This and That

Templeton Jones Snatches few mo-
ments from his busy days, now and
then, to listen to the radio, and what
he listens to is the popular song.
No symphony for Jones. Those who
care for highbrow music have their
fine orchestra, led by a very good con-
ductor. Once a week there is grand
opera on the radio, and sillier stuff no
man ever listened to, says Jones-nor
more enjoyable.
But when Templeton Jones listens
for pleasure, give him Joni James sing
ing II Love Only You," as he calls it.
("Why Don't You Believe Me?")
Or the same young lady doing Have
You Heard?" Or your Cheating Heart"
Here is the greatest new female voice
in the popular field. according to Jones.
She doesn't sing, he says. she projects
her voice.
Projection, rather than singing, is the
very latest. There is always some fad
or other in popular music, and just
now it is projection.
You don't sing. sister. you project.
This means to throw the voice, rather
than place it.
The singer comes in just a little be-
fore or bit behind the usual, the nor
NAL, the correct.
This makes for q certain flavor very
much liked by those In the know. Jones
doesn't know, Of course, but he rather
likes Miss James way Of singing.

lad.
The Lawrence Welk orchestra has
fine number in 20 Happy Day." sung
by a real bass, but one who is unable
to go down to the final note, as he
should.
Templeton Jones recalls the famous
bass singers of old time comic opera.
especially in the Reginald de Koven and
Victor Herbert numbers.
No musical show by either Of these
was complete without at least one good
bass number, sometimes two.
De Koven'S "It Takes Nine Tailors
to Make~a Man." from his Robin
Hood" knocked the bottom out OF the
staff, and "The Armorer'S Song" too,
was a wonderful deep number.
Best Of all the old popular bass songs.

This was a sure-f1re hit when sung by
a real singer who could put the final
Dong" down where it belonged.
Templeton Jones cheriShes the pop
ular song.
He believes that melody is melody
wherever you find it or hear it. and
that If Beethoven didn't shrink from a
good tune, neither should any other
listener.
The good simple song. he says. al
ways has It's place in the world Of music.
Evening star., 1953-04-13

What are some Of the other tunes
this music appreciator likes?
Well, there is Patti Page doing II
Went to Your Wedding" also 1.-The
Doggie in the Window" (Jones partic-
ularly likes the barks.)
He has a good word for Teresa
Brewer in IT'LL I Waltz Again with
You," and for an unknown but very
clear soprano doing my Favorite Song"
or is it "Waltz?"
Then there is Margarite Whiting
singing something about the ringing
bells. as if there were anything else
bells can do but ring.
A lady by the name of Kenzie sings,
much to Templeton Jones' satisfaction,
a happy song with the unhappy title
of Gone" This singer has that rarity.
a really pleasing contralto.
Jones says you mostly have to take
the contralto on faith; they are sup
posed to be great, but actually you don't
like them, you prefer the sopranos. the
higher the better. At least he does.
Then there is 10 Stafford doing one
of the best hillbilly tunes ever invented,
Keep It Secret"
Mindy Carson (after whom Jones'

thing very nice and confidential in "Oh.

Tightening Up on Drunken Driving

A loophole in the District law governing
licensing of automobile drivers will be closed
If Congress adopts the suggestion of Traffic
Director Keneipp and the District Commits
soners. The loophole may have permitted some
District drivers to escape the permit
penalty for drunken driving.
Under existing law a motorSt convicted of
driving while drunk in the District of Columbia
automatically loses his driving license for six
months Except that shorter period of revoca-
tion may be approved in certain instanceS).
At the expiration of the revocation period he
may apply for reinstatement of his permit.
Reinstatement is discretionary with the Traffic
Department. But the wording of the law does
not cover drunken driving convictions outside
the District. Thus, a driver convicted in nearby
Arlington or Maryland or anywhere else is not
subject to mandatory revocation of his District
permit. However, it has been the policy here
to use the departments discretionary powers
in such cases.
bill introduced by Chairman Case of the
Senate District Committee at the request of
the Commissioners would make the automatic
permit-revocation law apply to offenses COM
mitted outside the District as well as within.
It would go further than that, however. 1t
would broaden the mandatory-revocation pro-
vision SO as to cover convictions for homicide
by motor vehicle, ht-and-run cases, reckless
driving involving personal injury and any felony
in the commission of which an automobile is
used.
The rising toll of automobile accidents
justifes general Tightening up Of driving re-
strictions here and everywhere. Last years
national total of dead and injured on the
highways was the largest in history-37, 800
deaths and 100000 persons injured. Forty per
cent of the deaths and SO per cent of the
injuries occurred on Saturdays and Sundays,
with Saturday the most dangerous day for
driving. In this connection the 1858 Book of
Street and Highway Accident Data, published
by the Travellers Insurance Companies, states
that the heavy Saturday toll was not entirely
due to greater use of the highways on that day.
Says the book Something else sets this day

