"We were Ul England for eight weeks." said Johnnie Perkins, the group's second tenor. "And the stuff is beginning to eaten on Rock Around The Clock' is one of the big numbers over there."

After that came a deluge of waxed biscuits featuring the repet it,vt nhruKe: the orimitive beat and semWiteratc lyrics of R-and-R. Ballads, pointed out ttay rer- .kias.'bass, "are still the big tiling over there, but rock and roll is getting more and more popular 'Sh-boom' did fairly well and our Karth Angel' was very Mg." Of course, as the other two boys, Rudi Maugeri and Pat Barrett, ,.i.,(t ni Ri-itons stilt have a long way to go before they can qualify as full-fledged tupsiers. "Their slang is pretty weird," said Rudi. "Wlien they like some thing they say 'That's lovely or "Tliat's smashing' (pronounced smah-shingi. They also say 'It's crackers.' " "And when they dislike some thing." said Ray, "they use 'Shocking bad. However, despite this paleolithic approach to the science of commu nication, the Crew-Cuts said there was a lot of hope for our cousins across the Atlantic. For one thing, said the Crew Cuts, English bobby-soxers- are be ginning to get In the swing of tilings. "Backstage, there's no difference between American and English kids," said Johnnie. "They're both pretty wild as fur as shewing Iheii enthusiasm. In on? town. New castle, the kids broke down the stage door and just piled through. The doormun lost his watch in the scuffle. "And just the week .before we hit a town, the kids staged a small riot wlien Johnny Ray was play ing." The Crew-Cuts, all of whom spcrt fairly normal coiffures, ran one test in England to gauge their pulling power. "In this country," said Johnnie, "many of the girls in our 135 fan clubs wear special short hair-cuts called 'the civw-sader cut.' So, we ran a small ad in a British paper asking if any girl would be willing to wear crew-cut and act u.. our secretary abroad. "We got more than 600 replies. In tact, one girl was so enthusias tic she said she'd be willing to cut all her hair off." Autobiographies Not Too Candid l)3 AN("Jr-l.F.S (UP) People who write ab.mt liiemselve find it difficult to be frank. Dr. William Mallhews, professor of English on the University of California campus here, believes that persons who write autobiogra phies "usually shun their inner peculiarities and fit tnemselves into patterns . . . suggested by the ideas and ideals of their time.". MnUhews recently completed a bibliography of more than 6,000 British autobiographies alter con ducting a 10-year search through libraries here and in Great Britain. He said he found those who write about tnemselves less than candid. '.'Too rarely," he said, "do they put into their books very much of that private, intimate knowledge of themselves that only they can have."
