Automobiles fly the flag on their radiators. It is not a symbol of rebellion against the United States. It is the symbol of schism in the Democra tic party. The unpopularity of Har ry Truman is not personal; it, too, is symbolic of distress at the cor ruption in Washington and the treachery in foreign affairs. To a New Yorker, like myself, the South is always a puzzle. I said to James Stahlman, publisher of the Nashville Banner, that the col umnists and correspondents who speak so surely about all things American from the vantage point of Washington and New York ought to be required to take “atmosphere” trips all over the United States. This country is so varied; popu lar responses are so different; no one part of the country can speak for all of It. Each’area has a poli tical and social climate that is dis tinct and important. It is not a matter of a particular story or even of an individual. It is some thing that goes deep into the three centuries of American history, the events of today, the nuances of activities today, were manufactur ed, by historical processes, long ago, ofte/i long before men and women migrated to this oeuntry. It is like the cast of the profile of seemingly unrelated individuals whose nose and forehead and co loring bespeak, centuries ago per haps, a common ancestor. The Scotch-Irish Convenanters who settled in Tennessee, for in stance, were an unusually sturdy and uncomprising breed of man. The schism in the Democratic Party may or may not express it self in votes in 1952. I do not be lieve that I am sufficiently exper ienced to judge that. But it is ob vious that it does and must in fluence the votes of members of the Senate and the Hauae of Rep resentatives. Tfier~cann6t arofd the “atmosphere” any more than I could. They may kill off the rebel lion before Election Day. but they will not forget that -Harry Tru man was once one of them and is no longer. These Democrats feel disgraced. They feel betrayed by their own party. So far as I can gauge senti ment, these men remain Demo crats and are likely. In spite of their thinking, to pursue their sen timents. Naturally, the Northern Democrats stake their plans on sen timent winning over knowledge and thought. A break must come sooner or later in this “Atmosphere”. Just as New England is producing a New Deal Republican Party to meet the shifting population of that area, so in the South some day an issue will arise which by sentiment will overcome the traditions of the Ci vil War. It may be so in 1952 or it may not, but it must come because the thinking of these Southerners is too much like that of most Northerners for a meeting of the minds not to occur sometime.' The sophisticates of the New York skyscrapers call this region “The Bible Belt” in derision, fail ing to recognize that it is no more possible to separate American tra dition from the Bible than It is ' Russia from the Ikon. God is for many of these people not an ab straction or a subject for sociologi cal disputation. He is a living, in fluencing, destinating Bring, a guiding intelligent. The ridicule which the very smart minds hurl ed at “The Bible Belt” did not seep below the surface; it was lit tle more than Yankee drivel to them. And teat is probably a cor rect view. The importance of the relation ship between these people and the Bible is in their distress at the corruption and immortality of Washington. When I heard Wash ington and New York referred to as Sodom and Gomorrah. I was not shocked. Somehow, In the “At mosphere” in which I found myself, it seemed to be right, the sophis ticates’ attitudes often reflect a revolt against American tradition.

