HOLLYWOOD
BY ERSfuNF JOHNSON

Paul Whiteman, perennial dean
of modern American music, is ron
ming around guffawing in no mild
tones these days. The jolly White
man, whose knowledge of music
and its significance is boundless, is
getting his laughs from Benito
Mussolini's recent edict barring
Italy's time-honored strolling min
stlels from the streets of Italia's
towns and villages.
"Ha! Mussolini is finally ad-
hitting defeat" he said. ITO me,

welt, said there is cause for grave
concern but not for dispair."
Haas said, on the basis of per
sonal observations, that the racial
disorders in Detroit were not fan
ned by the Axis, the Ku KluX Klan
or other m-American groups, but
resulted from inadequate housing,
recreation and transportation. Wher-
ever such conditions exist, he said,
Imperial Valley press., 1943-07-08

1t is clear that old MuSSy is getting
scared around the gillS-afraid that
his people will mess around with
mandolins and music and forget
there's war going on"
Whiteman's 220 pound frame
shook with glee.
Music" he said, "is the most
potent propaganda force in the
world. If Mussolini had a gray
cell in that Uranium of his, he'd
encourage his people TO knock
themselves out with music-music
Of their homeland, their vineyards,
their families, music to stir their
patriotic fervor and make them
FEEL the significance of what
they're fighting for.
Just think of it," Whiteman
continued, propaganda is merely
particular line of thinking which
is placed in peoples minds by any
persons, or group Of persons, who
desire to bring about certain
public opinion on any given sub
ject. And music is a molder of
public opinion, feelings and emo
tionS."
PET SUBJECT
Whiteman was warming up to his
pet subject.
Music" he said, has set people
to fighting and to embracing each
other, alternately, since time be-
gan. Music makes the soldier
march in double time when his
legs are weak from hunger and
fatigue.
What kept the army of the
North going strong during the
Civil War? A fife and drum corps
in every company What lightened
the hearts of the losing Southern
soldiers? Dixie
I'VE didn't want to fight the
last World War. AS nation, we
struggled to keep out of it. Then
George NJ Cohan knocked out a
tune called over There which set
the whole nation singing - then
feeling-the thrill of the fighting
spirit The Yanks sang it on
Battle-Ground transports, and sang
it in the trenches-and fought with
blood in their eyes at the sound of
the melody.
I'VE didn't want to fight in this
war. Then Irving Berlin supplied
the music that played on our
heartstrings, God Bless America,
and, somehow, the words and mu-
sic helped US to see that America
was worth fighting for-and we're
fighting"
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
The songwriters of a nation,
Whiteman contends, can write the
emotions of the people into notes

In addition, Cecil TEX Hughson,
the lean pitching star of the Sox,
has proved himself unquestionably
the outstanding hurler in the league.
Last night he beat the Athletics, IL
with flve-hit pitching for his seventh
victory and fourth straight. In these
four games he has allowed 8, 4,4and
5 hits, respectively.
He had a shutout till the eighth,
