Why Does Mayor Ignore Hof f-Brau Case? AFL Asks
NH. Council President Says Celentano ''Not Living
 Up To Duties"

The following letter is se1f-exp1ana tory:
 ssMayor William C. CelentanO, s'City Hall,
 ''New Haven 10, Connecticut. ssMy dear Mayor CelentanO:
 s'Believing, that as Chief Execu- tive of the City of New Haven, you were interested in harmonious re- lations between organized labor and management, the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council wrote you on December l7th, (almost a month ago) calling your attention to the fact that an industrial dispute ex- isted between our Hotel & Restau- rant Employees Union, Local No. 4O4, and MT. Philip Ritter, owner of the Hof-Brau Haus, 39 Church Street.
 ssThis strike, which has now be- come a lockout on the part of the management, has been going on for over ten weeks. As l wrote you almost a month ago, the Union was willing to submit its case to arbitra- ton, provided management would agree to a return to the status quo which existed before the men were forced to suspend work on NOvem- Der II. This offer was SO fair that three prominent New Haven clergy men last week wrote to MT. Ritter, suggesting that good citizenship re- quired that he accept it. These clergymen are Rev. Edward J. Shea, pastor of St. Bernadette's Church ; Rev. Elwyn Chaney, minister of Grace Methodist Church; and Rab- bi Stanley Rabinowitz, of B'Nai Ja- cob Congregation.
 ''It is necessary for us to point out, Mir. Mayor, that you have ig- nOred our letter of December 17th. Maybe you do not owe us an ex. plantation, but we do believe that the people of New Haven should know why you refuse to accept the responsibility of your office in this particular instance. Can it be that you are afraid of offending the powerful New Haven Restaurant Association, which is out to smash the Hotel & Restaurant Employees Union? Would you ignore manage. ment if they asked you to call in the Union, and arrange for arbitra. ton proceedings? I doubt it.
 ''May we ask you once more to live up to your duties as Mayor of New Haven and comply with the re. quest contained in our letter of De. cember l7th?
 ''Sincerely,
 ''VINCENT J. MIG GOVERN.
 President,
 ''New Haven Central Labor
 COunciI.'

Test T-HLi1nit On Checkof

San Francisco-(FP)-A test case of the legal extent of union checkoffs will be heard in federal court here as result of suit filed against the Pacific Greyhound Co, by the Anal gamated Assn. of Street Electric Railway & Motor Coach Employees (AFL).
 The union asked for court order to continue its checkoff as provided under the present contract, which ap- plies to assessments as well as dues.
 A $1 assessment by the union raised $1 zoo for death benefits of a deceased driver. The company refused to pay the money to the widow, contending that under the Taft-Hartley law it could not check off anything except monthly dues.

Permanent Ban On
 Picketing Of Buses

TEXARKANA, Ark.-(FP)-The Taft-Hartley whip was cracked at striking drivers of the Southern Bus Lines Co. when a federal judge per manently banned picketing of the Dixie Motor Coach Corp. terminal here on grounds that it violated ec- ondary boycott provisions of the anti labor laws.
 The drivers, members of an AFL union, have been conducting 9-state strike against the company for eight months in an effort to block union busting, wage-cutting drive. Among the points covered by their far flung picketlines was the Dixie terminal which, they claimed, the Southern lines were using as a "hideout" to evade pickets at its own terminal.

HOUSING ACUTE


 ''This convention will be one of the most important in our history" the statement said. Housing is still in an acute stage, and there is lit- tie evidence that the situation will improve in the near future. Practi- cally none of the residential con- structiOn now under way will bene- fit those who can afford to pay only $40 to $50 in rent per month, and it is these people who need homes more than anyone else. Our conven- ton must give much thought to this problem. Private industry cannot prOfitably build this type of hous- ing, and it is up to our Legislature and to Congress to make available the necessary funds.

WASHINGTON-(FP) = Pres. Truman's former secretary of state, James F. Byrnes appeared before the Interstate Commerce commission last week in the role of attorney.
 Byrnes is employed by the estate of A. l. DuPont to resist an ICC order to reorganize the Florida East Coast railway.

Little on Jazz
And BebOp Music


Bebop, the new phase of the
jazz idiom, has advanced consider
ably in recent years. Introduced
by its two greatest opponents, Dizzy
Gillespie and Charlie "Yardbird"
Parker, it now exerts a tremendous
influence on Jazz and popu-
lar music of today.
Bebop has been praised in glow
ing terms, criticized in vehement
terms. There seems to be no mid
die road of opinion on this new
kind of jazz. The criticism that
Bop is too monotonous, being COM
posed of phrases that are repeated
over and over, is well-founded when
Bop is playd by mediocre musical
ly immature musicians. But men
such as Fats Navarro, Tad Dame
ron, Leo Parker, Miles Davis, Ho-
ward McGhee, Ray Brown and AL
Ian Eager all disciples of the Dir
and the Bird, bring out Bebop at its
best.
Some critics go as far as to say
Bebop contributes to juvenile de-
linquency. True, some of the young
er musicians try to emulate the
Dir in appearance and mannerisms
-beret goatee, thick glasses-and
20 about muttering trite express
ions such as Hey! Daddy-o" but
it scarcely goes further.
One of the shining lights Of
this phase is Leo Parker, sax
boppist. Possessing a big, rich
tone, Parker impresses with his
baritone solos. Here is a rare phe-
nOmenOn-an outstanding bari
tone sax soloist-who may per-
haps, in the near future, be rank
ed on equal terms with the great
Harry Carney.
Bebop is refreshing jazz. It's
provocative phrases stimulate a
thoughtful appreciation. 1t may be
to some at first listening, an in
comprehensive, subtle and complex
phraseology, but Bop requires care
full listening to be truly appreciated.
Scat singing is often associated
with BebOp and in this connec-
ton some fine records have been
made. Gillespie's Oopapada, Ell
la Fitzgeralds great waxing Of
Lady Be Good, and Anita O'Day's
What Is This Thing Called Love?
are discs that should be in the
collection Of every Bop-Iover.
Having had the privilege of see
ing the Diz in person, I marvelled
at the reaction of the crowd to his
music. The crowd that teemed a.
round the bandstand was one of
the most enthusiastic that I had
ever seen. Gillespie's brilliant con-
ception of Growing High was the
highlight.
The Dir and Bird were elected
on Metronome magazines annual
All-Star band, tribute to their
great natural musicianship and an
inspiration to all young aspirants
of bop.
