Jazz Mass Sets Off Hot Debate
By Claire Cox
United Press International
NORWALK, Conn. (UPI) — A real cool Mass played by a hot jazz combo in a Protestant Episcopal church set off a debate today on whether it is proper to mix the Bible with the blues.
"A 20th Century Folk Mass," composed mainly in ragtime by an English clergyman, was played by a progressive jazz ensemble made up of a pianist, drummer, saxophonist and bass player Sunday at a Communion Mass at St. Paul's Church in the heart of this community.
For nearly 90 minutes the rafters of the English Gothic church rang with the strains of foxtrots, beguines, blues and improvised versions of popular tunes. A record standing-room-only congregation joined in some of the singing and swayed and tapped to catchy rhythms.
Vestry Is Divided
Priests in traditional vestments stood before a candle-lighted altar and sang their regular chants with incense wafting about them. But much of the other ancient liturgy had been set to a jazz beat and the organ was silent while the combo played, often as accompaniment to the syncopations of the soloist and robed choir.
The Mass received a mixed reception from the record crowd of more than 500 persons who jammed a church usually attended by half that many.
The 12-man vestry appeared to be sharply divided both on the merits of the music and the propriety of synocpating a service. Several vestrymen indicated displeasure over bringing jazz into the church, and said the matter would be discussed at their next monthly meeting.
An usher said he thought the Mass was marvelous.
Officials of the National Council of Churches and the National Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church attended the service as "observers." They were all for jazz in church, but they agreed that this Mass was not up to their idea of American jazz standards. They thought the music was "corny."
Pianist Russ Martino, leader of the combo, director of the Stamford, Conn., High School band and organist in his own Roman Catholic church, said he did not care much for the music composed by Father Geoffrey Beaumont, but that it was the only jazz Mass available.
The Rt. Rev. Walter Henry Gray, Protestant Episcopal bishop of Connecticut, maintained an official silence about the presentation.
Tunes Disguised
The Rev. Anthony P. Treasure, rector of the church, used the Jazz Mass as the theme for his sermon, stressing that religion is part of every phase of life. He said he also hoped to show young people that religion is not "fuddy-duddy" or out of date.
As the worshipers arrived, the
Masked Bandit Beats Actor, Takes $3,200
HOLLYWOOD (UPI)—Actor Jay Robinson, 29, reported to police Sunday night he was beaten and robbed of $3,200 in cash by a masked bandit who invaded his motel room.
Robinson, best known for his film role as Caligula in "The Robe," said the bandit was wearing a woman's stocking over his head but that during the brief struggle the mask was torn off and he recognized the bandit.
Police issued a bulletin for the arrest of the thief and a woman companion.
Robinson told police the woman had spent the night with him the night before and saw him put the cash in his shoe before going to sleep. He said he had withdrawn the money to make a trip east.

The Rev. Anthony P. Treasure, rector of the church, used the jazz Mass as the theme for his sermon, stressing that religion is part of every phase of life. He said he also hoped to show young people that religion is not "fuddy-duddy" or out of date.
As the worshipers arrived, the combo, which had finished up pearing at a night club only a few hours before, played a progressive jazz improvisation of "I'll Remember April."
"There’s a Witness in God’s Mercy” was followed by “Bernies Tune.” After the “Agnus Del” came “Lover Come Back to Me” and a few blues songs. The rectors blessing brought a spontaneous rendition of "It’s Almost Like Being in Love."
The pop tunes apparently were so well disguised they were not recognized by most listeners. Many voiced surprise when they learned what they had heard played in church.
“Gloria” In Foxtrot
In the actual Mass, the “Allehila” was sung in a definite ragtime. The “Kyrie” and “Agnus Del” were in beguine rhythms. The “Gloria” and several hymns were in foxtrot time. A bold jazz melody dominated the “Creed,” “Sanctus,” and “Our Father.”
The Lords Prayer was played in ragtime while the congregation knelt in prayer. Some worshippers said the jazz made them feel less reverent than usual. Others felt no difference.
Mrs. Leonard Holmes, of Hampton, Conn., and her husband got up at 4:30 to drive here to listen to the music.
"I thought it was perfectly beautiful," she said. "You have modern architecture in churches. If that isn’t an anachronism, this would not be, either."

