w iiauco uiuns luuoo vtcgun ouvw college Saturday
night In the Gill Coliseum. The scene of the dramatic
doings was back stage of the platform constructed for
" the Oscar Levant concert.
It all started this way, early Saturday afternoon, James
C. Petrillo, president of the AFL, American Federation of
Musicians, announced that Pianist Oscar Levant could not
- be hired as a union musician pending disciplinary action.
In a telegram to Columbia Artists Management, Inc.,
booking agent for Levant, Petrillo said the pianist "is
not to be given any bookings until such time as the inter-
- national executive board of the federation decides his
- case."
What Petrillo didn't know was that Columbia Artists
has already stated that they would not represent Levant
any longer, In view of the fact that he cancelled five Cana
dian engagements and one in Seattle. .
. On these grounds Petrillo took his action Saturday.
Levant, not knowing of the ban, appeared before a large
crowd on the State campus.
. Following his concert, Irwin Harris, the gent who has
been sweating it out for over three weeks wondering if
Levant would show up at Oregon State for his concert,
had the task of giving Levant the bad news.
Harris was already disgusted In the matter of being
i the middle of a fight between Levant and Columbia.
Tinth Wanted the check for the evenincr'a nnnner f
Views doesn't know who got it but both wanted it and
there was only one. '
nearea woras were voicea oy .Levant m a room in
which only he and Harris were present. However, bits
; of the conversation could be heard through the door,
j "I'm shocked," were Levant's first words after Harris
J got through reading the notice to him. Levant then
'shook off newsmen from the AP, UP, INS and Tele-
Views to streak out of the building like a bolt of lightning
to go to Portland. He refused to answer the questions
'whicn .retriiio wanted answered immediately.
5 Harris then breathed a
was over. In a worried fashion prior to the concert.
Harris phoned Levant in his Beverly Hills home asking
Ihim if he would show up for sure and Levant Baid "I
;dont know."
i Despite the above action which took place after the
'concert, Levant put on a brilliant performance for the
audience at Corvallis. Once during the concert he appear
. ed to be collapsing but regained enregy to finish the con
cert. -

Made in a letter from Mai.

provision that the site must be

entail no great delay.
Portland wants the Vanport
site for a proposed giant sports

Carvel Linden, president of

Here's Information on
Age Limits for Derby
Br VIC
A letter from mother says
she follows the Soap Box
Derby newt stories with en'
thusiasm (which we are very
pleased to hear) but she is a
little mystified at to why we
don't run the age limits for tne
two classes and the deadline
for registration. . - '.
' Well, I'm little mystified
too. I guess it la as much for
getfulness as anything that the
age limits haven't been men
tioned since early In the pre
parations for the 1803 Percy,
so here goes with the Informa
tion she requested ana witn
some other pertinent dope for
you derbyists. .
First the age limits Class
A includes boys from 13 to IS
Inclusive; , Class B. includes
boys of 11 and 12. These ages
must be in effect on August 9,
the date of the Ail-American
Derby In Akron, Ohio. In other
words, it you are 11 or 13 on
August 9, you will be in Class
B or A, respectively, In the
Salem race even though your
birthday comes between the
two Derby dates. If you are 15
on August 9, you will not be
eligible for either race.
The deadline for entries has
not definitely been set yet, but
will probably be June 12, Just
one month before our, race.
However, there la no reason to
wait until that date to register.
The . sooner you register the
better as far as the Derby asso
ciation is concerned for that
gives them a better chance to
plan the timing of the race, the
number of prizes to get, the
gifts for each racer and so forth.
A lot of late registrations
may result in not enough prizes
and gifts being prepared for or
not enough time to set up the
race run-off the most efficient
ly. . ....
A few other rules: You can
only race in one official Soap
Box Derby besides the National
championship racb and you
cannot enter an unoniciai raco
and then race in an official
Derby. With the exception of
the wheels, axles and steering
system, you must build the
racer by yourself, from the
cutting and shaping of parta to
the nailing and fastening to-
nther rules in detail that
Vmiiiri answer all your dues
tioni are in the official rule
book which will be given you
when you register. ' , ,
If you plan to race in Salem s
biggest kids event, it's a good
irton tn start building now even
though there seems to be plenty
of time left. In another few
weeks, school will be out and
you may want to go swimming,
play ball, pick berries or some
thing else that will take up
most of your time so that you
may not get your racer iimsnea
In time. ' ,
Incidentally, that letter I
mentioned was from Mrs. Isa
bel Kenagy, 702 Hawthorne
..oot Tt urns the first letter we
have received about the Derby
although there have been lots
of phone calls. We'd like to
hear from more of you Derby
ists or your mothers or fathers,
either with questions or ideas.
Just drop a line here to me

want tn know.
