"A Big Hunk O. Love"
ElviS Presley's latest, is
a hit. of course. Elvis has
never made a record that
wasn't.
Where he'll go from here,
however, is a question.
big Hunk" is the last
record made in Nashville last
summer Just before Elvis
went overseas with the Army.
He got leave from his post
to attend the session.
With all the material from
that session now released,
there are reports RCA Victor
is scraping the bottom of the
barrel for material to issue
between now and the time
Elvis gets out Of the Army
next March.
big Hunk" is distin-
guished by the bass guitars
solo break in the middle.
Chef Atkins, who almost
never uses a bass guitar,
plays 1t.
Chef is the virtuoSo gui-
tarist who superviSes Vic
tors Nashville studios. He
hasn't appeared on many
Presley records because most
Of them were made away
from Nashville. The last rec
ord he made with Elvis was
"Heartbreak Hotel" years
ago.
Behind Elvis on this song
are a piano, bass. two drum
mers, three guitarists and
the Jordanaires vocal group.
big Hunk" is in the Pres
ley shouting-blues style, with
a big, rugged beat.

Presley Sighted?

This letter is being written
in response to the unfair
article which appeared in the
July 19 issue of TEEN maya
zine. I would like to say that
you have done a great injus-
tice to Elvis Presley. This ar
ticle of yours said that Elvis
came in SIXTH Tin the Gil
bert polD, while Ricky Mel
son came in FIRST. Mr.. Gil
bert, you are sadly mistaken
and misled.
In the first place, it would
be very interesting to know
where you conducted this So
called 'Nation-w wide" poll and
whom you interviewed.
Judging from the ages of
the children who like Ricky
Nelson in my neighborhood
I would say that the oldest
was approximately IA years
old. This does not say much
for Nelson except that he
appeals to very young and
very immature persons. OF
course, I am not stating this
as a fact, but this is pretty
much the picture in this Sec
ton alexandria,.
One cannot really put much
faith in your polls. This is
one consolation to me and
millions of other Elvis fans.
One time you took a poll to
see whether Elvis' popularity
was waning. OF course, you
said that he was slipping
badly.
Yes, Mr.. Gilbert, he really
took a slide-right to the
number one position on
everyone's popularity chart
but yours. To your surprise,
he has been top man on the
totem pole" for the past
couple of years or so, and
that's just where he is going
to stay for another long
while.
No matter what your polls
say, ElviS is not slipping.
When a person has the talent
and appeal that Elvis has, a
hundred Ricky Nelson's can
not take it away from him.
L. G.
The Gilbert polls, includ-
ing the one Which placed
ElriS Sirth, is conducted out
of NetO York By the Gilbert
Youth Research Co. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Gilbert, ElUis
has slipped" because the
boys hare deserted his fan
clubs. 1t seems they prefer
Ricky.

More on the Poll

I disagree with the results
of the top singers poll. Just
who did Mr.. Gilbert poll? I
seriously doubt that he took
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-08-02

the time to get accurate re-
suits.
Elvis Presley is not the
sixth most popular singer in
the United Statesl He is
and always will be number
one.
! call your attention to a
poll Dick Clark made q few
months ago. Over a million
votes were cast and l doubt
that the Gilbert poll had
that amount.
In the Clark poll ElVis was
voted number one male
singer by the teen-agers of
America. "One Night" BY
Elvis. was voted the favorite
song.
Even though Elvis is out
Of sight. he is not out Of
mind. His true fans are
counting the days til EIviS
will be back. And, we don't
like unfair polls which cast
aSpersions on our guy.
"AN ELvIS FAN"
I want to protest the poll
you covered Sunday, July 10.
How come frankie Avalon
was chosen as most promis-
ing male singer? This dis
tinction is usually reserved
for a new singer. not one who
has been singing for three
years. A new singer such as
Fabian or Thomas Wayne
should have been considered
for the title.
Another outrageous choice
was Ricky Nelson as best
male vocalist. He's got Just
about the worst voice I've
ever heard-and he looks like
a sick COW.
Did you hear the results of
the recent Dick Clark poll?
Wen, Elvis Presley was chosen
No. l singer in the country.
Now, there's a boy who can
sing. I certainly have more
faith in Dicks poll than
yours.
How about conducting an
other poll through your great
magazine. Maybe then we
can get some accurate results.
ELAINE.
I and thousands of other
teen-agers know that Elvis
Presley is the best singer in
the world, not Ricky Nelson,
Oh, Ricky is a fine singer,
but Elvis is much better. In
fact. Elvis is tremendous. He
has better looks, more style,
and more hit records than
Rick ever had. He also has
more fans, although your poll
indicates otherwise.
Moreover, Elvis Presley
worked hard to reach the top.
He didn't have the help of a
famous family as Ricky did.
So please give credit where
it is due.

