and along with the incompatible
Duke consider the great bands
that were fronted by Benny Good
man, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw
and you will be speaking of music
art, not cacaphony of suggestive
repetitions and dirty words.
Duke at 81, is still composing,
playing and directing some of the
greatest music of this, or any, era.
In July, at the Famous Jazz Fes-
tival held annually in Newport, R.
l., Ellington proved las if anyone
ever doubted it), that "the Filing

exciting thing in the business" A

played for the Alpha convention) +,
and the inimitable Duke was bound
for Chicago for long engagement

Informed sources, however, sub
sequently have represented the
governor as having decided not to
oppose the committee-recommeded
pupil assignment concept. The side
of the advocates of the assignment
plan has been strengthened appre-
ciably by two recent federal dis
trict court decisions.

lottesville and Arlington school
boards to begin making plans for
desegregating their schools, have
been interpreted in some quarters
as implying or limiting that the
proposed student assignment law
might have some merit in the
states effort to prevent compul-
sorry Indignation.

manslaughter, told the court he
struck his wife with a piece of
wood. He denied, however. that
it was the same piece of wood
