In the best traditions of the mu sical industry they quietly disposed of the still warm mck V roll corpse by burying it under a mountain of publinty for its heir apparent, known in the trade as "the new melody would be eaaier on the ears, the lyries eaaier on the in- i teliect, and the emotional effect more dulcifying on teen-aged fad- | iats than tha current frantic pops leaders. Skeptics might say the only thing new about the new music is ita name—or lack of one—but ita tempered tempo, with or with out a perceptible beat, sure beats rock V roll.

Fellow elections were announced Tuesday night during the Society’s annual meeting at Purdue Univer ally, Lafayette. Ind. The ahotgun wedding of Madi son Avenue to Tin Pan Alley hdp failed so far to come up with a name for the new music but it goes under the working title of ‘ Ballad With a Beat." ‘ It will get its first big plug in the forthcoming movie "Jamboree,” which further eecognt* for the presence of the disc jockeys at the studio. Ail appear in the picture to gi'e their official blessing to | the new music Among then* are Howard Miller of Chicago. Dick Clark of Philadelphia, AI Jarvis of Hollywood, Zenas Sear* of At lanta, Milt Grant of Washington, Garry Myers of Ottawa, Keith Sandy of Toronto, and Chris How land of Cologne and Werner Gotxe of Munich, Germany. The plot never gets complicated enough to interfere with the 18 disc jockeys who parade across the screen to introduce the 20 new songs. The songs are performed by such recording stars as Count Basie and hjs or chestra, the Four Coina, Kata Domino, Connie Francis, Joe Wil liams, Jody Sands, Frankie Avalon and several other reformed rock V rollers. What will the new music be like? Chris Howland, a pleasant Eng lishman who live* in Cologne and does a German disc jockey show an English disc jockey show for over West Deutchen Kundfunk nnd the British Forces Network, de- snibed it as “a type of song that will give singing back to the sing ers." The old fashioned love ballad has replaifid the hillbilly yodel that formed the basis of rock V roll and the beat Kas been slowed down to something resembling a combin ation of rhusnba and tango. One disc jockey, evidently hav- ing tumble adjusting musical gears, acidly compared it to a 78- spoed rock V roll record played on a 45 turntable. Most however, agreed that the Economists Attend Marketing Meeting Two AAM economists, Dr John A. Kincannon and Robert W. Cooper, have been invited to attend the Chicago Board of Trade s 11th Symposium od Commodity Market ing Sept. 3-5 in Chicago. Kincannon, 603 Guernsey South.

From Austin cornea reports of rats in back yards where none have been seen before, and of mice in suburban homes In Abilene and Wichita Falls increases in rat and mice populations have been noted. Farmer* southwest of San Antonio have experienced serious biases to small grains, peanuts and tomatoes due to rodent depredations. What’s behind these unusually high rodant populations? It is impossible to give a definite an swer, but State Health Department and Fish and Wildlife Service in vestigators feel increased rainfall had a lot to do with it. Rains caused dense vegetation growth where rats and mice could take cover and raise young, safely hidden from natural enemies. Also, farm crops have been good, provid ing a ready source of food.
