Show Silences Japanese Guns By Playing Sweet Music CHUNGKING. "Music hath power pow-er to soothe the savage breast," the 1 Chinese learned in the recent battle for Myitkyina. A public address system was used to broadcast music and news to Japanese Jap-anese troops, who generally held their fire while the broadcasts were 1 on. One news report, however, appar- ently contained something obnox-! obnox-! ious to the enemy, for they imme- diately replied with a heavy artillery artil-lery barrage. A captain in the front : lines grabbed a field phone and ' i called back for a change to musical records. '' As the sweet strains of music ' again drifted over the lines the Jap-' Jap-' anese barrage was silenced. |
