IDENTIFYING FOUR FAMOUS
VOICES

THE SOUTHERNAIRES, who will
be heard on November 26, 1943, at
Harris High School, have sung to-
gether as a group so splendidly they
are seldom thought of individually.
Behind these four famous voices, how
ever, are four distinctly different per-
sonalities.
Silver toned top tenor, Ray Yeates,
has only recently added his lyric in
terpretations to the group, but with
the ease of true musicianship, he has
slipped admirably into his envied place
in the group. Yeates halls f I 0 m
among farm folk in Hertford County,
N. C. He inherited his fathers mark
ed musical instinct, and at an early
age was taught the Negro spirituals.
Eventually he made his way to en-
trance at the Hampton Institute in
Virginia where he studied voice and
choral work under the noted Negro
composer, R. Nathaniel Dett, and play
ed in the band under the direction of
William o. Tesmond. He has appear
ed with the Dixie Jubilee Singers un-
der the direction of Eva Jessye in mo-
tion pictures and radio. He was the
dock singer in the Theatre Union pro-
duction of "Stevedore" and played in
the motion picture "Jezebel" starring
Miriam Hopkins, as we'll as in the
production of "Porgy and Bess", and
with Paul Robson in "John Henry"
Lowell Peters, second tenor, was
born in Cleveland, Tenn. He was one
of eleven children. His earliest am
bition was to be a lawyer and with
this in mind he went to Knoxville Col
lege. Like Ray Yeates, he was
member of hi college quartet for
four years. On graduating he went
to New York, where he made his pro-
fessonal debut with the Hall John
son Choir. Peters is quiet and re-
served and lets the other members of
the quartet do most of the talking.
His hobbies are reading and the study
of languages.
Jay Stone Toney, baritone, was born
in Columbia, Tennessee, where he at
tended high school and worked as a
window decorator. He sang in local
church choirs, but did no professional
singing until he became member of
THE SOUTHERNAIRES. 1t is Toney
who assumes the responsibility for
taking care of the tremendous fan
mail that the group constantly re-
ceives. The type of singing done by
TINS ensemble seems to prompt many
radio listeners to write letters unbur
denlng their troubles. Tonev makes

these as possible, giving encourage

CdH you name an American Negro
song?
Ask the average man that question
and he'll probably mention "Old Black
Joe" or "Swanee River" but he'll be
wrong.
That is the opinion of THE SOUTH
ERNAIRES, famous colored quartet,
which is scheduled to make an appear
ance at the Harris High School on
November 26, 1913.
These well known tunes are mere
ly popular conceptions of American
Negro melodies" this famed radio
troupe told reporters today. "They
are no more the REAL THING than
chop suey is dish for the Chinese.
IF you want to hear authentic A
merican Negro music you've got to
find the people who worked in the
eOe'oh 4ISIuS, Jic COiH IlelQS ana the
levee in days of Southern slavery,
they said. That's where we find the
songs we sing. We don't get them
from books. We hunt up the old
white haired Negroes in the South
who remember the days of slavery.
Sometimes all we get is a scrap of
melody, single line of the lyric
From another source, we will get a
little more, perhaps from an old Ne
gro nanny. Eventually we piece
together one more song that otherwise
would be forgotten"
The search for these old tunes is
ceaseless: that's one reason THE
SOuTHERNAIRES have nearly 1000
on their list, and are adding more
every month.

|AffiIiation in Second
Day on Witness Stand

George Sylvester Viereck, who has
disclaimed being q member of the
Nazi party, today in District Court
asserted he never had been afilliated
with the German American Bund,
once headed by Fritz Kuhn.
His denial, In answer to Defense
Attorney Leo A. Rover, came as he
returned to the witness stand for the
second day. He Is on trial for viola
tons of the Foreign Agents Registra-
ton Act.
Excerpts from Viereck's weekly re-
ports sent to Munich newspaper in
1889 and 1910 were read to the jury
by Mr.. Rover, and on several occa-
sions Prosecutor George A. McNulty
rose to read additional passages.
Lawmakers Mentioned.
In one report, Viereck was quoted
as suggesting that Representative
Claire Booth Luce. Republican, OF
Connecticut, then repeatedly travel
ing in Europe, would bear watch
ing" At another point, an excerpt
had Viereck quoting Senator Reyn-
olds, Democrat, Of North Carolina,
as saying II don't care what they
do to me so long as I succeed in
keeping America out of war
Several times in his reports, the
reading by Mr.. McNulty showed, :
Viereck suggested German publ
cation Of a white book" to Offset
a British blue book" which charged
Germany, among other things, of
treaty breaking.
William Power Maloney, Govern
ment prosecutor in the first trial
of Viereek, which resulted in re-
Wersal of his conviction by the Su-
preme Court, conferred from time
to time with Prosecutor McNulty.
At one point Mr.. Rover remarked:
Il will just sit here and wait until
you have finished"
Mr.. McNulty and Special Prose-
cutor ALBEIT E. Aren't are prosecut-
ing the case for the Government.
Hoped to Elude British Censor.
Vlereck, on the stand yesterday
said he sent weekly reports on the
American political scene to several
European destinations, including Dr.
Hans Dieckhoff of the German For
eign Office, in order that at least one
of them would slip by British censors
and reach their ultimate destination
DIR. Gieseiher Wirsing, editor of
Munich newspaper which Viereck
listed with the State Department.
The Government contends that
the reports actually were prepared
for the German Foreign Office and
that Viereck kept this fact con-
cealed when he registered with the
State Department. Copies of the
reports were also sent to addresses
in Bern, Lisbon and Holland.
Each report was headed with the
initials &C. K" which the defend
ant said were the initials of the
Munich editor. Asked by Mr.. Rover
what use was made OF the reports,
Viereck said some OF them we're
published and others used as back
ground for preparation of editorials,
Turning to Viereck's interview
with Hitler in 1888, Mr.. Rover asked:
Did you receive any employment
from Hitler at that time?"
NO" Viereck replied.
Did you ask him for job?" the
defendant was asked.
Certainly not"

