Operators of music machines will find
a tremendo us signifi cance in the fact that
both of Irvin g Berli n's new son gs were
wri tten a t th e reques t of government offi-
cia ls. " Arms For th e Love of Am erica,"
a tribute to the " man behind the man
behind th e gun" was th e result of a re·
ques t by Major General Charles M. Wes-
son , Chie f of Ordin a nce, U. S. Army. Sec·
retary of th e Treasury Morgenthau asked
th at "An y Bonds Today" be composed,
prese nti ng in rhythmic mann er the r easons
why people should buy gove rnm ent bonds.
Barry Wood introduced " Arms For the
Love of America" to th e public in the
Army Band Auditori um of th e Army War
College in Was hin gton over CBS a nd NBC
networks, fea turin g an Arsenal Day cele-
bration of the Or din ance Depa rtment in

In his RCA Vi cto r recor din g, he was
supported by th e Lyn Murray chorus and

As a result of his success with both
