Horowitz, Peerce
To Appear Here

The American University con-
certs will present Jan Peerce
and Vladimir Horowitz during
inaugural week. The famous
Metropolitan Opera tenor will
sing on Sunday, January 18.
His program will include songs
and arias which made him one
of the most popular figures in
the music world.
Mr.. Horowitz is usually as
surred of an audience wherever
and whenever he chooses to
play. The fact that his piano
recital falls on the night Of
the inaugural ball will possibly
make little difference, as far
as his admirers are concerned.
His program will include works
by Scriabin, Chopin. Brahms.
Schubert, Debussy and Liszt.
This afternoon at 3 is the
final performance by the Salz-
burg Marionettes in the Lisner
Auditorium, for the benefit Of
st. Clements Church in Alex
andria.

"The Fire Below and the
Devil Above" was an excellent
example of how Mr.. WILDER
applies his formula. 1t will not
win him the Nobel prize for
literature and he will not be
taken by surprise at this news.
It was an all-out melodrama
about mutiny, no more, no
less. It was, in fact, as a
script editor once said OF a
WILDER work, " a handling OF
cliches that keep the viewer
from realizing he is watching
cliches."
At the same time, it was
play written in television's
terms. It was a story told with
pictures. Dialogue was applied
sparingly, to emphasize, color
and explain what the camera
couldn't make fully clear. The
authors original title, incident
ally, was the caption-writer's
terse and better Fire Below,
Devil Above"
No Bod Habits
Mr.. WILDER came to television
unspoiled by habits Of other
fields of drama writing. He
never wrote for radio. screen
or stage. In fact, he has seen
only one play in his life-the
recent revival Of 1.-THE Male
Animal"
If you are thinking of quit
ing your job, however, to apply
the Wilbur formula and become

is one more thing you should

The drawback with this, in
Mr.. Wilber's case, is that he.

business in his blood along with

Schools. Many players have
been transferred to the band
from Army units but only after
submitting to the rigid physical,
mental and musical tests.
In 1923, the Army band made
the first of its concert broad
casts which has continued for
80 years. It took place in a
studio set up in Woodward and
Lothrop's department store. A
few months later, it led the fu-
neral cortege of President War
ren G. Harding and on Armis-
tice Day of that year took part
in the ceremonies at the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier when
President Coolidge established
the practice of placing a wreath
there. During a four-day con-
cert tour of New York City in
1925, the band gave a concert
in the Hippodrome conducted
by John Philip Sousa and the
next year combined with the
Marine and Navy Bands for a
massed concert under Sousa's
direction in Madison Square
Garden.
The years since then have
been filled with many duties.
It's tours in this country have
been popular and abroad it is
welcomed since the day, in 1929,
when it received the Grand
Prize by the Jury of Awards at
the Ibero-American Exposition
in Seville, Spain, in competition
with other bands including the
famed Garde Republican, Of
France. Fourteen years later,
during it's war duties, the Army
band was part of a gala Inter-
national Symphonic Concert in
the Opera House of Algiers,
where it shared the program
with the British Royal Artillery
Band and the French Foreign
Legion Band in celebrating the
anniversary of the liberation Of
French North Africa.
Greeted Bulge Heroes
Shortly afterwards. the band
was sent to England where it
made a series of tours along
the southern coast, entertain
ing American, British and Ca
madam soldiers just before the
Normandy invasion. In 1945
it was stationed at the Univer-
sity of Paris and among its
many concerts was one in the
Paris Opera conducted by
Andre Kostelanetz with Lily
PonS as soloist. Once, during
this pleasanter period. the
bandsmen donned steel he'll

to an unnamed point to par

of the Bulge marched before

how many times certain Amer
lean newspapers will have to
learn this fundamental truth re-

OF the President. The words "im.

For example, a legal analysis
made by the Library of Congress
for the special subcommittee on
security affairs, of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations,
shows that:
The definition of treason does
not cover conspiracy to over
throw the Government which has
not ripened into an actual levy
ing of war. or aid given TO a
foreign power which is hostile
in fact, but not an enemy in
contemplation of law.
The requirements for proof of
treason make ii virtually inn
possible to convict a clever con-
Spirator of this crime"
The law of war, by its terms,
operates only in time of war.
Much of the statutory law pen
alizing hostile conduct is directed
primarily against wartime of

Where applicable in time of
peace, many statutes define of
fenses against national security
by reference to national de-

