The 48th annual Roof Garden which was held Saturday night showed the great need for new auditorium.
 The school auditorium was not only packed to capacity but the railways as well as the stairways were damned with people trying to see or hear the program and later to participate in the activ- ities of the evening.
 The program, under the direc- ton of Mrs. G. R. Jackson, was well received and included many interesting as well as impromptu acts.
 Stars of the show were Marge Bohrer, who portrayed Sophie Tucker; Shirley Doyle who parti- cipated throughout the program with songs of different eras in the 50 years of life in Nome, and Carrie McLain, who brought tears to the eyes of many with her rendition of "Silver Threads Among the Gold.'

Rock m Roll Ban

1t took courage of sort for the
policy-making officials OF the Armory to
ban further rockin' n rollin' in the big
hall They risked being regarded as
squares" by the lads with the duck-tail
haircuts and their jiving girl friends.
But we commend the Armory folks for
their decision in the light of what has
happened here and elsewhere in the
recent past.
The trouble is not with rock n roll
music itself. Some people can take it
or leave it, with no i'll effects. But it
has weird effects on some of the more
uninhibited elements of the younger
generation, as Armory officials and police
found out last July. The music" seems
to whip up frenzy among some teen
ayers that is apt to lead to wild disorders,
including hair-pulling, fisticuffs and
worse. During the July uprising, Chief
Murray had to dispatch more than two
score policemen to restore order. He had
TO call men from other duties to quell
the Disturbance drain on manpower
that the department could III afford.
Other cities have had similar sad expert
ences with rock n roll concerts" Thus,
the decision to ban them at the Armory
was a sensible one.

nunciation Of the use of such,
and general control of arma-
mentS. -.
I'VE do not hesitate to de-
clare, as we have in previous
allocutionS. that the sum total
of those three precautions as
an object of international
agreement, is an obligation in
conscience of nations and of
their leaders. We said the sum
of those precautions. because
the reason they are morally
binding is also that equal
security be established for all.
If, however, only the first point,
concerning experimentation, be
put into effect. the result would
be that that condition would
not be verified, the more so
that there would be given suf-
ficient reason to doubt sincere
desire to put into effect the
other two conventions. We
speak so frankly because the
danger of insufficient proposals
concerning peace depends in
large part on the mutual sus'
picions that often trouble the
dealings of the powers con-
cerned. each accusing the other
in varying degrees of mere
tactics. even of a lack of sin
cerlty in a matter basic to the
fate of the whole human
race. . :"

Of the ball club. Because be-
lieve that people who want a

support one, I'd be entirely
willing to make q contribution
TO the ball club at the begin
ming Of the season, which con-
tribution would be sufficient to
pay for a few admission tickets.

Revolt in BUDAPEST

II one Is to judge from the Scanty in
formation which has filtered out of Buda-
pest, the Communist authorities there
have decided to put down the wild revolt
which has swept that once-lovely Hun
garian capital. And of course they can
do this. Half-armed students and workers
cannot hold out for long against troops,
tanks, planes and machine guns. If the
entrenched Communist authorities are
ruthless enough, if they are prepared to
kill enough people, they can put an end
to the resistance in Budapest.
But they cannot kill the spirit which
really armed this rebellion. They cannot
suppress that yearning for bread and
little freedom which drives men into the
streets, to die by the scores and hundreds
in the face of overwhelming odds. Least
OF all can they satisfy the appeal of one
Budapest radio broadcast, which prom
ised that Soviet troops would return to
their bases when order is restored, and
which called upon the workers to please
receive our friends and allies with love-"
1t is impossible, at this time, to know
precisely why the uprising in Poland has
been tolerated, while the more violent
eruption in Hungary has been met with
such stern repressive measures. We
should not forget that all of these COM
muniSt leaderS-RuSSian, Polish and
Hungarian-are pretty much of the same
school. Perhaps the Russians felt that
the situation in Poland, given measure
Of national freedom, could be contained.
Or it may be that the Hungarian revolt,
since it was the Hungarian Communist
government which called on the Russians
for help, was directed against both
brands OF ommunisnl-Hungarian and
Russian alike. Still another possibility
is that the Communist hierarchy decided
that Poland was all that could be di-
gested at this time-that Hungary could
not be permitted to slip its chains in the
same week.
OF one thing, however, we may be
certain. The process of diSintegration
which has set in in the Communist en-
pire is not going to be permanently
checked without the most brutal sup
preston. The Poznan rising and the
East German riots were beaten down.
But the ferment continued. If Poland
and Hungary go the way of Yugoslavia,
Czechoslovakia and East Germany lie
ahead. SO what will the Communist
bosses try to do? Will they fall back
on naked force, and if so, will it be
enough in the long run to beat down the
centuries-old craving of men for little
freedom, little better place in the sun?

Our Sworminq Prisons

1t will not be long before this city is
faced with the necessity las necessity has
been measured in the past) of spending
seven or eight million dollars for addi-
tional prison facilities
In the past ten years the Districts
prison population has more than doubled.
The overcrowding has already become a
serious problem, with an inevitable
worsening of conditions as established
trends continue.
Perhaps the only answer is to build
more prisons. But before we accept that
answer as final, some formal effort should
be made to study any practical alterna-
tive. The alternative might lie in ex-
pansion Of the principle of probation by
the courts and parole of imprisoned
offenders. Such an expansion is imprac-
tical il not impossible without a SUBJ
Stantial increase of personnel now ad-
miniStering probation and parole. That
would cost money. But this cost should
be carefully examined and weighed
against the constantly increasing cost Of

latious. The immediate increase in money

these separate efforts even

ened by a primitive and Ges-
