Special New Year Entries
Once again another year Is
speeding to a close and q new
year (1961) IL unfolding. And once
again 1t Is my pleasure to extend
to record fans across the nation
sincere hope Of the entire AMP
family for prosperous and music
filled New Year.
II has been a pleasure to serve
you during the past year, and we
look forward to serving you on an
even broader, basis In the months
ahead. "H,
The following is an example of
the type and diversity Of material
which your reviewer plans for your
listening pleasure in 81:
Gene Ammons Blows
'BosS TENOR" - Prestige LIP
(71sO): Tunes: ''TIittin' the Jug" I"
"Close Your Eyes" MY Romance" !"
Canadian Sunset" Blue Am
MONS" Confirmation" and "Sav-
ory." Personnel: AmmonsJ tenor
saxophone; Tommy Flanagan, pi-
ano; Doug Watkins, bass; Arthur
Taylor, drums and Ray Barretto,
conga.
AS a saxophonist, Ammons has
always been a blowing man, and
on this LIP he lives up to his rep
utation as he and his sidemen runs
through some modern showpieces
as well as a couple Of standards
Of the sentimental variety
However, he seems to find more
latitude and is more at ease on the
modern tunes, and really hit the
beam on a swinger called 'FHittin'
the Jug" Savoy" Is also of the
flighty variety, and Genes play
ing here seems to reflect the days
when he "jammed' in the Windy
City with Sonny Stitt at the then
famous ballroom Of that name
But Gene in this album also proves
he can be soulful, as shown by his
treatment Of the romantic tunes
Canadian Sunset" and MY Ro-
nance" In the latter case he
is subdued and subtle The en-
tire fare stacks up big for Am.
mons, and should add to his ever
growing listening audience.
Barclay Plays Quincy Jones'
TWILIGHT TINE" - Mercury
LIP (NGG 204SS); Eddie Barclay and
his orchestra plays arrangements
by Quincy Jones.
Eddie Barclay Is a Frenchman
and Quincy Jones, as records fans
well know, Is an American, but
the two blend well together. On
this album Of the sentimental var
iety, Barclay plays mood music
arranged by Jones in his usual
slxillful manner What win sur
prise the jazz bluffs, though, Is that
Jones, as arranger, appears to be
straying In strange territory, with
these entries, and in the company
OF Barclay Yet Quincy Is quite
at home In both respects and Is
weIl acquainted with European
jazz, having recently completed a
successful tour Of that continent
His musical teaming with Bar
clay here results in music that Is
richly international and distinctive
Massed trings, muted brass,
light percussion and human voices
all blend In this session, that feat
ures both mood and slightly swim
ing dance music A BIG EN-
TRY.

The Kennedy campaign had been
aided UNNECESSARILY by the appear

Earlier, q flying squadron Of

get her to join the boycott.
At the end of the school day, a
white mother left the school with
her child about 20 minutes after
u. s. marshals escorted the Negro
pupil home.
For a block the mother and her
child walked unescorted because a
fire truck passed, blocking the

rounded her, arguing.
The harried mother finally
banged one of the shouting pick

A Roman Catholic priest, the Rev.
Father Jerome Drolet of subur-

crowd at this time. Father Drolet
had accompanied Foreman into

Another shouted: "The Bible

Mainly, the boycott of the two
integrated schools-William Frantz

Of the University Of Chicago, who
was charged with receiving stolen
goods, was very much in the news
some two years ago when he tried
to enroll at Mississippi Southern
College, q state supported school
for whites located here. While he
was on the college campus at
tempting to enroll officers searched
his car and repeatedly found some
whisky in the car. Kennard lost
his bid to enroll at the college.
In the trial before Judge Hall
last week for receiving stolen
goods, Kennard was charged with
receiving four sacks of chicken
feed from tenn-aged Negro
youth, who he is alleged to have
persuaded to steal the feed be-
cause no store would sell it to him
on credit. Kennard is reported
as operating q chicken business.
The seven year prison sentence
given Kennard by Judge Hall rep
resents the maximum sentence un-
der state law for the crime with
which he was charged.
The NAACP Secretary in his
statement said Of the trial, "In a
court room of segregationists ap-
parently resolved to put Kennard
legally away, the all-white jury
found Kennard equity as charged
in only ten minutes.
In the hearing Friday, should
Judge Hall decide to cite Evers for
contempt of court he will be sub
ject to a fine and at 3O-day jail
sentence.
Attorney Jack H. Young, of
Jackson, will represent Evers at
the Friday hearing.

chard within the city limits Of
Mountain View in the San Fran
cisco Bay area.
The Jessup report also described
a survey last August, when investi-
gators found q labor camp of l.
600 people near Yuba City with no
medical facilities and no running
water.
Equipped with Anticipated COM
munal toilets, the camp was the
scene of a severe diarrhea epidemic
whicht hit almost every family
while the survey was in full swing,
it was reported.
The camp also was riddled with
contagious skin infections, acute
tnsilitis, asthma, anemia, tubercu-
losis, heart disease, arthritis and
other diseases.
The study also reported that only
four of the states counties pro-
vided any special medical facilities
for seasonal farm workers in out
lying areas. Health departments in
IS counties fatty refused to accept
migrants for medical care except in
emergencies.

Stirs Conference

San Jose, Calif.-The prospects
for state and federal action to raise
farm workers and their families to
first-class status were bolstered
here by CALIFORNIA; second annual
Conference on Families Who Fol-
low the Crops.
The conference, sponsored by the
Governors Advisory Committee on
Children and Youth and attended
by some $50 representatives of un-
ion, civic, social welfare, medical
and farm groups, approved wide
range of recommendations.
The conference proposed specific
actions in the areas of health, edu-
cation, technology, employment,
housing, citizenship, welfare and
community action.
The conference was stirred by a
documented study of the ill-health
and disease whoich afflict farm
worker families.

The study, carried out by DR..
Bruce Jessup of Stanford Univer-
sity at the direction of the State

Kennedy Got
Big Lift From
lew York Labor

New York. - Forty-five highly
precious electrical votes were won
decisively by Pres.-elect Kennedy
following what political observers
regarded as an outstanding cam
paign performance by organized
labor in state and city.
The big triumphe came in the
metropolitan area where the five
boroughs gave the Democratic
winner an almost 300, 000-vote ma
jority over Vice Pres. Nixon. In
the state itself, Kennedy's major
ity was more than 100000 votes.
AFL-CIO unions in New York
City in early October had put on
q tremendous drive among work
ers and their families for a big
registration. That was universally
considered to have been highly
successful. The next big question
was, would all those registrants
