Duke E llin g to n
The applause began before
the curtain went up on "C -Jam
B lues" at the opening night of
Duke E llington's five week
tour of the Soviet Union.
The Russians bought out the
4,200 seat OKTYABRSKAYA
(October) Theater in Lenin­
grad fo r the five night running.
Hundreds jammed the aisles,
whistling, cheering and clap­
ping w ildly.
Ellington's program was a
mixture of classic big land
numbers like " A T ra in " and
more pieces like "H a rle m
Suite" which he dedicated to
L'.S. Amhassadore to Moscow,
Jacob Beam, who was seated
In the sixth row.
The audience favorites were,
" P e r d i d o , " "1 Can't Get
Started With Y ou," "D o n 'tG e t
Around Much Any M ore,” and
"S a tin D o ll".
When the program ended, the
clapping didn't stop until after
an hour of encores.
Ellington brought down the
house with an improvised ver­
sion of the old Russian love
song, "D a rk E ye s".
"Y o u 're ve r y be a u t i f u 1,
you're very sweet, very gen­
erous,” the Duke told the Rus­
sians. They burst into happy
laughter when he rolled out his
slogan, "1 love you m a d ly," in
Russian.
It was a fittin g opening fo r the
tour which includes stops in
Kiev, Minsk, Rostov-on-Don
and w ill wind up with a four
night stand in Moscow.
E llington's band is the firs t
big American jazz band to

Goodman’ s v is it in 1962.
Contracts for Blacks
recommended
Representative Barren J.
M itchell (Dem. - Maryland)
told a meeting of the National
Association of Black Manu­
facture res, In c , in St. Louis,
that the federal government
should set aside a certain per­
centage of its contracts fo r
black-operated
companies.
The black congressman sug­
gested that blacks’ share ol
the government contracts be
increased to >5 billion a year
by 1976. C urrently blacks re­
ceive about $28 m illio n of the
total $ 100 b illio n .
M itchell said the key to this
o rity companies.
He said s im ila r goals should
be persued in state and local
contracts and with private in­
dustry. He recommended a
minimum of one-third of the
expenditures of citie s go to
hlack companies, especially
in those cities with large black
populations.

Among

Bus fares were considered
fa r too high fo r those on low

quently of service were con­
sidered inadequate, special
services to projects like Sel­
