Albums On Parade
The LIP disc is unquestionably
here to stay, even though there
seems to have arisen new crop
of fans who decry the much-her-
aided Jumping of musical ag-
gregation's "bests" onto one plat
ter. This group complains that
they have to accept six or eight
so-called "bests" when in reality
there are only one of two, or may
be three at the most. This may be
true in some instances. but in the
main, we are thinking such pack
ages really live up to the blown
up description.
Whatever your opinion, here's
a rundown on some recent album
releases, many of which command
a wide and extremely healthy
following:
For the Stan Kentonites, there
is recommended his Sketches on
Standards, a packet of eight of
the most frequently requested
dance tunes. 1t is apparent this is
something new for the Kenton
crew when you look at the i'm
pressive list Of singles and al
buns which have come out in the
past original compositions and
even highly original treatments Of
standards.

Atomic Panel SET
For Labor Disputes

President Eisenhower an
nounced yesterday that an
atomic energy labor-management
relations panel would be set up
under the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service to deal with
disputes threatening to disrupt
the atomic energy program.
The new panel will replace a
similar group in the Atomic En-
ergy Commission itself, whose
members resigned a few days ago.
The new panel will operate
as did the predecessor agency
in Government-owned, privately
operated atomic energy installa-
tions.
Acc has no pressing problems
for the new board at this time.
Although Acc is negotiating with
q number of labor unions, the
only serious dispute is at the Han
ford (Wash.) atomic plant, where
AFL machinistS and millwrights
are in a jurisdictional argument.
This already has gone to a three
man arbitration board.
