Recent structures against
the music enjoyed by teen
ayers makes her take type

us there really any bad
music?
II doubt it. After all. If
one person likes jazz, an
other person likes opera, no
one can prove that either
person is more correct, more
to be admired, more any
thing, for that matter.
THE way I look at it, it
is merely a matter Of taste.
II can't understand why
these people want to change
our taste in music. Is it
making us delinquent? Will
we be gangsters when we
grow up? Will we have dis
torted minds? Will we be
dreamers? Will we become
bad Americans because we
like this jumping music? Sort
of ridiculous. isn't it?

II have asked around and
found that there have been
campaigns going on against

young. or were they ever?

they cannot be a part of it?

tastes in music will change,
we will become more serious

THE POLITICAL MILL
President to Fight Defense Critics
By GOULD LINCOLN

When President Eisenhower
delivered his state-of-the-
Union message to Congress
last January. he was loudly
applauded as he declared en-
phatically that he, personally,
was going to see that our
national defense organization.
the Department Of Defense
- more popularity known as
the Pentagon-be revamped
for the safety Of the country
and for the saving Of the
taxpayers money. In those
days, the Russian Sputniks
were alone in outer space.
There was q clamor for re-
organization, for q car to
handle this and that about
our own satellite and missile
programs. Today. the Pres.
ident has produced a program
Of reorganization Of the
Pentagon. The walls Of OPP
position that have gone up
on Capitol Hill are amazingly
strong. Vested and political
interests have become vocal
and the principal criticism
is that the program will make
a car Of the Secretary Of
Defense.
The President at his latest
press conference said he in
tended to battle for his pro-
gram to the limit, going to
the people for support. His
first widely broadcast appeal
will be delivered next Thurs
day, a national broadcast and
televised address to the Amer
lean Society Of Newspaper
Editors here in Washington
Will the President have a
sympathetic audience i'm
mediately before him and
among the millions who will
see and hear him beyond
the confines Of the meeting
place?
Poll Backs President
Many assertions have been
made in recent weeks that
the President has fallen in
personal popularity with the
American people. This idea
has been asSiduously spread
abroad by the Democrats.
Here is an issue which the
President is backing to the
limit. The peoples response
will be followed closely. A
poll. unique in character,
taken by Representative Per-
kins Bass of the I'd congress
sional district, New Hamp-
shire. throws light on the
question of Eisenhower sup
port among the rank and file
Of the people. 1t shows. in
deed, that President Eisen-
hover is still as strong as
horseradish. This is a Re-
publican congressional dis
trict. but it contains several

IL seems that this who
Struck-John" stuff means
that something is being de-
claimed against to cover up
a more relevant thing. A lot
Of talk. etc.
That is. the question should
not be who struck John. 4"
but how much is John hurt,
the more pertinent question.
All Of us. teens and older,
have been victims of this sort
of thing. and can sympathize.
The truth is, as we see it,
that such structure as there
is today against young music
is not so much against the
music as against some Of the
words.
And not against some Of
the words so much as the
sly undertones of those who
wrote them.
The tune is good, often
very good. but the older per-
son detects an underlying bit
OF sickness somewhere, and
it makes him uneasy.
You see. he or she has had
a much longer tenure of life,
and does not view it any
longer with the dewy eyes Of
youth.
The older person recog-
nizes a thing or two in some
of the words unknown, lit
orally, to the youngster.
1t is this recognition, we
believe. that sparks most of
the criticism. Maybe the old
sters have something here,
we don't know, something
that is not Who struck John
at all. but right on the bulls
eye.
1t would seem that our
young friends might be q bit
selective in what they choose
to listen to. But how can
they? The ugly side of life
is unknown to them, mostly,
and fortunately.
So
We agree with Celirna that
there is no such thing as bad
music. II any Of it seems
bad, 1t is only because some
thing has been added from
the outside, as ii were; the
old circus hoochie-macooch
music only seemed bad be-
cause Of connotations: actu-
ally. it is merely oriental beat
and rhythm.
why can't they leave us
alone?"
They never did. and they
never will, so don't worry
about 1t. just put on your
favorite records, and forget
EN-. but at the same time re-
member that there Is such a
thing as acceptance and re-
lection. Don't be easy vic
tins Of sly ones who are try
ing subtly to direct you along
wrong paths. Be a bit snobs
bish, II you please, even with
your music, and especially
with your music. It's worth

Los observadores politicos de Rio de

nista, todavia p~roscrito y d~ltimamente dividi-

En- tanto que Kubitscheck, Sc ha mante-
nido por sobre la campana, negandose a
aprobar a los candidates de partido, Goulart

PANAMERICANfSM BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS

AS a great surprise to all, the discussions of the
Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the American Republics,
recently held In Washington, ID. c., took place behind
closed doors, without permitting the representatives of
the press, local or foreign, to have access to the confer
ence room or giving them adequate facilities to obtain
the necessary information to do their indispensable job
of public information.
If this had happened in any of the Latin American
capital cities where the governments are ~antidemOcratic,
no one would be surprised. But it turns to be rather
unusual that in a country of the high democratic status
Of the United States, the authorities did not allow the
representatives of the press to hear the debates or have
unnecessary facilities in rooms adjacent to the confer
ence hall. Some correspondents who had travelled here
from Latin America to cover and transmit all the details
Of this meeting of Ministers, practically failed in their
mission, and they have to take back with them an
sessions developed, and to which they could not attend
because they were radically barred by agents and guards
of the State Department. M
To triumph, Panamericanism needs the support of
the people. Panamericanism behind closed doors can
not progress, because more than the support of the gov
ernments, it needs the support, the faith and the enthu-
siasm of the people. Panamericanism Is democracy,
because the backbone theology of the regional system
formed by the t%wenty-one Republics is of an eminently
democratic essence. And there cannot be sound de-
mOcracy when the press Is subjected to restrictions and
cannot carry out effectively its healthful and necessary
informative function. Democracy nurses from free in.
formation. Therefore, what has just happened In Wa.
%shington, the seat of an eminently republican govern
ment, has come as a deep surprise and has been the
object of strong criticism. 9,r AL

without reserves that these are things that happen only

the %fulfillment Of theii mission of public information,
SO beneficial to Panamercanism, they could not enter