Exchange
OfLubor
Chiefs Hit
BY the Associated Press

The State Department says
it is not committed to en-
courage exchanges Of labor
leaders between the United
States and Russia.
Such a commitment, a
spokesman said, would come
about only If a specific labor
exchange agreement should be
made under the recent signed
general exchange agreement
between the United States and
Russia for 1960-61.
United States reservations
with respect to labor leader
exchanges were made clear to
the Soviet government when
the general pact was nego-
tiated, Press Officer Joseph
Reap said yesterday.
Furthermore, Mr.. Reap said
that "the United States Gov
'ernment would not agree with
any exchanges in the labor
field without the concurrence
of the main stream of the
United States labor move
ment."
He made his comment after
being told that AFL-CIO Presi-
dent George Meany had as
sailed exchanges with the
Soviet Union on the ground
that labor men under Russia's
Communist system are not the
same as leaders of the free
labor movements in the United
States.

Republicans today hailed
their victory in the special Iowa
congressional election as evi-
dence of the party's resurgence
in the farm belt and a happy
portent for the 1860 elections.
Vice President Nixon and
Republican National Chairman
Thruston B. Morton said it
showed an upturn in Republic
can fortunes.
Senator Morton said it also
demonstrated that the Demo-
Gratis had failed to make Sec
retary of Agriculture Benson's
unpopularity among Midwest
farmers a winning issue.
Benson Still an Issue
He told a late afternoon news
conference yesterday that the
victory of Republican John XVI
to flll the seat vacated by the
death of Democrat Steven Car
ter indicated to him that "the
farmers don't hold one man re-
sponsible for their situation. :"
On the other hand, the
Democrats indicated they viii
continue to make Secretary
Benson an issue despite the
loss Of the Iowa seat.
Assistant Senate Democratic
Leader Mansfield of Montana
disputed Senator Morton's
views. He said both the Re-
publican and Democratic
candidates for the Iowa seat
opposed the Benson farm pro-
gram so that could hardly
have been the deciding issue"
Nixon Sees Upturn
The Vice President called the
Republican victory dramatic
evidence" Of the party's up
turn. IF we can continue this
rate Of progress, he added,
this means that the hopes
that have been expressed for
q Republican House of Repre-
sentatives in 1860 are based
on a solid foundation"
Senator Morton said Presi-
dent Eisenhower's leadership in
the cause of peace. plus an
intensive volunteer campaign
in all but four counties of the
district, were deciding factors.

Ron Brown, president of the
Flight Engineers International
Association, said yesterday 1859
will be the worst year in COM
mercial aviation history for
passenger fatalities.
In a letter to the unions ex-
ecutive board summing UP
activities for the year, Mr..
Brown said investigation of the
accidents and of airline jet
training and operating proce-
dures can only lead us to the
conclusion that the airlines
were woefully unprepared for

Mr.. Brown noted that the
two Boeing TOT crashes in 1859,
In which seven men were killed,
occurred on training flights.
I'VE are in agreement with
the Federal Aviation Agency
that the Jet training being given
by the airlines to the flight
crews is insufficient" he said.
I'm virtually every case the
airlines are giving less training
than the aircraft manufacture

Mr.. Brown said the flight
engineers have set up their own

In this connection, Mr.. Ste

end the growing gap between
wealth and poverty. In doing
so. we must create new supra

tions Of cooperation.
Thirdly, as long as nuclear
weapons exist. the danger Of
their use exists. We must
work for a disarmed world
under law and organized police
power-the only final answer
to the threat Of annihilating
war.
Asks Open World
"And lastly we must extend
as far as lies in our power the
concept Of an open world. For
it is in our acceptance of
variety and differences, har-
monized but not suppressed.
that we in our turn work not
only with the trend Of history
but in accord with the in

Our faith is that in the
long contest the totalitarians

is not just to win a cold war

Big Foreign Aid Pool

NEW YORK, Dec. II (AP)
l-Adlai E. Stevenson proposes
THAT the free world pool its re-
sources for q 40-year. $500 bill
lion investment propram for
lunderdeveloped nations. 1t
would be nearly 20 times cost
lier than Americas Marshall
Plan.
In q major foreign policy out
line in the quarterly magazine,
Foreign Affairs, Mr.. Stevenson
writes:
I'VE shall be engaged in this
program for at least 40 years
1. Informed opinion tells us
that at least IS billion a year is
needed-from all sources, pub
lie and private, domestic and
foreign.
I'VE shall have to coordinate
all aspects Of the effort with
other nations-not only invest
ment but opportunities for
trade, international liquidity
and so forth.
ITO get the maximum results
the developed nations must all
cooperate. The time has Ger
tainly come for other countries
to share more Of the common
burden Of assistance. In such
circumstances the United States
cannot expect to have full con-
troll and the use of all its ex-
penditures for development
puposes."
Comprehensive View
Mr.. Stevenson has said he is
not a candidate for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination
next year. But Foreign Affairs
called today's 7.500-word article
his most comprehensive discus
sion Of foreign policy since his
1856 campaign for the presi-
dency.
Mr.. Stevenson wrote:
ITO me the two most danger
Gus realities we now face are
the multiplication Of nuclear
weapons and the disparity in
living standards between the
rich nations and the poor.
so I suggest we must meet
the crises of our time in four
