Each time I sit down to fill this space I try to be sure what I choose to write about is both timely and interesting. Most of the times I am preoccupied with the civil rights struggle. On occasion I spin a little Human interest or even seek to advise. From where I sit ( and I am not in an ivory tower) I enjoy the ever changing view which is mine of men and events. The primary task that I have is to put all of them in a perspective with meaning but I am realistic enough to know, the opinions I express need not necessarily be those which the majority of my readers would agree with. Any journalist who thus exposes himself regularly lives between brickbats and bouquets.

LOS ANGELES NPI — Actress-singer Diahonn Carroll recently shared the tragedy of the Vietnam War when her husband was killed in action in the Asian hotspot. Miss Carroll, the exquisite and alluring former star of such Broadway hits and movies as 'No Strings/ 'House of Flowers,' 'Paris Blues' and 'Hurry Sundown,' made the disclosure of her husband's death in an interview. She is scheduled to become the first Negro woman to have her own television series (on NBC) next fall.

Frankly, it would be a lonely journalistic world for any of us if we never received any disagreements. In my book, the more important thing is that the bouquets have thus far outnumbered the brickbats. Writing a column is indeed a labor of love, but I will be lost I am sure, when the time approaches that I cannot pursue it anvmore.

He had worked on The Forum as a youngster and was advised to attend Tuskegee by the publisher, John H. Rives. We refer to Richard Warren, one of the best linoptype operators in the business.

He could do everything in print shop and do it well. Since leaving The Recorder he has worked for a white printing firm and recently retired from The Indianapolis Star-News where he began employment in January of 1957. ‘Dick’ Warren is taking it easy these days, enjoying the breeze with friends but still working as a linotypist in a local shop. His son is a linquist with the Federal Government in Washington, D.C.

Twentieth Century Fox's* ‘The Sweet Ride,' produced by Joseph Pasternak, was scored - by Pete Rugolo with the title tune penned by Lee Hazelwood. Theme of the oicture revolves about surfing with the ‘sweet ride' referring to a perfect wave. Dusty will sing the title tune over the film's credits and it will be released as a single by Philips Records, a division of Mercury Record Corporation. Directed by Harvey Hart, ‘The Sweet Ride' stars Michael Sarazin, hot Hollywood newcomer recently seen in Twentieth's ‘The Flim Flam Man.' Also starring is Anthony Fran-

NEW YORK (NPI)-TV or not TV-that's the question for black performers who usually find that there's no room for them in one of the nation's most booming industries. The city Commission on Human Rights has heard network officials aver that Negroes don't fit well in many TV roles. At the same time, commission officials expressed shock that black performers so seldom were given video roles. The com mission was particularly concerned about use of Negroes in television commercials. According to Michael L. Vallon, the commission's counsel, only four per cent of TV commercials used minority group members. Vallon said only 314 of 7,432 commercials produced by 40 advertising agencies used Negroes or Puerto Ricans, and only about one-third of these used them as product principals. Television network officials were even more vehement in defending their virtual exclusion of black performers from TV programs. According to Michael H. Dann senior vice-president for programing, Columbia Broadcasting system, ‘TV is escapism and likes to deal with America as it is for the most part. ‘And for the most part there are not that many Negro judges, Negro governors, Negro executives, or Negro Senators. The producer or writer approaches the conceptual fact so as to reflect the scene as it is.’ Jeff Burton Continued from Page 10 thought about acting as a career. ‘I just nope that I helped that boy as much as he helped me,' Burton concluded. Besides his co-starring role in ‘Planet ofthe Apes,’ Burton has had parts on the ‘Peyton Place' television series and the Academy Award nominated short subject, ‘The Legend of Johnny Blue Eyes.’ In the Arthur P. Jacobs production, ‘Planet of the Apes,’ Burton plays the part of one of three astronaunts who travel through space to discover a new civilization on a new planet. What they discover is a planet inhabited by a simian society where the ape is superior and man is a low form of animal life. The film also stars the eminent Shakesperian actor Maurice Evans, Kim Hunter and Roddy McDowall, and is directed by Franklin J. Schafftier from a script based on the novel by Pierre Boulle, author of the Academy Award winning, ^The Bridge on the River Kwai.’ >■4 . -- ciosa and Jacqueline Bisset, another newcomer to films and the center of recent attention as the girl selected to replace Mia Farrow in Frank Sinatra’s ‘The Detective.’ A recent Dusty Springfield recording, ‘The Look of Love’ also was derived from a film, Columbia’s ‘Casino Royale.’

FRONTIERS OF FAITH: "Crisis in the Nation: White Racism" — Part one .‘n a four-part series talcing a close look at the report of the President's Notional Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders. Host for series is The Rev. Dr. William B. Kennedy. Guests will be The Rev. David R. Hunter and author Jams Baldwin. (Color.)

