Famed De Paur Infantry Chorus to
Sing in Jackson, Friday, Feb. II

The celebrated de Paur Infan-
try Chorus, undoubtedly the most
successful attraction in the con
cert business in the last decade
will be heard here in Jackson at
College Park Auditorium on Fri
day, February II, 1856, at 300
pm. under the auspices of the
Jackson College Lyceum Asso-
citation.
Since its civilian debut after
four years service in the uniform
Of the United States Army, the
de Paur Chorus has given more
concert performances a year than
any attraction on the lists OF
Columbia Artists Management,
which brings them here. Since
1949. when it broke all records
by 100 concerts in 100 dates, the
chorus has steadily maintained,
and often increased, this breath
taking pace.
The tuneful veterans, who sang
for American troops from Two
Jima to Berlin, remained together
as a unit under Capt. Leonard
de Paur's direction. In 1851, they
toured the Caribbean, and in 1854
they spent six weeks in Japan,
giving 81 concerts and breaking
more records for attendance. II
was the most impressive tour by
any ensemble since the war.
This unique group was the first
important musical aggregation to
spring from World War II. Orga-
nized originally by the men Of
the 372nd Infantry Regiment at
Fort Dix, N. j.. it persisted as a
group through Pacific assign

Ike's Statement
On School Bill

Washington Here's what
President Eisenhower had to say
about school construction bill at
his press conference last week.
Mr.. President: How would you
feel about an anti-segregation a
mendement to the school con-
strllction bill?
A.-Some of you seem to have
q genius this morning for asking
questions that take great deal
of explanation, rather than mere
1y tol say yes or no. These things
aren't that simple.
Now, when it comes to my de-
votion to the Constitution, what
1t provides, my devotion to the
decisions of the Supreme Court
particularly when they are unan-
imous, I hope, is complete. l be-
lice in the equality of opportun-
tiles for every citizen of the Uni
ted States.
Now, it isn't though quite as
simple as that. If we go to the
other end and begin to talk about
laws, l believe that every law
every important bill, and eery i'm
portant purpose fto-1 Congress
should be in a bill of its own, SC
that we don't ret confusion OF
issues, and, tn, fore, don't know
for what we are oHng or what
we are not voting for.
The Supreme Court, in reaching
its decision a sto what the law
was. provided, and specifically
provided, there be a gradual i'm
plementation, and referred it back
to the district Courts, SO that il
should be gradual.
But, in the meantime. the need
fthe American children. for
schools is right now, Immediate
l., today. So I think there should
be nothing that is put on this
thing that delays the construction
of the bill.
Now, when you come down
though to ask ma nto vote again.
st something that he believes tc
be in furtherance of constitutional,
provisions, the nyou have got
a tough one. But I just think they
ought to be-that is the way
would handle it, to put it very
clearly, because we want the
schools now, and as much as the
decision of the Supreme Court
must be supplemented they sale
themselves, supplemented gradual

problem.
Q-Mr. President, I gather thai
yo uthink the school construc
ton bill should be freed of any
amendment that might block it?
A-This is what 1 believe: The

passed. Now, if Congress want:
