Edgar Hoover, particularly when our fed eral sleuths are throwing Soviet spies by the heels-. We didn't know until a few hours ago, that the theme song which introduces "The FBI in Peace and War" program (cbs every Thursday, 8 to 8:30 P.M.), is the composition of Red Russia's famed Serge Pro 1 kofiev. And most importantly, we know. "I'll give th patient another few he said in an interview shortly 1 fine departing from l.aGuardia Field. "A month so Ut tile most."

if didn't know that the American sponsors of the program may have to kick in U.S. dollars to the Moscow bank account of Soviet musical commissars, for the privilege of using the Commie strains to give a proper radio sendoff to the FBI heroes. There's a dispute on royalties. And this brings a wry grin because the Russian composer now ased in the FBI program settled down to further composition last Summer. Sixty days after American troops entered into Truman's shooting war in Korea, he came up with a Kremlin party-line oratorio entitled "On Guard of Peace," in which the third part, according to this Prokofiev, represented "the sinister, evil forces of the American warmongers and Wall Street merchants on their way to Korea, carrying hundreds of thousands of death-dealing bombs."

The Red influence in American book publishing has also been placed on the line the best of the more recent jobs being done by the competent Irene Kuhn in an article in the American Legion Magazine and in recent broadcasts. The music appeal of the Reds is now coming to the front. Both the House Un-American group, the Senate anti-subversive group under McCarran's Judiciary Committee, Senator McCarthy and others on Capitol Hill have been receiving reports on the Communist infiltration by way of music which reach all the way from the austere Metropolitan Opera to the most vulgar of radio disc jockeys.

Xosv no lasvmaker or Washington commentator is going to be stupid enough to suggest that the playing of a Russian musical composition is going to woo Americans to the Kremlin way of life. But there's another slant on the Kremlin drive to put their music over over here and we don't think that Pal Joey's propaganda boys were chewing over old Plato's rather screwy observation to the effect that "musical innovation is full of danger to the state, for when modes of music change, the laws of the state always change with them."

Vclde named no name, but in It comes closer to home than that! First of all bear in mind that the radio program "The FBI in Peace and War" shouldn't be confused with the "This Is Your FBI" program which bears the imprimatur of J. Edgar Hoover's agency and which doesn't have a Soviet theme tune to give it a sendoff. Also, please note this to bear down on Russian influence in recent weeks that when those swell newsreel battleshots taken by combat picture men in Korea were shown here a commercial distributing agency picked for incidental music the compositions of the Communist musical pet Shostakovitch an astounding choice, and the selection of the Commie strains from the Red Opera "Love of Three Oranges" to introduce the exploits of Hoover's Red-hunting G-Men.

Fed up, Complains Radio Listener. On the desk of Senator McCarthy there is an interesting letter written by irate music lover Melinda C. Moran of 805 Madison Manhattan, to the director of a New York radio station. Writes the lady in part: "Sir: "Shostakovitch Prokofiev Stravinsky (Brahms) Tschaikovsky Borodin Mcussorgsky Glinka (Mozart) Glazounov Prokofiev Khachaturian Borodin Stravinsky (Beethoven) Prokofiev Shostakovitch Borodin Glinka. and so on and on and on day in day out! "What it this? Station MINSK? KHARKOV? VOLOGDA? This is a New York radio station.

"Listening to the station these days, one is inclined to wonder whether music too is a Russian 'invention' red pink and crypto. "Being tired of these continuous pro-Russian programs, when there is plenty of other good music around, I telephoned the station and was told that all royalties for any such programs are being sent to Russia. Needless to say, these dollars do not go to the composers, but to the 13 in the Kremlin to help their cause! A nice 'invisible trade' with our enemy. "I was told that all programs are being selected in accordance with requests received 'from all over the country' for all kinds of Russian music. (To put it in the exact words of my informant).

"Is that another organized movement of the Communist Party of the United States? "Give us a break! Stop making this propaganda! Stop giving our enemies dollars! We are tired of it. "Incidentally, you may try to look for loopholes, and shrug me off as a 'Red-baiter' who is trying to boycott 'culture' as Hitler used to do and Stalin does. I am not. I am merely hoping for first-rate music while such exists as against third- and fifth-rate Russian modern Jose Ferrer lo -e. Won't Wast- Time.

Kilian, a veteran of vaudeville and the repertory theater, has worked in the movies 15 years, mostly in minor roles.
