HEART AND HOME: Under

letters that convey devotion from
men in the armed forces, but those
whom they meet may be quite un-
responsive. The stars seem to pre-
sage anxiety and apprehension
among young men in uniform who
feel the effects of uncertainty re-

be philosophical today as they con-
form cheerfully to changes in the
pattern of their lives.
BUSINESS FAIRS: This

who will profit through Govern
ment cooperation. Taxes will con-
tinue to be felt by the general pub

RECEIVED $500

Most interesting illustration is
the current case of Eugene Cox, a
very ,likeable Congressman from
Georgia The Federal Communica-
tons Commission charges that he
received a check for $4,000 from
radio station WALB. Albany, Ca,
after he had used his influence
with the FEC to improve the sta
tions facilities. The Commission
says that Cox later converted this
$4,000 into stock of the station.
All of this was thoroughly inves-
tigated by the Commission and is
a matter of public record. How
ever, unlike some other government
bureaus when they stumble on the
activity of a Congressman, TIL e
FEC did not hush the thing up. 1t
proceeded with a thorough probe.
Furthermore all seven Commits
sioners voted unanimously to send
the matter to the Justice Depart
ment, as violation of the crimi-
nal statute (Title Is, U. S. Code
Sec. 203) prohibiting a member Of
Congress from representing private
clients before government agencies.
1t was two of the Republican
members of the FEC, rather than
the New Dealers, who took the
lead in this. Since then. the Grim
inal Division of the Justice Depart
ment has recommended prosecu-
ton, but nine months have passed
and the Justice Department. as
usual, has failed to move against
a CONGRESSMAN.

After Dark
News and Comment of the Night Clubs
BY the Spectator.
8. Patent once

Inasmuch as there is no conserv-
atory which includes in its curric-
ulum course ON how to lead a
dance band-at least we've never
heard of one-a fairly wide variety
of conducting styles has resulted.
The difference in dance batoneers'
manners of waving the stick is so
great, in fact, that positive infor-
nation or no, it would certainly
seem that institutional instruction
in the art is something no profess
sor would dare suggest now. The
bandleaders have grown too &C
climated to that spirit of individ-
uality peculiar to their branch of
the profession. They face no ira
ditions in conducting form, other
than the unwritten dictum that
they must look unclumsy on the
bandstand and smile with whole
hearted appreciation at the people
on the dance floor, and at and under
the tables.
Some there are who simply do
not warm to the opportunity for
individuality for all colorful that
it is worth. These are the fellows
who never as youths did head
stands on the porch railing to i'm
press the little girl who had just
moved into the neighborhood. The
fellows who moved through life
colorlessly, until finally when they
had got band started the night
club circuit, they didn't know what
to do about it save to dress in
tuxedo and simply stand up there
with the boys apparently just to
keep warm. Most, however, take
the energetic view dictated by the
inner yen of all mankind to be an
exhibitionist. Therefore, we have
the frankie Masterses, trimming
over with rhythm in every joint
of the body, breaking into a piece as
though they were diving off a
springboard. The Richard Himbers
who tremble from head to toe with
every fortissimo and crescendo, and
who, during the less intense selec-
tons, practice a special rocking
motion denoting languor. There are
the Henry Kings, who all but
Sprain their backs leading from the
keyboard. and the Tony Pastors
who sometimes bounce themselves
right off the podium, and the Leo
Reismans who are complete fox
trot replicas of concert hall maestros.
This Leo Reisman. this Toscanini
~ Gala c10tl,iyor
on display at Herb Sachs Del Rio,
is the best example of conductorial
color to have come to town in 10
months of after-dark. But If you
think he goes through his nightly
contortions only for show, suggest
as much to him. He will wither you
with glare, and stifle you in a
blanket of excited verbiage. 1t ap-
pears that his musicians, regardless
of where their eyes may be, follow
his every motion. When Mr.. REFS
man arches his back and extends
his hands claWlike, the boys had
better sight play it schmalzy. And
when Mr.. r. commences to wave
frantlcallv or even to yell at the
height of some voluminous pas
sage, they will find it advisable to
squeeze that last reluctant decibel
from their instruments. Sometimes,
of course, the maestro only shouts
a number like "24!" in the midst
of a piece; but that has signif-
canoe, too. Whatever his particular
purpose in venting such quantities
OF energy, the patron is readily
