forward set the Schubert group in
a new light. Instantly capturing the
moods of die Kraehe," "Aufen-
thalt" and "Ungeduld," he attained
the peak, however, in Der Doppel-
gaenger," where the somber, eery
atmosphere was pictured remark
ably.
Among the novelties on the pro-
gram were the Venezuelan folk song
"Sobre la Nieve" and the dance
song, "Joropo," both in SOLOS ar
rangement; Juegerhuber's "Omim-
ba," song from the tribes of Nago
in Haiti, and Dirk Foch's Songs of
Glory" The Haitian song, with its
racial characteristics, was the most
effective of the Latin American
numbers, and Mr.. Duncan explained
that he heard it with native drum
accompaniment in the mountains
of Haiti and had it recorded and
arranged for his use. Foch's Songs
of Glory" consisted of two parts:
Incident at st. Lo" and Prayer"
the former recording how the body
of Maj. Thomas D. HOWE, killed as
the bombardment began, was placed
on a bier in the city's square to full
fill his promise to his men, You
will see me in st. Lo," and the latter
a prayer for peace.
The only programmed aria, the
"Toreador Song" from Carmen" ="
was followed by the Largo al fac
totum," from Rossini's Barber of
Seville" as encore, the listed num-
bers including further Gretchani-
now's My Native Land" Moussorg-
sky's Song of the Flea" Bridges

spirituals, Johnson's Give Me Jesus"
and Browns 'Everytime I Feel the

ments in their sensitive cooperation
with the singer were provided by

Broadcasters Again Seek
Conference With PetriIIo
By the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 5.-The Ma
tional Association of Broadcasters
directed its president, Justin Miller,
yesterday to renew efforts for con-
ference with James C. Petrillo, head
of the American Federation of Mu-
sicians, with a view to eliminating
confusion now existing throughout
the industry"
In a statement issued at the close
of a day-long closed session, direc-
tors of the association said the con-
ference would be sought at the ear
liest possible time to end the CON
fusion throughout the broad
casting industry, Government and
the public in connection with the
use of union musicians on American
radio stations and networks
A spokesman said the newest
wrinkle in broadcaster-union rela-
tionS which the association hopes to
iron out is the federations' ban on
foreign musical programs, excepting
Vatican and Bethlehem services ON
holy occasions. The directors adopt
ed Mr.. Miller's recommendation to
name a 17-man committee to seek
a solution to manifold broadcaster-
union problems.

AL Grimmett, who heads the big
gest automobile repair shop in
Beverly Hills, is an avid film fan
and popular with all the stars who
steer their limping vehicles into his
place for service, but he gets little
out of patience with them at times.
Right now, for instance, he Is es-
pecially perturbed over Lauren Ba-
call: -
"A lovely girl and, to my notion,
fine actress" Mr.. Grimmett de-
clared, "but she'd better stop doing
what she did to us yesterday. She
had our place completely tied up
for more than an hour"
1t seems, according to Grimmett,
that Lauren drove her car right up
In front of the grease racks, leaped
out to catch a bus for the studio,
calling back an order to lub-icate it
and tighten the brakes. However,
she locked the ignition ano carried
the keys off with her. Grimmett
finally had to jack up the car and
haul it out of the way, but it killed
of an hours time doing so.
That kind of a thing could hap
pen to anybody" Grimmett COM
mented. Most of our movie patrons
are thoughtful, polite and generous
but do wish they'd take better
care Of their automobiles They're
inclined to be careless. And with
the used and new car situation what
1t Is today can name you dozen
players who are going to be riding
the buses and streetcars within six
months. At the rate they drive and
fail to make ordinary repairs their
jobs will be on the junk pile before
new transportation is available"

