"Jazz" is the true (oik music of
America, states tbe well-known
music critic Sijrmund Spaeth Ph.
I)., in an interview printed in the
October issue of "Radio Dgest."
''Fundamentally it will be found
that the popular music of America
today the Whiteman brand of
music has all the most striking
characteristics of the other great
folk-music o! the world," he is
quoted by "Radio Digest" as say
in?. "It is predominately spon
taneous, impromptu, actually im
provised to a great extent. In the
older Jazz orchestras no player
would erer read from notes. They
learned their tunes by 'ear and
then harmonized and colored them
to suit themselves."
"Although the musicians in Eu
rope had for years been praising
American popular music, iJ
t hough Darius Milhaud had keen
studying jazz orchestration and
Stravinsky had written a rag-time,
'Americans knew the material too
well to be much impressed by it.
It never occurred to anyone that
our popular music, our syncopated
dance tunes, our jazz orchestras
had musical interests.
"On this account I sympathize
with Mr. Whiteman in his effort
to eliminate the word 'Jazz al
though in general I think it would
be better for us to eliminate In
stead our prejudices against that
name. The confusion around the
word 'jazz' are so many that a few
Bimpie propostions may be used
to clear the atmosphere.
1. There is no such thing as
jazz music.
2. Jazz Is a method of play
ing music.
. The original jazz is now
known as 'soar music'
4. The present American pop
ular music is a growing, develop
ing and changing thing.
5. Until recently the method
of jazz has beentapplied almost
exclusively to one kind of music
- music for the dance.
C. The instruments of the jazz
band are wholly legitimate and
the uses to which they are put
create genuine music.
7. The jazz band is in reality
a small orchestra.
"The development of the or
chestra has been so rich that it
was possible for the music critic
of the New York World, Deems
Taylor, himself a notable Ameri
can composer, to say that White
man probably knows more about
a small orchestra than Richard
Strauss.

Postponement again by the fed

enforcement of its order re
stricting duplication of chain
programs may throw the probr

into the hands of congress.
The commission has now
made December 31 the effective
date of the order limiting dupli
cated operation on cleared
channels to stations more than
300 miles apart. The regula
tion was adopted in September.

When congress takes up the
question of continuing the com

expected that recommendations
will be made regarding the reg

reported that attempts will be
made to amend the radio law so
as to stipulate the number of

assigned to network stations.
Members of the commission

fairy to many of its allied industries.
Although one of the younger gi
ants of the business world, it has

Industries to a better position.
Comments of leaders of the ra

this statement. In telling how
much one section of the industry,
tube making, had helped out other

of Ceco said, "we recently made
Inquiries of a number of firms
which supply us raw material and
were amazed to learn what a ben

to be." J
"Glass, jnanufacturers inform
us." he said, "that radio has in
creased their business as much as
63 per cent. Manufacturers ot
precision Instruments used in tube
manufacture estimate an increase
lu their factory production of
33 1-3 per cent. A maker ot
molded products tells us that In
the oast six years his business has
oTTianded 400 rer cent and that
at present radio parts comprise
60 oer cent of the business.
"Percentages such as these are
