The army's recognition that
music often can WOO the
human heart when preaching
has failed was the outgrowth
of mob violence in London,
back in 1873. A cornet-play-
ing preacher, Charles Fry, and
his three sons, also musicians
in brass, used their instru-
mentS to quell a riot by play
ing a hymn as a group of
Salvationists were being
roughly handled.
Deploying the all-brass en-
sembleS as the organ" of the
organization, the army takes
its religious message to the
needy who probably never
would enter a church. And.
as the combined chords Of an
organ play sweet music, the
blending of brass instruments
can convey a similar. soothing
effect. But to make sure the
beauty rather than the blare
of brass harmony is distin-
guishable, the army starts
training its bandSmen when
they are barely old enough to
hold a tuba or a trombone.
Attached to the National
Capital Division, for, example,
there are seven centerS in the
Washington area, each with a
junior band which practices
twice weekly. The youngsters,
every summer, attend outdoor
music camps for two weeks
of fun and instruction. An

in 49 cities in the United
States, each attended by 100
to 800 young musicians.

Search Is Continued,
But Hopes Fade for
AZ on Missing Plane
BY The Assoeiused Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Scores
Of planes and ships today con-
| tinued to scour the North At
lantic for a missing Navy plane
carrying % persons. amid un-
confirmed reports Of flare and
debris sightings.
The Super Constellation has
been missing since it left the
Patuxent River Naval Air Sta
tion in Maryland Saturday night.
There also were what one or
two radio listeners believed to
be SOS calls. but, as in the pur-
ported flare and debris sight
ings. Navy officials emphasized
there was little to raise hopes.
Others Hear Nothing.
Many other ships and planes
listening on the radio distress
frequency heard nothing resem-
bling an SOS.
Authorities also explained
there always is floating debris to
be found and said this meant
nothing until it could be studied
carefully. Eager searchers also
sometimes think they see flares
when none are there.
The plane was en- route to
North Africa with many service
men, and some wives and chill
dren.
First stop was to be the
Azores. where some Of the pas
sengers were to change planes.
Last Report From Plane.
A routine report made by the
plane 80 minutes after its takeoff
was the last heard from it. At
that time 1t was about 480 miles
east of Baltimore. It had enough
fuel to remain aloft until 10 am.
Sunday.
When the plane did not arrive
in the Azores a vast sea and air
armada was modified to search
for it along a 100-mile-wide cor
ridor from the East Coast to the
Azores.

possible report" said a spokes-

these is to give older people COM

the opportunity to develop tall

With men and women living

and the retirement ages still

which is being solved to some
