NEW YORK lR - When a guy
takes his little woman stepping to
the music Of q big-name band, she
may look for the name but he's
a sure bet to get round-eyed over
the girl vocalist.
This entirely natural phenome-
non Is reason enough for a great
percentage of the music boys to
see to II that q bosomy. blonde
little thing sits at the end of the
front row Of bandsmen.
Her main function seems to be
toe-tapping the beat. bobbing the
head IN q somewhat rhythmic pat
tern and throwing q smile at the
boys occasionally. And couple
Of times during the evening the
bandstand beauty gets up and
demonstrates q certain talent for
vocalizing to boot
But Freddy Martin at the Hotel
Roosevelt Is one baton maestro
who has reached the top without
feeding his customers this formula.
From bis bandstand Martin pedals
sweet music with artistic arrange
ments. In front Of the band is
Freddy and his sax-but 10 ser.
Hes never had o regular female
vocalist in % years Of band Lead
ing.
Too many headaches, is the
way Freddy explains il. when

the business advised me 70 steer

"0h, I've always called my par

The above is a portion of the blighted area that the Lit
tie Rock Housing Authority referred to. This area was Sc
lected by the Authority and endorsed by three members of a
Negro Advisory Committee with j. r. Booker, attorney Rev.
Harry Bass, Urban League secretary and l. s. McChnton, do
ing the endorsing. Others on the Committee are Rev. {, {.
Walker and Charles Bussey.
Despite the fact that this area was the only area with
paved streets that housed Negro residents, and the pavement
is paid out, il was endorsed for low-rent housing and urban
redevelopment.
The homes in this area will equal most homes in Little
Rock. Eighty-five percent of the Negroes in Little ROCK are
living on non.paved streets. Many Of the Negro residential
sections have bitches and guleys in the streets with no mod
ern improvements. II appears to the property owners IN TINS

PROSPECTS DIM
 FOR CITY STREET CRAWLING IN l52

As of this week 1t looks like the gravel work on city streets will have to wait until next year.
 All summer the city street de- partment has been waiting for the promised loan of gravel loader. The loader has been brok- en down and prospects for its prompt repair appeared dim to councilmen discussing the situa- tion at the City Council meeting last week.
 Mayor Carl Meier was in favor of purchasing a loader that might be immediately available. Oppon- ents to his plan pointed out that the city had no money to purchase such a piece of equipment and felt it unfair to saddle new council (to be elected October D with such a debt. In the end, ac- ton was postponed pending Chet Sandvik's trip to Anchorage where he was to get information on prices and immediate avail ability. No action was taken when he returned with his report at special meeting held Monday night. According to the mayor, the prices started at S20,00O.
