Bondsman Balls Out
Ben Gold as Union
Securities Are Barred
BY fhs Asseeleiad Press

Ben Gold, RuSsian-born presi-
dent of the international Fur
and Leather Workers Union,
was rescued from jail by a pro-
fessional bondsman yesterday
after surrendering to answer a
three-count perjury indictment.
Gold sought to post $4,000
In United States Treasury bonds
owned by his union as bail. but
ran into trouble when the clerk
of the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia and a
Justice Department attorney OBJ
tected.
A professional bondsman A.
nally bailed Gold out-at $500
fee-after the 54-year-old union
president had spent an hour in
the courthouse lookup.
No date was set for Colds
formal arraignment. Defense
lawyers told newsmen he will
plead not guilty.
Accused of Perjury.
Gold was indicted here last
Friday on charges that he lied
under oath in swearing he was
not Communist in August.
1850, when he signed a nom
Communist affidavit and filed it
with the National Labor Rela-
tionS Board.
If convicted, the union chief
could face a possible maximum
sentence of Is years in prison
and a $4,000 fine.
Gold, wearing dark glasses,
surrendered at the Office of
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover and offered the $4,000
in Treasury bonds along with a
letter signed by the secretary
treasurer of his union authoriz-
ing him to use the bonds as
bail.
James Menendez, clerk of the
courts criminal division, re-
fused to accept the bonds. how
ever, on the ground that Gold
lacked proper authority from the
union to use them as bail.
Joseph A. Lowther, a Justice
Department attorney, took a
similar position.
Board Approval Held Needed.
After lengthy debate, Judge
Charles F. Mclaughlin upheld
Mr.. Menendez' contention that
a letter signed by Pietro Lucchi,
secretary-treasurer of the union,
was not sufficient authority for
Gold to use the bonds. The
judge supported Mr.. Menendez'
assertion that specific authority
should come from the unions
board.
Gold listened quietly while
his lawyers wrangled with off,
cials over the bail issue.
A United States marshal f.
nally led Gold away to cell.
but an hour later he was freed
when a bondsman signed the
necessary papers at a S per cent
fee.

ESQ From lis Staff;
100 More Will Go

Dismissal notices will go out to
$50 employees in the Foreign
Operations Administration this
week.
Director Harold E. Stassen said
the order of dismissals resulted
partly from the now-famous
aptitude examination given
agency employees to help de-
termine which workers should
get the ak in the FOA's reduc-
tion-in-force program. Budget
cuts are forcing the agency to
trim its payroll by $50 employees.
About $50 of the agency's en-
ployeS got the bad news yester-
day and 100 more will be notified
later this week. Another $50
employees received letters con-
tanning the good news that they
were being retained.
FOA officials stressed that the
aptitude test was only one fac
tor in determining the dismis-
sails. Civil service standing, vet
Grams preference and seniority
were other factors considered.

Meanwhile, more than 800 re-

reer workers.
Letters Mailed Out.
H. L. Spector, acting personnel
director of the Foreign Opera
tions Administration, said about
500 form letters went out yes
terday under Mr.. Stassen's sig-
nature.
About half the letters said:
II am pleased to advise you
that it has been definitely de-
cided to request you to continue
in your service. :"
The other half said:
"It is with great reluctance
that I have reached the conclu-
sion that, as a part of the nec-
essary reorganization and COM

in compliance with the congress
sional limitation. it has been de-
cided of necessity to conclude

Dismissed employees were in
formed they could ask for a spe-
cial review within the next sc

