And, al though a little harder to find, there are couples who face to gether modern American jazz frantic pace. One such duo, is Jackie Cain and Roy Krai, young vocal ar tists who ply their wares in the musical vein sometimes known as "bop." Jackie, 27, and Roy, 33, have, over a period of six hectic years, built both a career and a family. Their courtship is a "hipster's" fairy tale. Roy, an ex-soldier, was doing arrangements and playing piano for a radio station when he start- ed,"going stale." A Chicago Irip would cure this creative stagna tion, he felt, so off h went. In the Windy City, the am bitious lad landed a keyboard job at a small jazz-trap called Jumptown. With the position came an introduction to a cute, pixie-type blonde named Jackie Cain, an ex-Milwaukee school girl with singing ambitions. But it wasn't until later, when both were with Charlie Ventura's orchestra Roy as arranger and Jackie as vocalist that the ierious "courtin' " began. Says Roy. "I went courtin' in every city across the nation and with the same girl." The over-coffee between one night stands romance paid off. for Jackie ar.4 Roy became hus- h&nd and wife at the University of Chicago chapel a half-dozen years ago. The two put together a pro gressive jazz vocal duet, with hurband Roy doubling on piano, and they've been on the go ever since. The couple has a J-year-old girl, "Nicki," who is a "regular little mimic." "She picks up the high spots of our numbers," says Jackie, "and goes around the house sing ing them all day." The family is kept together on the road, omething which all three are thankful for. This is done, on short jaunts between dates with the help of a station wagon that Roy Has equipped with f.attresse fot the twe girls. On longer hauls, how ever, such as the Hawaii stint they completed recently, differ ent arrangements are made. They rent an apartment in each city, have a piano brought in and try to find competent baby-sitters for "Nicki." "She adapts to our schedule beautifully. " says Jackie, "the only problem we have is in the baby-sitting department." Home base for these wander ing minstrels is a home in Long Island, which, they lament, "we haven't seen in so long that we've forgotten what the furniture looks like."

Krai at work and at play, one would think that they apply to their private lives the same formula they use in selecting material for their ahows. "We combine jazz and dra matics in our routines," says Roy, "and pick our " songs by their timing, humor, closeness (to the audience) and rhythm " Court Petitioned To Hear Damage Suit Portland (U.R) Coos Bay Pulp and Paper Company yester day petitioned Federal Court here to hear. a damage suit amounting to $16,500 brought against the firm, by a Douglas county couple.

Broup To Resume Hearings Friday In New Mexico Fresno, Calif. (U.R) The Senate Agriculture Committee, pared to Chairman Allen J. El lender, inspected cattle grazing land and farms in the fertile San Joaquin Valley today after gathering more testimony on farm problems that may explode politically in the 1956 elections. The Louisiana Democrat, tem porarily deserted by his com mittee members, stayed over night at Yosemite Valley in the Sierras before visiting the U. S. Range Experiment Station north of Fresno and touring several farms." The committee resumes nationwide grass roots hearings tomorrow in Albuquerque, N. M. In the seventh hearing yester day producers of highly-diversified crops in California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona suggested stop gaps for falling farm prices ranging from 100 per cent of parity to more favorable weath er. The testimony" centered around a bread basket full of crops that included cotton, milk, poultry, lima beans, sugar beets, rice, tomatoes, cattle, fruits, figs, raisins, sheep, honey and wheat. Looks for Help Mrs. Jean Fisher, an Escalon, Calif., housewife, brought a roar Pfrom some 300 spectators when she told Ellender "I wish to God I knew" what would help the larmer. Previously she reported the WesterrODairyman's Association asked her to testify about the plight of the industry because members couldn t afford the Igxury of hiring a milkerto come here themselves." Mother Nature entered the committee room when Ellender was questioning Ed A. Thomas of Spanisho Fork, Utah, about 100 per cent of. parity. "It would help too, to get rid of bad weather," Thomas re ported. Cotton grower Vernon Davis of MacSfa, Calif., told the com mittee it probably is impossible for "farmers ever to get to gether and solve their prob lems." "If you farmers can't get to gether," retorted Ellender, who had repeatedly urged witnesses to state possible solutions to farm problems, "how do you think Congress can?" Unworkable Program George Schlmyer of Sacra mento, master of the California State Grange, described the present national farm program as "unworkable and crushing. the home-owning farmer." He proposed a limit on parity pro gram payments, but at the same time advocated that the govern ment pay the difference if prices' drop below parity. "Isn't that the Brannan Pjn? o asked Ellender. Schlmeyer agreed that "Per haps itwas," and added that "sooner or later the people are going to have to come to it." After the Albuquerque hear ing the committee convenes in Dallas, Tex., Saturday for its ninth session. Ellender is hope ful the farmer comment will be helpful to Congress next year in drafting a new farn price support bill.'
