CHICAGO (UP) The Salvation Armv brousht back "that old time religion" Monday night in a foot stomDin 'halleluiah" revival modeled after the fervent 1880s. Eight hundred persons crowded the old Princess Rink to chorus "amen" and "yea. brother" as the Army relived its pioneer days. The old fashioned revival, staged by a cast of 100 Army members, was in commemoration of .the evangelistic organization's 75thn niversary in the United States and its 70th year in Chicago. - The now - crumbling Princess Rink on Chicago's West Side once rocked to " some of the Army's greatest revival sessions before the turn of the century. The Army left the old hall in 1900" and the Rink fell upon loose ways. It was used as a dance hall, a roller skating rink and a night club before' it was abandoned. "Army" Returns But the Army came back and the old rink rocked again. The Army's lads and lassies put on false beards and 1885 costumes. A few of the women even painted their.faces in order to impersonate fallen women. Such a one was "Sister Flossie," who stood up to announce: "One year ago tonight I was bound down by the chains of sin and drink. I had no home, no friends, no hope. Then, while walk ing the streets, I heard the music of the Salvation Army band . . .

EnRoute to California ''The 57 passengers included 17 Air Force, four Navy, 12 Marine and 22 Army personnel, . in addi tion to a civilian woman and her baby daughter. The plane, attached to Air Transport Squadron Three at Moffett Field. Calif., about 40 miles south of San Francisco, was enroute to Travis Air Force Base, Calif., about 50 miles northeast of San Francisco. A military spokesman said the plane took off from Hickam Field at 7:16 p.m. HST yesterday and reported at 10:32 p.m. that it had developed radio trouble and would have to return. The plane was ex pected to land back at Hickam at 1:40 a.m. Weather Was Gd Authorities were unable to offer any explanation for the crash im mediately other than the pilot ap parently wandered off his ap proach pattern somehow. The weather in the area was generally good with occasional clouds and light rains Marine Pfc. Joseph: T., Price, Carlsbad, N.M., who was standing guard at the. ammunition depot, said he saw the plane come roar ing over the depot at an altitude of 500 to 600 feet He said it barely missed hitting a 700 foot radio an tenna At that point the pilot turned on the plane's landing lights and ap parently saw the ridge ahead. The pilot banked a sharp right, Price said, but it was too late to avoid smashing into the mountain. Plane Burns Fiercely Price said he looked up at the mountainside just as the plane hit and the valley below lit; up like daylight for about one minute. He said he could see the fire bum ing fiercely for several minutes after the crash Clarence Hoe, a civilian ordi nanceman at the depot who lives on the station said he heard the plane pass over so low that the r i - . - , fry A .iL - SAN FRANCISCO John W.

Giving this sad news to thou sands of excited violin owners is a regular and painful job to Rem bert Wurlitzer, one of the few ex perts in the United States whose experience - qualifies him to say "yes" or "no about the authen tipity of an old instrument - and have his word accepted. "It's pathetic sometimes," he said in his shop in Manhattan. "People often bring violins here at great personal expense and ex pect to walk out rich. Then I have to tell them the instrument might bring $5 at a second-hand store, if they re lucky." Six Injuries A Day Wurlitzer gets as many as six inquiries a day from people who want to convert a "Strad" into quick cash. He is able to deflate most of these bubbles by mail aft er examining a photograph of the violin, what misleads many own ers is the "Stradivarius" label. , Antonio Stradivari, the master violin maker, with the help of his! two sons, Francisco and Omobo- no, pasted a printed label bearing his Latinized name and mono gram and date inside each instru ment they produced at their fa mous shop in Cremona, Italy, during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Many Reproductions But since then, hundreds of thousands of violins have been manufactured and a reproduction of the Stradivarius label pasted in as a trademark. "The label just doesn't mean anything. It is no different than believing every car with the word "Ford" on the hood was put to gether personally by Henry Ford.' There are about 600 authenticat ed Stradivari instruments, includ ing violas and violoncellos, known to exist. Wurlitzer has a file on more than 300 of them in his office. Kept No Record "The Stradivaris kept no record of their production. From what we know of their rate of output it s estimated ' they turned out about 1200 instruments altogether. Now, the problem is whether any of the 600 unaccounted for have survived. I doubt it. A violin is a fragile thing, youAnow." A Stradivari instrument usually brings from $3000 to 175,000 on the market, depending on its condi tion and whether it represents the best work of the Italian masters. The SAnish government paid London dealer $35,000 in 1951 for a Stradivari violin which had dis appeared from Madrid in 1813 and turned up in England more than 100 years later. Another was believed to have gone out of circulation in 1948. Madame Patricia Du Bois, a re tired violin virtuoso, had her Stradivarius interred beside her in a mausoleum at Cerupton, Calif., where she died at the age of 78. ' Wurlitzer checked an expert who had repaired her violin and found that hers was not a genuine Stradivarius. either. All state veterans' bonuses are exempt from state and federal income taxation, as are most other. benefits payable to'exser vicemen or their survivors, the state Department of Veterans' Affairs reported this week. Other items excluded in com puting federal and slate tax re turns, which are cue April 15, includes: OI insurance' dividends; all Veterans Administration bene fits including educational sub sistence, compensation and pen sions; insurance proceeds paid on death of the insured; mustering out pay and jobless benefits paid under the Korean GI bill: and social security benefits, work men's compensation and sickness benefits. Retirement-pay for length of service is taxed both by the fed eral government and the State of Oregon. Disability retirement pay is exempt from federal taxation, while Oregon taxes any amount in excess of $3,000 with this ex ception: if the Veterans' Admin istration had at one time been responsible for making the pay ment, then it is totally exempt Oregon servicemen on active duty enjoy a state income tax exclusion on the first $3,000 of their annual military pay. This includes pay earned during an nual National Guard summer camp or Reserve cruises or maneuvers of two weeks or more. Servicemen must pay' federal taxes on their military income except for periods of service in Korea or adjacent waters. ACy income taxes owed by a service man who dies on active duty as the result of service in Korea are forgiven by Uncle Sam. however, did not still a widely held belief that his retirement is imminent The aging Prime Minister's re mark was made in an exchange with former Socialist Defense Min ister Emanuel ShinweU. Shinwell intervened during a question on whether Churchill would follow the American lead and appoint a dis armament minister. Yalta Discussion A moment later Churchill was serious. He said he did not think "it would be a good plan" to appoint a British disarmament minister as a counterpart to Harold E. Stas- sen. And to Socialist questioners he said he had been informed by Washington on March 11 that the United States agreed, with the British stand against publishing the Yalta papers. However,' he was Informed four days later that the U.S. State De partment had changed its mind be cause of pressure which could not be resisted any longer It was in the exchange over ap pointment of a British disarma ment minister that the question of the 80-year-old Churchill's retire ment came up.
