Gas Applications Due
In Arlington Today
B and c Drivers Must
Mail Blanks to Board

Today is the deadline for Airing
ton County motorists to mail their
applications for B and c gasoline
ration renewals to the county ration
board. About 10000 applications
are expected.
John De Lashmutt, chairman of
the board. said that motorists hold
ing B or c books, regardless of the
date OF issue, must obtain renewal
blanks, fill them out and mail them
to the board not later than today,
along with tire inspection records.
Blanks are obtainable at all gaso-
line and tire inspection stations in
the county.
Pointing out that this is the sec
ond attempt by the board to mail
books to motorists in an effort to
save gasoline and time, Mr.. De
Lashmutt said the success or failure
of this method is important in de-
Gliding methods of future issuances.
If today's deadline is met, he
said, workers will have sufficient
time to audit and return books be-
fore the current ones expire. No
applications for gasoline except
those indicating crucial need will
be handled by the board after the
deadline, he warned.

Conductor Credits Great Strides
In u. S. Music to Youth
Borzin, Water Cote
Guest, Likes Their
Responsiveness

Youth has given America pre-
eminence over European musicians,
says Leon Barzin, musical director
and conductor of the National
Orchestral Association.
Mr.. Barzin, who will be guest con-
ductor at the National Symphony
Orchestra's concert tonight at the
Water Gate, probably knows more
about young musicians than any
other conductor in the Nation. He
supplies young musicians to the 81
major orchestraS in this country, his
organization being bridge between
music schools and professional ex-
perience.
Unlike other conductors, ne Is
pleased to lose his best musicians.
They go on to better things.
What thrills me most" he said.
SIS that my graduates are earning
more than $l,500,000 a year"
In l3 years Mr.. Barzin has trained
more than $500 instrumentalists in
orchestral routine and repertoire.
Even Toscanini was puzzled that
Mr.. Barzin had not taken a con-
ductor's post in a big orchestra.
Accept. Innovations.
Il derive greater satisfaction from
what I am doing" he said. Il get
hold Of young men and women fresh
from music schools. They are play
ers, they can read notes, but they
are not musicians. They lack ex-
perience. like their pep, their
ability, their readiness to assimilate
new interpretations.
America owes much to these
young musicians. Each year I lose
about 33 per cent Of my orchestra.
You might say my organization Is
laboratory for every sort Of musical
approach. These young players
know their progress is dependent on
their ability. Some stay with me
two or three years, some only one
year.
They come from all over the
country. They know they need sea-
soning to become acclimated to the
concert field. Older musicians tend
10 1all into a regular routine, but
the younger men and women are
looking to the future, full of new
ideas, responsive to suggestions.
Unlike older players. who are re-
sistant to change. the young mu-
slclans are ready to embrace inno-
vations."
When student finishes his train
ing with Mr.. Barzin's orchestra he
has mastered $40 works. He is
then qualified to go into the radio
or symphonic field. according to his
individual speciality.
Mr. Barzin has definite ideas about
the future of symphony orchestras.

del County.
Mr. Dulin requested that the
President "ask the housing author
ity to make further examination
of the proposed project"
Inadequate transportation facili-
ties and an inadequate water sup
ply were cited by Mr.. Dulin as rea-
sons why residents do not want
these homes built.
Mr.. Dulin, the county commits
sioners and other local and State
authorities have been protesting the
FPHA's plan for some time now in
an effort to stop the proposed con-
struction.
Not only are public facilities de-
clared insufficient by opponents OF
the housing proposal, but the in
creased tax load on the county's
limited financial resources would be
burdensome, they declare, especially
since Anne Arundel receives no rev.
enue from the defense plants In
which these migrant war workers

