about getting 'em busted too.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (UP)-
A magician never knows when
he reaches into his silk topper
whether he's going to pull out a
rabbit or a fuzzed hat band.
At least that's the way Harry
Baker, one of the best in the
business, looks at it.
Harry, a little guy, is a big
man in the Washington chapter
of the Society of American Ma
gicians. Tomorrow night he and
mis- lads will put on a show for
young and old at the National
Press club. Mr.. Truman regrets
he can't be on hand. (He's vaca-
tioning at Key West, Fla.)
Anyhow, Harry Baker, that
is) thinks that if there are mis-
cues tomorrow night the show
will be just as good as if it were
perfect.
People love to see an enter
tainer make mistakes" he said.
The old. timer himself has had
his troubles. A man of magic can
get in trouble in a number of
ways-and Harry has felt the
sting of the giggles and bronx
cheer. rs
There was the time when he
was appearing here at the Stat
Ter hotel in front of a group of
critical college professors. There
was a strike on among the wait
ers, he recalls, and the walters
were lounging in the performers
dressing room.
81 neglected to check all of
my props" he said.

When the Professor" pulled
what he thought was going to be
his pet rabbit out of a hat, all
he got was a handful of fur and

Eddie Vinson To Paly All Instruments!

Eddie Vinson has hopes of be- coming Americas most versatile band leading instrumentalists." With his eyes set on the goal of mastering the techniques of every instrument in his band, MT. Clean head this week began taking les sons on the guitar-his first string Instrument.
 Many of his greatest admirers are unaware of the fact that prior to his branching out on his own, Vinson was rated as one of the rountry's outstanding saxaphonists. He enjoyed this lofty ranking while a member of the Cootie Will Hams band, even though his talents for singing the blues earned him the featured vocalist assignment with the aggregation.
 Vinson points out that there is a practical advantage to his de- termination to learn the intricacies of a number of instruments. Says he "I1l not only be a better bal anced musician, I'll be a better bandleader as well, for I can do better blending job when know the possibilities and limitations of every instrument. The net result should be better music and there fore better entertainment for our fans and general public. It's cer- tainly worth the experiment any how"

NEW YORK-Two Negro wom- en are among the jury panel in the conspiracy trial of II of the high-ranking Communist leaders of the nation.
 The two are Ida F. Howell and Thelma Dial, both New Workers.
 Selection of Negroes was an ironical circumstance in view of the contention of the defense, over a long period of wrangling, that the system of selection of jurors was one which discriminated against Negroes.