OL MISTER BREGER ■■ I I 1 “Game’s about to start, folks ... State Tech wins the toss and elects.to face the television cameras .. . * NEW YORK By ED SULLIVAN Behind the Scenes A bearded and mustached oboe player, with a symphonic background acquired in the Eastman School of Music, is the hottest figure in “pop” music. The Rochester, N. Y., dynamo is Mitch Miller, recording director for Columbia Records, who has shaped records'that have sold, conserva tively, 30,000,000 platters. Because of his classical background and his apprenticeship as an oboe star, Miller knows more about novel background music for “pop” soloists than any of his contemporaries. He’s employed French horns and harpsichords to produce sounds never before heard as background for Frankie Laine, Patti Page, Vic Damone, Rosembry Clooney, Tony Bennett and <Juy Mitchell. Obviously, his formula has paid off, In “Mule Train,” he used the crackle of whips to arrest your ears. Miller, it seems to musicians, features unusual sounds more heavily than he features melody. He’s had five records which .have sold over 1,000,000 copies each. Not since the Decca triumphs of the late Jack Kapp has anyone scored so many jackpot hits. 1 Ferdie Qrofe, Glenn Miller, David Rose, Russell Bennptt (In the musical comedy field), Gordon Jenkins, Duke Ellington and Jimmy Lunceford have been some of the all-time greats in the field of musical arrangements. Benny Goodman is one of the nonpareils. Mitch Miller is not In that area. He is a genius in sounds, rather than in arrangements. v When Ferdie Grofe, orchestrated Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue," or “Grand Canyon Suite,” he set himself far apart from the field. His genius was organized and directed by Paul Whiteman, not in same musical league as Grofe, but with the ability to Interpret what Grofe' wrote. Glenn Miller had that same capacity for organizing, of being able to tell his arrangers exactly what he wanted and the additional faculty of getting his men to play it exaqtly as he wanted it projected. Grofe, despite his genius, never made good as a conductor. He could 'orchestrate it but he couldn’t use his baton to inspfre the rendition he’d dlstin • guishad. i 4, Tommy Dorsey had the same sort of faculty that distinguished Miller's instructions to arrangers, plus an uncanny skill in picking soloists with popular appeal of a Sinatra, a Dick Haymes and a Jo Stafford. To the best recollection of maestra ’ Ray Block, the trend from melody to arrangements happened around 1928. He thinks it was Paul Whiteman who first introduced sections of trumpets, saxophones, trom bones and fiddles, but whether the revolutionary influence was White man or Grofe resolves itself into the old riddle as to whether the' egg the chicken. Up to. that time, bands had a single trumpet,'a single sax, a single trombone and each hugged the melodic line. Whiteman and Grofe, in “When Day Is Done,” illustrated the possible symphonic effects. Vincent Lopez was and is a flashy instrumentalist. So is Harry James. So was Duchin. So is Cavallero. So is Prlma. Jimmy Lunceford not only was a fine instrumentalist but a magnificent arranger. Even today, bands designate certain treatments as “Lunceford’s two-beat arrangement.” Ellington, as composer and instrumentalist and conductor, had style and “feel.” i Jerome Kern, of course, was the musician’s musician. He could do anything—compose, arrange, direct. As a final plus, all of these things were joined to a tremendous, sense of theatre. Richard Rodgers is the modern counterpart, of Kern, with a genius that is best characterized as blinding. Ted Fio Rito was an unusually fine musician and band stylist. Greatest, perhaps, according to the records over 20 years, Is Guy Lom bardo whose danceable rhythms, almost on the “corny” side, Indicate that people still enjoy melody. Freddie Martin Is a stylist, so Is Sammy Kaye. Hal Kemp was one of the greatest, until death. Stan Kenton is to music what Dali is to modern painting. Earl Hines’ piano magic still Is copied by musicians. Clyde McCoy, Artie Shaw and Jimmy Dorsey would take high rank among great “pop” Instrumentalists. So would Frankie Carle. At the moment, however, the rage of the “pop” music field is the bearded oboe player from Rochester, Mitch Miller. • If you see Junior taking oboe lessons, it’s because the kid knows all about Frankie Laine and Patti Page and Rosemary Clooney, and he wants to get on the mule train that is toting 1 away Mitch Miller’s gold. cuhes ■M; (Jfik _v ji * U Mj f / * JaQjflK Walter WinchejH In New S7 York IST WMCHfU Memos of a Girl Friday Dear Mr. W: Judjr Garland is coming along all right, I hear.

CASE B-39i: Gloria G.. aged 34, is the beautiful wife of a pro fessional man. "Dr. Crane, we have been mar ried for 11 years and I have done everything I could think of to be a good wife to Paul,” she began. She was perfectly groomed and the typical aristocrat. But I could see that she was fighting to hold back the tears. “If I am put for an afternoon party or theater engagement. I have always gotten home ahead of Paul so that I could greet him and let him know I was happy to sec him. “A house serins so lonely, I think, when a man arrives tired and hungry but doesn’t find his wife there to welcome him. “I have also protected his good name and tried to be both an hon or as well as a credit to him in every way. “Knowing that I have had to share his daily, life with his pat ients and the public, I have cher ished his love as my very own, private part of him. “But, oh.

I get many pleasant letters from her, and en joyed to teU her how my “dreams come tine.” Because of my enthu siastic letters, she wants’to come and live her life here.

Life Isn’t easy for young people in France: but It Isn’t easier here. Denise doesn’t speak any. English and 1 don’t think she will be able to do anything here besides get married. I know she can be a wonderful wife to some man here, because she is raised to be one. But in France she has e good fam ily, a fine mother and a nice way of living. Bhe works, but may spend .her money as she likes; and in her social life she meets lots of people —end lota Os boy*, with opportuni ty to find tee right one.

Gloria also loves her husbknd, though her Injured pride had tern porarlly caused her to go around in circles to the point where she couldn't think straight.

This couple has been selfish. For eleven years they have loved each other alone. They have not started a family, nor do they even belong to a church. So their love Has not grown properly. They both feel vaguely frustrated. „ Love is somewhat like a storage™ battery. It grows weaker unless It is charged. But,- unlike the bat tery, love is recharged by expend ing Itself.
