...Dear Carter: . . . We have a little Indian news lately. Capt. Rains, 7th Infantry, placed a shell on an Indian trail and covered it with a shirt. An Indian came and removed the shirt when the shell exploded and wounded him severely. Capt. Rains then put four shells in a blanket and placed them on another trail. The Indians discovered and resolved to catch him in his own trap. So they collected their warriors to the number of 85 or 90 and surrounded the spot; they then by means of a cord exploded the shell. Down goes Capt. Rains with...
...training methods are both humorless and tireless. Major Harold Doud, who served six months in 1934-35 as an observer with the 7th Infantry Regiment at Kanazawa, found the life exhausting and looked forward to the regiment's first holiday.

Barbirolli's First is somewhat pedestrian, strongly rivaled by Ormandy's excellent Victor album...
...choice of the Shostakovitch Symphony No.6 was a good one with which to round out a well selected group. The quality of the music, unlike the late 7th, is unquestionable. The musical world, after receiving the 5th, was well prepared for this symphony, and it has made a sound impression wherever and whenever it has been performed. Dr. Koussevitsky is one of the leading champions and interpreters of modern Russian music in this country, and last night one might have thought that the Shostakovitch 6th had been dedicated to him. The orchestra was controlled perfectly, and performed like a well...
...officers (six Americans, six Australians). One of them, Lieut. General Robert L. Eichelberger, was revealed as the U.S. field commander in the Papuan campaign. In an outpouring of long-kept secrets, General MacArthur also revealed the identity of his ground forces in the campaign: parts of the 6th and 7th Australian divisions, and of the American 41st (Oregon, Washington, Montana National Guard) and 32nd (from Wisconsin and Michigan...
