Billy Eckstine To
Return To Onyx
Club In New York

NEW YORK - Billy Eckstine, the
"Bronze Balladier with the Golden
Voice, who opens a return engage
ment at the Onyx Club on Sind
Street on Friday night, September 10,
has no intention of returning to the
b~andleading ranks. but will continue
working as a single as a result OF the
tremendous success he has scored in
that category during past few months.
One of the prime factors in Bills
decision to pass up the idea of reor-
ganizing a new band was the acclaim
accorded him in his engagement at
the l25th Street Apollo Theater ear
Iier this month. Critics who caught
Ne show da)Ded yht they had
never heard the singing idol in finer
voice.
1--WE come to realize that you can't
concentrate on both singing and must
cianship," Billy declared. When l was
leading my band, | was constantly
worrying about arrangements, rehear-
sails, the sound Of the band and many
other details; consequently, | couldn't
sing my best with so much response
bility on my mind"
When Billy signed with the MCM
recording company earlier this year,
il was with the understanding that
the contract called for his services
as a b~andleader. The MCM execui-
ives at first baked at the idea IF
Eckstine doing a single, but when his
first two releases on that label devef-
oped into smash hits, THEY add an
about-face and encouraged him to for
get about the band.
Riding high at the present time are
two Eckstine platters on the MCM
label, This Is The Inside Story" pair

and "The Widest Cal In Town" coup
led with ""On The Boulevard of Mem

memory takes back to the campaign of 1914, when
Sam running against my friend Left Erickson. Sam
then had the backing of such radicals Burt Clements
Barclay Craighead, B. X. Wheeler, the Montana Mer-
chants association and other front organizations the
livestock outfits and forth Are these the liberals
that are backing Sam for Senator?
don't get to Helena very often but last time was

sometimes to go to devotions at his lodges Now, said
this man. he is making Marco Polo look like a stayat-

D. {. Heads Approve
Inventory and Sale Of
d-Testing Devices

An inventory Of highway. testing
equipment at the Districts long un-

203 Bryant street NV, was ap-
proved today by the Commissioners
before turning the material over to

hurst estimates that the inventory
includes from $25,000 to $4,000
worth of testing and Office equip
ment and represents roughly two
thirds of the material with which
the laboratory originally was
equipped.
Portable equipment, he said today,
is being retained for field work done
by highway employees.
The laboratory has been a white
elephant since 1884, when Congress
started refusing to appropriate
funds for it's operation. 1t was in
stalled in 1890
Capt. Whitehurst has conducted a
perennial fight since 1884 to resume
using it, but Congress has taken the
position that the city's highway
testing could be just as well done by
the Bureau of Standards and the
Public Roads Administration.
During 1914 and 1945 the labora-
tory was rented to the Bureau of
Standards for wartime work. In
1916 Congress sounded the labora-
tory's death knell by ordering that
its equipment be turned over to
WAA and today's action by the city
heads is in line with that order.
