said Cpl. Marc Blitzstein, white
who in 1897 wrote the musical play

John Houseman.
A recent article by CPL Blitz-
stein reveals that he has spent
the past two weeks living WITH
the ~. S. Army Negro chorus,
some 200 aviation engineers OF
the 9Th battalion, stationed some
where in England. Blltzsteln
coached the group in Earl Robin

at the same time worked on MS
own orchestral work, Freedom
Morning" which he dedicated to
these soldiers.
"All my belief in the American
Negro as an integral and vital part
Of growing American culture
musical, artistic, civic, human and
social-has been strengthened" he
declared.
He speaks of the composition OF
the 200 aviation engineers OF the
9Th battalion as being made up OF
men from Harlem, HARVEST Wash
ington, Missouri and the corn
and cotton belts of the deep south;
their dialects are described as ur-

clared the corporal, whether hap
piness, misery or anger. He SAN
ctions the words of John Stein

that the spiritual, as sung by
American Negro soldiers, might
well turn out to be our war song"
In further proving their love
for song, Blitzstein reports that
the soldiers rehearsed in the even
ings, during their off hours, after
a hard days toll at building a
flying fortress airdrome. When
they worked" he said they hand
led technical equipment, surveyed,
and were expert in their highly
skilled jobs. At night, tired as they
we're, their unfailing attendance at
rehearsals proved how much they
loved to sing"

Critics Claim
He Ripened 10
Full Maturity
Singer Welcomed
To City Hall By
Acting Mayor
By RUTH RoLEN

PHILADELPHIA - CA N p
Colored theater-goers sat primly IN
their seats last Monday night at
the Locust theatre. The Theatre
guild was presenting the opening
performance of the Shakespeare
tragedy, "Othello.''
Impatience for the raising of the
curtain, expressed only by glances
at watches, was felt not only by
those who are lovers of the thea
tire, but more so by those who
wanted to see white Philadelphia's
reaction to intimate scenes be-
tween a white actress and a color
ed actor.
Those who were not familiar
with the production were disap-
pointed that the close relationship
suggested in print was portrayed
on stage by an embrace in which
there were no caresses with the
lips. The majority of both white
and colored, however was SO en-
tranced in Paul RobeSon's superb
Characterization of the leading role
that all else save his fine acting
was forgotten.
The press, radio, and critics in
general are saying that Robeson's
conception of the character has
ripened to its full maturity, that
he draws truly magnificent por-
trait.
The internationally famed singer
and actor was welcomed at city
hall Monday noon by the acting
mayor, Bernard A. Samuel. There
he signed the visitors book, a
privilege reserved for those OF
major Importance.

Poultry on the legal market was

maximum prices of from l to 3
cents more than the larger places.
Chains Claim Squeeze
When the April Is ceilings were
first announced, 1t was calculated
that chain stores would be per-
mitted to raise their prices on an
average of about Is per cent. Chain
store officials at that time said they
intended to take advantage Of the
higher maximum prices that were
to be granted because, they ex-
planned, they have been squeezed"
between high wholesale prices and
low retail ceilings almost from the
beginning of the price control pro-
gram.
Present ceilings are pegged at
levels prevailing in March. 1912. At
that time, chain store prices were
much lower than those in effect
in most smaller independent stores
Meanwhile, wholesale meat prices
were allowed to continue rising be-
fore ceilings were imposed, with the
result that chain store prices fell
out of line with other meat prices,
it was reported.
The OPA admitted that the April
Is order was promulgated with a
view toward relieving the pressure
on chain stores. The prices of most

In deploring the press restric-

ference, Senator Ferguson con-
tended there is no military infor-
nation involved that would justify
secrecy, and added:
The only possible excuse for the
elaborate secrecy which is to sur
