Rock 'n Roll Beat Stirs Up Midsummer
Madness Among Teen-Agers of Nation
Chicago (U.P.J From coast
to coast, rock 'n roll has stirred
up a sort of midsummer mad
ness in these United States to
day. Rock 'n roll, it seems, keeps
getting reactions as pronounced
as its beat.
It's been banned in Asbury
Park, N. J., to prevent teen-age
riots such as rocked that resort
community last month. Jersey
City Mayor Bernard J. Berry
also banned a rock 'n roll con
cert scheduled for tonight for
the same reason.
In the nation's capital, rock
'n roll is banned at the armory
because a riot tore up property
and injured spectators.
Dig That Hooby Dooby
In Denver, where it hasn't
been banned but where disc
jockeys have been "selective,"
arf Indignant citizen wrote to the
Denver Post: "This hooby dooby,
coop-shoop ootie ootie boom
boom deaddy boom scoodledy
goobledy dump ... is trash."

convention at Kansas City said
rock 'n roll music has brought

the business end of the piano

Record stores report skyrock
eting sales of rock 'n roll platters
and in Pittsburgh, a downtown
nitery that failed in several pre
vious tries now is going strong
by specializing in rock 'n roll.
Relieves Teen Frustration
In Chicago, Dr. S. Kirson
Weinberg, Roosevelt University
sociologist, said rock 'n roll
gives the adolescent, an outlet
for his frustration at being in
secure. Last Saturday night at San

calendar year.
