One person who is not worried by
the PetrillO edict is the Rev.
GLYNN T. SETTLE, originator
and director of the Wings Over
Jordan choir. The reason why the
action will not affect the
of Wings Over Jordan
is quite obvious. AS president Of
the American Federation of Mu-
Petrillo's ruling affects
only musicians of that union and
Wings Over Jordan does not use
accompaniment in any Of
its concert, radio or recording work.
In the past, the choir has recorded
albums for Columbia and King
Record Company.
