Record Row - e.
Past Is Present Inspiration

Another oldie, II Never Knew"
is sung by songstress Marjorie
Hughes, who recently made her
debut as a single on Columbia.
You're Heartless" is the coupling,
and the pair is good one. Hugo
Winterhalter and orchestra &C
company most effectively.
Marjorie Hughes, incidentally. is
the daughter of frankie Carrie,
who is currently offering two
other oldies. Missouri Waltz" and
THAT Naughty Waltz" in mod
ern idiom. Both records are well
and amusingly done.
Miss Hughes began her career
as singer with her fathers band.
Interesting Is the fact that her
mother slipped a record she had
made into a pack the leader was
listening to in his search for a
new singer, without revealing the
singers identity. Marjorie's rec
ord won his favor, and she got the
job.
Coming up: The new AL Jolson
album is on its way to local stores
Included among Columbia's
long playing releases for Septem-
Der will be Beethoven's Ninth
Symphony, recorded by Bruno
Walter, with the Westminster
Choir, Brahms Requiem and
Handel's Concerto Grocci. An
abridged version Of "The Merry
Widow" will be included. with
Rise Stevens and Dennis Morgan.
Also available will be an album by
Edith Piaf.
Two not-new but worth hearing
Decca albums are Back Room
Piano" by Frank Froeba and his
boys and Katherine Dunham's
afro Caribbean Songs and Rhy-
thms." Mr.. Froeba's playing is
in the tradition of the gent who
played more for brew than
for cash. Included in his album
is w. c. Handy's st. Louis Blues"
Sugar Blues" II Wonder Who's
Kissing Her Now" and "Just a
Girl That Men Forget"
The Katherine Durham album
contains songs arranged by the
dancer in order that they would
most closely approximate her
original hearing of them. The
songs reflect the French, Spanish,
Portuguese and African influences
that have put their stamp on the
Caribbean Islands, and are sung |
by Miss Durham and members Of
her ensemble. Prominent in the
accompaniment Of the songs and
chants heard in the album, that
range in feeling from the primi-
tive to the modern, are the drums.
including voudun drums-the |
same ones used in. the initiation
Of Miss Durham into a Haitian
voudun cult.
Miss Durham, who is an an
thropologist, photographer, au-
thor and founder and supervisor
Of her own school Of dancing as
well as an artist, believes that
you can learn more about people |
from their dances than. from al
most anything else about them"

Cuts in Retail Prices
Lag Too Far Behind,
Sales Chiefs Warned

Thomas B. McCabe, chairman
of the Federal Reserve Board, to-
day told bosses of the Nations
statesmen that retail prices have
Jagged too far behind lower

ecutives' clubs. They opened a
two-day meeting today at the
Hotel Statler.

vamping of sales organizations to

and for drops in prices to meet
the return to a buyers market.
He said there has been 20
per cent drop in sensitive COM
modify prices, a 10 per cent drop
in general wholesale prices. but
only per cent drop in retail
prices. That is too much OF a
lag, he added. and it is up to the
sales organization to get retail
prices down.
Increased Sales Expected.

industry is going after business
with greater determination than
before and expects this to pay off
! in increased sales.

ness prospects of 80 major COM
panies in the home appliance.

Two-thirds of the companies
expect to increase sales volume

generally expects. a loss in sales.

plans to enlarge sales forces, rang
ing from a 13 per cent increase
in the proceSsed food business and

In Strikes Threatening
Three Railroad Lines
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

Three of the Nations railroads
were threatened with strikes to-
day. making possible the idling of
more than 10000 rail and steel
workers.
Some 10000 workers are ready
to quit their jobs on the Missouri
Pacific Railroad at pm. tomor-
row. Union officials, who rejected
an arbitration proposal yesterday
went ahead with strike plans in
the dispute over some 282 unset
tied claims involving about S.
600, 900.
In Pittsburgh, rail brotherhood
officials have called strikes on two
inter plant connection carriers
which serve scores of plants. prin-
cipally in the steel industry. One
walkout is set for Saturday and
the second for next Tuesday. The
work stoppages on the lines would
make idle some 100000 steel
workers.
Wages are not involved in any
of the rail disputes.
Mediation Board Gives Up.
In Washington. Frank Douglas,
member of the Mediation Board,
said the board has given up en-
tirely" in its efforts to avert the
strike against the Missouri Pacific
Line. The road reported in St.
Louis that it had stopped accept
ing freight that cannot be deliv-
cred before the strike deadline.
Similar restrictions also would be
placed on passenger, mail. bag
gage and express services, the
railroad said.
-Four rail unions are involved in
the dispute. They are the Loco
motive Engineers, Enginemen and
Firemen, Railroad Trainmen and
Railway Conductors. In Cleveland
yesterday, brotherhood spokesmen
said they had decided to make nc
change whatsoever" in their strike
plans.
The strike calls in Pittsburgh by
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen stemmed from disputes
involving technical Interpretation
of various rules.
Board May Prevent Walkout.
| The walkout of about 800 train
men of the Monongahela connect
ing railroad is set for pm. Sat-
urday and the one calling out L.
200 brakemen and conductors on
the union line is scheduled foI

road is the interplant line be-
tween all mills of United States
Steel Corp. subsidiaries in the
Pittsburgh district. The Monon-
gahela line serves Jones g. Laugh
lin Steel Corp. plants in Pitts
burgh and nearby Aliquippa.
Intervention of a presidential
fact finding board would avert
the walkout against the Monon-
gahela connecting line. A board
however. has passed on the union
roads dispute. The brotherhood
has rejected the boards recon-
mendations.
