Orchestras about town ripping
out the favorite musical hit from
"Carousal" have certainly had
Washington's ear this week, for
June was bursting out all over the
Capital City, adding to the usual
and pleasant run of smart parties,
several gala garden fetes, rollock-
ing barn dances, Independently

GROWTH OF
THE RESISTANCE
MOVEMENT

The situation being what
it is in Palestine, the daily
press makes, many references
to the Jewish Underground,
to the various armed groups.
The circumstances which
led to the formation of the
Jewish Resistance Movement
is interesting.
Haganah (Hebrew for de
fense") was organized in '36
by the new settlers in the
remote areas Of Palestine, to
protect themselves from sud-
den attacks from bands OF
Arab raiders.
Sentiment grew among
some of the newer settlers
that Haganah was not milit-
ant enough, not sufficiently
effective to cope with the
Arab resentment and antag-
onisim They sought what
was to them more positive
action. They formed the lr-
gun Zvai Leumi (National
Organization). Many
of it's members were young
men and women who had
experience in the European
Underground.
With the Coming Of World
War II, the Irgun changed
its activity from anti Arab
to helping the Allies. This
was unacceptable to some OF
the members of Irgun who
formed the Abraham Stern
Band. named after it's late
leader. They carry on terror
ist activities.
Haganah also aids illegal
immigration. They are esti-
mated to number about 10000
with a so called Striking
force" of about 1900 The 1r-
gun is thought to have about
5000, many of them original
ly from Poland.

A Thought for Today
Swing Music, Adieu

Swing music, according to recent report in The Waterbury Democrat, it's way to Limbo probably des tined for the bettng chasseent of having to listen to the echoes of it's cacophonous bares and beats The authority for such prediction made up of less than the beliefs of such famed musicians Benny Goodman Bob Crosby, Harry James, Artie Shaw, ct al We rejoice
 Swing is the mongood among all jazz creations of years It seldom atains purity of form indivdu ay of expression capable of being classified as music Only instances does je into harmonious synco patton marking definition and purpose In such cases of course isn't Swing but rather the artistry and talent of the particular musicians.
 What proof have of all this? None other than smi- lar contentious of such real azzmen Eddie Condon Pee Wee Russell and the like, who wouldn't touch Swing Gas it has been known) with sterzed reed To them Swing to jazz what payerpano in Bronx tavern is Lee Sims at reaxedupright at A. M Of that doesn't make then you aren't interested and may well stop reading this pont).
 Swing never has had personality It is strictly trim mings and spangles in shaps It smohers melody and dis tors the theme of any number until the composer doesn't recognize it. It prostitutes good musicians and ploits good music. And what did get out of it? Wel the best recall is the fellow who accidentally threw his girl friend out the thirdoor window of dance hall while jving to Swing
 Now lest we sound like musical misanthrope let us reaffrm affection for American jazz-as jazz We know for example of Negro religious group Waterbury part of whose ceremonies is the rhythm of drum the sharp timing of cymba and occasionally French horn that beevaby is played with brassy gssandos All this is the foundation for verbal blues phrasngs by the congregation It the most basic and the pures jazz in these parts It is simple and simplicity too and transcends ment From that point like to develop affection with the works of the purist jazz musicians of the dngy Greenwich Village joints the small smoky apartments of musicians in the magical hours of the morning. We like the Dxieland Chicago and New Orleans schools we'll
 We don't know what will be the substitute when Swing disappears from the networks and sewhere but you rest assured there will be long there agents alive Commercial musicians trend toward the muCed ana sort music Forsooth It may well be sorrer day to be drugged by ten thousand Royal Cana diens!

NelSOn-Army Feud Echoes 1y yDoug Larsen

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-(NEA)-Many of the reconversOn troubles the country s experiencing to- day are orect result of the Armys stubborn refusal to permit any planning for this cnange-over period Donald Nelson claims in his new book Arsenal of Democracy" Nelson was director of the War Pro- ductlon Board during the and is now film executive in Hollywood.
 He further claims that some of the double talk" the Army put out during the war in an effort to dlscredit the WIPE and grab control of American in duStry fomented trouble between civilians and sol dierS
 The book is bound to set off a lot of fireworks in official circles It's of the first now-it-can told stories to come out some Of the shenanigans that went on in Washington during the war in put ting American industry on war production basis Nelson writes:
 "The long and bitter controversy with the mili- tary (against WPB) control of Americas civilian economy came to it's climax in the Summer of 1944 With the light over our reconverson program To a large extent this battle lost (by WPB). To large extent the military took control over the ecOn- omy, and many of the reconverson difficulties which arose later, after Germany and Japan had finally been knocked out can be traced directly to that fact"
 Nelson says he encouraging some cutbacks in military production even before the invasion of Nor mandy. This infuiated the top men of the Army's SerVlces of Supply, Nelson says They charged that production crisis" existed. Nelson continues:
 The plain truth was that there was no such thing as production crisis The balyhoo campaign put on by the military people did nothing to solve the problem but it did divert attention from the Armys own miscalculations- this may have been one reason why the campaign was conducted with such vigor.
 'The Army's technique was to go into great de- tail about shortages at the front-Which of course were most distressing to read about-then in the same breath, to draw attention to the fact that war production programs at home were behind schedule But the record shows that not ir single instance
