Editorial Correspondence
Los Angeles, Feb. 24: Whether Emerson said it or not (there
is no record of it in his written works) there Is no doubt of its
fundamental truth to-wit:
Build a better mouse-trap and the world will wear a path
to your door.
Do ANYTHING supremely well better than anyone else can
do it and you are famous, whether you want to be or don't.
That truth was well demonstrated before a erowded house
here at the Philharmonic last night when two young men they
looked like high schools boys put on a program that, because
of the Insistent applause, lasted almost until midnight. (Jimmy
Byrne's new curfew hour by the way.)
No. 1 was Larry Adler; No. 2, Paul Draper.
Larry plays a harmonica which in his case Is a silver-plated
custom-built, mouth organ.
Paul uses his feet after the fashion of Fred Aitalre, only Paul
has definitely gone highbrow tap-dancing to none other than
Brahms, Beethoven and Bach. (Oh yes, DeBussy and Palestrina
are also honored.)
Well we can't qualify as a critic of either mouth-organ or
tap-dancing. (Our secret ambition however, has always been to
tap-dance to the "Blue Danube," but like many another has never
been realized.)
But in our Judgment, while there Is no reasonable doubt (to
express our Idea in legal terminology) that these two young men
are supreme in their two fields, Mr. Adler Is decidedly the more
extraordinary.
And that might be expected when it is considered tnat ne
operates in the realm of music, and Mr. Draper only in the
realm of motion. The former field is a tremendous one, the lat
ter again In our humble Judgment definitely limited.
a e a e
But It was a most Interesting and diverting evening, for your
correspondent who is very fond of both music and dancing,
and here were two of the supreme artists of this country in
the world no doubt In these two particular mediums.
And as our hotel was Just across the street, we were rather
sorry the applause did not continue even longer, although an hour
before the end various and sundry members of the audience arose
and slunk away, no doubt compelled to by the fact there were
no Pacific-Electric cars to get them
Colton or Long Beachl
Mr. Adler looks rather like a
Berlin.
Yes. he is a little chap, the
almost to the floor. But how he can play how he can make that
mouth-organ TALK or rather sing. And his range covers every
thing from reveille to taps Schubert's Sonata No. I In D Opus
137, to Nigun, the "Baal Shem" suite or what have you?
And then, as the applause
with "Boogie Woogie," and as a finale he and Paul put on a
show, both extemporizing we couldn't figure out whether Paul
was adjusting himself to Larry, or Larry to Paul. But the re
sult was rather magnificent, with Paul dancing his heels and
head off and Larry knocking the "mouth" off that "organ", and
really producing an organ alone with an orchestra In reserve.
It was a musical and terpslchorean triumph. The two boys seemed
to enjoy it and everyone else certainly did.
Paul Draper, Incldently, comes from a very gifted family.
His sister is the famous Miss Ruth Draper, monologist, and he
Is red-headed. But our own idea Is, he suffers somewhat from
delusions of grandeur. He aspires to great things via the medium
of his feet, but after all what one can really express by tapping
the heel and toe of a metal-bound shoe on a floor. Is limited to
say the least. The medium of music is not at least not so much
Paul, we Imagine as a person Is far more Interesting than
Larry. Paul had three costumes Larry only the one white-tie
and tails.
Paul's first costume was of the popular henna decor mo
lasses candv and bronze. Then came the more or less conventional
black, a dinner-coat outfit (without the coatl) and a vest with a
zebra back. Finally what we would term the Apache ensemble
a dark-brown Jersey, tight red-brown .pants, but the same tap-
dance shoes in each outfit.
Yes It was a great showl And It Is Interesting and stimulating
to ba able to see two young men, who in all Uklihood, because
they excel in their two specialties, will not only make their
fortunes but attain everlasting fame, not only in this country
but throughout the world. Think of the futures before them.
The moral of which is a time-honored one:
"Whatever you do, do your BESTI"
e
Adler's interpretation of Gershwin's famous "Rhapsody In
Blue" was, as far as your correspondent was concerned, the high
point In the program. Here was a little man, with a little mouth
organ, and he produced an orchestra no less altho we grant
a Mr. Arthur Ferrante at the piano ably assisted and not a
note or a nuance slurred over, the whole thing PERFECTI An
other reason for our enjoyment was the familiarity of the piece,
of course.

By Paul Mallon
Washington, Feb. 27 A gov

met a small,

of senators a

with a surpris

Russian politi
cal administra
te tlaiiee tors had gone
into those
countries (from which even our
officials have been excluded) to
indoctrinate the countries with
communist ways.
They have made remarkable
headway in Bulgaria, Yugo
slavia and Rumania, if not else
where by now. Skilled in their
art, they are also backed by
the power of the Russian army,
and protected by censorship
from the outside world. We
know nothing of what has gone
on there.
These two American authori
ties told the senators these Bal
kan governments, as well as
those of Czechoslovakia and
Hungary, will reflect the as
cendancy of Russia, and the peo
ple will accept Russian domina
tion as coming from their lib
erators. ' Anti-fascist forces ruthlessly
have exterminated all opposi

tries will be useless, they said,
because only one party will be
allowed to vote, or, indeed, will
care to vote.

