It looked like kiddles night,
Thursday, in the Embassy Room.
It was Xavier Cugat's opening and
we've got to hand it to the kids.
They looked as wide awake and
eager for more when the curfeW hour
rolled around as when they flrst
ordered their spinach.
Pigtails and bobby socks alike
shamed their parents, big sisters,
even big strong lieutenants, when 1t
came to surviving rib japblng, elbow
poking and generally keeping up
appearances on the dance floor.
When Cugat stuck in waltz or
two they actually looked diSap-
pointed. The Spectator and less
harder souls, however, were thank
full for a chance to revive.
During the course of the evening
we counted no less than three of
mothers little darlings who &C
costed Mr.. Cugat with paper and
pencil in hand. No telling how
many more we mis- 5ed once the
rumba avalanche got underway.
Cugat bowed graciously and signed
the autograph books With the air of
some one who had been doing just
that before these kids were born.
Indeed, he had.
Cugat. you may remember, was
discovered by the famous Enrico
Caruso. The great tenor was so
impressed with the young concert
violiniSt that he induced Cugat. TO
come to the United States and tour
the country with him in joint re-
citalS.
How do we know this? We were
sitting next to a well-informed child
at the Statler last Thursday.

Something neW-the Del Marlos
insure perfect timing by doing their
breathlesS spins to hand-picked re-
cordingS of the classics. Wonder
why no one ever thought of this
before? The orchestra loved it. All
the musicians have to do is sit and
applaud with the patrons while the
dancers perform to music through
courtesy of a recorded hooH-up.
Luckily, the Del Marlos had a
sneaking suspicion that every body
was pretty tired of that same old
rumba waltz, fox trot exhibition.
Their approach to the routine spin
is different. The Del MarloS have
the grace and speed of something
more mechanical than human.
They match dynamics in orchestra

lcontest to name the instrument was
just sheer stupidity. Noel operates
on the theory that an instrument
plays just as we'll named or un-
named and he should know his

do.
Noel calls the act creating music
out of ppthing-to which we are in
clined to disagree. Imagine calling

POLITICAL PARADE
BY George Rothwell Brown

IN THE early days of the
L Roosevelt New Deal the boast
was made that the era of pri-
vate capital had come to an end.
II was true!
One from whom the early
New Deal drew much of its in
spiration, Mr.. Harold j. Laski,
now announces that public own
ership of the bank of England is
the key 10 the naturalization
program which will go into ef-
feet in England.
The Socialist government in
London will seize the vital
power Of control of credit. Con-
trolling this, it will be able to
control all.
The lack Of wisdom Of our
Congress, in being in such a
sweat 10 enact the Breton
Woods agreement into law, is
now apparent.
II is regarded as unlikely that
Britain viii ratify Breton
Woods until further. negotia-
tions have been opened in
Washington. and further agree
ments reached.
l asked r. John Lee Coulter,
the distinguished economist,
what the effect would be upon
Breton Woods, as a result Of
the proposed naturalization of
the Bank of England.
"The next move, l suppose"
he replied, "WiIl be an agree
ment between the governments
of Great Britain and the United
States 10 determine the eX-
change ratio between the dollar
and the pound sterling.
This will pretty nearly have
10 he done before Britain ap-
proves the Breton Woods plan.
"Under the naturalization of
the Bank Of England the British
government will pass on all
foreign loans and investments.
In this connection the rumor
that Mr.. Laski is to become the
new British ambassador i'm
Washington il most interesting
and significant.
The gentleman who has re-
vcalCd the natiO liza ton
scheme would thus he selected
to conduct the necessary nego-
tiations with President Truman
and secretaries Byrnes and Vim
son, for the establishment of a
basis of stabiliZation.
Presumably, also, the gov
ernment controlled Bank OF
England is going TO take over
the credit system and all phases
of the sterling bloc, not only
throughout the British empire,
but wherever British control -
extended by agreement. N-
with the naturalization Of
the Bank of England, Britain
will be in good bargaining
position to get a favorable ratio
between the pound sterling and
the dollar.
Under this situation in the
Bank of England favorable
ratio will become more essential
to Britain than loans"
