New Songs Proposed
For a New Germany.
To the Editor Of The Star:


In reading the story Of Russias de-
cision to replace her national anthem,
the 1nternationale, with one which en-
phasizes constructive patriotism, I felt
encouraged to present a proposal re-
garding Germany which I have had
In mind for many years.
II seems quite evident to anv i'm
partial observer that Germany has lost
the war. No one really knows when the
war Will end, but we are sure that the
United Nations will be victorious. When
hostlllties cease the main problem will
be the re-education of Germany. Our
general policy was formulated by Presi-
Gent Roosevelt in his Christmas eve
broadcast: The United Nations have
no intentions to enslaye the German
people. We wish them to have a nor
mai chance to develop, in peace, as
useful and respectable members of the
european family. But we must certainly
emphasize that word 'respectable'-for
we intend to rid them once and for all
OF Naziism and Prussian militarism and
the fantastic and disastrous notion that
they constitute the master race"
Most OF us will agree that basic and
permanent changes can be brought
about through the re-education of the
German people. But how Is this to
be accomplished? No doubt a revision
OF the school system will have to be
undertaken.
The re-education of Germany GER
tainly would involve a revision OF their
national songs. This problem should
be carefully considered for the next
peace conference and steps taken to
solve it. German anti-Nazi poets
should be encouraged to alter their
lyrics by infusing in them the idealism
OF brotherhood and spiritual values.
have spent many years in Germany
ana nave had occasion to study the
culture of the German people. The
blind drive towards world domination is
strongly expressed in their national
anthem which begins with the charac-
teristic words Deutschland, Deutsch-
land Uber Allies" Germany, GERMANY
Above AID and the notorious Horst
vessel song containing the melting lines
To-day eve possess) Germany, tomor-
row the whole world" The effect of
these songs is extremely unfortunate.
Ihey stimulate the destructive tenden-
cies of the German people and stir up
in them excessive national pride.
1t is my proposal that a committee
be formed of those German poets and
musicians now in exile to prepare new
national anthem for Germany which
should express more constructive kind
OF patriotism. This committee should
see to it that by the time the peace con-
terence takes place an acceptable anthem
should be presented to the United Ma
tons. When the peace plans about
economic, political and military condi-
lions are formulated, this new national
anthem for Germany also will have to
be considered in order that it should
become part of the new education
for German youth. This may be a.
guarantee that the German people will
become normal nation and take an
honorable place once again in the COM
munity of nations.

Maj Raymond A. Wheeler, one-time
assistant to the Engineer Commissioner
OF the District OF Columbia, begins to
emerge from the pages.
Residents of the Macarthur boule-

pleasure the good Offices of the erst-

then known as the Conduit road and
consisted of a narrow strip of cement

INTO the nire or being run over.
Many petitions had gone in for i'm
proVements, many officials had uttered
sympathetic words. But Mai. Wheeler
was the first to come. see, sympathize
and then do something about 1T.
He immediately drafted a plan now
revealed in the layout OF Macarthur
boulevard. The cement strip over the
conduit gave place to a central park
way while two wide roadways on either
side, with sidewalks, provided accom-
modations for cars and pedestrians,
He recommended to Congress that the
District take jurisdiction over these
roadways, so the necessary improve
ments could be made, and the plan
went through
Every one who came in contact with
MAJ. Wheeler in those days was i'm

 We were making one of thost Quirt and Flagg pictures. Eddie Lowe had piece of business witf billiard cue in a pool hall that we were sure was good for a belly laugh. He started on 1t but found the director and the others had their attention glued on 8 spot al his feet.
 He looked down and there was Vic under the billiard table, catch ing flies and making faces. Ed die let go with the liaded end oi the cue and knocked Vic a little silly. They let the scene stand And 1t got the biggest laugh in the picture.
 Continues Jack:-
 That Tracy stuff, the way he moves his jaw muscles when he's hearing something big, isn't new but it's always good to steal a scene. Same thing with eye play. You cast your eyes down when the guy starts telling you some- thing and you raise them in the middle of the speech. In a closeup it comes out big"

 Jack also bemoans the passing of the straight men. Very few good ones, except Budd Abbott have popped up in Hollywood il some time. "How," asks Oakie "can a low comedian lap up an! gravy If he doesn't have an exper feeding it to him?'

Jack Oakie has run out of com petition. Scene stealing, he moans, has become lost art in Hollywood. Jack wishes 1t were. otherwise. He says blandly 1t would improve pie lures, provide more laughs and more tears.
 What a concealed battery was to race horse" he says, "the scene stealer was to pictures. They put everyone on their toes and they kept them there."
 Oakie has been the chief expo- nent of scene stealing for almost l5 years. He's an expert on all the dodges and tricks in the business. But he says he's used very few of them lately. There's no competi- tion," means Jack.
 The art of scene stealing, Jack will tell you, has neither rules nor limits. It all depends on the in- genuity of the player. There are a few Sure-fire formulas, like hand and eye play, moving your jaws or grinding them or playing casually with any thing you might have in your hands. But, largely, says Jack, it's inspiration.
 Among the best scene stealers in Hollywood, Jack names Vic Mo- Laglen as one of the greatest tricksterS of them all. Honorable mention he gives to Lewis Stone, Wally Berry, Edgar Kennedy, Slim Summerville, Eddie Cantor Ned Sparks and Eddie Lowe.
 We used to call them dynami- ters in the old days - and they knew every dodge in the book. They converted scene stealing from Q clumsy venture into high art. And it Is a high art, for un- less it's done subtly and delicately, the director will step in and stop the larceny"
 But they've run out of compe- tition, too, says Oakie. T guess we're all getting too old to knock ourselves out"
