Eventually, they said, such funds would be available.

Five New Faces To Star In TV . Hit Parade Plans New Fresh Set-up - NEW YORK 'UP) —“Your Hit Parade" will trot out five fresh faces this TV season. And according to incoming bandleader Don Walker, the show will offer a new sound, too. - ■ ‘ ' Walker will replace Raymond Scott, who piled out the door along with Gisele MacKenzie, Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson and Russell Arms. Walker's crew will be made up of Jill Corey, Ginny Gibson. Tommy Leonetti and Alan Copeland. Walker, the 46-year-old scorer of such Broadway musicals as "Pajama Game.” ?Damn Yankees,” and “The Most Happy Fella,” feels the NBC-TV show was due for a musical overhaul. *‘Up to now the policy on the show has leaned toward imitating thp record that made a hit out of a song,” said Walker. "The trouble with that was it was impossible in a TV studio to set up the artifical condition that prevail in a recording sudio. TV just can't gimmick up a sound the way records do. Seeking Different Effect “So. this season we're going to work for a different effect. We’re going to try to get a closer coordination between the production and the music—you know, so the music s-a-y-s what your eyes are showing you.” The Hit Parade band 'the same NBC house orchestra that Raymond Scott used; will sound different, too, said Walker. “I always score for TV and radio with a great deal of depth.” said Walker. “And I try for a wide sound, too. You're going to hear a lot of highs and lows from the band, a lot of brilliance. I don’t like to waste notes, the idea is to have each one work. “And there's going to be a lot of comedy in the music. I like humor in music. I like an amusing quality—it’s the sort of thng 1 tred to get into ‘Pal Joey,’ another show I scored." Walker, a product of Lambertville, N. J., and the University of Pennsylvania (where he made tys musical debut as the sixth menP ber of “Lew Chapman’s InterFraternity Five”), aimed originally at an accounting job. However, Fred Waring lured Walker into his stable as an arranger. Scored 76 Broadway Shows After four years with Waring. Walker turned to Broadway .where he scored 76 shows. Inrecent years, he also has worked on TV commercials. His most noteworthy effort in this line—a musical miniature based on "The Most Happy Fella” for a cigar firmbrought him to the attention of the cigarette sponsor of "Your Hit Parade.” A student of the piano, pipe organ, sax, clarinet, flute and trombone, Walker will get one big break on “Your Hit Parade' ’this season—he should have more interesting tunes to work with than Raymond Scott. “I don't think there’s any doubt the ballad is making a comeback,” said Walker, “and that rock ‘n’ roll is falling off a bit. 11 like some rock ‘n’ roll myself but since it's based on repetitive' phrases, it tends to become monotonous over a long period. “This season the show will’ get back to more of the moonlight, dancing kind of thing and all of those wonderful romantic songs.” The first woman to be seated as ' a member of the U.S. Senate was Mrs. Rebecca L. Felton CD-Ga), in 1922. She was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sen. Thomas W. Watson.

Careless Voting Is Decried By Wickard Former Secretary 'ls Chief Speaker BROWNSTOWN. Ind. 'UP)Former Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard said Sunday "the recent highway scandals of the Republican Party are an illustration of what can happen when the people ‘ are careless in their choice of public officials.” Wickard, unsuccessful candidate for U.S. senator in the 1956 elections, told members of the Jackson County Democratic women's organization that the state party was not victorious at the polls last November because it “did not I manage to get the Democratic story to the people.”, I “We must be more effective if . we are to return the gdvernment of Indiana to the people and if we are to strengthen the part of he people in he Congress of the ’United States,” he said. The former REA administrator from Camden said governor Hand- . ley and the Republican Party in 'Congress have “come to accept Social Security." “They don't want to improve it —despite the obvious need for improvement—they have just come to accept what the pcmocratic I . -

| Party wrote into law 20 years ago,” he said. Wickard said his party will win in 1958 “only if we remain true to ourselves—true to the people of our state and true to the principles which have made the Democratic Party the oldest and most successful political party on earth,” t Children, Believed Hoosiers Abandoned DE WITT, lowa UP —Motel employes today cared for seven children whose parents drove off and left them in a cabin with $1.30.

New Airplane Being Assembled Jet Travel For Public Is Forseen SAN FRANCISCO I UP) -Down in the southwest corner of 4he United States, the engineers ot Convair Division of General Dynamics are putting together an airplane that will soon offer the civilian the nearest thing to supersonic travel in history. Ths company is one of the three titans of aviation who are pioneering the age of jet travel in a determined effort to keep America the world leader in commercial aircraft production. The others are Boeing Airplane Co. of Seattle and Douglas Aircraft Corp, of Santa Monica, Calif. Convair’s entry in the race is the Convair 880, this country’s first medium range jet airliner, whch is designed to cruise at 615 m.p;h. At its cruising altiude of 40,000 feet, that’s only 57 miles an hour short of the sonic barrier! Tops Foreign Competitors At that speed, the 880 will top the Russian Tupolev and the French Cabavelle by a cool 115 m.p.h. and will be able to run away from the heavier and larger intercontinental jobs being built by America's competitors. Its secret is its powerplants. The plahe will have four General Electric CJBOB-3 turbojets which are the commercial version of the engines powering Convair’s 858 Hustler atomic bomber which recently attained a speed above 1,000 m.p.h. The plane will be able to carry 88 to 109 passengers and will fly efficiently at any range from 250 to 4,000 miles, according to Convair. This means it would be well suited for such schedules as San Francisco-New York non-stop and for short flights. The first 880 s will be turned over to airline customers by September. 1960. Elsewhere on the West Coast's booming "aviation row,” Boeing is putting the finish touches on what is a cinch to become the first American jet airliner to carry a ticket-buying customer. Boeing Helps Military Boeing, builder of the famous Bl7s and 829 s and architect of today’s globe - circling 852 atomic bomber, has been test-flying its 707 commercial jet for three years. The rakish jetliner could hive been carrying airline colors months ago. But the Air Force got first look at the 707 and it convinced the generals that this was the plane they needed as a flying tanker for the Bs<!. They exercised their priority, and just one year and three days later the first production model rolled out of the factory. Except for tho Air Force insignia and a tail stinger to deliver fuel, it was the same arplane as the 707. Since then the airline brass have been jostling each other in line as they waited for production to catch up to the military orders* Despite the “setback,” Boeing is miles ahead of its competitors and the first commercial 707 is scheduled to roll out of the Renton, Wash., plant about Oct. 1 of this year.

date after flight testing is a vague “late in 1958” but company sources say it may come by next summer or earlier. Douglas Also Vieing In Santa Monica, next door to Los Angeles, Douglas is moving toward its jet age with the calm, unhurried deliberation of the master craftsman. The Douglas entry i is the DCB, a big, four-engined ■ continental and inter - continental ! job which the company hopes will be the DC3 of the jet era. i This is no small ambition, even j for the firm that has built more than half of the commercial transports in world Service today. If ■ the DCB can do half as much for aviation in 1960 as the precocious DC3 did in 1934, it will be doing somethng. I The twn-engined DC3. termed by the Air Force “the best single airplane ever built,” was the mod-el-T of the airways, A total of 10,926 were built and at one time they carried 90 per cent of the world’s airline traffic. In the DCB, Douglas is reaching tor what its executives call “a new plateau” in air. transport. The i DC3 cruised at 180 m.p.h. The DCB, cruising at 550 m.p.h., will carry a payload of 35,930 pounds • with a range of 4,850 miles. >. ( ■ ' ■ ■ - 1 ... !
