"The favorites art Enrico Caruso,
John McCormack. and Alma Oluck."

Jockey. "They rank In that order-
Just as they did In their own life
times." Butterworth. 4. differs from the
ordinary disc Jockey In that he playa
classical or semi-classical vocal rec
ords Instead of the current groenere.
"Collecting old records la a tre
mendous hobby today." he said,
"and torn of them brine fabulous
prices up to 1100 or more.
"Probably the rarest records In
the world are seven made In Italy
by Caruso In 1X1 for the Zono
phone company. I've seen collectors
pay llo apiece for copies, and I
know of only one man who has all
even."
Butterworth, who entered radio in
IB 29 as an announcer, haa a library
of 6000 records, one of the largest
In the country. Currently he is
engaged in a nation-wide search for
lost or unpublished recordings by
treat singers of the past.
When he started his radio pro
tram here more than two years ago
over a loeeJ NBC station, he ex
pected It would hold only a nostalgic '
appeal for old-timers.
"But I was amsxed at the way
younger people reacted." he said.
"Many of them had never heard
voices of that quality."
Butterworth later held a aeries of 1
evening record concerts, and found

Council May
Decide On
Jim Crow
The city fathers msy make final
settlement ot the problem concern
lng burial segregation of Negroes
in Klamath Memorial park when
they meet in regular session tonight,
It as hinied todsy.
The final decision rests with the
councilmen. Last Friday the cem
etery committee tailed to mske a
recommendation to the council, ex
J plaining that II was "an operating
and not a pollry-makltw body."
Members ot the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Col
ored People are expected to attend
the council session tonight to hear
the final decision.
The NAACP has been fighting the
srgregsuon propossl winch first
csme to the fore when burial of a
Negro war veteran in the Memorial
interment (rounds waa rejected re
cently. The clause excluding the burial i
or anyone but the white race con
tained In the city's deed for sale of
burial lots, was discovered with
some surprise but was quickly strick
en when City Attorney Henry Per
kins handed down a ruling that
such a clause was unconstitutional.
However, setting aside a separate
plot in the cemetery grounds was
i hit upon as a possible answer to the
! problem.
I Councilmen are also expected to
be presented with the problem of
tackling rent controls at tonight's
Hireling. i
Under the new rent control law.
de-controUuuj can be accomplished
only after a mass meeting 01 land-
lords and tenants, said meeting to
be publicised tn advance.
There Is a request from one real
estata firm in town showing an ui
terest in the lifting of rent ceilings
and the council may be asked to
call such a meeting.
Initial action la also anticipated
tonight on the official closure of
streets and alleys to make way for
the establishment ot the new north
entrance Dark. i
