U 3 sata po podne nasli
smo Sc u dvorani u kojoj je
odrzana proslava Sesdeset 60
disnjece nase Zajednice. We
lika prostrana je ia dvora-
ma receno mi je, da je Was
nistvo brace Poljaka. Prosla-
va je odrzana ma drzavnoj
bazi i s njome je rukovodio
odbor Ujedinjenih Odsjeka
Milwaukee, Sheboygan, Ra-
cine i Kenosha. U svemu 8
odsjeka je suradjivalo a to
znaci da je nekoliko odsjeka
ostalo po strani, sto nisu tre-
bali, jer nema "a to valjanog
razloga. Oval zajednicki od-
Dor Sc u glavnome sastoji cd
naseg mladjeg clanstva ovdje
rodjenog, ali ina u odboru
nekoliko nash starijih. Sa
programom su upravljali mia
dji mogu vec sada reci, da
su izvrsili dobro djelo. Primje-
tilo Sc je ovdje, ondje, nedo-
stataka, ali ia bi prize pri-
govorio starijima nego mia
DINA, jer su oni, naime start
j, koji imaju wise iskustva u
ovakovim priredbama, trebali
ma vrijeme upozoriti mladje.
Svi mi svakog dana ucimo,
pa tako &c i nasi mladji da-
nom "a damon biti sve sprem-
niji u slicnim priredbama.
Lijepo je vidjeti da Sc mia

Program je otvorio tambu-
raski zbor pod vodstvom bra

kom j hrvatskom himnom.
t,Zatim je dosao ma pozornicu
mladi brat Charles Puskarich,
koji je ujedno i podpredsjed-
mix ovog odbora, te je pri-
sutne lijepo pozdravio i pred
stavio predsjednika odbora,
koji je dalje rukovodio sa
programom, takodjer mladog
brata - Anthony Klemencic.
Svakome je bilo drago vidje-

po imenu "Amity Girls Glee

lijepo pozdravio sa obilnim o.
dobravanjem. Kraci govor o.
drzao je gradonacelnik grada
Milwaukee, Frank P. Zeidler

from New York critics, but
those who criticized were prin-

Strauss Wiener BIut'
Makes Fine RECORDING
By jones 6. Deone

Many record collectors have
cherished the Viennese record
ing Of ''Die Fledermaus" which
came out several years ago Con
London). It has been a sort
of model Of what an operetta
recording should be.
Angel has come along with
a new one which, although
produced in London rather
than Vienna. follows the model
perfectly. This is Johann
Strauss wiener Blut."
wiener Blut" actually was
put together not by Strauss, but
by a Viennese musician named
Adolf Mueller. Strauss. in the
midst Of the project, caught
pneumonia, and he just man
aged to turn over the raw
materials to Mueller before he
died. But you would never
know the difference. The oper-
eta is the same kind Of de-
lightfully nonsensical, intoxi-
catingly melodious affair as
"Fledermaus."
Angels singers are all ex-
perts, too. The principals in
,clude Elisabeth Schwarzkopf,
Erich Kunz, Emmy Loose and
Nicolai Gedda, all Of whom
participated in Angels effer-
vescent issues Of 1.-THE Merry
Widow" and "The Land Of
Smiles" and the conductor is
the same capable Otto Acker-
mann. As for the sound. it
could not be improved upon.
Only a real, unreconstructed
Scrooge could resist this one.
"Wiener Blut" takes three
LIP sides. Angel has left the
fourth side blank and reduced
the price somewhat to compen-
safe.
Nielsen Symphony
Until quite recently most
Americans had no opportu-
nifty to hear any music by
Carl Nielsen, the Danish COM
poser who died in 1881. The
visit Of the Danish National
Orchestra to this country two
seasons ago Git played one of
Nielsen's symphonies here)
was for many an introduce
ton to Nielsen.
Records are now beginning
to f1ll in q picture Of this
Scandinavian composer. On
one Of several new discs, Lon
don has paired two concertos,
one of them for flute and the
other for clarinet. Another

In the fall of 1929 when
Vincent Youmans was ready
ing his new stage production
Great Day" for an october
opening, a young singer named
Harold Arlen had been en-
gagged for one Of the parts.
However, fate stepped In
when the rehearsal pianist be-
came i'll. and Harold was asked
to take over at the piano on
the bare stage.
Among the singing and
dancing groups he rehearsed
in their routines was the Will
Marion Cook Negro chorus,
and while teaching them the
choral background for the
title song, Great Day." Arlen
came UP with something of an
innovation. While playing the
rehearsal vamp, a term applied
to simple accompaniment i'm
provised for the occasion, he
added new melodic chords and
tonal embellishments as the
routine was rehearsed over and
over again.
During a lull in the re-
11earsar. Will Marion Cook
went over to the piano and
told Arlen that he had a pretty
tune in the old vamp, and to
put it down on paper and sell
it before somebody stole it.
So Harold Arlen did Just
that He played the tune for
Harry Warren, then q staf
composer for one of the big
music publishers, who liked 1t
so well that he introduced
Arlen to lyricist Ted Koehler,
with the suggestion that Ted
put some words to the music.
The song that began as a re-
hearsal vamp then became the
overnight hit, Get Happy"
when popular singer Ruth Et-
ting introduced 1t in the finale
of the "9:l5 Revue"
Thus did Harold Arlen
change from an aspiring singer
to an inspired song writer, one
who was destined to become
one Of our finest composers.

