Pop Will Be Ready
To Entertain Kids
Aboard a Coast Guard-Manned
Assault Transport—In the Pacific
war theater it’s every man for
himself when it comes to thinking
up ways of entertainment during
leisure moments, observed Stuart
L. Parker, a Coast Guard combat
correspondent.
That’s why no one was too sur
prised one recent Sunday after
noon when they saw a kite go
sailing into the air from the stern
of this ship. No one was surprised,
either, to discover that the builder
and manipulator of the kite was
the 25-year-old father of three |
children, rather than one of the
more youthful members of the
crew.
The man indulging in this aerial
entertainment was Vernon L.
Watts, Jr., a carpenter’s mate,
whose wife, son and two daugh
ters live at West Palm Beach, Fla.
“Well, it’s one way of keeping
in practice of entertaining the
kids when I get home,” Watts ex
plained.

MOSCOW—(/P)—American mu-j
sic is becoming ever more popu
lar in the Soviet Union.
Moscow’s dance bands are play
ing more jazz tunes, and the peo
ple sing them in their homes to
guitar or accordion accompani
ment.
The Moscow radio, which has
an outlet into every apartment
house in the capital and every
area in the Soviet Union, consist
ently plays U. S. music.
In one 24-hour period:
Irving Berlin’s “You’re In the
Army, Mister Jones” was given a
lone airing. An American jazz
hour included “As T me Goes By.”
and a symphonic arrangement of
“Yankee Doodle.”
On a band music program were
“American Patrol” and an ar
rangement of “The Star Spangled
Banner.”
The Office of War Information
in Moscow under Col. Joseph Phil
lips furnishes sheet music and
phonograph records.
The Russian Jazzmen admire
American Jazz leaders and play
ers and can click off names like
American hepcats.
Those at Moscow’s hotels can
discuss at length the difference
between the clarinet style of
Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and
Peewee Russell.

They can even argue fine points
about trumpetmen from Bix to
Sunny Dunham. There is a Bun
ny Berrigan school here which
was saddened when, only recently,
its members learned of his death.
