Walter Anderson
Reaches Another
Milestone

The most musical of a musical
family reached another milestone
in his young life Tuesday night.
The young man is Walter Ander-
son, head of the music depart
ment at Antioch College in Yellow
Springs, and the mileston was his
playing the musical score Of his
cantat Of the late President
Franklin Roosevelt's sD-Day Pray
er" for Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
in her Greenwich Village apart
ment in New York City. Miss
Esther oldt, Of the p~ersonel de-
partment at Antioch, sang the
cantata while MI. Anderson play
ed it.
Mr.. Anderson had written to
Mrs. Roosevelt in 1916 requesting
a suggestion of something her
husband had written that could be
arranged as a chorale as a mem
orial tothe great president. She
suggested the ".D-Day Prayer"
This is the prayer Roosevelt
broadcast to troops a. they en-
barked on the Normandy invasion.
The cantata will be presented
in a concert later this season. It
has parts for mixed chorus, with
baritone s%oloist, quintet and a full
symphony orchestra.
The youthful composer is the
only Negro to head a department
at a white school in the country.
He was formerly head of music
at Wherefore. His best, known
composition is Variations on a Ne
gro Spiritual, a haunting piece
which has been recorded by Artur
Rodzinski and the Cleveland Sym
phony orchestra.
Antioch is one of the most Ii
beral institutions in the country.
Located in Yellow Springs it is a
school that knows no discrimina-
ton in classroom or dormitory.
Students at Antioch were very
helpful in breaking down discri-
mination in Xenia motion picture
theatres.

The city commission campaign
is simply bristling with inactivity.
It almost seems as if none Of the
candidates care whether they win
or not. Or Perhaps, as if the cam
paign were already planned &C.
cording to a certain prearrange-
ment.
AS has been pointed out several
times by the Daily EXPRESS.
Negroes are going to be hard
put in salvage anything out of
this election. At least locally,
There are two ballots which are
important to Daytonians = the city
commission and the school board,
In neither ballot will there appear
the name of a Negro.
All last spring the EXPRESS
campaigned for the running of a
Negro for a seat in the city com
mission. A poll was held by this
newspaper to determine who was
the "choice of the people," C. J.
McLin turned out to be the over
whelming choice Of the people.
But he informed the EXPRESS

that he did not feel physically
able to stand the rigors o f a
fourth city commission race.
Several others were asked about
their attitude on running, but each
person had an excuse. Consequent
~ no candidate was entered in
the primary.
The same situation obtained in
the school board campaign. There
was just no one interested enough
inthe welfare Of public school
students to run for the school
board. Consequently there will be
no one on the ballot.
The only avenue left to voters
then was a heavy registration

on these pages several days ago,
this was alarmingly light.

Record
Row
BY Betty Miles

Decca, the only one OF the
major record companies that Is
not turning out records at one or
another of the new speeds, IL
about to Jump on the band wagon,
record seers say. Taking the cue
from Victor's June sale, Decca is
offering its albums turned out be-
fore January, 1949, at half price
for the next six weeks. Insiders
claim that, come September.
Decca will produce long playing
1919 rpm. records.
It's believed, too, that Decca
may make its 78 rpm. records
of vinylite instead of shellac, come
fall.
Victor's Red Seal, or classical
records. were the big buy in that
sale. The 40 Crosby albums in
the Decca catalogue, the albums
of show tunes, including okla
homa!" "Bloomer Girl" Song Of
Norway" "One Touch of Venus"
and Lutte Song; charming nov
city albums, such as that by
Ogden Nash, in which witty Mr..
N. reads some of his poems from
The Face Is Familiar" and Reg
inald Gardeners Trains" and the
Songs of Our Times Series" one
of the bright spots in the arid
days of the record ban. are the
plums in the Decca sale. Giant
plums. too. are the English Decca
classical albums.
Not so happy about sales such
as Victor's and Deccas are the
record dealers. many of whom de-
clare such sales do not benefit
them. as the companies claim. The
small dealer cannot afford to sell
these records at this mammoth
discount. it is claimed. One local
dealer refused to lower the price
of his Victor records during the
June sale, and declares that his
business during that month was
never better. Another buyer in a
large store declared that the sale
did not bring the substantial
profits predicted by the companies
due to volume selling, nor did it
bring a rush of customers to the
store. also predicted by the COM
panies. Most benefited by these
sales are dealers capable of buy
ing and selling great quantities
of records.
Incidentally, one local record
buyer declared that Christmas
may decide who will emerge victor
in the three speed record market.
Public preference is apt to be most
clearly displayed at that time,
when sales are at their peak.
Included among recent additions
to Victor's As rpm. pops reper-
toire is a brace Of notable classics.
The records offered are Summit
Ridge Drive" and Special Deliv-
cry Stomp" by Artie Shaw's
Creamery S; Don't Be That
Way" My Melancholy Baby"
"Alexander's Rsgtime Band" and
Tiger Rag" by Benny Goodman;
Don't Get Around Much Any
More" and THE Sidewalks of New
York" by Duke Ellington, and

Orchestra, with Bunny Berrigen.

GOLDEN WINDOWS"
From Mrs. o. L. s., Washington }
For Mrs. r. c., Lorton:
The house on the hill had windows OF
gold:
Each morning I saw them shine;
IN visit the house with windows of gold
So very different from mine
And there, to my great surprise
/ found only glass with worn. white
No panes of gold in the house on the hill
To dazzle my eager eyes.
Then homeward turning at twilight's end
In the sunsets varied hue.
My heart leaped up as turned the bend
And say my house at the valleys end
My windows were golden too!
Now often I think as walk lfe's way
OF those bright windows of old,
And when life's windows seem dull anc
gray
I pause by the side Of the road to pray,
God show me the panes Of gold
And often sigh near the long days end
For the weary way l have come.
Then He shows me glory around the bend
Where the path leads on to my Journeys