many people is time when drinking and driv-
ing get together. No one knows exactly how
many traffic accidents are caused by drinking
drivers, but every one knows it is major prob
lem" That is why many jurisdictions, including
the District, are cracking down on drunken
drivers. Permit revocation is a part of the
program. More Jail sentences instead of fines
would be helpful, too.

Sensible Compromise

It is good that the Senate and House have
at last put an end to their rather unSeemly
deadlock over the Craftsmanship of the Joint
Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy.
The deadlock has adversely affected the COM
mittee's business for the past three MONTHS its
continuation could have done real harm to the
Nations best interests
The trouble in this matter has Stemmed
from an over-acute sense of prerogatives, with
the Senate feeling that the Craftsmanship
should always go to one of its members, and
with the House insisting that it should not be
brushed off that way. The upshot of the argu-
ment is compromise under which the Job is
to shift back and forth between a Senator and
a Representative every two years. with the
advent of each new Congress.
In keeping with the compromise, the joint
committee will now be headed by Representa-
tive w. Sterling Cole of Bath, New York, with
Senator Bourke B. Hickenlooper of Iowa acting
as vice chairman. Mr.. Cole is one of the COM
mittees veteran members, and Mr. Hicken-
looper is perhaps even more experienced, having
served as chairman in the Republican controlled
80th Congress. Under the new arrangement, he
will become chairman again in 1855 if his party
retains Senate control in next years elections.
This rotation system seems sound. Up to
now, a Senator has always been chairman of
the joint atomic group, but there is no good
reason why the job should be denied properly
qualified Representative The committee
which is one of the most important in Congress,
has worked out sensible compromise to rescue
both itself and the country from the mischief
of possible "prerogative" deadlocks in the
future.

Singing Out JoywoIkers

most certainly agree that jaywalk-
ing is dangerous practice and should
be stopped. However, in working to this
end. the Police Department must en-
force the law in respect to it fairly and
continuously. The "spot" enforcement
that is apparently going on at this time
Is ineffective and serves no other pur-
pose than to ALLEVIATE the average law
abiding citizen insofar as the Police
Department is concerned.
In Los Angeles, where I recently
lived, jaywalking is actually non
existent and 1t is a real pleasure to
drive there insofar as having to con-
tend with pedestrians is concerned. 1t
probably took several years of hard
work and continuous enforcement to
bring this about, and, as understand
it. the newspapers were very helpful in
working with the police department in
helping to educate the public toward
this end. also noted that it was prac-
tically impossible to jaywalk out there
and not get violation ticket, but then
there are probably more police per
square block than in any other city in
the United States.