ADM. Nimitz' choice of Iwo
instead of Formosa for tho
next step after Manila gave
solid threat to the aarnings of
our military leaders that we are
headed toward Tokyo directly,
and not as formerly planned
a step-by-step sidling campaign
through the China coast. It
might bring an end to the Asiatic
war a year or more ahead of
former expectations.
The Volcano, Bon in and
Ryukyu Islands adjacent south
ward of Japan must be seized
even beyond the Iwo venture
to afford land 'bases for our
planes to cover any attack upon
the Jap mainland.
Obviously, now we are pre
paring lor a spring campaign in
that direction. What would
greatly help, also, In this re
spect is a Russian move against
Japan, which would place Si
berian air bases to our use.
Under this new strategy, after
we get to Tokyo, we would have
to chase the bulk of the Jap
land armies over the continent
of Asia, but certainly this can
better be done by first seizing
the source of Jap power and au
thority at home.

CMALL mustard seeds of de
traction of Gen. MacArthur
somehow have been finding
their anonymous, mysterious
way Into the news. These sug-
gest the Japs did not defend
Luzon, and recapture of Manila
was a walkover, the implica
tion being that this was not a
hard-fought or brilliant cam
paign. The Jap fight for Luzon and
Manila was made on Leyte, and
it was a vicious struggle. Listen
to this:
Seventy thousand dead Jap
bodies were picked up and
counted by us on the Leyte bat
tlefields. Fifty to 60,000 more
were killed on land, in the air,
and particularly upon their
naval ships in the desperate bid
they made to cut off our Leyte
landing forces by using the bulk
of their fleet in three striking
moves. About 130,000 Japs were
slain In Leyte resistance to Mac
Arthur, and inestimable numbers
of additional Japs were wound
ed.
True, they did not have much
left for defense of Luzon, and
the bulk of their force shied
away to the northern end of
the island. The heaviest resist
ance has come from that north
ern flank, although notice of it
has been lost In the more spec
tacular entry Into Manila.
MacArthur's capture of Cor-
regidor was in line with the
brilliant plan of the whole
Philippine campaign. The Japs
required weeks to tske it by
storm at considerable loss, Mac-
Arthur air-pounded It daily,
then surprise-captured It by
paratroopers, weeks ahead of
normal expectations.

-Clifton's Enjoyed
To the editor: Since the editor
is now In Los Angeles I have
been reading his editorial cor
respondent with interest as the
vicinity of Los Angeles was my
home for 18 of my 28 years.
In last Thursday's issue he
gives quite an- account of his
visit to Clifton's Cafeteria. When
I was last at Clifton's (about five
years ago), the food was excel
lent and my friends and I en
Joyed the unusual surroundings.
The "Little Chapel" Is a sweet
memory in my mind. It was a
pleasant experience to leave the
busy, noisy streets of Los An
geles and enter the restful, quiet,
little chapel for a moment and
see a lovely scene of the woods
and hear the beautiful song,

But what I want most to write
to you about is the statement:
We have a strong suspicion.
however, that anyone refusing to
pay would find it much harder
to get' out than to get in the
place. I know, personally, of a
case in which a group of boys
18 to 20 years of age went to
Clifton's for dinner. One of the
group was quite a "smarty" and
although the other boys found
their food very good, this
"smarty" made a sarcastic re
mark to a waiter about the steak
he ordered rare and then decid
ed wasn't done enough to suit
him. The waiter did not argue
with him in the least. He simply
stepped up to the cashier and
asked her not to charge this
boy for his meal, and that is
all that was said about it. So,
perhaps you are Judging too
hastily in making such a state
ment as the above.
This is the first letter I have
written to your newspaper, but

ity pass by to defend my favor-

FAWN ON REDS AS
TOWNS OCCUPIED
Moscow, Feb. 27 (U.R) Fear
ful German civilians in towns
occupied by - the Red Army
await what they believe will be
a terrible fate.
Two Pravda correspondents,
Boris Gorbatov and Oleg Mur
ganov, told the story of the
"cringing Germans, dominated
by the haunting fear that the
Russians will' exact retribution
for German excesses." They
protest, the correspondents said,
that they had nothing to do with
the Nazi party.
The town of Landsberg was
cited as an example. Townspeo
ple walked about wearing white
armbands, which they hope will
save them in some mysterious
manner from reprisals.
As the Russian soldiers pass
them on the sidewalks, the Ger
mans halt, bow low, and then
lower their heads as If expect
ing a wauop.
Whenever the Russians enter
a house for inspection, house
wives or the men rush forward
to offer all sorts of unasked for
and useless service.
When the commandants or
dered all Nazis to report for
registration, long line formed
outside . headquarters. Every
party member tried to weasel
out of party affiliation by charg
ing pressure, intimidation, or
personal danger as the reason
for joining.
Their fear was summed up by
a burgher who ran after the
correspondents one m o rn I n g
snouting:
"What are you going to do
with us?"