Battle Over State FEPC Bill Set Today
By JERRY REYNOLDS
United Press International
SACRAMENTO (UPI)—The first point of the Brown administration program—a bill to prevent discrimination against job seekers—runs into its biggest battle today.
The deciding fight over whether the state will get a strong law on fair employment practices (FEPC), such as Gov. Edmund G. Brown wants, or an amended version was scheduled for this afternoon in the Senate.
Sen. George Miller (D - Martinez), who is handling the measure in the upper house polled the Senate last Friday and said he had a majority of votes to beat down amendments opposed by Brown.
On the other hand, Sen. John F. McCarthy (R-San Rafael) said "I don't think they can do it." He hinted some votes might be changed over the "long weekend."
Bill's Provisions Explained
The FEPC bill itself was authored by William Byron Rumford (D-Berkeley), one of the two Negro assemblymen. It is designed to set up a fair employment practices commission which would enforce the state's policy against discrimination in employment because of race, creed or national origin.
The Senate Finance Committee last Thursday adopted amendments authored by Sen. Hugh M. Burns (D-Fresno), president pro tempore of the Senate, to cut some of the powers of the proposed commission.
Under the Burns amendments,

Many members will not come back until Wednesday and Congress will mark time on Thursday for the traditional season-opening major league baseball game in the nation's capital.
But there are plenty of legislative headaches ahead. Perhaps the first will come in a budget test on the Democrats' big airport construction bill.
This measure could invite a presidential veto, depending on whether a 465-million-dollar or a 297-million-dollar version emerges from a House-Senate conference committee.
Other bills threatening President Eisenhower's balanced budget goal include the $2,700,000,000 housing bill which passed the Senate and is now in the House, a Senate-approved $398,000,000 depressed areas bill awaiting House action and legislation boosting funds in the World Bank and Monetary Fund but applying the costs to the fiscal 1990 instead of this year's budget. The latter bill is in conference.
Fights are ahead on labor reform legislation, next major issue to come up in the Senate; a civil rights bill; some kind of aid-to-education program; defense appropriations, and foreign aid spending.
**U.S. Says 'No' to Eleanor's Baby Camel**
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Agriculture Department barred "Duchess," a baby camel Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt bought in Israel last month, from entry into the United States.
Mrs. Roosevelt purchased the camel for her 16-year-old grand daughter, Nina, and planned to ship it to her Hyde Park, N.Y., estate.
L. C. Heemstra, director of the Animal Quarantine Division, explained that U.S. law prohibits entry of domesticated animals from countries where hoof and mouth disease exists.
He said the department acted before Duchess was removed from Israel to avoid an embarrassing situation for Mrs. Roosevelt.

**Eye Expert Visualizes Green Highways**
NEW YORK (UPI) — An eye specialist suggested Sunday the nation's highways be tinted green and divided with yellow lines to rest the eyes of the nation's drivers.
Dr. Alden N. Haffner, executive director of the Optometric Center of New York, said the "lack of color in black" tends to make it fatiguing to the eyes. Combined with white, it causes more fading glare.
**Officer's Death Bullet Stops L.A. Speeder**
LOS ANGELES (UPI)—A motorcyclist was killed Sunday by a police bullet at the climax of a chase on the Harbor Freeway at speeds reaching 80 miles an hour.
The victim was identified as Ledrew Keith Pendarvis, 44, Los Angeles. Traffic Officer R.W. Steel fired the fatal shot.
Steel said he and his partner, L.E. Ritter, were issuing a citation on the freeway when Pendarvis speed past. The officers chased him, then fired six shots when the motorcyclist turned off the freeway at Vernon Avenue and began to outrun the squad car.

Experimental Tobacco To Hit Market Soon
LOS PADRES, Calif. (UPI) — A new type of cigarette tobacco is being made up at the California Men's Colony tobacco factory on an experimental basis, it was reported recently.
The new mix—part burley and part bright leaf—will be finely shredded and is considered ideal for use in cigarette rolling devices.
If the new mix proves satisfactory, spokesmen say, "there is a good possibility of its being adopted for general use in the institutions of the state."

Will Blunt Demo Spending Program
By WILLIAM J. EATON
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Administration officials hoped today that a report on March unemployment would blunt Democratic and labor demands for multi-billion-dollar spending programs to spur the economy.
The government was expected to issue a report Tuesday showing that the number of jobless in March declined by about 300,000 from the 4,449,000 unemployed in February. This would be more than the normal seasonal drop.
The Democratic Advisory Council charged Sunday night the United States is headed for disaster unless the Eisenhower administration stops trying "to balance the budget without balancing the economy."
In a special statement on unemployment, the 27 Democratic Party leaders called for new programs to improve schools, housing, medical care, transportation facilities, natural resource protection and slum clearance.
Similar demands for government action were expected from the AFL-CIO conference on unemployment opening here Wednesday. More than 5,000 union leaders and unemployed workers planned to attend the one-day meeting.
The Democratic statement came as Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell predicted that unemployment would drop to about three million by November.
The decline to three million, he said, would be "practically full employment" in the U.S. economy.
