The Cosmos Rooms Jose Morand,
having already been pointed out as
music arranger of wide repute,
also is active on phonograph discs,
a fact which you already know if
you are one of these inveterate
thumbers- through of record cata-
logues.
AS a record enthusiast by profess
sion, then, Mr. Morand has a keen
interest in what transpires on wax,
especially the wax which his COM
pany uses. In more or less con-
suming and earnest fashion, he has
taken a favorable interest in one, an
adaptation of the Fandango move
ment from Rimsky -Korsakow's
glowing suite, "Capriccio Espagnol,"
recorded by Jose Morand and his
orchestra. Although the recording
in these times OF shellac-restricted
record manufacturers is difficult to
obtain, we have been able to get
a copy through the kindness Of Mr..
Morand.
Record review:
A considerably shortened version,
Mr.. Morand's Spanish Caprice"
seems destined to become some
thing OF best-seller among the
Latin-American type music OF re-
cent release. If only Decca seemed
destined to receive a reasonably
sufficient supply Of shellac!?%! Re
organized to fit a bolero framework,
the rhythm is danceable. The Or
chestration, while less ambitious
than Rimsky's, has a respectable de-
gree OF color, even much color,
as dance arrangements go. The
important melodic content has been
retained, down to a little harp
roulade executed on the piano, and
several very nifty violin pizzicati (if
you follow. AS we say, it seems
destined, etc.
End record review:
The idea for making a recording
of "Capriccio Espagnol" struck Mr.
Morand during a rehearsal session
IN which the boys were having fun
with an arrangement of "Rhumba
Rhapsody" 1t happened that Mr.
Morand's v1ollnist by chance struck
up with a violin flourish from the
Rimsky original. AS musician
Mr.. Morand simply saw the posi-.
bilities.

Personal appeals by Mrs. Dan

he was captured by the Japanese,

Congress with having brought about
the passage of legislation which will
provide adequate financial care for

ers who served on Wake, Guam
and in the Philippines.
Under the legislation, sent to Pres
ident Roosevelt yesterday for his
signature, these civilian workers held
by the japanese will be credited
with 100 per cent of their former
pay, where the amount does not
exceed the pay of Government en-
= ployes in similar jobs at the nearest
naval establishment, now Pearl
Harbor.
Dependents of the interned men
will receive 70 per cent Of each pay
check, with the remainder being
reserved for delivery to the men
themselves when they are returned
to the United States. In the case
of single men who have no depend
entS, the full amount of each pay
check will be set aside and given
to them when they return.
Families Received Small Sums.
During the last two years, families
of the interned civilian workers have
been receiving only small remit
tances-never more than $l00 a
month-from the employees compen-
sation.
Unknown to the imprisoned men,
their regular pay checks ceased
abruptly when the islands were
overwhelmed by the Japanese,
Though the workers were engaged
in construction work for the Navy,
there previously has been no pro-
vision for continuation of their SAL
aries during their imprisonment.

DANGEROUS PROPOSAL

By announcing that he will ash
Congress for power to draft men w
to 65 years of age for noncombatan1
military duty, as a strike-breakine
weapon, P I e mt Roosevelt has
heartened the ranks of those working
for compulsion to remedy" industria
unrest.
The President proposes use of q
totalitarian weapon in a democracy
He proposes to weaken the processes
of democracy, not to strengthen them
His proposal will tend to lose him the
support of the great masses of the
working people, which he has hitherto
had, this paper believes.
Mr.. Roosevelt, announcing his pro-
posal, said that before the United
Mine Workers leaders decided to di-
rect the miners to return to work, "the
government had taken steps to set up
the machinery for inducting into the
armed services all miners subject to
the Selective Service Act, who alb
sented themselves without just cause
from work in the mines under govern
ment operation"
This plan of coercion has often been
urged by anti-labor columnists and
politicians and other self-admitted
heavy thinkers who have no real trust
in democratic methods. 1t might be
asked, how would the drafting of
miners have helped the production of
coal? Every miner drafted would have
been one less coal producer. And to
think that this would have intimidated
coal miners into returning to work
when they We're convinced they were
in the right is to have a very poor
opinion indeed of the courage and
stamina of American miners.

