A concert with the philanthropic
purpose of assisting the Army Air

ington Cathedral last night Spon-
sored by the District of Columbia
Chapter of the American Guild of
OrganistS, Staff Sergt. Virgil Fox
was presented in an organ recital
with the collaboration of other
artists from the Army Air Forces.
Among these were Corpl. Glenn

Richard Smith, trumpetS; Staff
Sergt. Gordon Pulls, Corpl Bryant

trombones, and Corpl. William
Long, tympanist. /
The individual approach to his
instrument, which places Sergt Fox
in the front rank of organists, was
disclosed in it's many interesting
aspects in the opening group of four
numbers. Gifted with powers of
penetration and sensitive in his
musical feeling. his persuasive read
ings were animated by spontaneity
and warmth. Marcello's setting of !
Psalm XIX, "The Heavens Declare i
the Glory of God" was given with
a joyous, uplifting sentiment that
made more striking the delicate and
beautiful theme of Bachs "Arioso"
which followed Master of a regis |
tration as colorful as a painters
palette and a virtuoso of the first

his playing of the Allegro Vivace
from Bach's Trio Sonata VI" and
Mozarts Fantasy in F Minor" was
a brilliant exposition of the resources
of his instrument under the control
OF a keen intellect and reacting
temperament.
For his first number Pvt. Valasek
presented the impressive Sonata
Religiosa" by the contemporary Yu-
goslavic composer, Josip Slavenski
following with Henri Busser's lovely

CHAPTER XIII

81 now watched this last four tall
ing through what was practically
striped fog made by Jap pom-poms
coming up at us. We could see the
Japs crowding the rails, trying to
jump overheard as the bombs gath
cred speed. The first bomb plunkec
into the water alongside, but the
other three went smack! smack!
smack! right down what had been
her promenade deck, and it looked
like she was coughing up into the
sky a kind of confetti made up of
planking splinters and Jap infantry.
My right wing man, who was re-
leasing his bombs synchronized with
me, scored four hits across the back
of this ship.
"You ought to hear Beardshear,
our tail gunner, tell about it. Not
having any Zeros to keep him busy,
he was enjoying the scenery and
playing Yankee Doodle on the deck
planking with his .50-calibers. He
says we passed over so close that
he looked down the tunnels, and he
called to us over the interphones
that he could see what they we're go
ing to have for chow-rice and fish
heads. Then we made our turn,
and went on back to Batavia, which
was crowded with refugees from
Singapore. They quartered us in
some university, and we had to sleep
on a marble floor which was a col
lege education in itself. BY then
Beardshear was telling it that we'd
been so close that one of those eyes
in one of those fish heads winked
at him."
"About this time," said Frank
Kurtz, 81 got word from the Colo
mel that at last some American P-40
fighters were on their way up from
Australia, equipped with belly tanks
so they could take it in hops, land
ing for fuel at Kupang airdrome on
Timor Island. 1t was part of my
liaison job to get them settled with
the Dutch fighters at their airdrome
at Gnoro. 1t was another beauti-
fully hidden field. The Dutch had to
lead them to it with an escort plane.
''When they landed I found there
were nine, led by my old friend
Major Bud Sprague, whom / hadn' t
seen since the Philippines. I asked
him where Buzz Wagner was, and
he said Buzz just hadn't been lucky.
They'd told them in Australia that
one of them had to stay behind
and give the newly arriving fighter
pilots a little extra training, while
the other would lead the squadron in
Java. Buzz and Bud had tossed
an Australian shilling to decide it,
and Buzz had lost; he was stuck
with that training job.
''Bud Sprague was like many fight
er pilots. He's stocky, and he's
jumpy, like greyhound on a leash
or welterweight waiting for the bell
-prancing all the time. He'd heard
