Natural Winds May Be
Turned Into Melodies
By Arnold Dibble.
Amarillo, Tex. (U.Pj The
whistling winds that pump
water for the cattle industry
of the Texas Panhandle some
day may produce natural music
as aesthetic as a Straus waltz.
Those same near-constant
winds are believed car-able of
producing natural plains music
or Beethoven sonatas in a gi
gantic "wind orrjan."
This "wind organ" was plaii
ned for the cut-up country of
beautiful Palo Duro canyon,
23 miles toutheast of here.
The idea of capturing the
music of the plains wind was
originated several years ago anl
developed by Guy A. Carlander,
Amarillo architect, until it is
now known to t an engineer
ing possibility.
The wind Instrument would
be built in the form of a small
memorial dug Into the side of
the cliff of the canyon. In the
wall, which would be the cliff
wall, slender opening would
be cut to utilize the winds and
drafts of the canyon.
Wind would play upon the
Instrument for both controlled
and uncontrolled sound music.
It could furnish power to play
recorded pieces or left uncon
trolled to produce its own nat
ural melody.
'The wind produces, under
certain conditions when loosed
against proper furniture, sills,
reeds and hollow tubes, noises
which are interesting, weird
fantastic, and at times beauti
ful In composition and sound,'
the originator said.

Entangling of Scandinavia,
Rumania, Turkey, Greece
and Yugoslavia Held Aim
Berlin. July 3. VP) Alleged
Allied "win the war" plons for
creating widespread new battle-
fronts against Germany pur
portedly by entangling Scandi
navia, Rumania, Turkey, Greece
and Yugoslavia in the European
struggle were published today
by DNB, the official German
news agency.
DNB asserted Allied docu
ments seized by Hitlers con
quering German armies in
France constituted "the great
est of sensations . . . Intrigue
such as the world never yet
has seen."
One of the documents, DNB
said, was signed by Generalis
simo Maurice Gamelin, former
Allied commander-in-chief, dat
ed last March 16, Just three
weeks before Germany -marched
into Denmark and Norway.
First in Series.
The five documents publish
ed today, a spokesman said, are
only the fiist in a series in an
official Nazi foreign office
white book.
A second group, to be pub
lished tomorrow, deals with as
serted Allied machinations to
involve Turkey.
A third group, the spokes
man said, concerns Allied prep
arations for the Flanders campaign.
The Gamelin document, as
quoted by DNB, was entitled
conduct of the war and call
ed for action described as "wear
and tear of German forces
in order to strike perceptible
if not decisive blows against
Germany."
DNB further quoted Gamelin:
"At the moment, it appears
very difficult to achieve good
results on land outside fie un
occupied areas. Therefore, Ger
many must be forced to come
out of of its present waiting
position."
Supply Curb Planned.
Among other plans, DNb
said, the various documents
called for "cutting off or de
stroying Swedish ore mines,
and destroying Rumanian oil
wells at Baku-Batum."
They were made public in
anticipation of the issuance of
the sixth white book of the
war by the German foreign
office.
