THE BAND NEWS
RN Marlene Park

After a brief rest from all work
the band is once more ready to get
down to business. The next couple
of months will probably be the most
exciting and strenuous during the
year. There are many plans for the
band. Probably the most import
ant is the Band Clinic in Tampa,
: TO which three of the members Of
the band and Mr.. Casterton went
last Thursday and Friday, the
State Fair in Tampa, and the trip
TO Cuba for the carnival.
= The band clinic is held every
year. It's purpose is to select music
which is suited for high school
bands. There are two hundred fifty
or more carefully selected band
students sent from bands all over
Florida to the clinic. Since this
Number is too large for one band
tie group is divided into two bands,
- concert band and a clinic band.
These two bands play all types of
music and plenty of it. The concert
band plays a concert on Friday
night for an audience of five or
more. From our group Tom Cor
nell and Mary Harris went as
participants and Roberta Van AL
len as an observer. Tom played in
the concert band and Mary in the
clinic band. This year the two con-
ductors were Mr.. William d. Re-
velli of the University of Michigan,
and Mr.. Paul Lavalle of the Band
Of America.
The Florida State Fair is Ameri-
cas- greatest mid-winter exposition.
II lasts for almost two weeks, dur
ing which time there are parades,
exhibits, auto races and other spe-
cial events. This year will be the
third year in which our band has
taken part in the parade in Tampa.
We will leave on Sunday, February
10, parade and visit the fair
grounds Monday and come home
late Tuesday night. The trip is very
interesting and educational with
much to see and not enough time
to see il in.
We don't know too much about
the carnival held in Cuba in Feb
ruary.
The members of the band is wait
ing in anticipation for this trip We
will leave Friday, February % on
gunboat for Cuba. Saturday is the
" big parade in which there will be
: many bands and colorful floats.
Sunday night our band will play
q concert for the people of Cuba
and Monday morning we will de-
part for home. Our only hope Is
that most of us will not get too
sea-sick.

Four Children and Mother Of Two Die In Cabin Fire Six Miles from Anchorage

ANCHORAGE, (P)-Four small children and the mother of two of them died in a fire which de- stroyed their home about six miles southeast of here yesterday.
 Dead were Mrs. William Me Lean, 27, her two children, Bar bara Jo, 2, Tommy, nine months, and Eddie Null, 2, and Tommy Ray Null, 6.
 AllySon Null, mother of two of the fire victims and Mrs. Calvin Coe, sister-in-law of the dead woman, were in Providence Hos pital here suffering from burns and shock.
 William Mclean, who lost his wife and two children in the fire, Ed Null, whose two children also died, and Calvin Coe, husband of one of the injured women, were treated for shock and released.
 The three families were living on a homesite in a three-room hut in which the five died, a tent house which caught fire from the hut, a trailer house and a cabin.
 Mrs. Coe made a heroic effort to enter the burning buildings to save the victims but was turned back by smoke and flames.

Senate Passes
 S6,7O0,OOO 900 Bill For Foreign Aid

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Sen ate has overwhelmingly passed a S6,7OO,OO0,0C0 foreign aid bill but the Mutual Security Program is almost sure to be cut further be- fore any money actually becomes available.
 The final Senate vote on pass age Wednesday night was GA to 10 with 39 Democrats and 25 Re publicans joining in support of the measure to aid Americas friends all over the world. Nine Republicans and one Democrat, Olin Johnston (SC), said "No."
 But the bill now goes into con- ference with the House which vo- ted last Friday, 245 to no, to authorize the spending of S6,163,- 100000 in the fiscal year starting this July 1.
 This 7-million-dollar differ ence between the two branches means that an additional cut in the Senate total is almost ineVit- able.
 President Truman asked for $7,900,000,00O, declaring this was the minimum needed for Ameri- ca's security.
 The bulk of the money in the authorization bill is for direct military assistance designed to equip the forces of American allies in western Europe and else where.

