i 4 ■ THE CFERO RECORD. Tues., Jan. 15, 1963
Editorial—
Musk And You
The “he-man” sometimes tends to make fun of fine
music and in smaller communities or in rough civiliza-
tions this sometimes gains acceptance in a community
and good music becomes very hard to sell to the young-
ster and to many men and women of the community.
But good music, like good painting or good writing,
is always rewarding if it Ls understood. That is not to
say that everyone will like all good music, but practically
everyone will like some form of good music, once he is
educated to enjoy it and exposed to it.
And “good” music is not just opera. Much popular
music Is good and it does not have to be highbrow-
longhair stuff to be good.
Most of us underestimate the power of music. It can
be made to produce various sensations and responses.
■Hie movie makers have long known that music is the
key to drama on the screen. The audience reacts, often
unknowingly, to the music as much as to the screen-
play. And music is the key to success on the legitimate
Mage in many productions.
Music can also soothe the mind and soul. It can
afford relaxation when almost nothing else can.
So music has power that is often underrated. And
In the United States, too few parents insist that their
children study music and learn to play at least one
musical instrir rent. In many of the world’s older coun-
tries, it is accepted that a child is not fully-rounded un-
less he can play some musical insrtument.
When we fail to teach them of this great human
outlet, we/fob from them the pleasure which could be
theirs if they are properly educated. Countless hours of
listening and playing pleasure could be theirs, if they
were only taught what exists in the world of music and
how to appreciate it.
We can get rid of much of this degrading, rut-like
tranquilization by learning to appreciate good music.
That is the only “out” and that is the road to a higher
level of culture.
The RS-70 Blunder
Great Britain and France signed an agreement at
the beginning of December which provides for the jointj
development of a delta-wing supersonic airliner which
will cross the Atlantic Ocean in less than three hours.
British Aviation Minister Julian Amery explained
to the House of Commons that the project “is much fur-
ther advanced than any other known design for a sup-
ersonic airliner.” And he added: “The aircraft has
every chance, if we press on with it now, of securing a,
substantial part of the world market for supersonic
nr liners.” < . ' c
The great hope of the United States, and of U. S.
aircraft companies, is to win the race for a supersonic
airliner. This can only be done if the U.S. Government
pioneers work in the military sphere. And in this con-
nection, the Pentagon has been holding back on the
JtS-70 jet bomber program.
Thus we are up against odds in the beginning. That:
means we should do everything possible to expedite the,
RS-70 bomber program. Instead, the Pentagon refuse d
to spend over 150 millions appropriated by Congress for
this purpose earlier in the year. It may be that there is
doubt on the military justification of the RS-70 bomber,
but certainly there is no doubt on the question of its
importance to the United States in the race for the
next-step commercial airliner.
Urges Fair Limit lo Union Power
A “major roadblock" to government, labor and
business cooperation in achieving proper economic
growth and creating jobs is “lack of appropriate sta-
tutes to fairly limit labor union power," in the view of
Ladd Plumley, President of the Chamber of Commerce
of the U.S.

1\TEW YORK—This wouldn’t be the same
INI wonderful l'il ol’ town If we didn't have
a scandal to study over our morning coffee
and right now we have a lovely one. There s
a big investigation going on into the activities
of the State Liquor Authority, involving al-
leged graft on the authority's part -and it s
probable that the lid was blown off the whole
thing by an elegant downtown restaurateur
named Joe Brody, who carries a gold-headed
cane and looks as if he's on his way to Ascot
for the daily double.
For more than 10 years, or ever since he
bought a place from a man named Bill Mas-
sary for $75,000, Joe has been colliding head-
on with the SLA. He's picketed its offices,
he's been slapped with a 10-day suspension by the authority (hs

and he flatly tells anyone within hearing distance that the SLA

“IF I KNEW THEN (1951) what I know now. he exclaimed,
“I never would have gone into business. Yen think I am inter-
ested in publicity ? Hah ? Is that what you think . I don t
know who could suggest that, even though Joe c unto man y

check for $5,000 to Mayor Wagner as a down payment on th

into a haven for refugees. . vi,
According to Brody, whose Albert French Is one of the Vil-
lage’s better restaurants and is most noted for the fact that
waiters are not permitted to serve anyone more than thre«
drinks, 90 per cent of New York's saloonkeepers have bribed
the SLA. ' .
"It has what It calls a ‘friendly warning,'" he said m disgust.
"Jf a saloon is slapped with a number of violations, the SLA
can close it up in a minute. But no-they'rc too nice to do that,
so they issue this 'friendly warning’ . . . and the owner promptly
sells his place for from $20 to $100 thousand. In gratitude a
nice, sizable chunk of graft goes to someone if * '.This
is America?”
» • • •
JOE’S INDIGN ATION IS REAL—but it also is true that his
temperament is geared to trouble. “I enjoy a good fight, he
said with a gnn, “the way some guys like to play golf.
Bv law, he noted, the SLA is supposed to shut down any place
that serves drunks. According to Joe, this law is violated a
thousand times a week—and I guess most of us around have
seen at least a couple of hundred of those violations The last
time I went down to the authority to testify, ’ he said, I asked
them for the minutes but they refused me. What have they got
to hide? Why do they bar the press? They even tell the press
the wrong time for the hearing.
What may set Joe Brody apart from other saloon-owners in
Manhattan, aside from his war with the SLA, is the fact that
he's not a boozer. “I drink," he explained simply, “and I am
high—fast. Two drinks I am loaded; three drinks I am posi-
tively drunk. I even submit to a balloon test."
His customers, he added, “can eat all the steak they want,
look at the beautiful paintings, go for a free tour of the Village
in my bus- but I don't like them to drink." Brody, as you can
see, is a most unusual man.