Antagonism to Christmas Is
as rare as the belittling of
motherhood, but 1t has existed
from time to time. Samuel

Puritan leaders in the late 18th
and early 18th century Bos-

tailed diary revealing the
homely history of the times.
noticed with some bitterness
the continued hold OF Christ
mas on the people. Christmas,
Maypole dancing and similar
leftovers from pagan times,
Sewall thought, should be
dealt with vigorously, even
though he admitted in his
diary that he was "a lover Of
musick to a fault"
AS late as 1885 a branch of
the Presbyterian Church in
Scotland officially excoriated
Christmas observance as traf-
fic with papism. On the other
hand, there were newspaper
accounts only two or three
years ago Of a Catholic Church
dignitary in France objecting

the grounds that he was a

disc features the nth SYM
phony. The third, q 10-inch
disc, has the overture and
three orchestral excerpts from
a comic opera, "Maskarade."
The "Maskarade" overture Is
also on the disc bearing the
fifth symphony.
The Danish National Or
chestra. an excellent body Of
musicians, plays all of this
music. and it comes over with
splendid effect. The flute con-
certo is a lighthearted piece,
written apparently with tongue,
in cheek, which features q
mock battle between the Of
fetal solo instrument and q
recalcitrant trombone. The
music is melodic and makes
charming listening. The
clarinet concerto is more
serious. It has q recurrent
military tone suggested in
part by the snare drum, which
keeps very busy, and is full
Of conflicts and clashes.
The symphony also has some
military overtones and O good
deal of conflict. It has q char
acter Of It's own, however, q
very substantial one. It is
obviously a major work, one
which, with some others by
this relatively unknown COM
poser. may someday overshad-
ow some familiar music Of
this century, say that Of Sho-
stakovitch, for instance.
The "Maskarade" music is
in the vein Of the flute con-
certo, brilliant and jaunty. It
makes one curious to hear the
whole opera. which no doubt
LIPS will make possible in due
course.

Justice Department Acts To Adjudicate
Wartime Term Life Insurance Losses

WASHINGTON (JACL)-A find
ing of a fair market price at the
time of loss" has been determined
for term life insurance under the
evacuation claims law, Justice De-
partment officials informed Mike
Masaoka Washington representa-
tive of the Japanese American CT
tizens League.
In arriving at the precedent
setting adjudication, the Justice
Department first held that h e
precedents determined for regular
life insurance were not applicable
to term insurance because no re
serve" or equity" accumulated in
term insurance.
1t was found that the deceased,
husband of the claimant, was not
insurable at the time of his death
even though he had been insurable
at the tt m e o evacuation and
abandonment of his term life in
surance. Thus, the loss of the in
surance policy due to evacuation
was found to be compensate.
The widows evacuation claim
was based on the face value" of
$1,000 of the insurance policy in
this claim. Her husbands insur-
ance policy was cancelled due to
nonpayment of premiums on April
l, 1912 and the insured died on
October 30, l943 Based on these
facts the Government calculated
the fair market value" of the
term insurance policy as follows:
This being the actual fact, hte
element of speculation with res
pect to his life expectancy on April
l, 1912, the date of loss, is elimin-
ated and the period of such ex-
pectancy may reasonably be pre-
sumed to have been one year, six
months and % days
Information provided by the in
surer discloses that the amount of
the unpaid semi-annual premium
due on April l, 1912 was $14 90;
furthermore, that under the terms
OF the policy the insured would
have been required to pay an adj
ditional 200 in premiums subse-
quent to that date and prior to
his death. This being the case, it
is clear that buyer purchasing

claimants policy on April l, 1912
would receive the $1,000 90 matur-
ity value only after the expendi-
ture of $500 in premium p =
ments.
THE gross net which he would
ultimately realize, lie, the amount
before deduction of interest pre-
MUM payments, would according
ly be 1914 90 Before such buyer
could receive the $9440O. however,
he would have to wait more than
eighteen months for his money In
view of this fact, also the not in
significan cunt of capital
which he would have tied up, such
buyer presumably would want a
substantial return on his invest
ment, namely, not less and 6 ia
per annum or total of 10-11 per
