After Dark
Man Around Here Keeps Talking
To Girls Who Sing in Night Clubs

talent naturally. Her father was an
opera singer. Had a magnificent
diaphragm, Dona says.
Jody Miller, the Madrillon's singer,
is the girl who startled a friend not
long ago by telling of mutual ac-
quaintance who had gone downtown
that day to seek a job with alcohol
Alumnus. After thinking it over
for awhile, the friend finally decided
that Jody (a) meant Alcoholics An
onymous, and (b) wasn't too far
wrong, at that
Sue Milroy, the prettiest of the en-
tertainers at Sacha Lucas Coral
Club, is girl whose manner with a
song is fresh and appealing. Despite
her talents, however, she was in a
somber mood the other night. She
brooded long and darkly, then
frightened momentarily. well,

weight, it goes on or comes off even

Mini Baker, the pianist with
Sammy Seymour's orchestra at the
Hotel Roger Smiths Cafe Caprice,
is also a part-time singer who is
fascinated with fight music" She
just heard about it, probably having
lived a more or less sheltered life.
Fight music" in case you never
heard of it, either, is just what the
name implies - the music the Or
chestra plays as a warning to the
management when fisticuffs get un-
der way on the premises. Hugh
Barteman, the bass player, was re-
membering that Sweet Sue" was
the fight music" when he was play
ing several years ago with Paul
Tremaine at the late and unla-

mented Cocoanut Grove. "There
were times" said Hugh, when 1t
seemed as If we didn't play anything
but Sweet Sue all night long. On
the good nights we never played 1t
more than Is or 20 times"
Sammy Seymour recalls the sea-
son he spent in an orchestra on
one of the excursion boats. "Sheik
of Araby" was the fight music" that
band used. There was only one diff
Guilty encountered. The special po-
licemen hired to keep a semblance
of order and quen mutiny soon dis
covered that it wasn't safe to be
around when something came up to
cause "The Sheik'' to be played. Not
being tone deaf, they soon learned
to recognize the tune and fled to the
upper deck whenever they heard it,
to remain in hiding until they heard
"Stardust" again.
The battle Mr.. Seymour remem-
bers most vividly, however, was not
set to music, fight music" or any
other kind. It happened one New
Year Eve at one of those beyond
the-law after hours clubs which dot
the town. A little man going in the
door ahead of Sammy thought he
was nudged too emphatically by a
big man coming out the door. The
little man swung with a bottle,
gashing the big mans head and
face and flooring him. Since the
big man was gendarme, the little
man was Immediately hauled off to
the station house. Since the little
man had influence, he was back at
the spot in 20 minutes, Sammy says,
happily greeting the new year.
What it takes to influence people
into going out to night clubs these
nights is what the current Club
Cairo show, with Patsy Kelly, Barry
Wood and Talia, has. Recognizing
something that good when he sees
it, Proprietor Sam Schanker has
therefore decided the thing to do is
hold over the entire show. Starting
tomorrow night, Miss Kelly will be
clowning her way and Mr.. Wood
singing his way into a third week,
while Talia dances into a fifth.

say the sponsors, docs not restrict
homes to a sameness in outward
appearance or restrict the applica-
ton of the basic principles only to

Instead, sponsors say, differences
in exterior appearance are easily
achieved through placement of the
house on the lot, use of different
types of materials and placement of
garages, breezeways or other struc-
lures.
The basic one-story house is made
up of two 16-foot by 24-foot units

it was possible to design basic types

AFL Opposed To Peacetime |Conscription
Offers Constructive Pro- gram, Including Support
 Of U. IN.

The teEt Of the statement abbroved by the AFL Executi0e Council obbos- ing compulsory military training n beace-time, folo70S:
 The AFL Executive Council, hay ing considered the subjects of univer- sal military training and the extension of selective service since the official termination of hostilities in 1946, in the light of the traditional opposition of the American Federation of Labor to universal military training and con- scription in peace-time, and the future safety and security of our nation and the democratic principles upon which it was founded, reafirms our opposi- ton to universal military training and conscription in time of peace.
 Instead the Executive Council fav- ors comprehensive educational, phy- sical and health program for the youth of the nation.
 We base the foregoing conclusions upon the firm belief and conviction:
 l. That any compulsory system of military training and cOnscrip- ton in peace-time will ultimately lead to a destruction of the princi- pies of voluntarism and consent. upon which our nation is founded.
 2. That it will tend to glorify militarism and military institutions and leadership.
 3. That it will so train the mind of the youth as to give emphasis to war and conflict and resort to force rather than to processes of peace and constructive endeavOrs.
 4. That our democratic institu- tions, such as free trade unions, schools, and other free institutions will be progressively endangered by an increasing dominance of a military mind, philosophy, and practice upon our civil affairs and relationship.

Union Teachers Oppose Strike Votes On Wages

DETROIT (LPA) = Reports of strike polls conducted by American Federation of Teachers-AFL afili- ates in two large cities last week strengthened demands for more fed eral and state funds for education.
 In Buffalo, teachers voted l776 to 853 to strike on Feb. "A unless the state legislature acts on de- mands for a $24OO minimum sal ary scale. While the Buffalo strike vote was taken by the AFT, which claims majority of the teachers in the city's schools their demands were identical with those of virtual ly all teachers in the state.
 New York teachers have been de- manding a public hearing in Albany on their wage demands, despite the setback they have received from Gov Dewey. In his annual budget recom- mendations, Dewey stood firmly by his previous proposals, which do not measure up to the teachers demands
 In Detroit, members of the AFT decided to conduct a strike vote after hearing Detroit AFL President Frank X. Martel state ''It is time to do battle if necessary"
 The Detroit teachers are asking for a $50 a month raise. The Board oi Education is proposing $26.50 month raises in its budget.

On the other hand, we hold that greater emphasis should be given the subject of encouraging, promoting and retaining the leadership of the United States:
 l. In all technical, industrial and cultural developments, the inn portance of which was cearly and fully manifested in the recent world war.
 2. In teaching the youth of our land the constructive arts and pro- cesses of production, distribution and transportation.
 3. In undertaking educational, health, and physical culture pro- grams.
 4. In furthering in every possi- ble way friendly, peaceful and CO., operative relations with all the na- tions and peoples of the world, as contemplated by the United Nations Organization.

 BALL AND CHAIN''
 Ball's bill to outlaw closed shop" contracts was assailed in equally wig orous terms. "This measure strikes at the very heart of the trade union movement" the Council said Tt would wipe out with one stroke of the pen 100 years of progress in the de- velopment of union security"
 A new all-time high in AFL dues paying membership was revealed to the Council by Meany. During the last quarter of l946, AFL rolls hit 7,5O5, ,446, raise of 225, ,OOO from September. Much of the gain was scored in the south.
 A unique action taken by the Coun- cil was the establishment of a retire ment system for more than 100 of its employees at headquarters in Wash ington and in regional offices. Officials and organizers will not be covered.

 Cenerazzo at one time belonged to the AFL Jewelry Workers Union, but led a secession movement back in 1943 and set up his new Independent. Since then, too, he has written many articles in commercial publications critical of the regular trade union movement.
