African Drummer
Scores In Session

Chicago, ILL.,, March 20 Tues
day night jam sessions at Chi
cago's famed Roosevelt college
went native" last week as Guy
Warren, called the greatest drum
mer of West Africa, stole the
show usually presided over by ex-
ponents of the cool school.
Drummer Warren traced the rhy-
thin in American jazz from At
RIGA origins to the present day.
He used African drums of va
rious types as we'll as those COM
monty used by jazz brush and stick
men. The audience literally went
wild when Guy demonstrated how
he thought jazz rhythms will be
played five years from now.
Chicago drummer Wilbur Camp
bell who was at the session said
of Warren's playing, "this sound
is new and the most"
A high point of the performance
was Warren's playing on the ira
ditional "Bintin Obonu," which he
brought from Africa to add color
to current percussion sections.

From Where | Sit
BY VINCENT S. BAKER

NEW Observation-Disclosures re-
lease by the State Department of
the "Yalta papers" has added an
other tempest to those that have
ragged around that subject for ten
years. Constructive thinking con-
corning that Big Three Confer
ence has been made difficult by
the fact that the chief American
participant was man who always
aroused blind love and blind hate
Franklin d. Roosevelt. But let's
see what we can do if we use
thought rather than emotion.
First of all, the publication of
the document was sound action.
The only reasons for keeping pub
lie business from public knowledge
should be the protection of national
security or the avoidance of dam
age to current diplomatic negotia-
tons. Obviously, neither reason
can be intelligently advanced here
Moreover, Yalta has lessons both
for today's leaders and for the
public opinion of which they should
be spokesman.
The central lesson is that con-
cessions made to tyrants as a bride
or peace offering, or in the name
of eXpediency, will come back to
haunt the nations which make
them. And tyrants remain ty-
rants even when they are forced
to ally themselves with the democ-
racies. Those who advocate APP
peasement of Red China for the
sake of peace should remember
what 9alta has to teach.
But hindsight is easy. British
and American military leaders be-
lieved that the Pacific War would
. last eighteen months after Ger
many surrendered. even with the
Atomic bomb. The desire to save
lives must have been great and
, Russian Intervention might have
done this. No one could be sure
that Russia would violate her
pledges. AS it turned out, we
didn't need Russia in the Pacific
war. She broke her word on free
elections in Eastern Europe. The
concessions made to her have Gre
ated a dangerous strategic situa
ton IN the Far East. But the
Western leaders did what they
thought wisest at the time. We
should avoid their mistakes but
such words as treason" and
traitor do not belong in a dis
| cussion Of Yalta.

This was the declaration made
Sunday by Grand Exalted Ruler

He said people must be taught
what the Bill of Rights means in
sofar as education and employment

advised, is not a sectional problem
but an American one. America can
put over its measure to the world
by proving Christianity is working,
he pointed out. Freedom is daily

how the Elks, through its giant
registration Of Negro voters and
its scholarship program is making
itself felt in the cause of better
schools, housing and jobs.
He paid tribute TO individuals

1855 1LiffIe Hoover Committee
To Go To Court

| In 1853 Arnold Olsen defended
State Auditor John Holmes in suit
brought by Sam w. Mitchell against
the operation of similar committee.
| Olsen's actions at that time were to
| defend the law setting up the COM
mittee. In a 3-2 decision the 1858
interim committee was declared I'M
constitutional.
John L. (Luke) MeKeon was Oh
sens assistant in that case. Mr.. Nc
Keen, who has since entered private
law practice in Anaconda, has been
retained by the present Little Hoover
Committee to take the case to court
for them. The committee has no mon
ey so reports are the case will be on
a contingency basis. If he wins, Mr..
McKeon will be paid, if not, he
doesn't.
If McKeon files his case on the
basis of saying the Board of Examin-
ers must pay the claims, Olsen will
probably appear and say the Supreme
Court has said these committees are
unconstitutional and until they rule
differently they are still unconstitu-
tional.
Justice Freebourn said interim leg
islative committees could only be
settled by constitutional amend
ment. Such an amendment was pre-
sented at the last legislative session,
but did not pass.
Legislative committees have been
set up by the last three legislative
sessions. The first committee func-
toned The second was declared un-
The third is again in
court because of constitutional ques-
lions.
Even if the court ruled this COM
mittee was constitutional and could |
function, should the next legislature
set up another committee the ques-
ion of constitutionality would again
arise.
Until the constitution is changed
interim committee members will have
% face the possibility of suits in the
court, expense to individual members
f they continue to operate during
litigation or abandonment of the
committee work, such as happened
o the 1858 committee.
