Paul Kosok, Brooklyn's and the country's foremost Orders have come thick and fast from Federal Departments with respect to the dissemination of information respecting the war.

The "fox-trots" turned out to be a series of sad Indian folk songs.

That time only the name had taken." Dr. Kosok pointed out that the preponderant foreign influence on indigenous music was, of course, Spanish, and that there was very little native music that was untouched by this influence. Rich Musical Field Dr. Kosok 's search for old musical forms sent him prowling through Amazon jungles, across wide fertile pampas, over the Andean peaks and along the desert coast, by mule, horseback, native trucks, buses, cars, airplanes and dug-out canoes.

Dr. Kosok brought back to the United States copies of some of their works and his first playing of these at the Brooklyn Museum Concert Saturday will include exotic compositions based on an Afro-Cuban dance, Brazilian Indian themes and rhythm and Indian folk songs and dances of the Andean Mountains. for development into modern symphonic forms. Mexico and Peru with their large Indian populatlohs and Brazil with its strong Negro elements are particularly rich in their heritage of expressive folk melodies which composers can utilize.

At present there are many promising composers in Latin America verified by the Government.

We had early in this war some examples of fantastic press laudation of military and administrative chiefs. We can still remember the extravagant picture presented to us of General Gamelin. an untried commander and there was similar hero worship of some of the British generals whom the Churchill Government found it necessary to displace later. Our First Reaction For some time we have been denied information of the dispositions and condition of our own outposts.

There is, of course, good reason for some of this, but it is now quite manifest that the Japanese were by no means mystified. The deadly accuracy of their blows showed that their military intelligence system was both active and efficient. When the fact that Japan had struck was made public the general reaction was one of resentment against the enemy and a common resolution to stand behind the Government until victory had been won. However, there was an undercurrent of surprise and disquiet be- Round sung and played all over Asia."

If it were not, to be specific, for women like Mrs. Florence R. Dolowitz and her husband, Alexander Dolowitz, of 718 Cortelyou Road, both ORT workers.

Mrs. Dolowitz established the Women's American ORT, with Dr. Anna P. Boudin of Manhattan, 15 V'9 I Latin American countries. He found a rapidly growing interest in symphonic music among the people of all classes throughout Latin America.

In the capital cities of most South American countries there are government-supported orchestras which play classical and native works at concerts and radio broadcasts. These draw large appreciative audiences. In Lima, where Dr. Kosok was. the first North chapters, and following the usual leisure-time organization activities, Mrs.

Dolowitz now devotes a regular working day to the Women's ORT. In order to understand the causes of the special economic situation of the Jews in Europe, she went back to the classroom to plied that he would "neither confirm, nor deny the report," and then i he asked: "Wheie were our airplanes and patrols in Hawaii, up in Baguio?" The reference was to a place celebrated as a resort in the Philippines. Mr. Connally added that he would not ask for a Congressional investigation, because this was not the time for it. "We are going to lose ships and fliers," he said.

"I only hope that the Japanese lose more than we do. We have got to tighten up." We Can Take Some Defeats The American public can understand a good faith that feared no such betrayal as came to our Government on Sunday. It has no doubt of President Roosevelt's good faith. And it knows that even Lincoln, in a great national crisis, had to try out many commanders before he found Grant and Sherman and Sheridan, and the chiefs who gave victory to the cause. The American people can take some defeats, although they are accustomed to victories.

However, if news censorship is too strict and dependent on inexperienced men who make foreign information agencies their model, the result is likely to be the formation of public opinion on rumors, exaggerations and distortions rather than on plain if often unpalatable facts. We are going to win this war because we must win it. But It will Mrs. Florence R. Dolowitz not be won by song fests and speeches, by the lectures of professors and American guest conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru, more than 15,000 people stood In rapt silence at a concert which he directed.