and we have often wondered what
was In their minds.
A story told to me, by some one
whom I considered reliable, shows
the cruelty Of the Japanese soldier.
After the fall of certain city, when
the japanese were marching in, a
small outfit OF Japanese headed by a
second lieutenant came upon hos
pital. In the lobby they saw a few
rifles and Army equipment which
had been left by war weary soldiers.
The Japanese lieutenant Immediate
ly ordered that every one in the
hospital be bayoneted and killed.
The lieutenant, obviously, thought
the Emperor would be pleased.
Has Inferiority Complex.
The japanese has tremendous
inferiority complex, the result, I
sincerely believe, of being brought
up only to think of the Emperor and
his government.
The average Japanese does not
even have an independent religion.
All our ideas Of God and Chris
tianity are stupid to him. In Santo
Tomas University in Manila, we had
a Catholic church on the campus,
but the Japanese put barbed wire
around it to prevent worship there.
They even forbade religious parades
and mass meetings by Filipinos in
the city.
They insisted that all schools in
Manila teach the Japanese Ian
guage and, when the pupils had
mastered it, all lessons were to be
in Japanese and their religion was
to be Japanese. Thus they sought
to teach the Filipino to become a
Japanese and worship not their God,
but the Emperor.
II were asked, specifically, what
Is In the mind of the Japanese SOL
dier In this war, I would venture
this answer: His mind is full of
military ardor. of a conviction of
invincibility, of a high resolve to
glory IN death for the honor and
success of his Emperor and country,
of lust for conquest, especially of
white people and of a contempt for
his foes.

as mean. unscrupulous group, who
delighted in torturing the Chinese.
But what of them as individuals?
The thing loathe about him most
Is the way he treats his women folk
To him his wife Is merely a servant
She must obey every wish. follow
him at a discreet distance when
they are walking, bow every time
he appears. She must never talk
to him unless spoken to, nor can she
voice any opinion on any subject
whatsoever. If he desires another
woman, his wife must serve her food
and wait on her when he brings the
woman to their home He has SINH
lar ideas about the white girl
AS for our idea of treating wom-
an as an equal, of spelling her a
little and letting her voice opinions
he does not understand and does not
wish to understand. He has a great
contempt for the way American men
respect and treat their women.
Puppet for Emperor.
To him the Emperor is God. He
learns to fight blindly for the EN-
peror. But this is not courage and
fortitude. This is merely ignorance
The Japanese soldier is not an indi-
vidual. He is a puppet for the
Emperor.
began to realize all this after
was caught in Manila. trying to
escape the war in December, 1941
The japanese interned us in Santo
Tomas University. We all had oc-
casion to meet the Japanese soldier
there individually.
During the first part of our in
ternment they appeared to me in
much the same light as they did in
Shanghai. They still seemed to fear
the white man. although they had
wrested huge sections OF territory
from him.
For instance, one night small
group Of drunken japanese soldiers
came into the camp yelling. singing
and shouting. After this had been
going on for perhaps half an hour
one woman in a neighboring room
became exasperated She went to
the window and told them in Eng
lish to keep quiet, One of the
soldiers apparently understood and
silenced the rest of them. Shortly
they staggered out of the camp.
Realize Their Power.
But as time went by they began to
realize that they were top dog"
Still everything they did was what
they thought the Emperor would do
himself and what he wanted them
to do. Because I was engaged to a
marine officer who at the time was
fighting on Corregidor they ques-
toned me many times.
My first questioning, lasting three
hours, involved questions regarding
my fiancee's rank, pay and uniform
At the end Of the interview" the
second lieutenant said "the Emperor
would be interested in this" It was
evident that his one thought was the
interest his Emperor would show in
my answers.

Points on Insulation

The use of insulation in postwar
home building will be considered as
fundamental as the installation of
plumbing and lighting, according to
the Insulation Board Institute. Pub
lie understanding of the value of
insulation has been greatly increased
by the war, largely due to fuel con-
servation campaigns carried on by
Government agencies. Many homes
being planned for the future will
derive their insulation from the
structural materials with which they
are sheathed and lathed.