The Problem of Jopon's Economy

The making or the ending OF wars lneVltaoly
has far-reaching economic effects. So it is
that the current peace offensive" launched
in Moscow, combined with a re-examination
of mobilization policies here and the relatively
peaceable conversations about Korea, have
encouraged new economic uncertainties in vari-
Gus parts of the world.
One of the deepest of these uncertainties
Is found in Japan, defeated but newly lnde-
pendent nation facing terrific uphill struggle
to bring itself back to level OF economic
independence Never self-Sufhcient in terms OF
food or raw materials, Japan became tWen-
tieth century world power through development
of its industrial capacity. Its greatest needs
were satisfied by the nearby ASiatic mainland,
rich in the required food and raw materials
and providing a hungry market for the finished
products which japanese industry turned out
Indeed, it was the decision to capture this great
trading area in a military sense that led Japan
to the reckless adventures which eventually led
it into a world war and disastrous defeat.
Not surprisingly, Japanese recovery after
that defeat made fast start and prior to the
outbreak of the Korean war in 1850 there had
been a substantial revival in trade between
the island empire and the ASiatic mainland.
The Communist development of China and the
fact of shooting war on the Korean peninsula
meant dead-end to that avenue of revival
OuC CQe war 1LSel1 pIOVAucu UcAAPOAdAy
substitute
For example, Japan last year imported
approximately 81 billion of goods while export
Ing only $125 billion. The margin was more
than overcome by American expenditures in
Japan of about $500 million for goods and
services, a high proportion of which was
direct by-product of the Korean fighting
Obviously peace in Korea-even an armed
peace will result in a reduction of these
expenditures and the Japanese problem OF
finding a compenSating source of income will
become pressing one.
Even allowing for the influence of American
occupation, there has been little question OF
Japan'S basic preference in the postwar years
for association with the West in general and
the United States in particular. Communism
as such has demonstrated no broad appeal to
the Japanese. At the present time a national
election campaign is under way but the leading
parties differ only in degree as far as their
pro-Western sentiment, is concerned.
There remain, however. the cold realities
of the economic situation Not yet admitted to
participation in the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade, Japan is at a. disadvantage
in world trading areas. In South and Southeast
Asia, for example, British and French commerce
can claim preferences in markets that could
be highly profitable to Japanese trade. Reopen

Charles w. Carter recently tried to
uphold the unjust law discriminating
against Federal employees in the matter
of holding public Office in Virginia, on
the grounds that the Federal employees
who were elected favored things which
he did not like. This strange perver-
sion of justice hardly needs arguing;
but do wish to argue on their merits
some of his objections to the so-called
"Non-Partisans."
He says the "Non-Partisan govern
ment was extremely socialiStic,"
charge that simply has no basis in fact.
Equally absurd is the charge "antago-
nistic to business" They may have
been antagonistic to certain predatory
businessmen, but they were not antago-
nistic to legitimate business interests.
He charges the Non-PartiSans with re-
sponsibility for bonded debt of $28
million. do not know the present size
of the debt, but do know that no group
of officials is responsible for it-every
penny was voted by majority of the
voters of Arlington County.
He tries to diScredit the interest of
the voters in the Non-Partisan move
ment by asserting with less than a
third of the total vote (the Non-Parti-
sans) gained control of the county
government several years ago." The
Non-Partisan candidate had a clear
and substantial majority of the votes
in 1916, 1949 and 1850 Ctwo Of those
times in a three -cornered race). The
fact that they were elected to fill one
job in 1947 and in 1851 with minority
votes merely means that when many
candidates enter, some voters vote for
each-regardless of whom they might
support if the field were narrowed to
a few. (Mr. Carter surely knows that
for long time the Non-PartiSans have
fought for some sort of run-off system
so that the victors would have a ma
jority vote.)
No doubt by now many voters are
awakening to the true nature Of the

Pornoqruphic Films

AS one Of the Is citizens invited to

Let me state that, even though have
been called in on other occasions in
another city to see the kind of porno-
graphic materials which high-school
boys and girls were purchasing, have
never been subjected to such filth as
that which was to have been shown

which portray such indescribaby per-

My deepest sympathy goes to the par

Of whom, no doubt, had no conception
Of the gravity and rottenness of the
situation. only hope that the parents
will not need to see the films in order
to be convinced of their utterly filthy
nature.
It seems to me that the District needs
a citizens committee which could deal
with this whole field of literature and
films which are of pornographic ma
ture. The extent of the showing and
sale of such materials, if the facts were
known, would probably shock even the
most informed. Such citizens COM
mittee could be of considerable aid to
our law-enforcement agencies. I sug-
gest such citizens committee, since

AirIines Not Paying Own Way

The Stars frequent editorials sup
porting an additional airport for this
area are puzzling. BY what line of
reasoning do you arrive at the con-
clusion that the taxpayers should build
another airport for the benefit of COM
mercial airlineS? Civil Aeronautics
Authority officials admitted at recent
congressional hearing that they had
plans for an expenditure of at least
$38 million at Burke.
see no reason why the public should
stand this expense any more than they
should stand the cost of additional
railroad or bus facilities. If the airline
business is so good that they need addi-
tional airports, why not let them pro-
vide the funds for them?
This is an administration which, we
hope, will give some relief to the tax
payers. One way to do it is to get the
commercial airlines off the public dole.
Stopping funds for the Burke project
is step in the right direction.
