to share In the honors which would
be accorded them by officials and
diplomats.

Music Ca,zteem PrOUes Success:
HOPE for Permanent Site
By Betty Grove Smith.

Can you imagine how much hun
dreds and hundreds Of service men
and women, talented musically,
must miss their music in wartimes2
How they must long for quiet spot
In which to practice between the
more strenuous duties Of helping to
win the war? Well, there is such a
place in Washington, thanks to the
USO and the Music for the Services.
It Is at 1880 G street-on the second
and third hoors-in studios which
were generously loaned by q we'll
known local music store. Also the
instruments on which to practice.
This unique project is known as
the Music Canteen. It began this
past July and is an answer to the
many, many requests Of service men
and women who wanted q place in
which to play and something on
which to play. The Music for the
Services has been doing a splendid
job Of collecting all sorts of musical
instruments for service men and
women, so in cooperation with the
USO and the help Of kits Music
Store the Music Canteen began.
Volunteer teachers offered their
services. So did volunteer hostesses.
A USO ONCE secretary keeps books
and practice and lesson sheets that
are very reminiscent of those we
used to have in school. The report
for August-the month following the
opening-shows that $40 service peo-
pie used the facilities of the canteen.
That 1877 lessons were given and that
532 hours of practice on the various
instruments were recorded. So sue
cessful is the project proving that
the dream Of the YMCA USO now
is to have permanent Music Can

CASE FOR 

The Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee cannot act too vigorously or too promptly in expos ing every abuse of the Fed eral elections laws this year. In the best of circum- stances the conduct of a national election in war time in accord with the spirit and letter of the law and the standards of fair play is a difficult feat. Be- cause of the extensive ab- sence voting, contests are almost certain to arise in some of the States. There is a real danger that these may cloud the results of the presidential election. That danger clearly justi- fies extraordinary precau- tions against any sort of abuses or irregularities that may arise.
 Apparently Mayor Kel- ly of Chicago has not vio- lated the soldier vote law by causing Democratic campaign literature to be sent out to voters in uni- form along with their ap- plications for ballots, and the same woud apply in the case of Michigan au- thorities who are accused of sending out Republican

 The dream is a little far-fetched, but the point is we'll taken, and may well be passed on to each and every person who would cash in his War Bonds.
 We must hold on to our War Bonds and not in- dulge in the reckless orgy of spending, in the mistak- en belief that the war is over.
 As a nation and as indi- viduals, we must visualize what lies ahead and plan accordingly.

VICTORY JITTERS

In our enthusiasm over the trend of events in Ger many, Poland, Czechoslov- akia and Hungary, we must not lose sight of the fact that we still have a terrific lot of fighting to do in the Pacific area against a truly formidable enemy, Japan.
 To defeat that arch ene- my, our government will have to continue to expend considerable sums of mon- ey to carry on the expenses of a long-distance war, some 5000 miles Or more from our homeland, mak- ing transportation costs alone, a staggering figure.
 According to figures re- leased periodically by the government, there seems to be no other way for us to really help the cause, than by buying more War Bonds, and hanging ons to those we have already purchased.
 There would certainly be a national calamity if we should fail to support this war financing deal, when victory is so surely within our grasp.
 There is the story of the soldier who had a dream about a man turning in his War Bonds, and the ser geant tapping him on the shoulder, just as he was about to draw a bead on a

This Federal law puts no restraint upon the mailing of political propaganda to individual members of the armed forces so iong as the Gov .ernment doesn't sponsor or pay for it. But it is certain ly contrary to the spirit of the law to cucumber a ball. lot application with parti- san literature. Have the States no regulations to prevent such obvious per- version of the absentee vot- ing privilege. The effect is
 to put the machinery of voting to work for partisan
