Alabama Leader
Says Negroes Won't
Desert Democrats

Montgomery, Ala. (ANP) - A
labor leader and former NAACF
official last week disputed a pre-
diction by DR.. Martin Luther King
that Negroes are likely to desert
the Democratic party this year be-
lause Vice President Richard Nixon
has a more acceptable civil rights
philosophy.
E. D. Nixon, one time state
president of the NAACP here and
president of the Montgomery div
ision of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters declared there
will be Negroes who will support
the Democratic Party" regardless
of whom might be nominated for
president.
King told a Charleston, w. Va.
church group recently he felt a
vast majority of his race would
prefer Nixon, if he is the COP
standard bearer, over a man like
Sen. Lyndon johnson (D-TexD for
the Democrats.
King also predicted that Sen.
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.)
would be unacceptable to many
Negro voters because of his ap-
parent support by Southern con-
servatives.
While he said he didn't want to
take issue with Kings appraisal
of Negro voting in the presidential
election, Nixon said Kings views
do not meet the general approba-
ton of Negroes"
I'VE might as well face facts
that the President, whomever he
may be, cannot change or make
any laws himself, and if we get
any worthwhile civil rights laws
we will need help from all three
branches of government.
while Vice President Richard
Nixon may have impressed Rev
King with his talk, most Negroes
have learned a long time ago thai
talk is easy, but very few really
act.
LAS I see it Vice President Nixor
will have to do more than just
talk He will have to put some
of his talk into action to convince
some of the Negroes who have
been voting for a long time"
Nixon has said the way Negroe.
vote in the coming election may
depend on what kind of civil rights
law Congress enacts between nov
and November.

THE WEEK
IN RECORDS
BY ALBERT ANDERSON

First in the column this week is
an album which we believe holds
special interest to our readers, both
from the standpoint of artist and
material. Entitled Roy Hamilton
Sings Spirituals," the disc is the
most meaningful Of any contem-
pOrary works.
However, the album is by no
means limited to the Negro mar
ket since the spiritual has gained
worldwide acceptance, not only as
symbol of the deep spirituality
and reverence the Negro holds for
God, but frequently is an outpour-
ing of his trials and tribulations.
This is where Roy Hamilton comes
St. Paul recorder., 1960-02-19
Sing With Deapth

Singing a repertoire of IA care
fully selected spirituals, Hamilton,
whose familiarity with this type of
music goes back to the days of his
early youth when he sang (for
sheer love of it, in his church
choir, reveals a strong inner feel
ing and an uncommon artistry"
And EPIC, the label for which he
records is to be congratulated for
having the right man for the job.
You get an idea of the pathos,
the subtle joys, the intrinsic feel
ing and richness which the gifted
artist projects into his singing by
listening to such favorites as No
body Knows the Trouble I've
Seen" Down by the Riverside, !"
Sometimes I Feel Like a Mother
less Child" and The Lords Pray
err, for instance. Each conveys a
special message. Other selections
are unique and equally meaning
full.
That's why it is so difficult to
select the BEST songs on the re-
cord. It's a matter of taste and
preference on the part of the lis,
tener, who must eventually make
the choice.
However, this reviewer readily
assures it's readers that the songs
on this record represents deeply
moving performance by a man
whose background is strongly
rooted in the spirituals . EX-
CELLENT.

Battle OF Saxes

Topping off the albums review,
is "Cattin' with Coltrane and Quin-
ichette", on the enterprising PRES
TIGE label. This is a treat for
modern jazz adherents.
A battle of contrasting sax sty-
les, the disc features top saxmen
Johnny Coltrane and Paul Quin-
ichette backed up by several other
fine instrumentalists. And an in
teresting battle it is.
Coltrane with his strong, express
sive and imaginative playing, is
pftted against the cool, clever
Quinichette, whose fame dates back
to his days in the Count Basic
band. The result: A modern jam
session which runs the gamut
from swing to progressive.
The fare is equally varied, open
ing with the title tune and moving
on to such floaters as Sunday
and Exactly Like You" But
throughout, there is continuity
with the sidemen providing the
transition Tops in modern
jazz.

Dakota Scores With New Hit

DakOCa scores WIN new h1C
Swinging back to jazz, Dakota
Station, that breezy, bouncy Miss
of Late, Late Show fame, is out
with a new album which once
again demonstrates her versatility.
It's called More Than the Most"
and somehow the title rings true.
For on the CAPITOL recording,
Dakota gives her most, swinging
lightly, torching the ballads and
singing the blues.
Dakota has always been noted
for her ability to shift moods and
tempos, so that her singing is new
er lacking in interest. And this
is exactly what she does here.
Here is a sample of what she is
offering on this set: High on a
Windy Hill" plaintive song
which she breezes through in up
tempo styling; Some Days It's
Monday" a blues offering; ITS
You or No One" a love ballad
which she treats joyously, and
Goodbye, a torchy ballad into
which she projects sadness. On
the sentimental side, are such Of
ferings as September in the
Rain, Walking in the Rain" and
Love Walked in" three immortal
"evergreens."
And to top off the session, OAK
ota gets fine musical backing from
an orchestra conducted by Sid
Feller Though there are some
solos, the accompaniment is sub
dued and pleasant and allows the
listener to enjoy the full range

Tax Laws Rugged

n Because of tax laws, it more than
difficult for any big company to take
loss because of strike. If the steel
companies had lost money because
of the strike, all they would have had
to do was go back three years and
apply the deficit to tax returns for
the years since that time. Uncle Sam
