WARTIME CULTURE BOOM

! most of the wartime coal produc-
ton of our ally down under.
The miners just dropped every
thing and quit The reason, was
that the government or some other
powers had decided that for the
duration, the nine-ounce beer
glasses would be cut to seven and
a half ounces.
The miners got their ounce and
a half of beer back and returned
to work.
The only wholesale protests
against the Victory tax to reach
the ears of Treasury officials
comes from an unexpected source:
several church groups and de-
nominations.
The protest isn't against the tax
itself but against making churches
the collection agencies for deduc-
tions from the pay of pastors and
other employees.
Rev. Thomas Boorde, pastor of
the Anacostia Baptist church
here, took up the matter in SER
mon recently, saying that "mak-
ing the church collecting agen-
cy undoubtedly violates the prin'
ciple of the separation of church
and state" .... .e ..... .
In The Lutheran, church pa
per, it was reported that Rev. r.
G.. Baucum, vice president of the
Baptist General Convention OF
Texas. declared: ut 0he collec-
ton clause of the bilD opens our
churches to bureaucratic control.
This gives the federal govern
ment the right to check our
church finances. 90. ..9. .-
Treasury officials said they
had received no official protests
as yet on the matter. Off the
record, one opinion was express

ed that the matter would have to
amendment to the tax law before
ether means of collection could
be resorted to.

WOMAN ARRESTED
FOR SHOPLIFTING

Viola Bell was arrested yester-
day for shoplifting in the Broad
way Supermarket.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. c. Moulton, of
the Gulf Stream Trailer Park,
were in the Broadway making the
rounds of the store to obtain the
groceries they wished, when they
said they saw a woman, who later
gave her name as Viola Bell, put
ting glasses of jellies and other
things into a large handbag which
she carried.
The store provides baskets for
that purpose, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Moulton, aware of the fact, report
ed the incident to John Rivero
one of the brothers who own the
store, and when he searched the
handbag he learned that the IN
formation was true.
He had the woman arrested,
and she was taken to the city jail
by Police Officer Ansel Albury
who later turned her over to the
sheriff's office.
She will be arraigned at

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The
capital in wartime:
The Army's drive to end the
conceit and braggadocio that Of
ten result in blabbing information
of value to the enemy brought out
this story of a broadcast that back
fired:
1t happened on an airllner bound
from Pittsburgh to Washington.
He was just a garrulous private
and he wore the starred bar that
showed he had been in action.
In a voice that carried over a
large section of the cabin, he an
nounced that he had been in
Guadalcanal, had killed 81 Japs
single-handed. He told about his
trip home on a transport. He an
nounced proudly he was going to
preflight training school to be-
come a combat pilot. He just
coulden't wait to get in the air.
Boy, what he would do. -.
About that time the airliner hit
the mountains and began to bounce
around like corn on a pepper. In
five minutes the loud lad was sill
ent and sea-green. At the Wash
ington airport, he climbed un-
steadily from the plane - but he
squared himself with the other
passengers. He donned a Sickly
grin and said: Gee, did l get what
was coming to me-"
The strike of $1,000 miners in
the anthracite fields of Pennsyl-
vania in protest against an IN
crease in union dues may seem to
be strange cause to the average
American, but this isn't the only
warning nation with strike trou-
bles that have nothing to do with
hours or wages.

returned from Australia tells of a

TRUCK DRIVER
IS ARRESTED
BOB HOLMES CHARGED WITH
DRUNKEN DRIVING
AFTER CRASH a.'n'

Like the cat in the story, the
driver of the truck that the coast
guardSmen held at Marathon, came
back, and was arrested on a
charge of drunken driving.
His name is Bob Holmes. AS told
in The Citizen yesterday, Holmes
is alleged to have caused an acct
dent Saturday night, while drlv-
ing his truck, and on Sunday
night is charged with having been
driving again while drunk. He es-
capped before he could be detained
by the coast guardsmen, and his
truck was held till he or its owner
turned up to claim it.
The guardsmen yesterday in
formed the sheriff's office of
Holmes return, and Deputy
Sheriff Joe Knight and State
Highway Patrolman Walker went
to Marathon and arrested him.
Justice of the Peace Enrique
Esquinaldo said today that Holmes
is charged with drunken driving
and obstructing traffic His case
will come up for hearing at 3
o'clock this afternoon. His bond
has been fixed at 500.

AS THINGS ARE GOING in CAPITAL

ponds almost altogether on local
conditions whether music is flour
ishing or alternating. Cities which
are taking in much war money are
breaking records - Seattle, for
example, has been averaging three
sold out houses for musical at
fractions week; Chicago is
flouriShing, and so are many cities
such as Portland, Ore.
San Francisco finished its usual
fall opera season without a deficit
for the first time in history.
Popular artists have never been
more successful - Heifetz has
played to a succession of sold out
houses, Yehudi Menuhin has had
a similar experience, Helen Trau-
bel has packed them in.
Most managers pick as the i'm
portant fact about wartime au-
diences the circumstance that au-
diences as a whole are younger
than they ever have been, even
though millions of young men
and women are in service or war
work. In Boston, particularly, the
war has reversed the Boston Sym
phony's audience trend.
In other days, according to
George r. Judd, manager, the
Symphony matinees were uni
fornly sold out, and extra seats,
if any, were to be had for evening
performances. With so many wo-
men in war work, the extra seats
are now available afternoons.
Photograph companies had a
difficult year, what with shellac
shortages and their trouble with
James C. Petrillo. For the last half
of the year there has been no re-
cording, and lists of new record
ings have shrunk, although both
Columbia and Victor still have
respectable backlogs of unreleased
good" music.
Popular recordings, being affairs
of the moment, have suffered
most. And Dmitri Shostakovich's
Seventh symphony has had the
biggest, if not the best, press of
all recent major works and would
have sold hundreds of thousands
of albums, most likely.
A dozen conductors stand poised
to wax the symphony, but Pc

The Metropolitan is in a glow
of happiness. Already, according
to Earle r. Lewis, it has played
to 10000 more people than in the

II one can be found who will meet

Pointing out that the school has
been without janitor service this

Halloween Cost
District $500
IFor Street Lights

Halloween week end cost the Dis
trict $3.50.
That's the estimate of the cost OF
the broken street lights in the Dis
trict and nearby Maryland Walter
z. Kern, District electrical engineer
said 34l street lights would have to
be replaced in the District and 307
in nearby Maryland.
Other replacements will call for
81 large globes in Washington and
four In Maryland at q cost of $3.50
each. Vandals also destroyed 1C
metal street signs N Spring Valley
section and many broken street signs
were reported throughout the city.
To add to confusion. street signs
were switched in Spring Valley and
IL sockets were pulled out OF lamps
in the alley of the 300 block of Six
teenth and Seventeenth streets Sc
a practice which Mr. Kern said could
have been fatal to the vandal.
Final figures on Halloween van
dalism showed that 73 more lamps
were broken this year than last year
but 81 less globes.
