting to greet the con-
ductor, Serge Koussevitzky. He Is
the musician who, twice decorated by
the late Gar, left Russia in 1920
because of Lenin and Trotzky."
The whole affair was for the bene-
fit of the Russian War Relief. 1t was
a tribute to the unfiinching people
who have battled Hitler's armies into
their first great retreat.
President Was Patron.
Nine. Litvinoff was hearing the
Soviet national anthem played In
the Capital for the first time by a
major orchestra.
The list of patrons was headed by
President Roosevelt, who seldom
lends his name to a cause.
A fan that matched her nastur-
tium corsage was carried by Mime.
Litvinoff. She said it was given her
by Mrs. Francis Sayre, wife OF the
United States high commissioner to
the Philippines. at the time the Lit
vinoffs stopped at Manila en- route
to the United States, just ahead OF
the Japanese attack.
"I decided wouldn't carry the fan
until I heard that Mrs. Sayre was
safe" she said. Tonight I can
use It,"

eager to tackle a Flying Fortress

Second 1t Robert Meyer of Bir-

I spotted him as a Princeton boy BY
his haircut and sure enough he was
a classmate of Butch" Konoye, son
of Prince Fumimaro Konoye, the
former japanese Premier and once
captain of the Princeton golf team.
Meyer is co-pilot of Flying
Fortress now flying from North
Australian base after fighting IN the
Philippines and Java.
During the battles in the Philip
pines and Java the crews Of the
fortresses had tough going. The
ships were older models without
that stinger of twin 50-caliber ma
chineguns in the tail.
Blind Spot Eliminated.
The japanese quickly found the
blind spot and would fly in directly
behind the fin. shooting from an
angle on which the fortress guns
could not bear.
When the newer fortress arrived
1t was a different story. The first
encounter was disastrous.