The Showman's Review poll on
the biggest money-earning picture
Of the season may come to you as a
surprise-if you are not a member
of Van Johnson's fan club. If you
are member, you would guess i'm
mediately that the screenplay which
drew the largest patronage was
Thirty Seconds Over Toxic" The
$4,000 which Metros -Goldwyn-
Mayer is said to have given 1t. Gen.
Jimmy Doolittle for the use of his
name in the screenplay was obvious
ly one of the years finest invest
ments in anything.
"
If the makers of motion pictures
take the poll literally, and they love
dollars and cents just as madly as
their exhibitors, patrons of the Ma
tion's movie houses can get ready
for still greater number of screen
musicals. Seven such pictures made
the 10 best money-earners list to the
likely CONSERVATION of several dozen
comedies, psychopathic melodramas,
Westerns and various other types.
The list, behind the Tokyo picture,
follows: National Velvet" Meet
Me in st. Louis" State Fair"
Thrill of Romance" God Is
My Co-Pilot," "A Song to Remem-
Der" Anchors Aweigh," Hollywood
Canteen" and "Incendiary Blond"
Just by way of showing how crazy
critics are, several put God Is My
Co-Pilot" on their lists of 10 worst
pictures of the year. (Not this
critic. by a happy trick of fate)
That is how it went at the box
office, which, if it doesn't know art,

day.
Ray Milland, the critics prize
actor of the year, also is in line
definitely for the same honor at the

always see eye to eye-in fact, they

A song recital by Todd Duncan is
more than recital, for the eminent
baritone adds to the purely lyric
part of program his great dra-
matte feeling and poetic apprecia-
ton. He was presented last night
in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church
by the Rector's Aid of st. Lukes
Episcopal Church and the auditori-
um was crowded with an enthuSias-
tic audience that recalled him again
and again after each group of num-
bers.
He was in excellent voice, with a
firm command of the details of his
art, and his performance had not
only the authority of tradition but
several new angles developed by
himself. This was mainly in his in
depreciation of familiar works such
as Strauss "Zueignung," given as
encore, which had new meaning in
the slow tempo and reflective mood
In which Mr.. Duncan sang it. There
was also a particular dignity and
dramatic fervor in the opening
group of classic works, which gave
tIleIl lreSn lie ana power.
Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves"
from Handel's "Scipio' and the
Largo" from his "Xerxes" were
colored with an intensity that sud-
denly bridged the centuries since
their authorship and made them
vividly of the present. Mr.. Duncan's
singing of these two numbers, to-
gether with THE Paschal Victim
Here We See" from Bach's Sacred
Cantata," was done with finely spun
tone and purity of style, but it was
the thorough appreciation of the
text and the feeling it engendered
that gave different quality to his
presentation.
This same gift of going directly to
the heart of a song as found in the
words and singing it from that point

Among the other local drama
activities returning to normal is
the annual One-Act Play Tourna-
ment, which should have some of its
old flavor when it is staged this
year in its first peacetime mani
festation since 1910. Plans for the
1916 event already are under way,
several meetings of representatives
of local drama groups having been
held and Irving NJ. Day of the
Montgomery Players having been
named this years chairman.
Registration for the tourney may
take place any time between now
and February 4, the deadline. Fur.
ther information about the event
can be obtained by calling the Dis
trict of Columbia Recreation De-
partment, sponsor OF the annual
contest, at Adams 2050, and meet
ing of representatives of groups
planning to participate will be an
nounced in the near future.
The 1916 tournament will be con-
Quoted along the same general lines
as those in the past, according to a
Recreation Department announce
ment. And, as before, the actor or
actress who contributes the best in
diyidual performance during the
preliminaries will be awarded the
Maud Howell Smith Medal.
The contest will be staged between
March and March 16.

 Orc Bay was quite hot spot, and I mean strictly from the weather. It was sweltering hot and dusty. All the roads were newly laid and they all happened to be dirt roads. When you went from one camp to another in a jeep, the dust got so thick would have to stop for it to clear, for fear you might run into somebody.
 As you drove from camp to camp you realized what is meant by "home is where you make it." The American touch was every where-street signs which read Broadway and Wabash," or it might be "West Palm Drive 'or Michigan Boulevard" There were signposts denoting the mileage to Tokyo and other Jap landmarks and few more significant ones like 100000 miles to New York"
 got glimpse of the natives for the first time in Orc Bay. While they looked weird and funny, they were far from fierce. Their men and women all looked alike to me. They had one craze-they loved blond or reddish hair and would give anything or do anything for peroxide to color their hair.
 I was told that they hated the Japs and that they would go on Jap hunts for the boys. As evil dence of their work they would come into camp with a row of Jap ears on a stick, just like pretzels. I'll stick to pretzels.
 What amazed me most of all were the recreation facilities. They were terrific. In addition to soft ball, which was played all the time, there were handball courts and volley ball as well as ping pong and other games. After 500 p.m., when the work day was done, everybody would relax at something.
 I spent six days Tn Gro Bay, covering the hospitals and camps. Here I got my first feeling of the hospitals of New Guinea and the boys who were the patients. The hospitals where appeared were all field hospitals-rows of huge tents, most of them on gravel floors-but there was never a lack of medical supplies or medcial at tention. The bedding was always clean and the iron cots comfort able and new.
 Finchhaven is the only place in the world where you can be knee deep in mud and still get dust in your eye. It lies at the northeast tip of New Guinea and has the reputation of yielding rain nine months of the year. During the other three months there is ten- minute letup twice a day, which is the equivalent of sunny day.
 It rains all day and then the sun comes out and bakes the top of the mud you're standing in, forming layer of dust. You're still knee deep in mud, and along comes a wind and blows the dust in your eye. That's quite a trick but at least a hundred thousand GIs and

