have found that through music
they can forget the horrors of
war.
AT the hospitals music school
some 273 battle veterans are
now enrolled.
The Army isn't trying 10 make

life, either for work or pleasure.
In a week under the guidance
of trained instructors the men
can play tune on piano. Les

the wounded veteran great
deal of pleasure, but II gives
them something TO do with their
time-it stimulates an active in
terest.
The most popular classes are
those for piano and barber shop
quartet. The singing instruction
is under the supervision of Cpl.
Thomas Grasso, an operate and
symphony conductor in New
York City in civilian life.
A few of the men have had
previous musical training. PFC.
Ted Demos Of Elwood, Ind, was
one of these. This veteran of ac-
ton with the 18th Infantry said,

this is the first opportunity I've
had"
Each man gets two hours OF
instruction a week and he can
practise as much as four hours a
day. PFC. Robert H. Faith, for
merly concert maestro for the
ST. Louis Civil Symphony, who
was injured near Aachen, is
usually around to inspire bud
ding violinists.
S/Sgt. Stuart Wilson, nom
commissioned officer in charge
OF the school, says that most of
the men are eager to learn so
they can play for their own en-
joyment.

PEOPLE SEARCH RUINS
There is no civilian traffic in
the city streets except for We
hicles such as garbage trucks
and others essential TO the sani-
tary, supply or food aspects of
city life. Street cars stand with
shattered windows and twisted
rails where they stood when
bombs m h d the power

is sad. People poke about in the
ruins to recover buckets full of
coal, or wood for cooking, or to
see whether there is anything
reasonably whole left.
The lovely Black Forest ap-
parently has been scarcely
touched, but one sees trees that
had been felled to make road
blockades now pushed into the

placed signs in sequence with
such warnings as: You are en-

THE ERWIN JONES CASE

One need not question the integrity of the coroners
jury join those whose zeal their judgment in
espousng recurent ceebre of civil liberties feel
distaste at conclusion of the Erwin Jones case
Any householder will be justified in concern that the
jury has confirmed the position of the police That they
have the right to break into residence and to their
weapons against the occupant suspicion the
word of informant that suspected criminal is hiding
there This moreover not satisfied with the
in which coroner's juries may be selected.
Jones, Negro, killed in his residence by Detec-
tive Bard Purcell of the Portland police Purcell
panon officers had been tipped that Negro slayer
hiding in Jones' house. The tip Jones' fam
lily said he believed the officers robbers The police
said they him ample notice that they officers
and that Jones was killed after he fired two shots
Purcell absolved of blame by his superors 1t was
only after individuals church and civil liberties groups had
brought to bear that the district attorney ordered
coroners inquest The jury accepted the police testimony
and cleared Detective Purcell.
The integrity of the jurors, all substantial white cit-
is not questioned The foreman former high school
teacher Other members lodge official state repre-
sentative, insurance housewife and former
publican national commtteewoman At least four of the
silk active in republican party politics No Negro was
included though racial feelings could be excluded from
a of this kind
The coroner, under Oregon law, needs to consult no
in selecting his jury There is appeal if there is
considerable community feeling that representative
jury should have been chosen It may be expected that
handling of the Erwin Jones case, from the shooting
through the inquest will fall short of satisfying community
unease.

keenly felt because they affect

cent man in his own home, with
his wife and five children. was
justifiable homicide.

of Governor Earl Smell, after a
committee of interested citizens,
civic and religious leaders request
ed a grand jury investigation upon
the fact that the jury which re-
turned the verdict was selected
by the coroner himself. said the
investigation would be held In
Portland at 1000 a. m, Wednes-
day. October IT, Neunuer said he
would appear before the grand
jury himself, rather than send