SUNAPEE. N. H.. July 13.-The
Rev. Fletcher D. Parker, Hartford

ticut OPA and had his ration
books suspended for three months.
announced last night that he would
not appeal his test case" either to
the OPA or to the Federal Court.
Appeals to higher branches Of the
OPA would be useless, he declared
in statement which termed the
OPA "a sort of Alice in Wonder,
land organization where heads come
of and evidence is heard later"
There is no value in an appeal
within such an organization. de-
termined to sustain its authority
regardless of the facts
AS TO his decision not to appeal
to the Federal Court. Mr.. Parker
said: ITO upset the whole rationing
program by a decision declaring
it unconstitutional would be a, big
problem to put up to any court
in time of war. The result, If
achieved, would not be good"
The Emmanuel Congregational
Church pastor said he looked to
congressional action as an appeal.
Mr.. Parker's two A books and a
c book were suspended for three
months by Hartford hearing OFF,
Ger after he persisted in driving a
second car to his Sunapee home "to
cultivate Victory garden" de-
spite OPA warnings that it would

To Back Child Doy-Core Funds

the 5000, 100000 appropriation, ac-
tually supported 1t. Our policy has
been consistently that State and
local committees seeking funds
should include leaders Of the vel
fare, education, health, manage
ment, labor and civic groups. Those
committees should initiate their own
projects and maintain them on local
levels"
Mr.. Taft, son of the late Presi-
dent william Howard Taft and
brother of Senator Taft, said he is
recommending to the War Produc-
ton Board that priorities for new
construction be not granted to the
Kaiser Shipbuilding Co. in Port
land, Greg. The Kaiser company,
through funds allocated by the
Maritime Commission, has estab-
lished three child day-care projects,
each caring for 500 children.
I'VE see no necessity for that prof.
ect when the surrounding commune
ties are now taking care Of $500
children and have a capacity for
$1,000" Mr.. Taft stated. "Applica-
lions that are pending viii seek Fed
eral grants for the day care Of APP
proximately 1,000, 900 children OF war
workers by the end of 1913. We
feel that the $40 100000 we recon-
mended, and which the Senate
passed, can take care of the cost
of providing this needed service for
about 100000 children. The locali-
ties, by paying half. could provide
for another 100000"
Cites Brothers Support.
Mr.. Taft said he was amused by
published reports that his brother
and he were on opposite sides in
attempting to secure this appropria-
ton.
Actually, the bill was put through
the Senate by Senators Thomas,
Hayden. Taft and La Toilette, and
think Senator Taft made the long
est speech in support of it" Mr.. Taft
said.

When members Of Congress return
from the recess. Charles p. Taft, d.
rector of the community war services
Of the Federal Security Agency, will
seek House support Of bill which
passed the Senate, providing funds
for day-care Of children in con-
gested areas.
Grants-in-aid should be made to
the States. with localities paying
part of the cost, Mr.. Taft MAIN
tains. In that way, he says, States
will retain control of their own pro-
grams while conforming to Federal
standards.
One of the questions to be decided
before an appropriation is obtained
is whether the program is to be
handled by the Federal Works
Agency or another agency. Mr.. Taft
in his testimony before Senate
committee, said, 1--WE believe that the
supervision of services and grants to
the States should be through the
regular service agencies, in those
fields in the Government, rather
than through construction agency.
Denies He's New Dealer.
I'VE would submit that the Fed
eral Works Agency is no more an
emergency agency than the Federal
Security Agency. 1t would seem to
make sense that if you are going to
provide an emergency program for
services, you should, nevertheless,
present 1t through the agency that
deals with that type Of service in its
regular program, whatever 1t may
be-"
Mr.. Taft supported before the
Senate Committee on Buildings and
Grounds bill to appropriate $780,
900 900 for expansion of community
facilities in key employment zones,
under the Lanham Act Some of this
money would be spent for school
buildings and salaries of teachers,
but control would rest in the States
which put up matching funds, he
said.
AN article stating that we are
attempting to secure control of the
teachers of the Naion, because of
these grants-in-aid, was wholly err
roneous," Mr.. Taft said. II am no
New Dealer, and any effort to pic
ture me as such is ridiculous. l am

tons of public welfare.
The fact is that school and edu-
cation leaders, far from opposing

Senate passed Senate bill No. 1l3d
allocating funds for community IA
cilities on June 80, and on JQly /
when the measure reached the House
Committee on Education, Congress-
had decided to recess. Y
On the recovering of Congress,
Mr.. Taft and others interested in
the expansion Of community fa&ili-
ties will urge favorable House acHon
on the Senate bill.
The Once Of Education and the
Children's Bureau deal primarily
with these matters, Mr.. Taft sad,
adding emphaticaily that his views
do not contemplate the Federal CIV
eminent taking over educational
functions exercised by the Staes
and other political subdivisions.
