Two Schools Accused
OF False Advertising
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commission
ACCUSED two Chicago correspond
.ence schools yesterday of making
false statements in advertising
their law courses.
The two are Blackstone College
iof Law. Inc, whose president
Harold L. Lister, was also cited
and LaSalle Extension University
The commissions complaints
said that LIB. degrees conferred
by the two schools do not, as rep
resented, qualify their graduates
to be admitted to the bar exami-
nations of the various States"
1t was false and misleading, the
commission continued, to repre-
sent that Blackstone and LaSalle
are recognized and standard law
schools; that their courses are
comparable to those used in rec
ognized and accredited resident
law schools"
Hearings were set for October
.18 on the Blackstone complaint
and on october % on the LaSalle
complaint, all in Chicago.

Badly by Electric Wire

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio, July
28.-Nine-year -old John Pophan
climbed tree near his farm home
yesterday to look for the postman.
He didn't find the postman; the
postman found him-dangling by
one foot from the crotch in the
tree.
When they got Johnny to the
hospital and stripped him, they
found burns all over his body.
Sheriff's deputies, looking for a
possible sadist, found instead that
an electric power line passed
through the trees branches.

On Pier Liquor Sale
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, July %. Gov
IMcKeldin has told a Maryland
Liquor Board to call in Virginia
residents if owners of a proposed
Ipier on the south shore of the Po-
Itomac apply for license.
Marylanders would appreciate
ia hearing if a Virginian wanted te
sell liquor on their side of the
river, the Governor said yesterday
He passed along his suggestion to
Benedict B. Love, chairman of the
ISt. Marys County Board of License
Commissioners.
! He also expressed hope to Gov
Battle of Virginia that it would
alleviate sore spot in relations
between the two States.
Began at Colonial Beach.
The situation developed a couple
of years ago when drinks were sole
and slot machines installed on the
end of piers jutting into the river
from Colonial Beach.
Virginia law forbids gambling
Ior whisky sales outside State
Istores. Liquor may be sold by the

This and That

Best Of the latest popular tunes is
Across the Wide Missouri"
1t is too bad that Victor could not
have given Miss Margaret Truman such
a song to sing in her first album of
records.
The American folk songs" she does
sing are historically but not musically
acceptable to most listeners.
This is all the more pity, since her
light, sweet voice is ideally suited to folk
music.
The historical songs she sings, coming
down from early Colonial days, date so
badly they are not likely to find popular
favor.
Burl Ives has rescued hundreds of
genuine old folk songs from oblivion, and
shown all record listeners what such
material may mean in the daily life.
The true folk song is, above every
thing else, tuneful.
Tuneful in the better sense, that of a
singable melody, song that appeals to
the average ear.
No one should underestimate the ear.
1t belongs with the birds.
Surely one who has watched cock
sparrow. or song sparrow, lean his
head to one side as he listens to music
from the house, will not be willing to
believe that birds do not appreciate
music from others as well as from their
own kind.
Bird watchers, mighty band today.

Here is a folk song (no matter
whether old or new which has the bet
ter qualities OF such musical material
The voice of the singer reaches up
with mild sort of below
Voices capable of this sort of quiet
believing are the best voices to sing folk
songs. Bing Crosby at his best can do it.
Tex Kicker is admirable.
The male singer in Victor's record of
the Hugo Winterhalter offering of
Across the Wide Missouri" does a
bang-up job.
We suspect that some of the listeners
do not know how good this sort of music
is. They think they must cover up their
liking, as if it is something to be
ashamed of; but the truth is that it is
precisely the sort of music the great
Beethoven and the great Brahms loved.
Good folk tunes may be called basic
music. A real composer can go on from
there, as Beethoven and Brahms did.
The rest of US can love them. because
they are real unpretentious music. the
sort we all like to sing in the bathtub
or going across Taft Bridge.
If you see or hear some one standing
on the bridge, some sunny afternoon,
believing Across the Wide Missouri"
don't call the cops. just sneak up close
and listen. Neither the Missouri nor our
local ravine is very wide, but wide

A Victory for the Children

The Army's decision to cancel it's plans for
taking over Prince William Forest Park for
secret military project is most gratifying The
announcement will bring joy to the hearts of
thousands of underprivileged children who have
been looking forward to another vacation in the
rustic Virginia reservation. Hopes for such
vacation this summer faded with disclosure by
The Star of request from defense authorities
for use of the park for activities of an undiS-
closed nature.
Indications are that high officials in the
Defense Department were not aware of the
serious threat to Washington'Si child-welfare
program until Star reporters began to question
them about the park closing plan The 14,5OO-
acre area is a summer retreat for more than
1000 boys and girls, carefully picked by various
welfare organizations. In the forest are Camps
mer Outings Committee of the Family and Child
Services of Washington; Camp Happyland of the
Salvation Army, Camp Mawavi of the Camp
Fire Girls and Camp Lichtman of the Twelfth
Street YMCA. In addition, more than 100
physically handicapped children were given va
cations in the park last summer by the Washing
ton Heart Association.
Closing of the park probably would have
meant abandonment of the camp program this
season for most of the organizations as it is toe
late to make other satisfactory arrangements.
Prince William Forest Park has been mentioned
also as possible site for one of the dispersal
projects under consideration. 1t is to be hoped
that this proposal, too, will be dropped forth
with. Every effort should be made to preserve
the scenic park for the recreational purposes
for which it was set aside
Evening star., 1951-03-17

will feel certain that every feathered
singer knows and appreciates the music
OF Old Man Mockingbird
Historicity of an old song has it's ap-
peal to specialist, as, indeed, is Miss
Truman. But to the average listener, all
that counts is the tune, the melody, the
song pattern.
Song patterns range from elaborate to
simple, from the stretched-out to the
condensed. Some of the Hawaiian melo-
dies are based solidly on no more than
two or three notes.
When these melodies spark a sym
phony, they are called motives.
Volumes of these basic symphony
themes are always interesting to the
lover of good music.
1t is not always realized that good
music is an elastic thing, including both
symphony and operate music, at one
end, and the best of popular music at
the other.
Genuine music lovers do not laugh at
simple melodies, no matter how simple.
Song patterns seem genuine when they
do genuine things to the listener. Much
depends upon the listener.
A good folk song must have good bel
lowing quality, too.
Let us hope that this statement strikes
no reader as odd. 1t is simply state
ment of fact.
1t is well exemplif1ed in "The Beauti-
full Tennessee Waltz"
