MusicDuring
School Day
By Angelo potri

Children love to sing. and they
should sing as often as possible
because 1t releases tensions. lifts
worries and destroys Ill feeling. all
of which adds to the mental and
spiritual growth of the children.
While children love to sing they
do not. usually. love to learn the
technical side Of the art. Indeed
they are not interested in the art
Of music, just the joyful noise, and
1t seems to me that, inasmuch as
there are few among them capable
Of becoming artists and so many
Of them who love to sing, we might
better forget the technical side of
the matter and let them sing their
heartsful. Those who have the de-
sire and the ability to become
musicians will soon indicate them.
They can be taught and trained
in the art of music, and the usual
child can just sing.
School children ought to sing
more than they do. They would
If they were allowed to. but for
the most part their singing Is con-
fined to assembly songs. These
are drilled so that the feel of the
music for the children, the release
and Joy of 1t. is lost completely.
That is too bad.
Then there are the selections
the teacher makes and imposes on
the children. The teacher "a pro-
fessional musician, selects the
classics he enjoys and believes the
children should enjoy. But they
don't with that joyful noise. Often
they cannot sing the music be-
cause it is out Of their range

of their understanding and appre-
citation. A teacher drove herself

taste for them. These may not

the matter.

ForrestaI Proposes
Uniform Legal Code
For Armed Services
Plan Given Congress Would
Provide Court Of Lost
Resort for Each Bronch
BY John A. Giles

Defense Secretary Forrestal pro-
posed to Congress today uniform
code of military justice, including
creation of civilian judicial
council" which would be the court
of last resort for each of the
armed services.
The proposed three member
military supreme court" was
compared by defense officials to
the United States Court of APP
peals. It's members would be paid
SIT 500 annually. The uniform
code-whieh would be the first in
the Nations history-was based on
a study by a special committee
headed by Prof. Edmond M.
Morgan of Harvard Law School.
1t would apply to the Army, Navy.
Air Force and Coast Guard in war
and in peace.
Mr.. Forrestal sent the proposed
to House Speaker Ray
burn and said that President Tru-
man had approved the plan. Mr..
Forrestal said its passage would
increase public confidence in mill
tary justice without impairing per-
formance of military functions.
Same System of Courts.
The proposed code makes all
punishable offenses identical for
all military services and sets up
the same system of courts and pro-
cedures for each, including a
board of review in each depart
ment. These boards would be
composed of military lawyers.
The courts provided for each
department are: General, for cap
ital and other serious offenses;
special for less serious offenses,
and summary for minor offenses.
The single judicial council will
make final decisions on all ques-
tions OF law and also act with
the judge advocates general of the
three departments as an advisory
body to secure uniformity in policy
and in sentences and to correct
any defects discovered in the sys-
TEN and it's administration" Prof.
Morgan said.
Review of the judicial council
for errors of law would be auto
matte where a death sentence or
a dismissal was involved and may
be obtained by petition showing
probable error of law where the
sentence imposed more than one
years confinement or a discharge.

Prosecutor Attacks Sentence.
Prosecutor Gyula Elapi, attacked
the life sentence as too light. He
called on the Peoples Court to
take the life of the 56-year-old
cardinal. But further considera-
ton of the case was. left to the
Appeals Court, which the prose-
cutor asked to decree the death
sentence.
In ordering conflscation of the
cardinals possessions and SEN
fencing him to life. Judge Vilmos
Olthys said the court had con-
sidered several factors as being in
Cardinal Mindszenty's favor.
The court took into consldera-
ton that the cardinal had con-
fessed regretfully, Judge Clthys
said, and that he had lived fai
from worldly affairs. The judge
asserted the United States
through Minister Selden Chaplin
had misled the cardinal-"madt
him hope that the United States
of America would start war, ane
that this war would help him at
tain his aims"
One of these aims, the court
held, was to restore in Hungary
the Hapsburg rule which domi-
mated this area in the heyday OF
kings.
