By Eli NEST FOSTER HOLLYWOOD U.K- Characterization music, a new technique of helBhlfnint a a i acllon oj a Fcroeii ov radio story Just as illus- of books clarity the or scenes ot action, is being in Hollywood. Lclth Stevens. has been musical director ot "Big Town," the Erin-ard G. Robinson radio show over CBS since it started five years lias theory Ihal music should not serve, merely background purposes. He believes music should be employed to express the character of scene nnd its emotional Implications.

Tlic conciuclor hit upon the, idea for cliaraclerlzatlon music while attending Metropolitan Opera productions in New York. "It occurred to me." lie recalls In the minds of Ihe public certain a arias or overtures are nuloinnttrnlly associated i famous scenes expressing powerful emotions -r Wagners -Tristan and Isolde 1 thr- ereal undi-ilyini; theme Is un- ilyinu love. Wagner In ivrltlng ths overture i i expressed that emotion and throughout the opera the same strsii.i nre prevalent. The listener, heariru; them. Immediately realizes the potency or the situation recognizes the conflict ot the cllaiv.ctevs Othe: sooti examples of the char- aru-rizauor principle.

Stevens says are (he abandon and mad jealousy of Bizet's "Carmen" the tragic fatherly love of Verdi's "Rigoletto." ami the soul's battle against evil In Gounod's "Fnmt." 'This Is the theory etidenv- i lo apply to 'Bl? Town'." Stevens explains, this series there, is a i episode every week, woven around the exploits of dynamic newspaperman In i i crime, reckless driving, juvenile delinquency and other menaces." 'Itie "Btc Town" maestro Ire- 1 romposes music for his characterization requirements. He studies tiie script to eet the dramatic "feel" of the story and Its characters. Then he arranges a score embodying these emotional elements. TODAY'S PUZZLER HORIZONTAL comedian. 12 One.

McLEMORE SEEMS LIKE THEY'VE O.VLY BEGUN TO FIGHT UNTIL THEY GET MARRTF.l). NEW my encyclopedia is i through its teeth, nearly all of the great soldiers of hiEiory were married men. AttJla the Hun was no great shakes ns a fighter unlll he married Mrs. Allila the Hun, who undoubtedly called him Attila Honey. Napoleon was a man who knew all about cold cream, curlers and Thursday night Ice box snacks, It's even money that George Washington never was able to lake a shower without first having 10 move Martha's Blockings from the curtain rod where they had been hung up to dry.

It's F. mortal einch a Mrs. Grant wrote to Ulysses while he was Vlckshurg and asked him when he was coming home and why In the world he was staying so niuch Longer lhati he said he would. Von could go on a i the distinguished married militarists of history but to bring ihltigs right up to daw. who do you think was with Mai-Arthur Luzon? Mis MacArthur.

All of i is hy way of leading up to a dlscusion of the gentle that has been raised by the a marriages ot ihe soldiers in the American Expeditionary Forces. It seems that the boys have been mixing orniige with gunpowder too much to suit certain parties in lands where our men have been sent to fight. An Australian cleric is quoted as saying, "The Americans came here to i not to marry," and from Ireland have come reports a some authorities in a country are a trifle tipset by the numbev colleens who have said "1 do" to oiir men in khaki. There is no liner a i i a marriage for a soldier. months of married life is equivalent, to three years in a camp, and or four years of marriage ivlil do as much or more for a man than half a dozen campaigns.

Obedience is the first requisite a soldier. What offers a steuiir, fuller -nurse in this than marriage? Nothing. An a i soldier finds 11 difficult suddenly lo start taking orders. He chafes and rebels at being oossed around. But not the married soldier.

He's accustomed to hiving a superior officer in charge, and he takes to commands like a dog to hamburger. Obedience is but. one ot Ihe a military essentials a marriage tear.hes a man. You'll nerrr a married soldier who underestimates an opponent, can you Imagine a married gun bearer holding the enemy ilghtly when he has learned a one woman, wearing nothing more formidable than doited Swiss or i a weighing less a HO pounds mid srmed with nothing more lethal than a glance, can defeat him ten times out of eleven? A married soldier has no fear of hard work. War winning is no tougher than bread winning.

Most married men find army life easy the duties slight, after years of 'being Ihe No. 2 boys in a household. There never was a sergeant, i a or a who could find as many things for a soldier to do as a wife can. What Is a forced march compared to running upstairs to get the scissors, going down In Ihe basement to jet the mop, hanging pictures, straightening curtains, mowing the lawn, i to the grocery for this, running the drug store for that, nnd generally being a perpetual motion machine in a two-pants suit? Guerrilla a a has become tremendously important. A married man is a a a guerrilla.

Fie Is wary. He is nlwnys on the alert. He can move about silently. He is not dismayed by sudder. attacks.

He knows when lo a when to take the offensive, and he has learned to ask no quarter. The a i a o( our soldiers should be a source of comfort to us nil. One can have nothing but confidence in a man, who. while waiting for the enemy, keeps in training by establishing his own privale theater of war: who. knowing that he can't win, goes right ahead and challenges lhat finest of all i wife.

