Platt was also respcmsible for bringing Bemie Armstrong KDKA orgamst. and the Kinder Sisters to Cumberland for a concert for the benefit of Allegany high school band in 1940.

Shortly after his induction mto the army, Platt, while still a private, convinced his superiors at Camp Lee, Va. that a band at the reception center was not onl; essential but a definite possibility. Organized Army Band Without any aid from the army, Platt organized a band and wrote to Allegany high school music department and borrowed music. Soon, Camp Lee had a band, and in a surprisingly short time, it became one of the most popular bands in the army. Camp Lee became the first reception center in America to organize and foster own band, Piatt was soon elevated to the rank of sergeant.

Platt's band was sent overseas with the air transport command and he succeeded the late Glenn L. Miller in the ETO. Before he was discharged, Platt established a record of 200 broadcasts, made two foreign movies, and had the sale of many records in four European countries to his credit. He presented programs In fifteen European countries and broadcast programs from France, Switzerland and Denmark. Eight of his radio program- were broadcast to the United States by means of National, Columbia and American broadcasting companies.

Platt had many famed and popular personages ou his programs while in Europe, including Bob Hope Ingrid Bergman, Betty Hutton, Frank Sinatra, Jack Benny and others. At the March of Dimes dance in France, he had the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the De- Gaulles, Noel Coward, Vivian Leigh, Marlene Dietrich, Mickey Rooney, (Continued on Page 10 Col, j) tacted, but there are a few out- sbe standing cards to be heard from and Mrs Jonathan Anderson.

EXTILE WORKERS TO COMPLETE ACTION ON WAGE ISSUE Officials of Local 1874, Textile Workers of America, CIO, declined to disclose the action taken at an overflow membership meeting last evening but said the union will release a statement concerning the status of wage negotiations with the Celanese Corporation of America after the completion of a second membership meeting this morning at 10 The official schedule last evening called for a report on the wage negotiations, a possible strike vote and a report on the recent TWUA convention. Arthur L. Schusterman, recording secretary, reported that the union voted last evening to donate $250 to the Cancer drive and to send ten boys to the Police Boys Club summer camp. The Celanese union financed vacations for a similar number of boys last year.

Company officials said last that Commissioner James A. Holden, of the conciliation service, has arranged a meeting to be held Friday afternoon at 2 at the Celanese plant for continued negotiations on the wage issue..
