Post Syndicate) Philippines Deserve Best c[,ietteri to IIe 6ditor The 'New' Jazz To The Editor: IN THE SUNDAY ISSUE of The Daily, the usually capable Lex Walker fell far short of the mark in describing the new, history-making album, Jazz at the Philharmonic. It is only once in a decade that a musical gem, such as this album, is uncovered and presented for public enlightenment. And like a gem, Jazz at the Philharmonic sparkles for two reasons. Initially, this is the first time in history that a real jam session has been put on wax successfully, capturing the spon- taneity, the clinkers, and the wonderfully-timed extemporaneous ensemble work behind each soloist that comes naturally when men of inesti- mable ability become moved by good music. The album reflects a happy, joyous kind of music that has beat and soul, and yet does not represent the ultimate in jazz. The men are good. They swing, and they've got a certain spirit that could never have been captured under any other circumstances. Gone are the limitations in terms of time on the ten- or twelve-inch record which naturally hampers the technique, muscianship and inventiveness of the artist. Gone also is the jazz which is set up in terms of carefully notated arrange- ments and minutely planned solos. IT HAS BEEN SAID that jazz grew essentially out of the impulse for individualism. The greatest jazz performers are musical non-con- formists-the virile originators who relinquish the norm to create new modes. Jazz at the Philhar- monic reflects a new trend in American swing- the much discussed "re-bop" style, initiated by the indefatiguable Dizzy Gillespie, and copied by 367,890 other musicians at the last count. In this album, the "re-bop" off chord, solo gym- nastics are effectively given off by Gillespie's foremost disciples, Howard McGhee and Joe Guy, who display wonderful jazz sense in their solos. In the first and most outstanding recording "How High the Moon," Illinois Jacquet, origi- nator of the "Flying Home" tenor sax solo, blows a powerful, heavily-intonated series of riffs that overshadow the subsequent reed work of Charlie Ventura, one of Krupa's side- men, who turns in a beautifully restrained ten- or sax solo. The ensemble work in this tune is wonderful, each man displaying an incredibly harmonic ear. After nice spots by Garland Finney on piano, and Howard Livingston (reminding one of the late Charlie Christian) on electric guitar, Willie Smith brings this exciting number to a climax by executing his greatest alto solo. The erstwhile Harry James' saxist reaches the heights of jazz emotion, and when it seems that his horn is ut- terly uncontrolled, Smith knocks it off with a highly sensitive return to the melody for three short bars, which leads gently into a thrilling exhibition by the "Chicago Flash" (anonymity for Gene Krupa) on the drums. -Bill Matney, Jr. * * s a Whose Conflict? To The Editor: VITAL MATTERS affecting the Palestine ques- tion have not been brought out in your letter column so far, and deserve to be stated. First, all of the Arab opposition in Palestine against Jewish imigration is embodied in a hand- ful of feudal landlords whose main grudge against the Jewish immigrant consists of the fact that he has raised immeasurably the Arab living stan- dard, thereby depriving Arab landlords of much of their power over their poorer countrymen whom they had ruthlessly exploited. It should require no reiteration by this time that Pales- tinian Arab health and living standards as well as Arab immigration to Palestine, have risen consistently and in geometric proportion to the influx of Jews. Second, there is no conflict between Jews and Arabs in Palestine. The Arab population, if canvassed honestly and impartially, would declare itself overwhelmingly in favor of in- creased Jewish immigration. The 1300 years in which the Arabs are supposed to have domin- ated the country they were almost invariably a pitifully suppressed group, groaning under the Crusader or the Ti rk. It is nonsense now to speak of a political consciousness among this vast group of illiterate peasants whose educa- tional processes begin mostly in Jewish schools. The conflict exists. But it is a conflict between Jews, to whom the question of Palestine is liter- ally a question of life or death, and an Arab clique, spawned by the Nazis, but now backed by Britain and by Russia, a clique clinging leech- like to their people through possession of both wealth and oil. -Richard Arens DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING SCHEDULE OF EXAMINATIONS June 13 to June 19, 1946 NOTE: For the courses having both lectures and quizzes, the time of exercise is the time of the first lecture period of the week; for courses having quizzes only, the time of exercise is the time of the first quiz period.

