Wild Teen-Aged Party
At Rock V Roll Show
Milwaukee W The city
attorney's office today consid
ered banning all rock 'n' roll
stage shows in the wake of wild
teen-aged petting and drinking
sprees at a Milwaukee theater.
Knife fights broke out during
the week end performances,
youngsters staged dances in the
isles and young girls solicited
outside the theater, authorities
said.
BoUIm Swept Up
Police arrested 29 persons and
said they swept up baskets full
of empty whiskey and beer
bottles after the show, which
featured the stage appearance
of rock 'n' roll performers and
the movie "Calypso Heat Wave."
However, Earl Tetting. an as
sistant to L. F. Gran, owner of
the Garfield theater, defended
rock "n roll shows.
"We're purely catering to the
desires of the people for enter
tainment," Tetting said. He said

Recently somebody wanted to
tell land to Sears Roebuck and
It was reported that somebody
else tried to block it with
ZONING authority saying:
"We are not trying to
keep Sears out, but its
not right buying land
in a grain field by the
acre and being versus
Med ford businessmen
who bought land by the
square foot."
What about land outside Medford?
If you have some farmland,
ranch, or home, and if you want
ed to sell a piece of it, you
might have to get permission,
file a bond, lots of red tape, etc.
The "permission" could even be
refused. Its very complicated.
The Jackson County Planning
Commission has gotten up a
""subdivision" ordinance, which
could go into effect in 30 days,
if approved by the County
Court.
Do you want Planners. Zoners.
or anybody, to acquire the
power to tell you what you can
do and can't do with your land
and compel you to get their
permission before you sell a
piece or pieces of it (which they
can refuse) and enforce a lot of
red tape?
Somebody obviously thinks
you want it that way, or that it
would be good for you. or some
thing, because its in the works
right now.

"Somebody might have been

Labor Laws Said
Neglected by HST
New oYrk API Attorney
General Herbert Brownell Jr.
has accused the Truman admin
istration of neglecting to enforce
criminal laws against labor
racketeering, according to a New
York Times dispatch from Lon
don. Brownell, who is attending the
American Bar association meet
ing in London, said the Eisen
hower administration found that
criminal laws were not being en
forced in several important
areas, including labor racketeer
ing, when it came into power in
1952, the Times said.
Brownell said that since he
took over from Truman's attor
ney general, James P. McGran
ery, there have been more than
200 prosecutions of labor rack
eteers. He said there was a great
need for reform in criminal pro
cedure and predicted that there
would be more progress in re
form in the next decade than in
any comparable period in the
past.
