The office of the Comptroller of the Currenncy said Tuesday it turned down the charter appli cation for a bank that would have competed with Rebozo’s bank, the only one in Key Biscayne, Fla.

Smith, named to the post by Nixon last May, refused to talk with a newsman about the matter. pressurfl In doing so, it rejected the recommendation of a field ex aminer who had urged the com peting application be approved, an official said. The chairman of the House “The allegations are that Re bozo used his influence with the President to establish a monopo listic position in Key Biscayne,” Patman said. Patman asked Smith for his file on the matter to determine the facts. Thomas DeShazo, deputy comptroller for charters, DeShazo said the action of the comptroller’s office did not con stitute overturning the field ex aminer’s recommendation. “The final decision is up to the comptroller. We have many cases of differences of opinion on these matters,” he said. A member of the rival group said the decision “boils down who’s got the clout. “His (Rebozo’s) group power to use the most said Mortimer Fried, a Key Bj cayne lawyer.

These LP’s are completely unrelated and there is no reason to group them together, but I don’t care. After seeing Slade on “In Con cert” last fall I decided they were definitely a group I could live without. I have never been a fan of glam-rock (groups who dress in outlandish clothes, often in drag). I never felt that a per formance should depend in any way on the fashion of the per former’s dress. Slade has not changed appear- iance. They have, however, changed labels and now record for Reprise. Slade’s debut record for the new label is “Sladest,” a mish-mash of new and old ma terial. I was somewhat skeptical of the album’s worth at first but after only a couple of listenings I had completely changed my opinion and I now consider Slade to be one of the best rock groups around. “Mama Weer All Crazee Now,” “Cum on Feel the Noize” and “Gudbuy T’Jane” is some of the best material recorded by any one in the last five years and as long as I don’t have to look at them, I wouldn’t mind seeing them around for a long time. When a friend recommended I listen to the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver’s “Lifeboat” there was something about the album that made me know I wouldn’t like it. Again I was wrong. It’s been a bad month for first im pressions. With the Sutherland Brothers handling the vocals and Quiver taking care of the music they manage to get by without any sort of individual or unique sound. Sometimes they sound like Spirit, sometimes like the Allmans, al ways they sound good. “You got Me Anyway,” “Rock and Roll Show” and “Not Fade Away” are tops. Frank Zappa’s bizzare music has been his downfall in his quest for mass acceptance. Frank has never admitted wanting accept ance but it’s obvious that is what he’s been after all along; why else would he keep releasing 45’s ? “Over-Nite Sensation” finds the Mothers and Zappa recording music that is conservative enough to possibly give him his dream — a hit single. I would not rate it much of a probability because he has not abandoned his deliciously strange lyrics. His guitar play ing could win him hordes of new fans but his lyrics might scare them away. , “I’m the Slime,” “Montana” and “Zomby Woof” are great and “Dinah-Moe Humm” has to be one of the filthiest songs ever re corded. Raspberries has never tried to shake it’s pop star image but instead tries to encourage it. The result is the finest pop music around, reminiscent of the Beatles’ ‘Rubber Soul’ — “Revol ver” period. Eric Carmen is the genius be hind the group and his songs in variably stand out. On their new release, “Side 3”, he has four songs which, understandably, are the best on the album. The entire record is good, but Carmen de serves much more recognition than he is getting. Love Is A Perfect Diamond Nothing says "love" so perfectly. A perfect Keepsake center diamond of clear white color and precise cut. DOUGLAS JEWELERS 212 North Main Bryan - Downtown 822-3119 “Heavy Traffic” is an animated cartoon by the same people who forced “Fritz the Cat” on us. The soundtrack album should be avoid ed at all costs. It contains over played songs by Sergio Mendez, Chuck Berry, The Isley Brothers and Dave Bruheck sandwiched between useless jazz filled by Ray Shanklin and Ed Bogas.