Home Is Where You Make It
By AL SCHACHT

Condensed from the book "G Had Fun" published by c. P. Put nam'S Sons, New York.)
 l know now why the War De- pertinent and USO Camp shows never let you know where you're going until it's too late to turn back. They just don't take any chances on anybody changing his mind.
 Take New Guinea, for instance. If I had known I was going there, I would have enlisted in the para troops, rangers, or some other out fit where guy could be safe from harm, rather than risk such a trip.
 On my arrival at Natzab, mo- body met me at the airport. I did not know where to go and whom to ask where to go, and was afraid if l pestered too many people they'd really tell me where to go. Finally a jeep drove into the air port and I determined to move in to action.
 Look, my friend" I said My name is Al Schacht. I've just come all the way from New York City. Could you direct be to the Office of Special Services? If you can't direct me, let me know where the nearest carrier pigeon station is and I'll get in touch with them that way"
 My name didn't impress him but he knew where the Special Serv- ices office was and promised to get them to send a jeep for me. The jeep arrived in twenty min utes. Riding back to headquarters, we were completely surrounded by hills, jungles, and mountains, and to me it looked like one huge layer cake with jungles at the base, in the middle and on top.
 Natzab is only a little place, not regular Army base, and while there were always lot of soldiers around, they didn't belong to the small local unit. Most of them were hitchhikers from Australia. Hitchhiking was quite fad around there. When a fellow got a fur tough, he thumbed a. ride for an other island. They call it island hopping. After I got a look at a few of these places I wondered why they went through all that
The Nome nugget., 1946-01-23

trouble. All the islands look alike.
 Under the guiding hand of Ser geant Wolfe, who proved definitely that sergeants really have souls, I was fed. Over little gasoline stove, he made me an excellent snack out of a can of bully beef, some powdered eggs, jam, bread and coffee. It was remarkable.
 At 7:30 that evening, using a piece of the hill overlooking the air strip as my stage, put on a show for some five hundred GIs. With no lights on-it was almost dark-and only loudspeaker to work with, I couldn't do anything except tell few stories, but they cheered and laughed, which show ed that our soldiers in New Guinea had not yet lost their taste for bet ter entertainment.
 The next morning, I flew to Orc Bay, a three-hour flight. We were met by Colonel Clapp, of Special Services, who announced that we had to hurry. We've got you scheduled to work this afternoon at football game"
 I couldn't believe my ears. Here it was 105 in the shade-and there was no shade-and he's talking about football.
 "A football gamer" I cried. That I've got to see!"
 I was scheduled to work be- tween halves and we rushed away in the jeep for the football field. I have seen magnificent stadiums where football is played, but the Orc Bay Bowl topped everything.
 Here was a bowl built by nature "a valley, deep and level, sur rounded completely by mountains and hills. A football field was marked off and all around it, some standing on trucks, others sitting around the side lines, and many more sitting on the hills which made perfect grandstand, were 35,00O soldiers.
 While the teams were warming up, two bands were marching up and down the field playing college songs. Each team had its own cheering section, and each its own mascot. One team had a white goat and the other black goat. It look ed as if was back in the United States.
 The game itself was another sur prise. These boys really played football in spite of the ground con- ditions. Rivalry was keen and the cheering tremendous, with the
