Wf h His Third Herd:
Herman
Will Play
Tomorrow
BY FERRY REECE !
Woody Herman, "the!
youngest oldtimer in the bus-'
iness.V and his Third Herd
orchestra (winners, of the!
Metronome poll) return toj
Carolina for the third time to- j
morrow to play a two-hour
jazz concert under the auspi-!
ces of Graham Memorial. j
Hermr.;i, who played his!
first date here for Winter Germans j
in 1950, then returned for a St. j
Patrick Day GM concert last spr- j
ing, will play from 4 until 6 p.m.
in Memorial Hall tomorrow.
Herman's concert last year, wh
ich featured himself on clarinet
and sax, Cy Touff on bass trumpet,
his "college age" orchestra and
vocalist Dolly Houston, played to
about 1,200 eager UNC jazz fans.
Late yesterday afternoon GM
Director Jimmy Wallace said that !
there were still plenty of tickets
available for the concert at $1 a
shot.
Woody has been playing the
clarinet professionally for about
30 years, and he and his bands
have gone through all of the ph
ases of .iazz music. First it was dix
ieland, then "big-band" jazz or
"swing", since the forming of the
new Third Herd the trend has been
toward the modern or progressive j
jazz field. Many of the members
of the Herman group now are from '
the Stan Kenton-West Coast jazz
"school."

BY LOUIS KRAAR
Chapel Hill gasoline costs more than in other towns because dealers
have to pay more for it, according to most local service station owners.
None of the dealers seemed sure of the reasons why Chapel Hill
dealers were charged more, though. And several told conflicting stories '
about the price situation.
This reporter polled seven stations within the Chapel Hill town
limits, where regular, gas averages 32.37 cents per gallon and premium
35.2.
It was pointed out to each dealer that gas is cheaper in Durham and
Raleigh, according to a survey by Legislator Norwood Bryan.
WHAT THEY SAID:
Here is what the local gas sellers said:
"We have no control over prices. They are determined by the in
voice we got from the distributor," O. C. Pendergraft said.
Pendergraft, who runs a Texaco station here, added that price deter-
! mination lies "with the wholesaler.
' "I don't know why it should be any cheaper at other places," Pender
graft observed.
E. G. Merritt, an Esso dealer, said that "cut-throat competition" in
Raleigh and Durham keeps prices down in those towns. He, too, declar
ed that wholesalers determined gas prices locally.
"Frankly, I'm at a loss as to the reason why prices are high here,"
Watts Poe at Poe Motor Co. said. He said that his distributor Kenan
Hull in Durham, determined the gas price "since we have to have
seme margin to make a profit."
PRICES 'NORMAL'
Obie Davis said, "Gas prices are supposed to be the same all over
! North Carolina. Chapel Hill's prices are normal.
J Davis contended that gas was cheaper in Raleigh and Durham" be
I - ... .
cause of heavy competition and
' price wars here."
f
Asked if Chapel Hill dealers
did.
But W. N. Tyler, just down the street from Davis, when asked the
same question, said: "No, dealers don't agree on the prices of gas."
Herbert Pendergraft, the last dealer visited, took off his cap,
scratched his head and said:
'LET ME KNOW
"I've been in the gas business for 30 years in Chapel Hill. And I've
been trying to figure out Chapel Hill prices ever since I started. If you
can find out why they're high, I wish" you'd let me know."
Meantime, Max Crohn, head of the student Legislature .Gasoline
Committee,' has said that the high cost of gas was "primarily because
tankers had to transport the gas further and a reasonable profit had
to be made by the establishments to survive,"