  To Gen. Ridggway
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Gen. Eisenhower, surrendering his defense command in Paris Friday said he will refuse to en- gage in an active campaign for the Republican presidential nom- ination.
 A spokesman for Eisenhower's campaign headquarters in Wash ington said, however, that what the general meant by that state ment was that "he won't go on any transcontinental train trip or go around shaking hands"
 The spokesman said the head of every delegation to the July COP national convention has been invited to call on Eisenhower be- fore the convention to learn his views on the major issues of the day. He said the talks, to be held at Abilene, Kas., New York and Denver, will be "give-and-take sessions. The delegates can ask the general anything they want"
 Eisenhower turned over his North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- ton Command to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway in Paris and let it be known he'll shed his uniform on Tuesday.
 Meanwhile, Senator Taft SUD- porters bought newspaper adver- Using space to assail Eisenhower, due in Washington Sunday.

Memorial Day 1852

WASHINGTON, (P)-While the nation mourned it's war dead this troubled Memorial Day, Ameri- can troops fought in Korea, other US. soldiers in Europe paid trib- ute to fallen comrades of past wars, and Communists rioted in Japan.
 In both the Orient and in Flu rope, military leaders called for renewed devotion to ideals for which Americans have died.
 "We best honor our fallen com rades by our devotion to the great causes for which they died and for which we continue to battle," said Gen. Mark Clark, supreme Allied commander in the Far East.
 "We can pay no greater tribute to our honored dead than to re- dedicate ourselves to the cause for which they died," agreed Gen. Thomas N. Handy, commander of US. European Command.
 On the green hills of Arlington National Cemetery across the Po- tomac from Washington, wreaths from President Truman were placed at the tomb of the Un- known Soldier, and at memorials to dead of the Spanish American and Civil WarS-both Union and Confederate.

SEATTLE, (R - Settlement of the labor dispute between the Bering Sea Fishermen's Union and Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, resulted today in the dismissal in federal court at Seattle of a $208,- 872 damage suit against BSFU and two other unions.

 Meanwhile, the Alaska Commit tee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce appealed to John R. Steelman, assistant to President Truman, for action to assure un- interrupted steamship service to Alaska.

AIR TRAVEL ZOOMS BACK TO NORMAL

WASHINGTON, (P) - Airline travel and other private flying can zoom back to normal at 3:O1 Eastern Standard Time next Tues day morning.
 Secretary of the Interior Chap man made this possible Wednes- day night when he signed an order lifting restrictions at that time on the amount of gasoline commercial and sports flying could use.
 Chapman said the results of the aviation gas cut had been tragic for some airlines.
 The restrictions were imposed May 6, when the government cut airline gas consumption to 65 per cent of use in the March base period. The restrictions resulted from a strike by 90,000 oil work CTS. The effects of the strike have eased as the result of individual settlements in the industry.

New Price Ceilings Boost Food Costs
 $l0O,OOO,OOO a Year

WASHINGTON, (P) - Retail grocers Thursday began compu- ting new price ceilings on hun- dreds of food items based on gov ernment approval of higher profit margin for the industry.
 The new ceilings can go into effect Monday. The Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) issued an or der Wednesday night authorizing increases ranging up to 25 per- cent in the mark-ups retail food stores can apply to their costs. OPS said this averages about 8 penny an item on the selected list of foods affected.
 Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall es- timated the margin hikes will in- crease food costs to the public by from 100 million to 150 million dollars year. He said minimum of 1GO millions is needed by the industry to assure fair and equit- able earnings under the law and pricing standards.

President Asks
 S3,34l,O l,OOO,OO For Atomic Expansion

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman asked Congress Thursday for S3,341 100000 for major further expansion" of atomic pro- duction facilities.
 The money, in the form of a suppl n tai appropriation, would go to the Atomic Energy Commission and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 Truman said, in a letter to House Speaker Rayburn, the ex- pansion is necessitated by the fact that "the Soviet Union has shown no disposition to cooperate in an international program for control and regulation of armaments."
 Lacking international control of atomic energy, he added, "the national security and the security of the free world demand that we maintan and increase our leader ship in this field"
 Any expansion presumably would not only speed up additions to the US. stockpile of /conven- tional A-bombs, both of World War II and smaller size. but would permit pushing ahead with greater speed the development of new military uses.
 Of top priority among the new uses is the hydrogen bomb, which some scientists have estimated IS potentially as much as 1000 times as powerful as the uranium bomb.
