New YorJ' (IT) To a large extent, a ahow liXe Wed nesday night's "All-Stgr Jazz Shojy" on CB SB-TV do3K a disservice to jose. "We haijs over 58 o9 tha world's greatest j$z musi cians," cnortles emcoo Ggrry Moore. And, of course, that is one of the principal faults of th show. Ov8r the course of 60 minutes no one really has a chance to I work out a .J'wvmmmwl decent musi- William Ewald cal statement. There is a sense of hurry-and-push about the proceed ings. The idea, is to call out as many names as possible, flash their faces on the screen and then let them blow hot little driSbles into the mikes. Another defect of this kind of show is that it tries to sat isfy everyone ' and winds up satisfying no one. A Bit of Everything For some reason, gCes the thinking, big band swing must be represented, so let's run in Lionel Hampton gnd his calistheaic team and let them blow loud and riffy.

What results from this sub wCy crush cotillion is a slab of noise, the kind of outpour ing that confirms the opinions of those who look upon jazz as a shabby and base little art. " Fluid Trombone To give the' show its due, there were some saving mo ments. Teegarden blew some beautifully fluid trombone, Art Farmer chipped in some tasty trumpet and even Arm strong blew g few snatches of honest horn when he wasn't clowning. But I would say the chief tip-off to tha character of the show was indicated by the running in of Jaye P. Mor gan as a "jazz" singer. Miss Morgan took an almost singer proof song "The Lady Is a Tramp," and trampled on it. Her singing lacked ease and swing, and her breath control was so faulty, she lost end phrases. Another tip-off was the cue-in for commercials. To wit: "Man, that was real gone and crazy. Now let's take five, team with John Cam eron Swayze." To which I say ugh, man, ugh. Candidate Gill Opens Headquarters Portland OPl State Sen. Warren Gill, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, opened a campaign headquarters here today with the assistance . of the son of Oregon's next-to-last Demo cratic governor. Arrangements for the head quarters were made by Sam uel H. Martin, younger son of the late Gen. Charles H. Mar tin who was Democratic gov ernor of Oregon i the 1930s.

Gold Mining Stocks Gain in Popularity As Spurt Predicted By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Pinaneigl Editor New York (IP! Every time the economy gets a bit of an upset some one comes along 'j1 i .WJiJ wi tfi a ciinr plan or two to revalue gold or adjust our ' money supply some how or other. " And at these times, there is a flurry of de mand for gold mining stocks on the theory their earning will spurt if gold is, given nigner price ' What really happens is that in times of recession the cost of gold mining declines a bit and that gives the gold miners a bit, more protit V The gold talk is increasing just now because the United States is losing gold. That means foreign nations are more eager to put their American dollar holdings into gold than they are to buy our government bonds where the yields are low So far this year, the United States has lost $600 million in gold. Last year it gained $1 billion when yields on gov ernments were high and the foreign nations bought them. Wejll Supplied o But the nation still has the biggest supply of gold of any country in the world more than $22 billion of it. Foreign nations have a rela tively small sum compared with ours and they think enough of our vaults at the New York Federal Reserve Bank to keep it here. The New York Fed has nearly $7 billion of gold earmarked for foreign account in the best burglar proof vaults you ever saw way down deep in the earth. The experts belittle the talk of gold price increases. These people point out that we have $10 billion more gold than we neea right now as reserves against the dollars in circula tion. This flow of gold back and forth our stock up $1 billion last year, down $600 million so far this year is considered a normal operation. It's seen as the shock absorber of in ternational credit. Raising the price of gold is another way of dollar devalu ation. It doesn't make more gold. It does place a higher price on what gold is avail able. But it's an inflationary device which the experts say is just about as necessary right now as growing wheat in Wall Street. In fact, they hold, a higher gold price is just what the nation doesn't need. Plenty of Words . But the talk and the writ ings on gold goes on jypt as it did in the 1930s when enough words were spilled on gold to fill a 31 foot, 10 inch book shelf. The world gold price fixed by the United States remains at $35 per fine ounce. You can buy British gold crowns and hoard them right here in New York. You'll pay $35 an ounce plus charges for ship ping, etc., bringing your cost to about $38 an ounce. If you MULTIPLE 3-4221 i :-m trM w.- C1BT MilllH- Pin might siic$ her ose iaj Mce want gold bars you can get them in London gold markets. Meantime, Wall Street likes to talk of the prospect of a higher gold price and what it would do to gold mining com pany shares The conservatives admit gold shares might rise but they warn against expect ing a big jump because they aver there just won't be a higher xpld price set by the U. S. 14 Medford High Students Attend YMCA Legislature Messages by Gov. Robert D. Holmes, Secretary of State Mark Hatfield and Senate President Boyd Overhulse were among . the highlights of the state YMCA Youth Legis lature in Salem recently..

The will of Miss Amalia Britt, last member of a pio neer Jacksonville family, be queathed a sum of $50,000, the annual income of which was directed to be used for scholarships for local gradu ates, on a basis of character, need and better than average grades. Average number of seniors in Jacksonville is 25, and in 1952 two went to some institu tion of higher learning. In 1953, three attended, seven in 1954 and six out .of a class of 32 in 1955. First Class First class to receive the Britt Scholarships was the class of 1956, when Sonya Smith, Hazel Tweedy, George Perreard, Maxine Bowman and Ron Muir received awards and brought the percentage of college-bound students to more than one-fourth of the class. , In 5957, 11 students out of a graduating class of 31, or bet ter than one third, continued their education. Students who received Britt Scholarships that year were Zita Maddox, Nancy Adams, Oteka Shep herd, Tom King, Joan Fret well, Clyde Smith, Norman Pawlowski, Emma Jean Smith, Carlene Wall, Floyd Driskell, Sandra Norris, Dian ne Robbins and Sharon Wil son.
