Both companies present the Rhapsody In Blue" in albums Of two 12-inch records. Columbia's is by Oscar Levant, with the Phila- delphia orchestra under Eugene Ormandy, and Victor's by Jesus Maria Sanroma, with the Boston Pops" orchestra led by Arthur Fiedler. The Levant version has a sentimental edge because of the pianists close association with the late composer, but musically San roma takes no back seat in his in- depreciation, which he has given many times in public. In the same sets, Levant fills out the fourth record side with Gershwin's Pre- ludes Nos. and 3, and the Boston Pops" with a sprightly perform ance of Strike Up The Band"
 Robert Russell Bennett's sym phonic picture" of Gershwin's "Porgy and BeSs" is presented by Columbia through the Pittsburgh Symphony under Fritz Reiner and | by Victor through the Indianapolis Symphony under Fabien Sevitzky, both on three 12-inch records. Se- vitzky is more on the symphonic side; Reiner lets loose with brasher I and more joyous use of his instru- ments, such as the banjo in T Got Plenty of Nuthin,"
 Gershwin's An American in Paris" is offered by Columbia in a sprightly performance by Artur Rodzinski and the New York Phil harmonic Symphony on two 12-inch records.
 The Theater Guilds musical hit, "Carousel," based on Ferenc Mol mars "Liliom," is represented in an album of five 12-inch records by Decca, which includes all the bet 1 ter musical numbers. It is sung by members of the original New York production, with chorus and orchestra under Joseph Littau. The flavor of the real stage produc- ton is admirably captured, aided by occasional fragments of dialogue which heighten the illusion. It is a top-notch recording job. An ac- companying booklet which gives the words of everything sung is a welcome addition to the album.
 Victor provides a smaller-scale sampling of the same show on two 10-inch records, comprising the hit numbers, June Is Bustin' Out All Over" If I Loved You" Whats the Use of Wond'rin'," and You'll Never Walk Alone" The records mark the Victor debut of Nan Mer- riman, mezzo-soprano, who is as- sisted by Thomas L. Thomas, bari tone; Al Goodman and his orches- tra, and chorus. Miss Merriman makes an excellent impression.
 Singles meriting special attention are Wagner's "Lohengrin" Prelude by Arturo Toscanini and the NEG Symphony Orchestra (Victor) i; Chopin Polonaise in A-flat, by Jose

CIVILIANS MAY
NOW GO HOME

WASHINGTON, d. Emanuel
A. Adeva, assistant to the Resi-
dent Commissioner, declared that
it is now possible for civilian Fill
ipinos in this country to return
to the Philippines, after comply
ing with certain rules and regu-
lations First, it is necessary to
have a military permit from the
Office of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff of the U. S. Army and
Navy. Second, a passport must be
secured from the State Depart
ment. After these have been met,
accommodation for boat space
should be applied for, if one in
tends to go home by boat. The
application should be sent to the
War Shipping Administration. If
one plans to travel home by air,
accommodation for plane space
should be arranged with the State
Department.

EFFICIENT AND STRONG
ADMINISTRATION

The newly elected officers will
in my opinion form the most eff
cient administration that ourl
Union has ever had. All of the
major officers have been trained
from the bottom up. All of them
have been common laborers inI
the canneries for many years.
Except Velasco, none of them wasI
ever a foreman. But one thing
they have in common is their rich
experiences in the field of labor
They know the hardships of the
common worker and by virtue oil
this fact they are well versed
with the various problems of theI
cannery workers. Above all, these
men are all honest and sincere
in their work. And | regret to
say that cannot say the same
thing for some of the past Officers
of the union whose financial re-
cords show some shocking irregu
larities which were discovered
only recently by some of the maj
or officers. After my inyestiga-
ton and findings of the tempered
record and corruption | tried TO
press charges against those Off
Gals but l failed because the time
was not ripe yet, due to political
set up. With the past administers
ton it would be impossible for
me to obtain prosecution against
those officials for it is difficult 70
obtain results. With the new ad'
ministration can reassure the
membership without any reason.
able doubt that these officials who
made irregularities in the union
record for their selfish aim will
be dealt with accordingly.
Lastly, l extend my profound
thanks and gratitude to all the
members of Local in general
and to Portland local in particular
for their sacrifices in casting their
votes in support of the victorious
party lineup for a better con
structive program and BETTE

Boys" became popular, | started
to get alarmed. 1t is unfortunate
that some fellows like me who
did not have the patience to wash

bitter to those who spent years

order to acquire an education
which is a thing to be admired

a fellow who spends most of his

run a government, how to i'm

ditions of his fellowmen. | can

that a man who does nothing but
