This means that the new inter-
probation of Black and Tan is some
thing Duke could not have recorded
10 years ago. The old Victor
waxing was taken at a faster tenn
DO. Ellington now uses the same
fundamental tune over two comp
leto sides in a slower mood and en-
ballished with ultra-modern rhyth-
mic patterns. Each soloist acquits
himself well; the ensemble playing
is magnificent; and although Coot-
ic Williams, good as he is, can not
touch Miley, his moaning horn is
grand. The numbers are particul-
arly interesting to anybody with
the old Victor release, but wen
without it the discs belong in the
musical library of everybody in
terested in modern music, whether
swing or standard.

with STEPPING INTO SWING

But the Woodside selection is one

FIRM IS UPHELD
ON INCINERATOR

ARLINGTON, Va, Jan. 30.
Indictment Of Buckingham Com.
munitieS, Inc, on a charge OF
permitting "Strong and noxious
odors" to emanate from its in.
cinerator, was quashed today by
Judge william P. Woolls in cor,
poration court.
The action was taken after op-
orators of the low-coSt housing
enterprise filed a motion to quaSh
on the ground the incinerator was
located on private property, and
consequently did not meet the
legal requirements Of a public
nuisance.
The indictment had been re
turned by a special grand jury in
October, after as residents Of the
neighborhood petitioned a court
ban on the incinerator.
Five county officials-County

Death May Decide
Famed Case of
Child Bride

CHICAGO, Jan. 80 Q.N.S).
AS authorities today debated on
what should become Of 12-year-old
Jennie Renello Rota and her baby,
death still stood by, waiting for a
chance to settle the problem in it's
own way.
Both the child wife and her in
fant daughter remained in a crit
ical condition at the Loretto Hos,
pital, but each hour that passed
found them stronger and with a
better chance of surviving.
Apparently dead when born
Saturday, the 4-pound, 11-ounce
baby was revived by injections of
a heart stimulant and use Of a
tracha catheter into its lungs
to permit breathing. It has since
been kept in an incubator.
BAN RELAXED
Outside the door Of the room
where Jennie continued to fight
for breath under an oxygen tent,
paced the 24-year-old husband,
Frank Rota, with whom she eloped
last summer.
AS soon as the marriage became
known, the couple were separated
by the juvenile authorities. Rota
was ordered to remain away from
his wife until she became Of age
but the rule was relaxed when
their child was born.
WANTS HOME
Both hoped it would be the
means of bringing them back to
gether. In one Of her first con
Scious moments, the girl whiSr
pered:
"Can we have our own home
now? Will the judge let me
have Frank?"
Rota, who met and wooed Jen.
ME when she was in the seventh
grade and he was a roomer in the
Renello home, was joined by the
girls parents in wishing that the
ban would now be lifted.
''It'S foolish for her to go back
to school, as the court told her
to-" said Frank. "She's already
had more education than I had.
I only went through sixth
grade"

PARLEY OPENS
Miami Convention to
Study Labor Peace

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 80 GN.SO.
With their battle against John L.
Lewis CIO again holding the spot
light of their deliberations, the
American Federation of Labor
executive council convened in
Miami today for one of the most
important meetings since the rift
in labor ranks first appeared.
An intensive organization drive,
entailing the expenditure OF at
least $1,D00,0O0, in an effort to
wean away members from the
CIO unions, is expected to be
launched.
But even as the executive coun-
eli considers its future tactics
against the CIO, it also will con-
slider the perennial question Of a
possible peace in the ranks Of or
ganized albor.
Two appeals for peace are be-
fore the council-one from Presi
dent Roosevelt and the other from
Daniei j. Tobin, president of the
powerful Teamsters Union, largest
unit in the AFL.
President William Green, of the
AFI,, had little to say regarding
the peace prospects, however,
when he arrived in Miami yester-
day He denied he had received
any direct overtures for peace, but
added the "state of mind" on the
other side is better for peace now
than a year ago.
He apparently referred to the
bitter strife that has occurred

