CASE BESTIRS
SOUTHERN WHITE UNI.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 80 (C--The
decision of the u. S. Supreme
Court in the Gaines case last
December has kept presidents and
trustees of the State universities
in the deep South in a other,
ever since that time. Edwin
Camp, writing in the New York
Times, reports that they are still
engaged in a serious struggle
with their problem. He reveals
that "three Negroes who sought
to matriculate at the University
of Georgia" while in Tennessee
demand admission for post grad
uate work, two into the law
school of the State University,
Decision on the applications is
being delayed while the commit
tee, headed by Harmon w. Cald-
well, president of the University
Of Georgia, prepared a report to

sity Conference" Mr. Camp
quotes President Caldwell as say
ing that he did not think it
feasible" to admit Negroes to
Southern institutions Gust now"
and proposed as a practical solu-
tion the setting up of regional
universities to which all the
States embraced would contribute
funds. If the Supreme Court
does not approve of that plan,
two other possible solutions are
available, said Mr.. Caldwell:
al, Expansio nof Negro State
Colleges to provide for adequate
instructions in law, medicine,
ministry, social work and such
other subjects.
"(2) Financial aid to privately
owned Negro colleges to accom-
plish the same purpose"

not too successfully, with a new
technique. These sides might do
credit to a lesser ivory-plunker,
but they are not consistently
worthy of an artist of Miss Will
liams' ability.
Coleman Hawkins also falls
down in his latest efforts with
Lionel Hampton and an all-star
band on Victor's ONE SWEET
LETTER FROM YOU. His tenor
sax sounds rough and his ideas
second-rate. There are a dozen
tenormen who could "carve" the
great Hawk on this. But the rest
of the side and of the companion
EARLY SESSION HOP, are
good enough. Benny Goodman's
Columbia version of "0ne Sweet
Letter" is far superior, with
saxophone choir and rhythm at
their relaxed best behind Benny's
rousing clarinet, and of course
Louise Tobin turns in a much
better vocal than Hampton on
this waxing. But I don't care at
all for CATTERBRAIN, the
Goodman doubling.
Jimmie Lunceford has a new
performance on Vocation of his
famous WHITE HEAT, and it is
really great. While in the killer
ollie. style al breakneck speed,
evesy instrument blends perfectly
and at no time does the piece
u away from the players. The
other side is YOU CAN FOOL
SOME OF THE PEOPLE, like
wise well done. If you like your
drums heard instead of felt, bend
an a to Joe Daniels SOLITUDE
on Decca. This English sand
turns in one of its best jobs on
this. Coupled is BLUE RHYTHM
OF THE BLUES, not nearly so
successful. On the sentimental
side il Erskine Hawkins RE-
HEARSAL IN LOVE which is
fine for that type of music. But
deliver me from the loud and
boring SATAN DOES THE
RHUMBA on the other side of
this Bluebird.
You know in advance that any
thing written by Slim Gailiard
will have crazy words. So be pre-
pared for two sides of vocal nut
tiness on A-WELL-A-TAKE-UM
Aloe and CHICKEN RHYTHM

Floogee boys. l like the good,
jumpy rhythm dished out and the
disc ought to go big among jit-
terbugs. One of the loveliest
parting of the season is by Glenn
Miller on Bluebird. His BLESS

VEN blends rhythm and melody
in perfect proportions. The Ray
mond Scott Quintet, specialists
in descriptive jazz, offer NEW

HOUSE and THE GIRL WITH

Columbia. This is the foremost
Scott double in many moons with
lots of drive, power and humor-

ON BALLIN' THE JACK, AL
Nicholas, plays the best clarinet
he has waxed on the special Blue
bird series of New Orleans jazz
by Jelly Roll Morton. But both
this and the companion, DON'T
l YOU LEAVE ME HERE, suffer
from the absence of Sidney
Bechet. Another double bullseye
for Harry James is scored with
MY BUDDY and WILLOW
WEEP FOR ME- on Columbia.
The James trumpet is in good
taste and flashy, while the whole
band is solid. Decca presents a
new hot unit of violin, clarinet,
guitar and bass in the All Duffy
Four swinging two Italian tunes,
LA SPAGNOLA and FUNICULI

musicians abroad in the land but
their enthusiasm and novelty

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-06

A New Haven Register survey of State of Connecticut payrolls indicates that in the past ten years, good part of it the depresison era, has seen a rise in the num- Der of employees working for the state. In fact, the increase is good 40 percent, which is certainly considerable. This nat urally has brought about an accompany ing rise in the state payroll. Back in 1928 the monthly payroll was $420,000. Today it is well over $1,OOO,OOO It can easily be seen, therefore, that operation of our state government is big business and it must be treated as such. There were over 10000 employees at one time in 1888 and we don't suppose that the figure is far from that now, although early in the Baldwin regime there was some talk about cutting down on state employees. We presume it could be argued all night and day that the payroll is too large and should be cut. You can't make any such claim, unless accompanying it by an explana- tion as to where and why.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-06
A Thought for Today
Forest Fires

Weather conditions are ideal right now for a vast amount of destruction through out the state. Here in Waterbury we should do everything to prevent the out break and the spread of brush and forest fires. Nature has conspired, as she so often does, to make the countryside highly inflammable High winds and less precipitation than normal, plus the fact that the season is slow and trees are not budding as early as formerly, make con ditionS just right for the spread of small fires into big and dangerous ones. There have been quite a few around the city; property owners should do everything to avert additional ones.
 There are many things that can be done to prevent the spread of brush tires. One of them is naturally vigilance on the part of the person responsible for the blaze Precautions should always be taken beforehand such as having on hand a supply of water if possible and certainly the implements that prove so handy when fire must be quickly uuelled. A broom is always of much as sistance, so is a rake. Of course, the first thing to do is to secure permission to burn brush or grass in the open. There's law demanding obtaining of such per mission from local fire WardenS.
 Too many people burn up rubbish or try to burn off dry grass without taking into consideration existing conditions. The wind may be blowing gale. There may be nothing done about preventing the fire from moving off the property, intended to be cleaned, into somebody's front yard or up and over their garage. The man who kindleS an outdoor fire aS- sumes many responsibilities. They do not end until the fire has been extinguished. We urge everyone in Waterbury to assist in preventing destruction in our wood- lands through careless use of fire.
