Calypso Eclipses Rock N'Roll Music Fad Started By Andrews Sisters t By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD (UP) — This is the year when calypso eclipses rock n’ roll, and the Andrews Sisters are proud to have started the West Indian music fad, despite pokes to the contrary from Harry Belafonte. Back in 1942 Maxine, Patty and Laverne came out with "Rum and Coca-Cola*’ which they claim introduced calypso to the American public. Their record sold five million copies. This year, thanks to Belafonte’s albums and a song called "Banana Boat", calypso is beginning to push rock n’ roll off the duke boxes. It appears to be the musical fad of 1957. Belafonte recently charged the Andrews Sisters’ “Rum and CocaCola’* was not "authentic” calypso. But the girls—still the top trio of the entertainment business — say they truly were 15 y ears ahead of their time. “A calypso singer named the Duke of Iron sang the scng to me

after a friend of ours, Maurey Amsterdam, went to the islands and neard it,” explained Patti. "Calypso is from the French word, carrousel, and it means the news that gets around the islands of the West Indies," put in Maxine. "The American public would not be interested in the local news of Jamaica. So we had to change the lyrics. "The original lyric was about a doctor who lives on the islands and was always drunk. Finally he died. We could hardly use that lyric. "What’s wrong with changing, lyrics? We bet Belafonte has to, too. The melody we used was identical to the original we heard from a West Indian calypso singer.” This year "Rum and Coca-Cola" is enjoying a revival, thanks to the 1957 calypso fad. The Andrews Sisters — together again after a two-year spat—also recorded a new calypso tune last week, "No, Baby.” They heard the song on a record sent them by a friend who visited Jamaica.

Farm Legislation Battle Shapes Up Fight Centers On Soil Bank Subsidy WASHINGTON (UP) — A new battle ' between the Democratic Congress and the Eisenhower Administration over farm legislation began shaping up today. This time’ the fight centers on "soil bank" subsidies instead of price project. Last year a presidential veto blocked a Democartic drive to restore rigid high price suppprts. The new battle cry was sounded by Chairman Harold D. Cooley (D-NC) of the House Agriculture Committee and Rep. W.R. Poage (D-Tex), second-ranking committeeman. It came in response to the administration’s plea for quick enactment of legislation relaxing planting restrictions on midwestern corn producers. Cooley and Poage replied with a proposal that growers of cotton, wheat, peanuts, rice and tobacco be paid by the government for obeying production control laws which have forced them to cut back plantings. They said that in effect, is what the Eisenhower Administration wants Congress to do for corn growers. Simple justice, they‘said, requires the same treatment for producers of other basic crops. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Marvin McLain in testimony before the House committee Wednesday contended that corn growers would not get "preferential treatment" under the administration’s 51 million acre planting allotment. He said that acreage would proI vide the amount of corn needed to meet “normal” market demands. He said the corn needs special legislation because Congress never fixed a minimum planting allotment for that crop, but did so for other basic crops. u /* a auve aometamg to sen o rooms -or rent, try a Democra Want Ad.

Authentic Texans Defended By Dobie Says Average Texan Is Not Braggart By DOC QUIGG United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP)—Texas! There she stands. The longest suffering, most maligned of states. She’s not a braggart. She’s a sweet, shy thing, retiring by nature, gentle of spirit. The authentic Texan, the true breed, is given to soft speech and understatement (it says here today in medium-size print). The swashbuckler, the hot-air merchant who has painted a swollen picture of the state on the national map, is a "professional Texan.” The authqptic Texans far outnumber the professionals within the state, according to J, Frank Dobie. Dobie, a writer long known as an authority on the flavor of the flatlands and the peccadilloes of the Pecos, was born on a ranch in the Texas brush country 68 years ago. He’s a blue-eyed, §alty-spoken gent with silky white hair and wiry, upswept white eyebrows. He believes the word genuine carries more weight if it’s pronounced "genu-wine.” He came here to advise the NBC “Wide, Wide World” people, who in a forthcoming program will undertake to crowd the state at Texas onto a TV screen. “When we get out of the state, the time sometimes comes when a Texan is supposed to brag—and we always try to oblige and do what we’re supposed to,” he says. “But the authentic Texans are more given to understatement than overstatement.” ' And in the open spaces, language is sparse. Perpend the Texas anecdote: Two old cowboys, riding the line, camped together each night after riding apart by day. They would come in at eve, smoke a while, go to sleep. One night, smoking, they heard an animal bawl. One said: “Bull!” The other said: “Sounds like a steer to me.” They went to sleep, awoke, had breakfast, and then the one who had spoken first rolled his bedroll and got on his horse. “Ridin’?” asked the other. said the first, “too damn much argument.” Another facet of Texas character shines clean in a conversation Dobie swears he heard in the hills over black coffee. A young sprout asked a lean old gaffer: “Grandpa, how come you and Grandma been married 64 years and never quarreled?” The old man answered: “Tell yuh, Sonny, it’s like this. One day 64 years ago when*l was

■ - ' V— Last Word Sleeper Currently On TV Panel Show Slips Into Sunday Slot NEW YORK (UP) —The sleeper of the current TV season seems to be “The Last Word,” a panel show which slipped into a Sunday afternoon slot on CBS four weeks ago. A low-budgeted, high-foreheaded entry. It moved in without much fanfare or carfare, but as some of the more untamed members of the trade might phrase it, it since has played to "boss" reviews. Emceed by Dr. Bergen Evans, a gentleman and Rhodes scholar, the half-hour program meanders through the problems of our language. The show has covered such irritants as “Love Me Tender,” “Ain’t”, “Winston tastes good like a cigaret should,” Brooklynese and the poetry of Ezra Pound. As he chauffers through this, linguistic landscape, Evans has offered a variety of free-wheelers— Russell Lynes, Sam Levenson, John Mason Brown, David Daiches, Mary McCarthy and Ilka Chase. Evans, an English professor who bicycles to work at Northwestern, is known to TV viewers as the man who writes most of the posers used on “The IM.OQQ Question” and “The $64,000 Challenge'* and as the emcee of “Down You Go,” a panel show which drowned in its channel a few months back. “I’m delighted at the response to the show,” said Evans today. “I’ve known for a long time how strongly people feel about words and grammar even though many of them say they aren’t. “Most people will tell you—‘Oh, I just talk the way I feel.’ But you just pronounce a word differently from the way someone else just has, and watch the reaction.” Jobless Pay Claims Increase In State • :i INDIANAPOLIS — Bad weather and a seasonal slowdown were blamed today by the Indiana Employment Security Division for a 2,000 increase >n unemployment compensation claims last week over the week before. The claims totaled 54,814, including 9,066 from newly-unemployed persons. Army Sergeant Is Suicide Victim MUNCIE Ind. IW — M. Sgt. Clois N.

husband No. 6, Eugene Fultz, 24, arrived at' his trailer home here unexpectedly to find Morris. “What are you doing here with my wife,” Fultz said upon entering. “What do you mean, your wife,” Morris replied. "This is my wife.” , x The two men then decided to let the police untangle the mixup. Richmond records revealed Mrs. Corraditti and Morris were mar- ’ ried Jan. 14 by a justice of the peace. Both swore it was their first marriage. Authorities said Mrs. Corraditti, who is pregnant, also may be charged with collecting government allotment checks from two of her husbands in the Air Force and Navy. When informed that she would have to stay in jail here for one more night before her transfer to Richmond, Mrs. Corraditti rubbed her back said, “Oh, no.” Prisoners in city jail here have no mattresses and sleep on steel 1 bunks.
