WHO SAYS?. Two pieces
of modern art have been stolen
recently from State College and
from the Chapel Hill unit of
the Greater University Of North
Carolina.
In reporting the thefts, art-
lists at the two UNC branches
said the pieces were expensive,
high-priced, etc. Who sets the
prices?
Then this past weekend
Wake County commissioners
found a piece of land south
east of Raleigh upon which they
would like to place school
building. Upon investigating
they found the price of the land
would be upwards Of $4,000
an acre.
Now if we could let the art
experts set the price on the
land which Wake County must
buy and let the landowner
decide on the price of the mod
ern art, the theft losses might
not be so great and school
costs in Wake County would go
down appreciably.

Miss O'Connor, who is a mem
Der Of the Chicago branch ex-
ecutive committee and a mem
Der of the national board, pre-
sented a sharp contrast with
the earlier witness. Mrs. Lo-
pushok.
Where Mrs. Lopushok was

curl dripping to her shoulder,
Miss O'Cornor wore q tiny hat
over her conservative hair-do
and peereo brightly at the sub
committee through thick
glasses.
Mrs. Lopushok's words spilled
out in a torrent, but Miss
O'Connor weighed every SEN
tence and words we're precisely
spoken and to the point.
She said it was her opinion
that AGVA was being run by
Jackie Bright, the national ad-
mlnistrative secretary, through
a rubber stamp executive COM
mittee.
Conditions "IntOIerable"
Asked about working condi-
tons in the Chicago clubs, she
said that conditions were in
tolerable and she cosfirmed the
testimony Of the club enter
tanners.
These poor kids have been
exploited to the point where
you wonder if they're not the
forgotten citizens" she said.
She explained that she will
not accept night club engage
NESTS herself and that very few
legitimate entertainers work in
these clubs.
Miss O'Connor told about her
difficulties as q member of the
vocal minority at conventions
and executive meetings.
She testified that at the
AGVA convention in June, 1860,
when Mr.. Bright announced
that the union had reached an
agreement with the American
Federation of Musicians, she
jumped up to ask what she
should tell the exotic dancers
working to photograph records
in the clubs.
One Of the New York repre-
seentatives. she testified, asked
her why she brought up con-
troversial subjects at q con-
vention. She said that Mr..
Bright told her it was not nee
essary to explain anything to
the dancers in Chicago and to
ignore the fact that they were
working to photograph records
unless the musicians union
complained.
At a board meeting, she tes-
titled, she raised the question
of bad conditions in the dress
ing rooms and pointed out that
the woman entertainers had to
change costumes in toilets open
to the general public.

The loss of her daughter was

links among organized crime

Like witnesses before her she
testified, that the union did
nothing for her and that it did
no good to complain about con-
ditions in the clubs because
nobody in the union pays any
attention" 81

Mrs. Lopushok testified that
on one occasion she had at
tended a union meeting as a
spokesman for the complaining
girls. She said when she got
UP to talk, an argument de-
veloped and coffee cups and
doughnuts flew. NShe never tried

She testified that she was

at the clubs but was not a very
good mixer because she was
too bashful."
Since she had just been dis

refused to strip on the stage,

and gangster and an important
figure in organized crime in the
Chicago area"
Mr., Spencer Swore that two
clubs owned by Aiuppa have
been notorious for years as clip
joints and the worst kind of
strip joints, where lewd and
obscene dancing, stripping to
complete nudity, B-drinking,
prostitution and every kind of
immortality and public indie
cency have flouriShed without

thorities despite a constant
barrage of criticism from pulpit,

plead the Fifth Amendment on
grounds of Standardization
Chairman Mcclellan told him
sternly:
IF these things are true, you
are a cheap racketeer. You're
just q parasite living of the
flesh and blood of human
beings"
Another witness, Martin Cav
anaugh, branch manager of
AGVA in Chicago; testified that
he had not been allowed to
police any of the clubs during
his previous term as branch
manager from 1859 to 1860,
when he resigned. IL
He resumed the position in
Februarg, 1862. His wife, Linda
Compton, is a national board
member of AGVA and a singer
employed in one of Aiuppa's
Cicero clubs.
He told the subcommittee
that Ernie Fast, who had been

AGVA until he was fired this
year, stood in the way of en-
forcement.

He contended that Fast had
ordered him not to enforce the

requirement that club owners
post enough bond to cover the