This is not too difficult TO understand since the

the Atlee statement performs a

think, to take criticism from

Mr.. Atlee contends that the

INQUIRY CORNER

@. What is Catholic Action2
Did 1t eriSt in the early Church?
A. Catholic Action, defined by
Pope Plus XI. is the participation
of the laity in the apostolate of
the hierarchy. As Pope Plus XI
repeatedly stated that it is a new
form for something that has al
ways existed in the Church. He
often mentioned the early Chris
tian Church as an example of
apostolic action on the part of
the laity. st. Paul frequently !.
mentions his lay helpers in the
apostolate: Il entreat Evodia and
| exhort Syntyche to be of one
mind in the Lord. And | beSeech
thee also. my loyal comrade, help
them, for they have toiled with
me in the gospel, as have Gle
ment and the rest of my fellow
workers whose names are in the
book of life" philippians 4:2-3)
@. When does the Easter
Time" end? What happens if one
fails to 90 TO Holy Communion
during that time?
A. The Easter time in the
United States begins on the first
Sunday of Lent and ends on Trim
ity Sunday. A Catholic who neg
lects to receive Holy Communion
worthily during the Easter time
commits mortal sin. If the time
is past for fulfilling the obliga-
tion during the Easter Time the
negligent Catholic is bound to
receive Holy Communion as soon
as possible.
Q. Was the sin of oar first
parents the eating of an apple
or the committing of a Sin Of
adultery?
A. 1t certainly was not adultery.
In the first place they had con-
troll over their passions which
they lost after the first sin. Not
only is Genesis the inspired word
of God, but it is the only account
of the Fall. 1t clearly explains
the sin involved. 1t was not an
apple which caused their defec-
ton, but disobedience to Gods
command. The devil persuaded
them that they would be as gods,
so the eating of the forbidden
fruit involved a kind of rebel
lion.
Q. When and By aohdt right
did the Catholic Church change
the Lords Day TO Sunday from
Saturday.
A. Practically from the begin
ming the Apostles determined up
on this change in honor of the
Resurrection Day. II was import
ant to commemorate this great
event and Pentecost. also on a
Sunday. In addition the Apostles
exercising the power given to
them by Christ to make judg-
mentS thought it good to make
this change among others to in
dlcate the New Testament Law

WASHfNCTON LETTER
Cold War Weighs Heavily
WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON The impact
of the cold war; is being felt
here perhaps more strongly than
ever before.
Added TO the weight Of bur
den carried so long, there have
been recent developments that
emphasized the seriousness of
the situation. These develop
ments include: the diminishing
hope for any important reduc-
tion in budgetary expenditures
and income taxes; the warning
BY Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
national director of Selectiye
Service, that young fathers and
college students may be drafted
for the armed forces despite
present lowered draft calls; the
estimate of our military leaders
that the cold war" is costing us
about four billion dollars
month Ga "hot war" could cost 10
billion a month";; the general
distrust of the latest Soviet
peace" propaganda the signs
of strain in NATO in the face of
this propaganda, and the warn
ingS of political leaders that the
peace" oyertures may bring us
further embarrassment.
Another development, which
does not seem TO have received
the attention ii deserves is the

Lons-Suffered Appessement

While some may not fully
agree with Professor Charles
Callan Tansill of Georgetown
University that "the main OBJ
jective in American foreign pol
icy since 1900 has been the pres
ervation of the British Empire"
we can recognize that American
leadership has been too long
euffering with London's appease-
ment of the Communists.
Nlnety-nine British ships, it
has been shown, regularly carry
materials to Red China which di-
rectly or indirectly aid in the
killing of our young men in Ko-
rea. For the sake of that trade
and for Hong-Kong - which, ii
might be suggested. the British
should offer to turn over to
responsible Chinese government
within so many years - London
has recognized Red China and
persisted in that act against
American security. Now it is
common knowledge that the Brit.
ish government is pressing for a
seat for Mao Tse-tung on the Sc
curity Council of the United Ma
tionS.
Any such move-and this is
most solemn warning-will be
beginning for the fulfillment of
Lenin's dream, expressed in his
last work, that with the millions
of Russia, China, and India at
MoScow's command, Soviet
world conquest would be assured.
If we do not wish to write the
first chapter of the downfall of
the American Republic, every
alert citizen will have to act.
Congress can be told. and the
State Department and the Presi-
dent, that the iUiIl of the Amer
ican people is against any yield.

The winning of the war in Korea,
which both Generals Macarthur
and Van Fleet declare can be ac-
complished would be much more
to the point.

Labour Party leader can pro-
duce nothing better than this by
way of an analysis then Labour
is indeed bankrupt in the realm
of ideas.
1t is high time that we cast the
expression ''isolationism" out
the window and let it take its
place along with secession" and
other historically discarded con-
ceptions. One of the most annoy
ing things in Western Europe is
to hear people talk about the
dauger of American isolationism
and a return to stone-age sort of
policy in which no concern for the
world at large survives. Can one
lind today anywhere in the whole
United States an honest-to-good-
ness lsolationist? / would very
much doubt it.
False Conclusion
Mr.. Atlee continues his little
TRADE by accusing the American
constitution of preventing eff
fective Anglo American un.
derstanding. This strikes me
quite frankly as just about the
most puerile nonsense that has
been expressed in many a long
day. BY the same token we
might charge the French Con-
stitution of 1916 as responsible
Tor the kind of instability there
which so perplexes Americans.
We might consider that Britain's
system is outmoded and ought
TO be revised because of the ever
present danger that Parliament
can be turned out and new cleo
tlons called for. | would suggest
that Anglo-American understand
ing depends great deal more
on men like Mr. Clement Atlee
knowing what they are talking
about and penetrating a little
more deeply below the surface.
On the Korean war side we
have in Atlee'S statement what
one might expect from a social
lst-that there are Interests"
who do not want the war con-
cluded and who favor its exten-
sion. An honest disagreement on
method and procedure, such as
has distinguished the expressions
IN this country, certainly does
not lead to any such conclusion.
If proposals for a way to end
the war and bring the stalemate
to conclusion suggest to Mr..
Atlee a desire to widen the war.
then by the same logic American
public opinion could conclude
from British recognition of Chi
ma and continuation of trade
with that nation will to ap-
pease, also refusal to go along
with solemn commitments en-
tered upon in company with the
majority of the member coun-
tries in the United Nations.
Neither thesis is true and no
good purpose is served in this
type of irresponsible utterance
from very high places.
