C Stephenson, power-wieldinf Ku Klux Klan leader of the cor rupt 20 has been mad eligible for immediate parol from a Ufa sentence for murder.

Theenomenal Klan organizer was setvfrb prison for the death of a 25-year-old statehou-e employe, Miss Madge Oberholtzer. But in his 45 appeals to the courts since then, he claimed he was a political prisoner.

Angeles UANILA-(INS)-City schoolboys and street urchins are using un conventional, but musically effective, instruments with which to play catchy South American rhumbas and' are a hit in usually staid Manila, These musically-inclined boys gather together at city streets, par ty gatherings and have even invaded parlor rooms to play hip-sway- inz congas and, sambas, their style. These self-styled Latin Ameri can bands number over a hun dred at present. Stnuure Music Reason for their unprecedented popularity is the oddity of their presentation of the South Ameri can hits. Moreover, the "cumbancheros. as they are called, employ the most grotesque assortment of mu sical instruments and have got ten away with it. At least, music that comes out from their strange-looking, home made instruments is simply "out of this world. And Manila is wild about them. In fact, a downtown Manila theatre has signed up one contest' winning "cumbanchero" to play regularly on its stage. A regular band can play a tor rid conga in a style Xavier Cugat might well approve, by utilizing only a pair of marracas, guitar, harmonica, drums and dried gourd. Instruments But a super-duper band uses among' other things "timbales", "bongos", "chicletos, "c 1 a v c s", "Jawbones', "castanets' and tom bardors" which, despite their weird-sounding names, are native variations of their Cuban counter parts. And these, 'cumbanch eros claim, are what make them give the South American rhumba that certain, fascinating rhythm.