Black people, he said, are seldom seen on first -class flights or in Beverly Hills swimming pools, or at the 21 Club, or as guests at white wedding parties. As a result, he explained, writers had been hesitant to present ‘artificial situations.’ One commission official noted the contradiction in Danns remarks. On the one hand, Dann acknowledged that ‘TV is escapist'; then, he maintained that the medium must present American life as it is. ‘Dann can't have it both ways, ’ the official remarked. ‘Negroes can be excluded-if the networks want-because black people don’t on the average, do the things upper-class whites do. ‘But black performers could as easily be included on TV programs on the basis that what Negroes do is a central aspect of American life today.' Another commission official noted that there were many black lawyers, physicians, and district attorney's. Thus, he said, the Negro could easily be depicted in everyday lite-if the networks so chose. Mallard resigns Continued from Page 8 1957-58 ( (20-5). 1958-59 (206), 1959-60 (23-3), 1960-61(22-5), 1961-62 (17-7), 1962-63(22-4), 1963-64 (21-2), 1964-65 (233), 1965-66 (20-5), 1966-67(23-3), 1967-68 (22-5). Eight of Roosevelt's 10 holiday tourney championships have been piled up during Mallard's • reign. Roosevelt's ratic of success under the coach has been 2:1 all the way down the line: 8 sectionals, 4 regionals 2 semistates and one state championship. Until this past season, the state championship repeatedly eluded the persistent Mallard. His nearest miss until March 16 came in 1965. State writers made Roosevelt a near-unani-mous choice, but Fort Wayne North foiled the Panthers in the afternoon session, then succumbed to Indianapolis Washington in the title game. However, Mallard picked up state championships as head coach in track (1951-52-54) and cross country (1962). His coaching experience includes 10 years in football. He turned the football team over to present coach LenDouglas after coaxing the Panthers to a 7-2 record and their first of six undisputed Big Six city championships in 1947. Mallard’s cross country teams won six straight city titles from 1960-65. When Roosevelt joined the Northwestern Conference, Mallard had the pleasure of coaching the school’s first league champion in history. His 1965 team was unbeaten in the NWC, compiling a 15-0 record.

Continued from Page 8 Lou Johnson, Glenn Beckert, and Randy Hundley will be the big stars. However the pitching staff will get off to a slow start and the hustling Cubbies just won't be able to make up the early season losses. 6. ATLANTA BRAVES. This club has to be one ofthe mysteries of baseball. With hitters like Hank Aaron, Felipe Alou, Joe Torre and Rico Carty it is difficul t to explain why the Braves have not finished higher than 4th place since 1960. Their biggest weakness is pitching, so what did they trade for? That’s right-another slugger, Peror Johnson. 7. LOS ANGELES DODGERS. Walt Alston is a capable baseball manager, but he can't win if he doesn't have the ‘horses.’ The Dodgers of '967, minus Koufax and Wills, were a leaderless crew. Baseball is a team game and you must play as a unit to win. The addition of Zoilo Versalles will help to move the Dodgers up from 8th place. Bill Singer and Jim ‘Mudcat’ Grant will give a boost to a faltering pitching staff. 8. PHILADELPHIA PHtLLIES. Over managing, the loss of Jim Bunning, and a damaged Richie Allen are the reasons why the Phillies will continue their downward spin. The fans in the ‘city of brotherly love' will receive some joyous moments from Chris Short, Rich Wise, Bill White, Tony Gonzalez, and John

Briggs.

9. HOUSTON ASTROS. Despite having several all-stars, Joe Morgan and‘Rusty’Staub, on the squad, this expansion team continues to flounder. The Astrodome lures the customers but is proving to be a poor substitute for a baseball farm system. JO. NEW YORK METS. For the first several years sports fans accepted this team as a corn edy of errors. But now they are beginning to ask when are the Mets going to make progress? My old buddy, Gill Hodges, has my symphathies when he open the 1968 campaign as the manager of the hapless Mets. Tom Seaver, Tommie Agee, Ron Swoboda and Bud Harrelson are the bright lights of the

cellar.

The Stars

.with LEE IVORY

Lovely Sonya Davis, the new singing sensation from Chicago, is now known as a ‘recording artist’ and great things have already begun to happen for her. She's the girl who signed with Tel-Fi Sound Studios and will be a featured artist on the Orr label, a subsidiary of Tel-Fl. In keeping with the ton of advance publicity on her first .ecord, Miss Davis recorded the Rudy Stevenson tune t I’m Gonna Leave you, ’ and an original song written by Jim Porter, president of Tel-Fi. ‘I’m Gonna Leave You,'which was written in 5/4 time is reminiscent of the Dave Brubeck tune, ‘Take Five, ' in that there are five beats to every measure as opposed to the customary four. And the tune has a very definite jazz flavor to it. But the message, if there 'eally is one, is all ‘soul,’ as it jvere. Stevenson, who formerly played guitar and flute with Nina Simone, will probably not recognize the tune since another verse has been added by this writer... but we had to do It for proper timing. . Hope Rudy wil give me some of those writer’s royalties! Porter's song ‘Misleading,’ is a sorrowful tale which borders on the blues and strings have been added to Miss Davis lament. It shows promise of being a big record for her. In the meantime, plans are being made for her to spend some time in Cleveland on a promotion tour which will probably find her working the ‘Ken Hawkins Shew’ an.l Upbeat,’ both teen dance oarty television programs. She has already been set for an appearance later this month on the Art Roberts' ‘Swinging Majority' television show, and feelers have been sent out to Mike Douglas, Woody Woodbury Johnny Carson, and Joey Bishop. After seven successful months at the Pumpkin Room in Chicag o, Miss Davis is currently the featured attraction at Alfie's a plush niteclub in Milwaukee. Wis. ‘This is one ofthe first places I started singing,’ said sultry Sonya, ‘and it's kinda great to be back home again.