Club Zanzibar Gets
National Publicity

Along with other famous night
spots in the valley, Club Zanzibar,
18th Ave. and Hadley, was featured
and given big send-off by Doro-
thy Kilga1len, a feature writer for
Goodhousekeeping Magazine in an
article appearing in the current
issue. -. =. ,.,:. -. g. !.
George 10th, manager of the
Club Zanzibar, said Miss Kilgallen
entered the club unannounceds as
any ordinary patron would do and
began to observe and takes notes
as she sat at table with a COM
panion, slipping drink, ''She made
herself. CONSPICUOUS by her atten-
tiveness to'the show and other ac-
tivities in the club. In fact looked
to hear a complaint the next day,
but nothing happened" the man
ager said. II didn't know what it
was all about until someone told
me the Zanzibar had gotten nation
al publicity" He further said, II
wasn't worried because our place
is always open for observation or
inspection to anyone.
Mrs. Kilgallen said in her story:
I wanted to discover what Phoe-
nix had in the way of cool jazz,
and my guide, who was not sure of
the definition of cool jazz, thought
that if it was to be found any,
where it might exist at the Zanzi-
bar, a place with five-piece band
in the Negro section of town. So
we went there next The band was
headed by David McClammy, sax
man, and it had a trombone and
drums and piano and bass and an
other saxophone, and it was cool
indeed, in the best tradition of
every man for himself.
There was a small dance floor,
with four couples dancing, expert
ly, little off the beat, intimately,
now and then kissing as they
danced.
The customers at the tables were
mostly young men, Negroes and
Mexicans, drinking beer and soft
drinks and talking quietly. A sign
on the bar read, Drink up, boys,
the. brewery needs the kegs" but
nobody seemed in any hurry to

obey it. And because the music was
live that night, nobody put a nickel
in the big mirrored juke box in the
corner.
Mrs. Kilgallen said well-heeled
and upper-middlebrow citizens Of
Phoenix-the millionaires, the cat
tlemen, the businessmen, the solid
citizens - have not progressed to
cool jazz; they are still in the
Dixieland period, and Dixieland US
ually is featured in the comfort

Cab Is Best
.Sportin' Life Yet
By ALLAN MCMILLAN

NEW 1OFth \\1lODdl)- 1HdI III
De-Ho Man The first time
ever saw Cab Galloway was one
afternoon in 1928 when he was
shooting marbles backstage at the
old Sunset Cafe in Chicago. He was
a high school marble champ and
he used to shoot for pennies every
afternoon-enough to supply him
self with ice cream and sodas at
Wendell Phillips High, because he
was always a winner. His sister
Blanche was headliner long be-
fore Cab made his night club debut,
but CabeH has outdone everybody
in his family. It has been my pleas
ure to watch him during the past
twenty-five years, in night clubs
and in theatres, in motion pictures
and on TV, and 1 enjoy him more
and more each time. The other day
I had an opportunity to see him in
new role, that of Sportin' Life in
"Porgy and Bess," the current re-
vival of the DuBose Hayward
George Gershwin folk opera.
Cab Calloway's characterization
of Sportin' Life is the best that I
have ever seen. I saw Bubbles
(Buck and Bubbles) and Avon
Long in previous productions and
this piece is not meant to belittle
their performances in the least.
This is just situation when a part
is "made to order" for an actor
and Cabell gives one of the great
est performances l have ever wit
messed on the stage. His singing,
his acting, his manneriSmS, all
blend together in what many of
the critics, as we'll as myself, final
ly agreed to be perfect charac-
teriZation. AS one who has seen
"Porgy and Bess'' fifteen times, I
think I am in position to know
who is who, and this production
of the wonderful folk opera is
superb. Leontyne Price, Leslie
Scott, LaVern Hutcherson, Ury1ee
Leonardos, Georgis Burke, Helen
Dowdy, John McCurry, Elizabeth
Foster, Joe Attles and Moses
LAMAR all add lustre to a great
stage vehicle.
Cosmetologist Allie Clay says
that women buy ten times more
clothes than men and the feminine
sex is now more brilliant than ever
in the art of making themselves
noteworthy. There are also more
women in business than ever in the
history of America and many of
the So-called weaker sex" are de-
| veloping into high salaried execu-
tives and running the wheels of
business and industry in highly
capable fashion. Mrs. Clay says
that there are over 10000 women
in New York City alone who either
own their own businesses outright
or are in partnership with another
/ femme. That is fact that I have
not known until now. Wonder how
many femme eecutives there are
in New York City. would like to
know. Women are hard to work
for.
