College Band In
1st Performance at
State Wiley Game

The AMIN college band, under
the direction of Mrs. Alma l..
Baeza, gave its initial performance
last Saturday at the Wiley-Arkan-
sas State game. The theme of the
half-time show was "As Time
Goes By.
The band marched on the field
attractively attired in black and
gold and Immediately formed a
grandfather's clock. The first hour
shown on the clock was one
o'clock. Strains of Count Basie's
familiar one o'clock jump were
heard. When the chimes announced
that it was three o'clock in the
morning. the band struck up the
old popular waltz tune. On this
number Jesse Bradley, tenor sax
man, staggered out from the
grandstand giving an almost too
realistic imitation of good timer
coming home in the wee hours.
John Pickett, Curtis Louis,
Floyd Newman and George Puc-
kett were members of the saxa-
phone quartet which played Wi
ley's Alma Mater.
When the traditional "A" had
been made the entire college band
played States Alma Mater.
The next performance will be
at the Southern-Arkansas game to
be played in Baton Rouge, La.

Navy Probes Straying
OF Suppressed Photo
found on Cafe Wall
By John A. Giles

The Navy has launched an off,
cial investigation to determine
Just who was responsible for Cir
culation of that spectacular, sup
pressed air photograph of Wash
lngton, which first turned up on
the wall of a cocktail lounge one
block form the White House, ii
was learned today.
Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, Chief
of Naval Operations, ordered Real
Admiral A. R. Mccain, the Naval
Inspector General, to find out how
the photograph, taken from an
altitude of 48,846 feet, became
public property, when the depart
ment felt it improper to release
it on ethical grounds" an official
said.
He said the Navy decided
against release Of the picture be-
cause it would have served to stir
up further controversy over the
Air Forces B-36 at a time when
the House Armed Services Com
mittee was conducting O hearing
on the subject. There have been
reports that the Navy had planned
to introduce the photo as evidence
at the hearing.
The aerial reconnaissance pic
ture was taken by new Navy
camera in the highly publicized
Banshee twin-jet fighter. This is
the plane. some Navy officers say
that would be a match for the
giant B-36 bomber at high alti-
tudes.
1T was mere coincidence that
the new camera combined with
perfect weather to take the pic
ture at a time when the hearing
was taking place." the ofdcia.
said. After long consideration, il
was decided that release of the
photograph at that particular
time would merely have served te
carry the impression that the
Navy was attempting to try te
carry the B-36 controversy further
in the public prints"
He emphasized that the deci-
sion was a Navy decision and
not one of Defense Secretary
Johnson.

in 1928 the NAPE pioneered in the
field of vertical unionism by
broadening its membership base to
include anyone employed in the
post office department. President
Ashby B. Carter of Chicago, now
serving his third term, has spear
headed the Alliance fight for the
eradication of second class citizen
ship. The past few years have
seen many Southern cities employ
their first Negro clerks while
many Northern cities and some
Southern cities have witnessed pro-
motions to supervisory positions,
preferential assignments, and gen
eral upgrading of Negro RMS,
clerk, carrier, motor vehicle, and
custodial employees.
For thirty-six years the Alliance
has struggled for the full meaning
OF American democracy and will
continue to struggle until the last
vestiges of intolerant practices are
eliminated from the greatest coun-
try in the world-the United States
