House Postpones
Fair Bill Action

A resolution to fix New York
as the site for a 1864 worlds
fair was passed over by the
House yesterday. An objection
from Republicans left the pro-
posal on the calendar for pos
sible action this week.
Washington and Los Angeles
are competing with New York
for the fair.
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee shelved a reso-
luton identical to the one
pending in the House and
adopted instead a request that
the President appoint a COM
mission to choose a site.

Later the Arnold children

Mr.. Hammarskjold explained
that he had done so because
Laos itself had not asked for
a Council meeting. He said the
plea was the first specific re-
quest for military aid the U. N.

Bo Diddley turned out
his biggest hit in years
with his recent record of
"Say, Man"
The jazzbo exchanges
of two men debating the
relative ugliness of their
wives and girl friends
caught the fancy of
thousands of listeners.
Then the Checker record
company, riding the
popularity wave, decided
to try a follow7up record.
So Bo recorded a song
in a similar vein, called
"Say, Man, Back Again.
Another of his original
songs, "She's All Right"
was put on the reverse
side of the disc.
What happened then
lust illustrates the un-
predictability of the rec
ord business.
Instead of the second
"Say, Man" song, which
seemed to have a ready
made market, becoming
the more popular side,
"She'S All Right" took
over that position.
The records show the
composer of the songs as

Rock and Roll

Referring to the cover ar
ticle in the November Is is
sue of TEEN and the express
sion directed at rock and roll
that "it's a dead as a dodo,"
I'd like to tell you something.
If a dodo dies you won't
find very many people cry
ing over it, but rock and roll
should NOT be claSSed a
"dodo." I agree that rock and
roll is not as prominent in
the polls of hit records to-
day, but in the hearts and
voices of millions of fellow
teens you'll find remem-
brance of a great era of wild
music and favorite beats.
In fact if you took count
of the thousands of times
those "old" rock and roll rec
ords are played YOU'D be
deader than a dodo. In the
homes of teens all over,
where there's a party, you'll
find them all playing the
records with a beat" rock
and roll, and even for listen
ing pleasure they'll put on
the old favorites. So, may
be rock and roll has died in
the eye of the public but in
the hearts of teens, and my
friends agree, rock and roll
will always be remembered
as the greatest music and
will never really die.
Thanks to Don billiard and
Stan the Man for their un-
derstanding that rock and
roll will never die in men,

I'm writing this letter to
you about your write-up on
Rock and Roll is Dead"
Honestly, that write-up was
unfair in my opinion.
The way the writer COM
pared ElviS was mean. When
Elvis was number one, every
one praised him. In this
article you use" him to
show your point.
Sure, we know music is
changing a bit. The swing of
it isn't the same, no, I'll
admit that. But really, why
do you say rock and roll
is dead" a thing of the
past" and such. 1t isn't.
You see, music is a part
or rock and roll; dancing
is the other part. We are
trying to make our dancing
better and the music is get
ting better. We do have some
SwingerS today.
Elvis' hits, you say, are
fading away, but we can
never really forget ElVis.
Don't all hits fade out sooner
or later?
Why co you worry about a
new name? I think it's silly.
Back in the roaring 20's"
1 don't believe you must have
worried about a new name
when things changed. Well,
we teens aren't worrying
about a new name either.
1 don't think you should
have referred to our earlier
music as "wildneSs." 1t
wasn't and We loved it.
Sure the music is changing.
the dancing is changing, and
so do the people.
I'm Is and l love "rock and
roll" My mother said it was
silly to want to change the
name. Gee, what difference
would it make?
I like today's music. Some
of the latest singers you
named are my favorites, but
Elvis was also good.
Please don't try to change
our lingo" Time will do that.
PRISCILLA MCKAY.
My thanks to Don billiard
and Stan the Man for their
letter in the November Is is
sue of TEEN. I agree with
them 100 per cent. I, too, am
tired of the brassy, tinny rock
and roll. I listen to Don's
Record Club on WDON be-
cause he plays the records
with the old-time rhythm
and blues beat.
Years ago when WEAM was
a new station, Jay Perrin
and later a man named Rick
man had dee-jay shows fea-
turing rhythm and blues rec
ords. That was the opportu-
nifty for teens to really hang
onto a beat and swing. Those
were the days when The Plat
ters were so great and songs
like Earth Angel" and In
the Still of the Night" were
popular. Then came CONNER
cialiSm, Fabian, The Chip
munkS, and all that was
ruined.
I hope this trend toward
the smoother rhythm and
blues (my name for the trend
Don billiard couldn't name)
continues. Parents certainly
won't complain so m u n
about the loud music! May
Don billiard and Stan tne
Man succeed!
