Servicemen Demand
And Need Good Music
Mrs. Roosevelt Says

One OF the major reasons for ex-
panding the program of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra is the
great demand and need for music
by servicemen, wounded and we'll,
Mrs. Roosevelt and Conductor Hans
Kinder told the committee for the
orchestra's current sustaining fund

A total of s73,687, or 49.l per cent
of the $150,000 drive goal was re-

Helps Heal Them.
Speaking of the servicemen's de-
mand and need for music, Mrs.
Roosevelt said, Almost every boy
that goes through the experience
of war needs healing. Music gives
this healing-it speaks directly to
the heart" She told of the many
letters she had received from serv-
icemen, to whom she gave tickets
for symphony concerts, thanking her
and telling of the pleasure the con-
certs gave them.
DR.. Kinder told of one experience.
-Four weeks ago we played the "Sev-
enth Symphony" by Beethoven.
After the concert six servicemen
came to me. Four of them had been
overseas once already. All were pre-
pairing to go over again soon. They
said to me, We want to thank you
for the Seventh Symphony" It
was wonderful experience. 1t is a
memory to take with us and hope
OF what we will come back to-"
Mrs. Roosevelt and DR.. Kinder
also spoke of the need for increas-
ing the humber of persons who sup
port the orchestra's performances.
Hopes for Symphony Hall.
II hope some day we will have
great building, given by the Gov
eminent, to Washington for SYM
pnony music and other arts" Mrs.
Roosevelt said. 'If we want this
we will get it. We must convince
people, though, that it is their or
chestra, that it belongs to them.
The more widespread the knowl-
edge and enjoyment of music the
better it will be for our people. Mu-
sic, the language that speaks to all
peoples, will help US spread good
will throughout the peoples of all
lands"

On the Record
BY Dorothy Thomson

M1LAN.-The crisis over Trieste COIN
cides with the crisis precipitated by the
liberation OF Northern Italy and the
entrance of far more radical elements
into the Italian picture
This week the Bonomi government
representatives have been negotiating in
Milan regarding reorganization of the
Rome government. Northern Italy,
which is the Detroit of this country,
contributing the heaviest taxes and pro-
duction. regards the south especially
Rome, swollen to two and a half times
Its normal size by Mussolini's bureau
crats) as parasitic. The grim, direct
action in the execution of Mussolini re-
veals the different temperaments
The liberation compelled the Allied
forces to take action to create new courts
for trying Fascist criminals to offset
the kangaroo courts which sprang into
being Immediately following the evacua-
ton by the Germans and which executed
1872 men between April 25 and 30. when
the Allied troops arrived.
The new courts composed of four
men. each selected from panels submitted
by the five anti-Fascist parties. are pre-
sided over by magistrates and provide
life imprisonment or death sentence for
members OF the government and high
ranking Fascists found guilty of annull-
ing guarantees in the constitution, de-
stroying the liberty of the people, Gre
ating a Fascist regime. betraying for
tunes of the country. and decree that an
appeal must be made three days after
sentence and decisions must be reached
in 10 days.
But this court system is not accept
able to the Communists who. in Milan,
compose the strongest party and share
strength in the north with the Cath
olics. Their exact strength is not esti-
mable but they constitute fully 40 per
cent of the fighting strength of the
Partisans. Where the exact statistics
are available, here, as in Yugoslavia, the
dynamics of the Communist movement
is out of all proportion in numerical
representation. The most sober esti-
mates regarding Tito's popular follow
ing in Yugoslavia do not put it over 10
per cent. but nevertheless he controls
the country absolutely.
Here. unlike in Greece. the Allied
occupation forces disarmed all Parti-
sans whether under the Communists,

here expected the Russians to be more
lenient than the Americans.
AS soon as the Russians adopted a
policy which is vastly different from
our own it was realized in responsible
Washington quarters that our tough
ness not only would be useless, but also
would bring an inevitable hatred On the
part of the civilian population against
the American forces of occupation.
While the Russians were still fighting
against the German armies the whole
German population east of the Elbe
River had only one thought-to cross
the water barrier and seek shelter in
the American lines.
The number of would-be prisoners
became so great that the American
generals had to give orders to stop re-
ceiving Germans. The story is told by
reliable observers in the field that a
force of about $4,000 men attempted,
after the fall of Berlin, to cross to our
side. The men were turned back and
fell into the hands of the Red Army.
According to later reports, these men
were all disarmed. The privates and
noncommissioned officers, instead of be-
ing placed in prison camps, were sent
the officers were taken prisoners.
Now there is an effort on the part of
the civilians to leave the American area
and go over to the Russian side.
y
The intention of the Russians to ham
die the bulk of the German population
in a humanitarian manner" became
obvious last month when the star war
correspondent of the Red armies, Ilya
Ehrenburg, was taken to task by Pravda
because he was too much of a German
mater. He was severely reprimanded in
an editorial in that official newspaper
and reminded of Premier Stalif's 1912
speech, in which he declared Russia
was fighting Hitler and the Hitlerite
gang and not the German people
Many things have passed since that
time and the Russian government has
mad more reason than any other ma
ton to pursue policy of complete de-
structlon OF the Reich, as advocated
In this country by Secretary of the
treasury Morgenthau. But apparently
the destruction wrought on Russian soil
by Hitler's legions and the heavy loss
OF life suffered by the Red armies have
not changed the basic policies of the
Kremlin
The administration IS now taking
cognlzance of this fact and has decided
to instruct Gen. Clay to soften some