New Rates Rule Mean
Saving Of $l4l,503

Residential consumers Of elec-
tricity here appeared slated today
for a $141,503 share Of total rate
reduction amounting to almost
$4,000 as the Potomac Electric
Power Company submitted a new
rate schedule in line with orders
Of the Public Utilities Commission.
Although the PUG has not taken
formal action, it was emphasized
in official quarters the ALLEGATION
to small consumers" was immi-
nent, since the PUG had ordered
such proposal.
The reduction becomes effective
February 1.
The balance of the reduction,
amounting to $252 ,483, will be dis
tributed to users Of commercial
schedule "E."
THE ORIGINAL OFFER
At a hearing last week the COM
pany offered to distribute the rate
cuts virtually entirely among COM
mercial users.
Thereupon, the PUG ordered the
electric company to determine
what proportion of total revenues
was contributed by residential con-
Sumers. The findings of the COM
pany showed 40 per cent Of the
total was contributed by home
owners.
The PUG is expected to issue its
formal order on the reduction
within a few days.
Last year public hearings on the
local rates of the power company
resulted in reduction Of approx
mately $4,000, the greater por-
ton Of which benefited CONNER
cial consumers.
THE NEW RATES
Under the schedule filed today,
which unless unexpected develop
ments occur, will be incorporated
IL the PUG order, the residential
schedule "a" would be 39 cents
per killowatt hour for the first As
K. W. h., per month, IL cents per
k. W. h. for the next 80 K. W. h.,
and lis cents per k. W. h. for all
consun -9tion over 1875 k. W. h. The
minimum charge would remain at
IS cents per month.
Since last years hearing, resi-
Dental consumers have been pay
ing 3.9 cents per K. W. h. for the
first so k. W. h. of monthly con-
sumption, 1.8 cents per k. W. h. for

Fair in Pinnine Cobra
Hold Specialist

Manic Singh and his famed cobra
hold today were just a couple of
Humpty Dumptys on the Bowser
physical education circuit as a re-
suit of the fall they suffered last
night at Griffith Stadium in a
match with Ernie Dusek. And since
all the kings horses and men ap-
pear to be going to war, it's going
to be long time before Humpty
Singh gets back up again.
This opinion did not obtain in
some well-informed mat cliques,
where the customers clung to the
belief that Uncle Joe Turner would
do better than the royal forces in
elevating Singh to his former high
estate. They point to Dusek's ac-
tions last night as requiring q re-
turn match, and predicted that the
pair would be waltzing together
again within two weeks.
Dusek, 1t was reported reliably
by plain-clothes man from No.
2 precinct, hid behind Referee Casey
Berger and pounced on Singh as he
took his cobra out for an airing.
Since pouncing on strangers from
ambush strictly is forbidden in No.
2 precinct, the fly cop was all for
making a pinch, but had to leave
at the moment, and when he re-
turned the match was over. The
crime was consummated in 18
minutes.
Some 1000 fans saw another
Dusek, Rudy, defeat Abe Tourist
in the semi-final. which lasted %
minutes. Joe Cox, another ole
favorite, made a successful come
back at the expense of Stan Pinto,
who retired at the end of 17h
minutes nursing an injured back.

STOCKTON, Calf, Sept. 1.-Amos
Alonzo stagg, celebrating his 50th
year as a football coach this fall,
never even intended going to college,
let alone becoming a gridiron
mentor.
Fate ruled otherwise. So today
the 77-year-old Stagg not only en-
joys distinction as dean Of American
football coaches, but is first in his
tory to coach the sport continuously
a half century. This is his seventh
season at the College Of the Pacific
after Al years at Chicago and two
at Springfield (Mass) College.
A Diamond Immortal, Too.
Stagg completed the full course at
Orange IN. j. High School in three
years. When he decided to attend
Yale, he learned he lacked necessary
credits to enter the university. A
six-month course at Phillips Exeter
Academy provided the requirements.
He never had played football-it
wasn't high school sport at Orange.
He was star pitcher of the schools
baseball team, however, and in this
branch of athletics, as well as foot
ball, is one of Yale's immortals.
Actually, Stagg achieved more
fame in baseball than in football at
college. He pitched on five Yale
championship teams from 1886
through 1890. Rules were more
flexible in those days He played
his last two years as a graduate
student.
A chap weighing 149 pounds and
below average height, he was the
mighty atom" of mis- college days.
He batted in No. 2 position. During
the 1887 season he hit for AN aver
age of AT in II games. Against
Harvard he struck out 20 batters.
His pitching specialties were a
drop, outdrop, Jump" from over
hand delivery and Jump" from
side-arm delivery. Major league
teams thought enough of his ability
to offer him a professional career