Most of the strong reaction from Filipino students on campus has been the defense of President Manual Roxos which objected to the consideration of him as a collaborator. There is much to be said for Roxas, and it is a healthy sign that the Filipinos have rallied to the support of their president. It should be noted, however, that the contro- versy about Roxas has in no way invalidated the basic argument for delaying Philippine independence. The argument for delaying independence is concerned solely with the fact that Roxas did collaborate, for, while he may very well have had the best interests of the people at heart, the uncontestable fact is that there is a large group of Filipinos who do not believe so. They are convinced that he was a traitor and are bitterly opposed to him. Consequently, the solution to the already complex problem of the Central Luzon Plain has been further com- plicated because of the wide rift between Roxas as the head of the government and the peasants who are seeking land reform. Regardless of the motivations of the Demo- cratic Alliance, High Commissioner Paul V. Mc- Nutt agrees that the peasants have a just cause in their demands for relief from the undemo- cratic feudal landlordism that now exists. IT WAS STATED that Roxas, in sharp contrast to the peasants, was a member of the wealthy landlord class and was supported by the Ameri- can and Philippine moneyed interests. Does it matter that the lands are in his wife's name? Roxas advanced no program for solving the problems involved in land reform. His pre-war record is apparently brilliant; but, liberalism was certainly not evident during his campaign when he advocated .the suppression of the peasants by force. Surely this is no solution to the problems of a people with a just cause! As the situation appears at present, civil strife is inevitable unless some compromise can be reached that will be satisfactory to both parties. This is the crucial point in the consideration of the Phillipines. Internal conflict can destroy the national unity of the Islands for years to come and greatly impair the ability of the Philippines to function as an independent country. Surely the unity of the Filipino people is worth the prestige Ameriva would lose by delaying inde- pendence. The continuation of American control for two or three years during the beginning of large-scale rehabilitation would provide a stabilizing in- fluence to promote and encourage a peaceful solution to the most pressing problems. Under is no reason to presume that Congress is com- posed of idealists who will fulfil America's moral obligation to aid the Philippines after they become independent. All Americans should have an active interest in the success of Philippine independence be- cause it involves not only the people of the Philippines but indirectly all of the peoples of Asia who will be watching closely. A successfully independent Philippines will be a great en- couragement to the people of Asia. Since it seems probable that the final decree will come this year, despite its inadvisability, it is our solemn responsibility to aid the Islands as much as we possibly can. The Philippines have been promised rehabilitation funds ever since 1944. A year and a half is a long time for an appropriations bill to remain in Congress; the Islands need the money now. -Tom Walsh Open Forums IN THE POLITICAL SCRAMBLE of an election year, unusual emphasis is this year being placed on the importance of public education and interchange of ideas between voters and party leaders. This is especially apparent in the Republican Party. Harold Stassen's plan for a nationwide system of open forums, composed of rank and file members of the party is already operating in 35 states and according to its originator is proving highly successful. The fact that it is finding particular favor among younger voters and veterans may cause a counter move by the Democrats whose hold on young people may be decreasing even though Gallup polls have re- vealed that most young people favor continuance of the New Deal policy. Mr. Stassen's plan has become essentially a means for informing party leaders of public opinion and has worked on the principle of a two way thinking process between.rank and file members and major party policy framers. While no specific comparable move has been contemplated by the Democrats, the strong political arm of the CIO-PAC may, in spite of its claim of being an educational and not a political organization, serve to perform a simi- lar function between Democratic voters and party leaders. Without being under the offical wing of the Democratic Party, it is altogether possible that discussional forum groups will spring up under P.A.C. sponsorship. -Alice Jorgensen Publication in the Daily official Bul- letin is constructive notice to all mem- bers of the University.