In the audience were Indians in their vivid native dress, European types in their best clothes, army officers in braid-trimmed uniforms, diplomat and government officials wearing their insignia of office. In Bogota, too, bare footed mountain Indians along with sophisticatedly dressed Colombians came to hear a series of concerts of Pan American music played by the Colombia National Symphony Orchestra with Dr. Kosok as the clamor of sociologists. It will be won by American fighting men on land and sea, capably led, properly equipped and backed by the com- pclling support of a united and informed democratic republic. YOUR BIRTHDAY By Stella the Jewish Theological Seminary in New Vork for courses in Jewish history.

She ailed Bible and literature, and fortified with these studies, embarked on an independent study of the effect of world events upon the economic status of the Jews In all countries. The practical result of this long period of self-education was the establishment of courses for leaders in Women's American ORT and Junior American ORT to make them better missionaries in the ORT cause. Naturally, all of this educational and organizational work has left Mrs. Dolowitz little time for a few other Interests, and far from relaxing she is ready for her 16th year of intensive work. Mrs.

Dolowitz's schedule at present consists of the following: As first vice president of Women's American ORT she also served four years as president Mrs. Dolowitz is called on to visit the 50 chapters including the five In Brooklyn to deliver speeches, assist in organization and advise on education. As national membership chairman she plans and directs the important work of enlisting new cohorts, as well as keeping the present 5,000 members actively interested. As study leader she conducts classes every week for women and juniors in New York City, carries on her research work and prepares Thursday, Dec. 11 Born today, you have excellent business acumen i and know the value of money and how to sae.

Although you may years ago next Dec. 16. More than 1,800 women from all parts of the United States will attend a membership tea at the Commodore Hotel on that date, which will also mark the 15th anniversary of continuous effort In behalf of ORT by Mrs. Dolowitz. Now vice president of the organization she also served four years as president.

The letters ORT stand for Organization for Rehabilitation through Training and the federation was originally started to provide industrial and agricultural training for the economic readjustment of European Jews. Now it has been extended to Argentine, where a school is already established and new projects are In process of completion. Mrs. Dolowitz, whose husband is finance committee chairman of the American ORT Federation, twice toured ORT projects In Europe, first In 1928 and again in 1937 when she accompanied her husband, who was a delegate to a world ORT union convention. A triple career woman, Mrs.

Dolowitz originally started her ORT work as a leisure time occupation. A graduate of Hunter College, she was a grade and high school teacher for seven years before retiring to bring up a family. She has a daughter and a son. The daughter, Grace, now a graduate summa cum laude of Bryn Mawr, is nowat Bryn Mawr studying for a Ph. D.

In French, having spent a year on a scholarship at the University of Sorbonne, Paris, and another at the University of Chicago. The son, Dr. David A. Dolowitz, a graduate ization whose primary aim is the rehabilitation of the Jews of Europe through vocational training, Mrs. Dolowitz said: "In ORT we are working to rehabilitate, to readjust the economic life of our people.

How much more Intelligently will we be able to follow our work when we trade the economic vicissitudes in Jewish life throughout the ages, how it was distorted through oppression, what conditions caused the distortion and what steps were taken in the past to rehabilitate the Jews. "The attitude of the Jews toward physical labor has always been a healthy one, but generations of oppression, confinement to ghettos and exclusion from the fields of skilled work forced the Jews to concentrate on business and professions as sources of support. This resulted in an unbalanced occupational structure in Jewish life and it was to correct this defect that the ORT was organized. "Today the ORT maintains for the refugees and other war victims trade schools, industrial workshops and farming projects in England, France, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Rumania, Argentine and China. This work goes on despite all difficulties-even in the Warsaw ghetto and in refugee camps in France and Switzerland where the Jews make clothes, shoes and other necessities for themselves." never become wealthy, it is likely you will never lack for the comforts of life at any time.

Changing At fairs and fiestas, the same Indians who had been listening to a Beethoven symphony or a Straus waltz at a concert began singing and dancing to their "old" folk songs.

These "old" folk songs, however, are changing continually, as the people come in contact with new musical ideas and instruments which seem more expressive to them, and adopt and adapt them. For instance, in one native village Dr. Kosok visited, Amazonian tom-toms were being beaten With jungle savagery inside a crowded, dimly-lighted, bamboo long house. The entire village was there, playing, stamping or chanting in primitive, monotonous rhythm.
