Identification with the masses-he
was clerk In q Shanghai depart
ment store. Every day after he had
punched his time clock, he would
retire to his mean dwelling and
labor over song after song, in a
style that combined the rhythms of
Western civilization with the exotic
cadences of his own. His "Volun-
teers" march was one Of this cate
CORY, but written with the pointed
purpose-recalling past inroads by
the enemy on the islands-of ex-
pressing Stirring cry Of pain and
rage"
Shortly before the Japs took up
their latest and grimmest assault
on Mich Erh's native land, the little
clerk finally saved enough funds to
study music professionally. But his
Inherent Oriental wisdom forsook
him at this point: he chose to study
IN Japan. The last report on Nieh
Erh, which originated from Toxic
sources, was that he had drowned
while swimming" Which attested
eloquently to the fact that his bud
ding reputation as q patriot had
not remained confined to China.
But 1t was not until after this
war broke out that the Chinese peo-
pie took the Shanghai store clerks
"cry OF pain and rage" to their
hearts. That they have now found
the song expresses their profound
est sentiment as civilization out
ragged yet determined to resist,
would have made Mich Erh serenely
happy as he retired to the hills to
fight with bullets as well as music.
For reasons, probably. Of neces-
sity, Paul Young, who owns and

goes scouting for 1t himself. Mr..
Young won't admit it was forced
upon him by an attitude Of artists
bureaus, which in effect Is one Of
"go find talent yourself: we have
gave up" Mr.. Young's searches
for entertainment doubtless will
take him to many cities and ham,
let's beyond the Washington metro
politan area. At any rate, his latest
acquisition, a singer, Murray White,
came under Mr.. Young's scrutiny
in Leon and Eddie's New York

Virginia Makes Haste
To Prepare for Duke
By the Associated Press.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Nov. 8.
I-Virginia's football team will lose
no time this afternoon starting
preparations for its toughest assign
ment of the season thus far, playing
Dukes powerhouse at Durham Sat-
urday.
Coach Frank Murray and his staff
made plans this morning for an
other full-scale Monday practice. In
defeating Maryland, 800, as in win
ming from V. M. I. week earlier,
81 squad members saw action and
none of the Cavaliers was used
enough to require the Monday after
noon layoff usually following a hard
game.
Murray was proud of the per-
formance of his charges in defeating
the heavier Maryland team by so
wide a margin. 1t was the first
time in the 45-year -old series be-
tween the two rivals that one team
had beaten another by more than
three touchdowns.
What pleased Murray most was
the sudden effectiveness of the
Cavalier passing attack, which
yielded three touchdowns, after hav-
ing been ineffective through earlier
| games.
