Mark Warnow, conductor at CHS,
smashed the radio color ban by
using Benny Garter recently for ar
rangements. And Benny also re.
corded as an alto soloist on a re-
cent Warnow record date. wa vaow's
working with Garter marks the end
Of the racial discrimination in the
network studios, for before Marx
took on the great eolored ace, Me-
groes were not allowed in the stu
dos, for any reason.
Mr.. Warnow pointed out to his
fellow workers who were puzzled
over the idea of Carter in the stu
dios, that they were missing a great
deal Of talent which was mostly
in the colored race. He said that
colored people had a natural tinec
for rhythm, arranging and Just
playing their instrument. It is high
time the studios woke up to these
facts.
Now all studios will take War
now as a model and hire the best
colored aces they can lay hands
on before Warnow takes them.
CHS is proud of Carter and Carter
is proud that he was the one to
break the bonds.

The first thing which rubbed
them the wrong way was the fact
that the show, sponsored by USO,
was held at a theatre in the white
section of the post, about a mile
from the Negro sector. No Negroes
are allowed to attend the white
USO shows that come to the post
and must content themselves by
attending movies for their main rec
reation. Then the announcements
Of the show included the statement
that "a special section Of the the
atre was being reserved for Ne
gro troops"
Over 1,ooe colored soldiers resolv-
ed to ignore the show because Of
the determinations and segrega-
lions to be practiced, holding that
a Negro show should at least be
given in the Negro section SO that
colored troops would have z chance
to attend without being segregated.
A protest has heen sent to the
morale division of the war depart
ment, and several white officers
have agreed that the incident should
be investigated.

PRESERVE YOUR WAX

Now that the War Production
board has ordered q 70 percent
cut in the manufacture of phone
graph records, just as sales reach
ed an all-time high, owners of
record players will do well to con-
slider taking better care of those
platters already in their possession.
Keep them in their paper jackets
or in albums since exposure to
dust causes a lisc to deteriorate
rapidly; buy only the best needles
and be sure they are changed FREE
quently for needles are compare
lively inexpensive and will ruin a
record if they are used beyond the
life listed by the manufacturer.
More care should be exercised in
handling and storing to reduce
breakage for it will be extremely
difficult to replace platters as long
as the WPB order is in effect.
Should a disc be broken, dorl't
throw 1t into the garbage can. The
material may be reclaimed for
manufacturing new records. Your
dealer will probably be able to re-
turn the pieces to the producer.
Ask him.
There's no denying this restric-
ton is going to affect Negro must
clans, more Of whom are recording
today than ever before. Denied
radio time, most have had to depend
on the juke box and home phoro-
graph for buildups that would mean
heavy sugar in personal appear
ances. Since there will be fewer
waxings, probably only those with
established regulations win get q
chance thus shutting the door to
newcomers. However, the WIPE order
has one distinct advantage; it is
unlikely the. companies will waste
time and material producing a lot
of junk as has been all too preva-
lent.
