COP Accuses Democrats

Washington. Aug. 22.-(UP)-The Tome front political wars got under way in earnest today when the Re- publican party charged the admin istratfon with 'fumbling" in recon version and predicted Republican control of congress in the 1946 elec- tions.
 Herbert Brownell, Jr., chairman of the Republican National Commit tee, returned from a cross-country tour with the assertion that the country is tired of the ''incompe- tency, waste and carelessness" of the Democratic party.
 BrowneII's Tour X
 Brownell's ottir was devoted chief iy to the il western states where he conferred with more than 10000 Republican state, county and pre- cinct leaders.
 "As q result of the information gained from the many contacts I en- joyed during the trip" he said, T have reached the conclusion that che Republican party will undoubt- sdly win control of Congress in 1946."
 He said he found considerable dissatisfaction with the manner in which the New Deal has fumbled the ball in the matter of making preparations for quick reconyer- sion from wartime to a peace-nme economy"

 Top honors for audience favor goes to "Sharkey" the sensational performing seal and Pallenberg's performing bears.
 "Sharkey" has a whole bag full of new and delightful tricks cli- maxed by a swim half the length of his special SO foot tank and an aquatic leap, that brings him hurt ling out of the water, up and over pole, suspended five feet above the surface, as neatly as a flying fish. His limitations of an airplane in flight, Hitler in a radio speech and other similar achievements never fail to bring down the house..
 Pallenberg,s performing bears, too, have a routine that is out of the ordinary, one of them climax ing the performance with ride on real motor powered cycle around the huge stage.
 All in all the circus is a real treat and the enjoyment of it is enhanced by the fact that 1t is presented in the open stadium and not under canvas.
 There will be three complete per- formal1ces daily through Saturday at 2:30. ZOO and 9:45. The country fair midway is in operation before and after each performance and there Is carousel and ferris wheel to add an additional remembrance to the kiddies' day at the circus.
 There will be another drum corps contest tonight. between the first and second evening performance with teams competing for cham pionship honors.

He not only published Dick Charles "Along the Navajo Trail" but sold it both as a song and a title to Republic Pictures for 8 Roy Rogers western.
 Here are a couple of tips about the music business from Levy. If you have a ballad type of song that is hit you make your money largely from the sheet music sales. With novelty hit the sheet music sales may be only g fraction of those of a ballad, but how that money rolls in from the sales of records. Leeds Music, for example, has benefited from the sale of some 5O,OO0, 900 records featuring it's songs, but its sheet music sale are well un- der that total.
 There is one number in the Leeds catalogue that is strictly for laughs. Visitors get copy upon leaving the office. Keep Tn Touch With the Office" is the name of 1t and the song is simple a recital of all the Angles of that time-worn brushofi so familiar along Broadway and in Hollywood = Nothing Doing Now But Keep Tn Touch With the Of- flee"

 Controversial Issue
 Soon after Dr. Kusaka joined the Smith college faculty at Northamp- ton two years ago, he became the center of controversy. Some resi- dents contended that the Japanese's presence was unfair ito those who have died" in the war.
 Throughout the controversy, Dr. Kusaka remained mum, even when tomatoes were hurled at a house where he was believed to be guest. He went quietly about his work, which included not only the teach ing of physics but also atomic re- search.
 pr: Kusaka. who speaks perfect English, has declared his opposi- tion to the emperor of his native land. which he left at the age of four.

Bv LACK GAVER

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, Aug. 22-(UP)-When the addicts huddle and fan about the merits of the left hands of var- ious boogie-woogie experts, you never hear a word about Lou Levy. That's because he's not performer but merely the guy who controls about 85 per cent of the published eight the bar type of rhythm.
 Levy Is Leeds Music Corp. in a well tailored suit. And sometimes he's referred to as ''the fourth Ar- drews sister" because he's not only the mentor of the famous rhythm singing trio but the husband of one of them, Maxene.
 You not only look to Leeds for boogie-woogie, but also for practi- cally any new novelty song that gets into your ear. The odds are that If it's crazy enough Levy published 1t.
 New fin Field
 There is, for example, the current menace called Please No Squeeza Da Banana" Before that there swas "One Meat Ball." And almost any of the recent boogie songs you can name. He even puts out a boogie- woogie instruction book for kids.
 As music publishers go Levy is practically tyro. He kicked him- self into the business six and a half years ago out of aggravation at his own chuckle- -headedneSs.
 Because I was managing the An- drews sisters people were always coming to me with novelty rhythm songs" he explained. "Once in a while we'd strike a good one and I'd persuade some publisher to put it on the market where it promptly went places. After I had done this with Flat Foot Floogie' and 'Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen' I suddenly realized I was throwing money away. The publishers were just sit- ting on their hip pockets reaping profits on something I had given them"
 Owns Firm ~
 After that Levy started his own firm. He isn't deaf to good ballad or sweet song either. All or nothing at all'' is his and, he feels it had a lot to do with making Sinatra. He's My Guy" and "Jim'' are a couple of others of this type. And he doesn't Miss Any Angles.

Sitting on The Lid

When an Army officer is retired,
no matter what his rank, and no
matter how long he may have been
retired he is required to submit
for War Department review all ma
terial for publication In any form,
except in such military publica-
tons as are directly under Army
control. Now this rule does not
only apply to his discussion OF mat
tiers which relate to the national
security. no matter how broadly
interpreted, but to the War Depart.
ment, the Army or the foreign or
domestic policy OF the United
States. No retired general, not
even the most top flight, bay utter
personal and private view OF
such a subject as, let US say, peace
time compulsory CONSUMPTION with
out bureaucratic approval. This
applies even after he has left the
Army.
The question then arises in &C
oordance with which provision OF
the Constitution does a retired
Army officer lose the fundamental
right OF citizenship to discuss, de-
bate, or held opinions on the for
eign c. domestic policy OF the Unit
ed STATES? II is true that officers
who do not care about their pen
sions can tell the Bureau OF Public
Relati 1ns OF the War Department
to go to blazes, but most regular
Army officers need that pension
and they have TO shut up no mat
ter what they see going on and
what they believe is to the best int
erests OF their country.
Another question arises here:
What is the domestic policy OF the
United States concerning which the
Army ha5 views that retired Of
hcers may not hold, or II they do
hold then, may not express? The
policy OF the United States is de-
cided by the Congress of the Unit
ed States The domestic policy Of
this country is determined by acts
of Congress. What has the Army
TO do witt II one way or the other?
In fact. the Army does not partici
pate IN the domestic affairs Of the
country at all, 80 Jealous have the
American people been that a mill
tary government might come into
existence here. George Washing
