Marine Choir Is

SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH
PACIFIC At Sea- - The usual
variety card Games in the recre-
alton hall aboard this transport
were outdrawn the other night by
an unorthodox offering - a pro-
gram of spirituals sung by an I'M

The singers were members of a
detachment of Negro Marines. AS
they first started to sing such STAN
dard spirituals as Down BY the
River Side" the singers were alone
in one corner of the recreation hall
the chow hall became the rec"
hall at nights when the smoking
lamp was out on deck.
But soon after the devoutly-sung
melodies had begun, spectators at
the black jack and poker games
drifted over and eventually there
were more Marines listening to the
singing than watching the men try
ing to hit the number il the black
lack games and fill the stralghts
and flushes in the poker sessions.

The internationally famous ten

sang several old favorites, few
newer melodies, and then joined

Among the audience were U. S.

top music critics, royalty, high
ranking allied army officers, fellow
soldiers, Red Cross workers and ex-
pensively- clad women in autumn

vaded the vast hall from the time
of the earliest arrival and contin-
ued throughout the concert, first OF
its kind ever held here.

AUCTION Of eOthello" in Boston
The play will be in Boston two
weeks following its opening on the

performance in New Haven, Conn
This marks the first time that a
Me- no has been stage cast as the
husband of a white woman, ana
the great Shakespearean drama of
the BLACK Moor" will open on
Broadway the middle OF October.
After a year, during which the
actors have been able to give more
careful attention to the problems
of the play, the performance shows
q great deal more maturity than
last summers production at the
Cambridge Summer theater and at
the Princeton playhouse, which
was hailed then as a most brilliant
piece.
Robson is still Robson, and is
tremendous as Othello. His voice,
his carriage, his power are all
massive in their import and raise
the Moor to height from which
hiS subsequent fall is catastrophe.
At least, in spite of the duality
of his character, Iago played by
Jose Ferrer, mas a most dynamic
part in tn eplay. But Othello must
stand as object great enough fer
his fell TO shock the audience. That
is calling almost for the super

NEW RESPONSIBILITIES

War brings many problems for the nations law
enforcement officers. Not only must the arm of the
law become especially vigilant in watching for the
foreign agent and saboteur, but war conditions at
home always seem to bring new crime waves to
combat
j. Edgar Hoover Director of the FBI, in a re-
cent address to graduating class of new officers,
points that last years crime figures were truly
alarming.
Youth in crime was much more apparent. With
l8-year-olds leading in the number of persons ar
rested, the magnitude of the problem may be seen.
The nations youths under voting age accounted for
is percent of all murders 35 percent of all robberes
So percent of all thefts and so percent of all
burglaries
So the law enforcement agencies unable to close
their eyes to the home front, have double job.
BY Presidential directive, the FBI has the duty
of combating the spy the saboteur, the subverter
and the foreign agent.
In this latter job loyal American citizens can
help and have been helping in some instances lit

Voluntary life insurance and its related savings

tenn which enables democracy to thrive in the abb
sence of a capitalistic system.
Yet it is more than idle fear that the life in
surance program of the nation will be adversely af-
fected to very marked degree under impending
circumstances. Heavily increased Federal taxes are
certain to reduce the amount of money which other
wise would find its way, in part at least, into indi-
vlual savings programs and family protection such
as life insurance offers OF necessity such taxes have
first claim upon the budget.
Federal taxes cannot be reduced in the near flu
ture We shall be lucky if it is not necessary to in
crease them still more But some leeway should be
provided for the continuance of individual thrift
in later years we will reap the consequences. And
by consequences we do not mean merely the matter

The way to ease the competition between taxes

is to permit life insurance premiums up to rea-

An effort to accomplish this already is being
made in the Senate by Senator Styles Bridges OF

officers of the FBI by various persons Each report
had to be investigated and in no instance did re-
port turn out to be true The alleged paratroopers
turned out to be everything from man carrying a

This is merely small indication of the added

Rumor mongers make the work Of the law en-

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not c0nspeF'
TUESDAY JUNE 8

Benefic aspects rule this day
which should be most suspicious for
labor and the industries. The con-
figuration is fortunate for men in
authority.
HEART AND HOME: Letters
from husbands and sons serving
with the armed forces should be
received under this rule of the
stars. This is a promising date
for women who sign contracts and
should be profitable for actresses
and singers. This is lucky sway
for school and college festivities
which will be less gay than in pre-
vious years but of special signifi-
canoe. Summer students who are
perfecting themselves in technical
training are under the best plane
tary influences. ~
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: According
to certain signs, Government direc-
ton or supervision of many lines
of business will not end with the
world war. There will be choice
of policies that have been tried
out during emergencies and have
been found most practical and
these will meet with popular sup
port in the reconstruction period
The remarkable vitality of Ameri-
can business will be demonstrated
through unexpected and sudden
crisis. Emphasis is put upon the
sudden tests to our trade and COM
merce.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Through
this month there will be many
tragic reminders of the real aims
Of war which fails to take cogniz-
ance of human ties and individual
ambitions. The count in casual
ties will not be adequate as a meas
ure of real losses, for the nation
will lose its future scientists, indus
trialists and political leaders, its
artists, musicians and writer's. Am
erican lives represent superb tall
ents, broad education and lofty as
pirations which will be sacrificed.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S
Iraq and Syria will be prominent
in the war news through coming
months. The land bridge of Arabia
has been recognized as one of the
keystones of victory AS the thirty
first nation to join the Allies, Irac
will gain right to a leading role
in the Near East after the war. The
Seers emphasize the fact that the
vast. expanse of war-torn territory
causes the regions least often in
the daily news. and yet exceedingly
important in peacetime conferences
/ to be overlooked.
! Persons WHOSE birthdate it is
have the augury of year in which
much will be gained. Promotion
and recognition are indicated.
Children born on this day prob.
ably will be talented popular anc
fortunate. Artistic folk belong t.
this ocean of the month.