GAINS FOR SEAMEN;;
TAX REDUCTION

New York, N. Y. (ILNS).-The
Canadian Seamen's Union, an affiliate
of the International Transport Work
ers' Federation, is negotiating new
agreements which will be concluded
soon with important gains for the
seamen, both ocean-going and inland
lake personnel, according to a report
from headquarters of the Canadian
seamen's movement in Montreal to the
American office of the federation.
The demands of the union include a
daily war risk bonus of $3.50 for lake
seamen and So for salt water seamen,
special 25 percent bonus for vessels
carrying explosives and other i'm
provements in the hitherto unsatisfac-
tory wage and working conditions of
the Canadian merchant seamen.
Recognition of the 8-hour working
day in principle is also demanded, to
go into effect one year after the sue
cessful conclusion of the war. The
Canadian Seamen's Union, it was
stated by officials, feels that the g.
hour day is absolutely necessary in
order to guarantee work to the large
number of seamen now serving in
Canada's armed forces when they re-
turn to civilian life.
Another basic grievance, which has
finally been done away with by action
of the Canadian government and par
lament, is the removal of the tax
levied on the war bonus and special
board allowance of the Canadian mer-
chant seamen. A Canadian A. B. re-
ceives an average monthly pay of
$3.50, which includes war bonus, cost
of living allowance and special
board allowance of $25. Taxes on this
wage amount to altogether $39 per
month. After the unions successful
pleas for the removal of the tax on
the war bonus and the board allow
ance, the monthly tax bill for the Ca
madam seamen has been cut down to a
little more than $12, which means a
savings of $2655 per month.

Recent floods played havoc with

estimated at about 3,775,OO0 acres,

handsome zoot-suits.
There must be no special privilege
in America and the sooner all groups
recognize the obligations of govern

centrating exclusively on their own
elfshlwants, the earlier a new era of
good feeling will usher in an abund-
ance and a prosperity in which vast
social gains will be automatic instead
of synthetic. We must not have an

NAZIISM AT HOME
(From the Washington Post)

The city of Beaumont, Texas has
been the scene of another eruption OF
one of the ugliest aspects of Ameri-
can life. In an attempt to lynch a
Negro accused of rape, mob invaded
the Negro district, burned homes,
wrecked and looted shops. Two men
were killed. State militia were COM
PEELED to impose martial law on the
community.
There is a terrible reminder in this
occurrence that the bestial spirit
which became dominant in Germany is
also latent in the United States. Nazi-
ism is confined to no nationality. 1t is
an attitude. 1t finds expression in the
denial of democratic principles in the
overriding of minority rights, in the
absurd assertion of racial superiority.
1t is even more menacing to our insti-
tutions when it manifests itself here
at home than when it challenges us
from overseas.
What happened in Beaumont is not
peculiarly Beaumont's shame. 1t is a
shame in which all America shares.
We shall succeed in conquering Nazi-
ism not simply by military triumphs,
but by cleasing it's poison from our
own national blood stream.

RUSSIANS LIST
Say Second Front" Would Help

Moscow (ILNS) Russia, making
it's strongest plea yet for the early
opening of second front, said that q
successful Anglo-American invasion
of Europe not only was necessary fol
victory but could bring the war to a
speedy conclusion"
TIL e official Soviet Information
Bureau pleaded the urgency of an AL
lied offensive marking the second an
niversary of Russia's entrance into
the war. 1t said the Red Army already
has fundamentally shattered" the
military power of Germany by infict-
ing these enormous" losses on Ger
many and her satellites in the past
two years:
6,400,OOO officers and men killed or
captured.
$4,000 guns of various calibers de-
stroyed or captured.
42,400 tanks destroyed or captured.
$4,000 aircraft shot down, destroyed
on the ground or captured.
Russian losses for the two-year Pc
riod were listed as 100000 men
killed or missing and $4,000 guns,
10000 tanks and $4,000 aircraft lost.
Everything now depends on the
manner in which our allies will exploit
the favorable situation for creating a
second front in Europe, as victory
over Hitlerite Germany is impossible
without a second 'front.'" the state
ment said.
The absence of a second front in
Europe saved Hitlerite Germany from
defeat in 1912
"To delay opening second front
against Hitlerite Germany would pro-
long the war and mean colossal in
crease in casualties"

Even more alarming than the tota
increase is the fact that the larges
increase has been in the IA and Ii
year old bracket, rather than among
the 16 and II year olds.
Many of these children are being
employed illegally, reports from state
labor departments all over the country
indicate. In 1912 there was an increase
of 123 percent in the number of es-
tablishments found violating the child
labor laws, while 1872 percent more
children were found to be illegally
employed in 1912 compared to 1941.
Yet in the face of these figures, the
present reactionary Congress, appar-
emily blindly intent on fighting
progress, has gone far to approve cuts
for the administration of child labor
provisions OF Une Falr LABOR 0tand-
ards Act. If Congress persists in this
attitude, it must take heavy respon-
sibility for encouraging the growth of
child labor, long fostering evil that
only short time ago seemed def
nitely headed for virtual extinction in
the United States.

WARNINGS SHOWN JUSTIFIED

Sharply worded warnings against
the danger of the wartime increase of
child labor, made repeatedly by the
American Federation of Labor, are
shown to have been fully justified by
latest figures on the employment of
children.
Child labor is gaining at an unpre-
cedented rate throughout the nation,
the Children's Bureau of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor finds. More than
100000 boys and girls between the
ages of IA and II are working in in
dustry today, double the number en-
ployed in 1941.
