RUSSIAN SINGERS
HARDY TROUPERS
Members of Don COssaCk
Chorus Here Feb. 10 on
Rigorous Schedule

The q members of the General
Platoff Don Cossack Chorus, who
are appearing here on February 16,
sponsored by the Mattatuck Mu-
steal Art Society, at Buckingham
hall, are men who can take it, when
it comes to trouping. To them,
a season of 224 concerts is moth
ing to marvel at. That is the rec
ord they piled up last season, count
ing their regular concert tour and
the subsequent USO tour of camps
and naval bases-these including 63
camp and Is hospital shows.
The reputation of this band of
Russian singers, who are sometimes
picturesquely known as "the sing
ing horsemen of the steppes," has
preceded them wherever. they have
travelled = and they have travelled
far in their peregrinations. In the
years since their organization in
1926 they have given over 1900
concerts throughout the world.
Under the leadership of their
brilliant director, Nicholas Kostru-
koff, the Chorus has built up a
repertoire that covers the field of
Russian song - the beautiful litur-
gical music Of the Russian-Ortho-
dox church, the exquisite haunting
folk-melodies, to which they add
the wild Cossack songs with their
exciting mixtures of interspersed
shouts and whistling.
Finally. there is the thrill OF
the dances = of the Caucasian
Lesginska the popular Kozatchok,
in which the members of the
Chorus take part, and which brings

A more comprehensive method of

which Reid Robinson OF Butte,

Partial reason for the discussion
was based on the fact that more G.

fore the WLB than ever before. The
majority of these latter wage in

larger industries are still pending
although many similar appeals re-

TINY Il DOING
VITAL JOB FOR
U. S. ARTILLERY

Alliance, o. (UP)-Rolling from
final assembly at tie Tayior-craft
Aviation CcrL. here ale hundreds
of reasons why Allied artillery fire
in this war has been the most dew
astating in military history.
Officially these tiny, innocuous
appearing planes are designated by
the Army as the Taylorcraft Liz,
important but little publicized cou-
sin of the Royal Air Forces Fly
ing Flea" and "Buzzard."
But to Allied Infantry slogging
through Italy, they're the same
familiar little monoplane which
won the affection of the ooughboyS
in North Africa and Sicily where
they directed Allied artillery fire
clearing the way for advancing
tanks and infantry.
The Taylorcraft La is not q new
development. It's the military
adaptation of Taylorcraft's peace
time plane whose wasp-like IS
horsepower engine long since has
become a familiar sound over every
| AHleTlCdH Guy.
When the war came, Allied artil-
lery officers felt the need for inn
proved methods of directing shell
fire if they were to utilize fully the
new-found power of modern ord
nance.
The observation and barrage bal
looms of World War I not only were
cumbersome and easy targets for
enemy aircraft but they also were
expensive and difficult to replace
since tn yehad to be moved by
truck to the scene of battle.
Americas light-plane enthusiasts,
by then some 100000 strong, point
ed to the Taylorcraft and similar
light plane types as the answer and
the Army finally undertook series
of exhaustive tests.
Light planes, the tests proved,
provided the answer the artillery
had been searching for.
Far less cumbersome and expen-
sive than the observation balloon,
the prototype of the LIZ was ex-
tremely maneuverable and better
able to seek out its targets over a
wider area in less time. Even its
lack of speed was an asset.
The L-2-Like the RATS Ely
ing Flea"-Skims low over the bat
tie areas at speeds of from so to rs
miles an hour, spotting enemy troop
and material concentrations and
then reporting the range back to
the artillery by short-wave radio
similar to the infantry's "walkie-
talkie''
Flying close to the ground as
they do-somewhere between 500
and 600 feet-the LIZ is seldom
noticed by enemy pilots as they
flash by at speeds of from 100000
miles per hour. Even if spotted,
the LIZ usually can land and be
hidden by the time the enemy can
| turn around.
Although the LIZ still resembles
closely its peacetime counterpart,
several changes have been made for
the sake of military efficiency.
Breaking the clean lines of the
top of the Suselage is transparent
blister in which is mounted a swivel
seat from which the observer, who
faces backward, can see in all direc-
lions. The planes are unarmed,
however, relying on their maneu-
variability for protection.
If an LIZ is destroyed, the total
loss is about $4,000, only a fraction
of the cost of modern observation
| balloon.
