Tavern (5l West 5D on March IT (St. Patrick's Day) to sing about the Irish. Can you come from to ' p. m. and Bring Your Best Gal Morton Downey."
 Well, THAT'S an invitation you don't pass up. So and the "Sest Gal" managed to squeeze i'll to the room in Foot Shor's elegant bistro a little late, but in plenty of time for ALL ot the refreshments and most of the music.
 Morton Downey was in great form, and the Irish Singing Walters (There were Irish singing walters for the occasion and did you know Singing Walters have their own un- ion?) were in great form, so was everyone else including your re- spectful and humble servant Ed Leamy and his Best Gal"
 We chivvied ard roared our ap- plause for the walters, and we pay ed a mean trick on our host when he got up to sing for us. We would mt let him stop! Nobly he respond ed. And here are some of the songs he sang: "The Kerry Dancers 1; the Wake Number, He Died /. He died" which is one Of Morton s favorites; Sweet Rosie O'Grady;" Molly Malone; T Love You from Louisiana Hayride; You Made Me Love You,' You, from Sunny" and Melancholy Baby. And was that singing!
 Never have seen anyone as agreeable and willing to oblige his importuning listeners as Morton Downey. If he had not had to dash off to sing at the Stage Door Can- teen little later. and after that tC catch a train for Washington where

WAVELETS
By ED LEAMY

It is always matter of mild amazement to me that a plain, or dinary mug like myself, who doesn't know the difference between @ demi-semi quaver and grace note, and who cannot carry a tune in his head, can yet so love music as to be almost an addict. And that goes for all sorts of music from lighter Wag- ner down-or up, If your taste so prefers-to boogie-woogie. And so I'm apt to turn up in spots and places where can listen to music as the mood moves me. Naturally, therefore, in company with count less others, I shall always be grate- full to radio which brings so much music to us without any effort on our part and without any obligation.
 Like everyone else have my own favorite singers, my own favorite or- chestras, my own favorite symphon. ies and bands. There are great many of these. Two will mention here: Morton Downey, and the New York Philharmonic. It has been my pleasure to go to Carnegie Hall a number of times and enjoy not only the music itself, but the extra thrill of seeing music being made. And of that thrill experienced only last Sunday, I'll tell you later on. At this point I want to write of Morton Downey.
 For long time I've known Mor- ton Downey only as a swell singer over the radio. Carenthisis currently 3 p. m. over NEG Mondays to Fri days) But last week, St. Patrick's Day, to be exact, I not only heard Morton sing informally in 8 room, but I had a chance to talk to him, and I'm glad to pass on to you that he's every bit as pleasant to talk to as he is to listen to, when he gives out with the haunting melodies with which he has been so long associat- ed.
 The invitation came to me in the mail. It said: I'm Having An After The Parade Party at Foot Shor's

Starvation in France
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enqulrer)
Hitler often has adrnitted-even boosted of-his
plan to break other nations by cruel and inhuman
using it to the fullest in most conquered areas The
story OF the slow starvation of France recently
told in graphic terms by Professor Balthazard before
the Academic de Medicine.
According to his findings, the Germans have re-
cuced the diets of the average French adult to LOO
Galleries each day About 5000 is required. Some
Frenchmen have enough money to resort to the black
market, but here it is impossible to secure the
full amount needed-even for the wealthy The result
is that the great majority of the people are des-
perately undernourished weak and anemic
Professor Bathazard rected many results which
now are apparent All diseases have increased, be-
cause the resistance of the nation has been lowered.
Particularly dangerous infections taking tolls
from 20 to 40 per cent above normal The death
rate naturally is increasing in leaps and bounds.
Children and young people are suffering especially,
since they require food to proper and healthy
growth In Bordeaux, where blood donors mere
sought to give pasa 46 per cent of the youths who
applied as donors had to be rejected because Of
physical nfrmties An entire generation is being
reared on halt starvation rations
This, of course, is in keeping with the Hitler
plan. Resistance in weak nations and races, he
reasoned, would be ineffective; seasily crushed 1t
will take years of work and effort TO restore to
France and to other of the smaller nations, the
youth and vrility which the Hitler program has been
sapping away.