What's that. Dear? will I run down to the slore for a quart of milk? Certainly, Sweetheart, but you'll have to let me have twenty cents.

That sounds pretty roir.antic, but it was cold and 1 the mosquitoes were lible, and anvhow Edip wasn't on the boat, so don't get ahead of 3 our story. But on this lvat I met a couple from San Francisco--Duane and Sevlgne Bush--and we became good friends. I stayed with them at their old camp In Alaska, and visited their home on our return to the states. The following winier there came to this couple' a beautiful baby daughter named Vondre. a remark- child, and for some mysterious reason I was appointed godfather to same.

In the ensuing years I have cultivated this cliilri i perfumes, candy, gardening love letters. lace and an occasional pinch, and have i a made such an impression upon her that now, at the age of four, she actually remembers my name. In the course of this courtship of my pod-daughter, I naturally met the rest of the a i including my god-rianghter's elder sister Edle (now 21 and purty--or am I getting old and But anyhow I met hpr, and then she went off to Oregon to college. Alter three years of higher learning she decided her time had come, so she turnsri her back upon the classroom and looked about for something to conquer. And since her Cousin Melba rather runs the Dcrp Well Guest a she chose that as her first conquest.

She didn't choose In one season she has captured the whole place. Everybody In town knows her. from Mother Coffinan riown to the lowliest cowboy. She walks gaily inlo the snooty Racquet Club In her overalls as if she owned the place, and they hold out their arms. She hasn't linen out of overalls since last October, and dreads (he near day when she will have to return to Han Tranclsco and put on a dress.

She wears her hair In pigtails, and guests can't believe she is more than 14, That saves her a lot of trouble, too. Shft Is absolutely agog over "hostessing" at the Ranch. She loves to ride and swim and talk to people, and thinks it's perfectly ridiculous that she should be getting paid for it. She plays miserable paddJp-ten- nis beat her- fi-2. and me with athlete's and she's lousy at dominos, but she's got what it takes to moke the guests happy.

and Ed had to earn his living at an early age. Jobs were not easy to but at last lie wn.s given a try-out by a farmer, near Mount Vernon. Ind. When he arrived sd Wec-ver found that his job was to superintend a number of negro a workers- The owner of the farm was very exacting, and had let two mtn go because rhev did not do the job wen. And now 15- year-old Ed was to try hU hand.

When F-'ri took nr-gro workers out to the farm, IIP found them a sullen, antagonistic lot. They did not want to work, and especially for an upstart boy The owner o( the farm said he would give Ed a week tryout, but he didn't make good, out with him. Ed started Ihe negroes to work. They and i a nnd Idled and sang and indulged In pranks. Ed urged them, but- The more he urged, the more (hey lonfprl and Idled.

He pleaded with them lo hurry the work, and to do the best they could. But pleadings made no i The men cnntlnued to loaf. Then one day Ed Weever hit on a profound principle of human nature, A principle that has moved mankind ever since the days of the man: he made Them w.int to work. told them that if they would get a certain amount of wort; done by 9:00 o'clock in the morning that they could a 15 minute off to go swimming.

Indian freedom can cnlr ft 6 ecure and develop la the room of the larger freedom of us nt! This fact is primary The second fact, is thtt our defence is Indivisible, and ihat defense compels a common strategy We have a coalition and must wage a coalition war. The third fact Is the element of time that Is the Instrument of those who use It The fourth fact is thai the friends of India are in i circles in the democratic- countries, who have fought India's battles bar ol public opinion in all lands where public opinion is still allowed lo function; and that In Asia India's two great friends are China and Russia.

Whatever action Indifa takes must be taken In the light of these foots. Otherwise her leadership Is ngitatory and UC.L statesmanlike. II India's actions prejudice the political freedom of China and Russia, India will be without a friend, if India's actloru deal a blow to the prrstipr Sir SUffojtf Crlpps and that branch of British opinion which has been as pro-Indian as Indians themselves, Ir.rila will be giving aid and romfort, to interests all over the world. The British lo India Is extremely far- reaching, it Is a promise cf independence as complete as that, of Canada or Australia--a status In a world commonwealth itwi includes even the right to Accede. It bids fair, lurthermore.

In the event of our victory, to be Uate In an association nations that beyond the British world unton. That Is a global union of the free. The offer, In the nature of things, carries the Uclt of the United Sta'es of America, The British leave India complete political freedom. The Crlpps offer expresses willingness to accept any solution reached by India herself, as to the form of her DoIUIcai organization. There ts no British pressure, i upon Moslems or princes or congress.

There Is impressed willingness to accept either a multiple Indian commonwealth or a i i one; and the Indians, demanding freedom, can hardly ask the British to commit one last act of coercion against nrjy group before pulling out. India is not a nation, Jn (he sense that Prance, or Germany, or the United States are nations. India like Europe.
