Tour HitParadef Will Have Five
Fresh Faces in Television Season
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York W "Your Hit
Parade' will trot out five fresh
faces this TV season. And ac
cording to incoming bandleader
Don Walker, the show will offer
a new sound, too.
Walker will replace Raymond
Scott, who piled out the door
along with Gisele MacKenzie,
Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson
and Russell Arms. Walker's
crew will be made up of Jill
Corey, Ginny Gibson, Tommy
Leonetti and Alan Copeland.
Walker, the 46-year-old scorer
of such Broadway musicals as
"Pajama Game," "Damn Yan
kees," and "The Most Happy
Fella," feels the NBC-TV show
was due for a musical overhaul.
'Up to now the policy on the
show has leaned toward imitat
ing the record that "made a hit
out of a song," said Walker. "The
trouble with that was it was im
possible in a TV studio to set
up the artificial conditions that
prevail in a recording studio.
TV Just can't gimmick up a
sound the way records do.
"So, this season we're going
to work for a different effect.
We're going to try to get a
closer coordination between the
production and the music you
know, so the music s-a-y-s what
your eyes are showing you."
The Hit Parade band (the same
NBC house orchestra that Ray
mond Scott used) will sound dif
ferent, too, said Walker.
"I always score for TV and
radio with a great deal of depth,"
said Walker. "And I try for a
wide sound, too. You're going'
to hear a lot of highs and lows
from the band, a lot of brilliance.
I don't like to waste notes, the
idea is to have each one work.
"And there's going to be a lot
of comedy in the music. I like
humor in music. I like an amus
ing quality it's the sort of
thing I tried to get into 'Pal
Joey,' another show I scored."

Commissioners Refuse
To Pay Trial Costs
Portland HB Multnomah
county district attorney Leo
Smith Tuesday backed up the
county commissioners in their
refusal to pay two items of ex
pense incurred by the attorney
general's staff in the recent per
jury trial of Mayor Terry D.
Schrunk.
The bills are $128 for a heli
copter survey of the 8212 Club
in the Kenton district of Port
land and $98 for photographs of
the north Denver-Kilpatrick in
tersection near the 8212 Club.
The Oregon Supreme Court
has ruled that the county must
pay for the most vital trial ex
penditures. Smith recommended that pay
ment be denied unless the attor
ney general or his assistants
establish the necessity for the expenditures.

After four years with Waring,
Walker turned to Broadway
where he scored 76 shows. In
recent years, he also has worked
on TV commercials. His Most
noteworthy effort in this line
a musical miniature based on
"The Most Happy Fella" for a
cigar firm brought him to
the attention of the cigarette
sponsor of "Your Hit Parade."
A student of the piano, pipe
organ, sax, clarinet, flute and
trombone. Walker will get one
big break on "Your Hit Parade"
this season he should have
more interesting tunes to work
with than Raymond Scott.
"I don't think there's any
doubt the ballad is making a
comeback," said Walker, "and
that rock 'n' roll is falling off a
bit. I like some rock 'n' roll my
self but s,ince it's based on repe
titive phrases, it tends to become
monotonous over a long period.
"This season the show will
get back to more of the moon
light dancing kind of thing and
all of those wonderful romantic
songs."

ties that my wife and I didn't
venture until we were practical
ly engaged. By this I mean they
kiss, hug, "horse around" and in
general seem as physically com
fortable together as long -married
couples.
I have been assured by them
and my wife that "it doesn't
mean anything," but why all
this physical contact with some
one they aren't going to marry?
Would a little timidity with the
opposite sex hurt?
Selma R. When I don't see
the kids kissing, hugging and
"horsing around," then I'll begin
to worry. So far, I am fairly
sure that most of this physical
activity goes on in public.
As I see it, nothing more is
mvolved than a little playful ex
perimentation. I'm glad our
children feel so free and com
fortable with members of the
opposite sex and with us that
they can indulge in these inno
cent familiarities without' fear
or shyness. Above all, I wouldn't
want to give them a sense of
guilt or wrongdoing about it
They would only learn 'to con-
ceal. Then they might go in for
a more dangerous sort of neck
ing and petting. -
My husband refuses to see the
handwriting on the wall. Times
have changed from when we
were teenagers. Dating customs
are different. The kids date
earlier, marry younger and, I
think, are really more healthy
minded than we were. They
know the facts of life from an
early age and are less confused
and afraid.
The Council: Some authorities
would agree with Selma that in
certain areas there has been an
improvement in the attitudes of
young persons toward sex. There
may be less guilt, fear and con
fusion on the surface at least.
But this bright surface is by
no means the whole picture.
Clergy men, sociologists, psy
chologists also see a dark side in
the increasing number of un
happy early marriages that are
largely the result of early dat-i
ing and casual intimacy between
the sexes. Selma should be
aware that enlightenment about
"the facts of life" doesn't do
away with all marital problems,
nor are public displays of affec
tion insurance against private
necking and petting.
It's true that dating customs
change but not always for
the best. In some societies court
ship and marriage at 15 and 17
is reasonable. In our highly com
plex, problem - ridden society,
the kind of activity Leon des
cribes may be -too much, too
soon, He is rightly disturbed
about the desirability of physical
familiarity that "doesn't mean
anything."
It is not necessary to give
these teenagers a sense of "guilt
or wrongdoing", to put over the
point that their relations with
the opposite sex have a greater
chance of being interesting, ex
citing and enriching if they take
it easy give themselves a
chance to grow up and to learn 1
how to care for one individual
with whomShey can enjoy phy
sical contact that means some
thing, not nothing.
