orally lower economic standard
among musicians.
The AIM has $4,000 members
throughout the country, many of
whom are colored. Segregated To-
Gals are the rule in most large
cities, except New York.
James C. Petrillo, car of the
AIM and president of the Chicago
local, minimizes undesirable effects
of segregated units. In a state
ment last week he said: "In some
jurisdictions colored musicians have
their own locals and in other
jurisdictions they are part and par
eel of the local. It seems that
someone is barking up the wrong
tree, as the setup with reference
to colored and white musicians in
the Federation always has been
open and amicable."
Typical of the opinions of band
leaders is that of Glenn Miller:
"Now when we are fighting Hitler
because he insists on racial preju-
dice, is the time for our country to
show its democratic hand. Keep
ing colored artists out of the same
union as white musicians through
out the nation is definitely form
of bias"
Abe Lyman, in demand for his
"sweet" music, stated: "Sure the
locals should be combined. Look
how successful 8O2 New York;
has been. When a colored local
has to compete against a white 10
cal, there's likely to be scale-cut-
ting and the colored musician in
variably gets the worst of the deal.
It's a hell Of a situation. Thou
sands of colored soldiers are fight
ing battles to save us at home. It's
a rotten unfair situation to segre-
gate the Negro in or out of the
music business"

'Porgy and Bess," Americas first
great musical classic, has entered
it's sixth month at the Majestic
Theatre in New York, and remains
one of Broadway's outstanding hits.
Composed by the late George
Gershwin, and based on the play
"Porgy," by Dubose and Dorothy
Hayward. 'Porgy and Bess" was
produced by Cheryl Crawford with
many of the cast from the original
Theatre Guild production of six
years ago. Todd Duncan, the dis
tinguished Negro actor and singer,
retains his role of the crippled
Porgy, and others who made their
roles famous in the first presenta-
ton and who are still to be heard
are Ruby Ely as the widow Sere-

Part of the tremendous success

Admen See Larger
Negro Market for
After-War Era

New York, June 23.-Industry's
expanded wartime advertising
schedules must include Negro
newspapers if the vital cooperation
of all sectors of the nation is to
be attained, according to conclu-
sions reached by an advertising
and marketing forum sponsored
here this week by the "New York
Amsterdam Star-News." The for
UNI was the first ever held on the
subject of the Negro market and
represented an evaluation of Negro
consumers for manufacturers and
advertisers.
With the rapid indignation of
ever increasing numbers of Ne
groes into defense and allied in
dustries, it was pointed out that
this market of Is million consum-
ers with a potential buying power
of nearly six billion dollars, will be-
come the object of assiduous cul-
tivation in the postwar era.
Stressing the role of advertising
under our present war economy, H.
H. Kynett, partner of Aitkin-Ky-
nett Company, asserted it should
help direct the war effort into
whatever channels may seem de-
sirable; facilitate change-overs in
the nations economy and prepare
consumers for impending restric-
tions. Advertising should also aid
in the introduction of substitutes,
alternatives and new products, and
divert desires into new channels, as
well as maintain the advertisers
contacts with his market when
merchandise is not available, he
added.
John J. Hagen, space buyer for
Lloyd, Chester & Dillingham;,
stated that selling the Negro mar
ket to manufacturers is an educa-
tional job for Negro advertising
stats. He expressed the belief that
not one out of 10 space buyers in
New York City has ever been above
125th street, and that all have in
fantile notions about Negro buy
ing habits.
Arthur Hirose, director of pro-
motion and market research for
the Mccall Corporation, urged all
papers to make analyses of their
markets, and William G. Black,
sales manager of Interstate United
Newspapers, outlined merchandise
ing techniques which have been
used by Negro papers to increase
sales of various products.
