LISTENING IN AGAIN:
Vaughn Monroe Calls
Jitterbugs Vanishing Race
By MARY STEIN
Daily Special Writer
DETROIT - JITTERBUGS of
the old Knock-'em-Down And-
Drag-'em-Out School are definite-
ly a vanishing race-and our au-
thority for this statement is a
man who knows what the teen-age
and college crowd has on its mind
musically - band-leader Vaughn
Monroe.
I had quite a chat with Monroe
$t Eastwood Park where he's been
playing this week. It was an after-
noon jamboree, and it looked as
though a goodlydnumber of hep-
eats were on hand.
"This is supposed to be a jam
session," Monroe admitted, "but
those kids out there"-and he mo-
tioned to the couples waiting out
an intermission-"are the last of
the Mohicans."
"Sweet music, and more of it-
that's the trend among teen-agers
today," Monroe, who has a radio
program of his own, said. Jitter-
bugging has its place, he com-
mented, but toned down and ab-
sorbed among the more refined
ballroom steps.
* * *
I NOTICED THAT he didn't
confine himself only to "hot-lick"
numbers at the so-called jam ses-
sion, but mixed them plentifully
with such successful Monroe
smoothies as "There, I've Said It
Again" and "Ballerina."
"My band may be a 'square' out-
7t, but all the boys know what's
going on in music today," he de-
clared. I got the impression that
their leader does, too. "People
want sweet music, so we play it for
them. You have to, if you want to
stay in business."
"What about be-bop and Stan
Kenton?" I wanted to know.
"They're on their way out,"
Monroe said. "Bands like Kenton's
are just too big to play authentic
jazz." Both the be-bop and dixie-
land varieties, in his opinion, can
be arranged, only for big bands.
"They have to be spontaneous,
or they don't jell," he declared.
* * *
WHILE I WATChED Monroe
direct the band and give out with
his famous baritone ("muscles on
his tonsils," as one critic put it),
Mrs. Monroe was sitting at a table
nearby, unconcernedly reading a
drug-store "pocket-book," She is
brown-eyed, tall and 'slim.
Monroe is plenty enthusiastic
about other things besides music.
In addition to photography, his
hobbies are model railroading and
flying.
Lately the latter has branched
out to become part of his business,
and now the Monroe band is the
only one in the country which is
air-borne. In its 14-passenger
Lockheed Lodestar, the band will
be off to Canadian parts after the
Detroit engagement.
* * ,*
MONROE HAS COME a long
way from his Jeannette, Pa., be-
ginnings. He started out'with con-
cert ambitions, but found that the
way to the top of the long-hair
ladder was pretty gueling. Not
that getting to the head of the
name-band list wasn't, too.
After two years at Carnegie
Tech, and then at the New Eng-
land Conservatory of Music, Mon-
roe got a band together. For six
long years they played Knights of
Columbus balls and DeMolay par-
ties for nickels.
But that was some time ago, and
now he is well up in the money. He
broke the record at Hollywood's
big Palladium dance palace last
year, with a $6500 a week take-
plus percentages.
Since 1940 he and the band have
been Victor recording stars, mak-
ing as many as 800,iTJ initial
pressings of a record. Monroe has
appeared briefly in two movies-
"Meet the People" and "Carnegie"
Hall."
Getting back to Monroe himself,
he's well-built, six-foot-two, 35-
ish, and even more handsome than
his pictures. We were impressed
by his down-to-earth friendliness.
When relaxing with photogra-
phy, his first love after music, he
calls on his superb German Leica.
He confided that he never uses a
light-meter for anything except
color photos "which are tricky."

442 Foreign
Students Here
Far East Contributes
Greatest Enrollment
Foreign student enrollment of
442, representing 52 countries, has
jumped eight per cent over last
year's total of 399 from 48 na-
tions, Robert B. Klinger, assistant
counselor to foreign students at
International Center, announced
yesterday..
The Far East, first last summer
with 152, still leads with 197, while
Latin America, second last year
with 134, maintains its position
despite a drop to 108.
The British Commonwealth is
the next in line with 60 (49 last
year), and the Near East with 35
(30 last year). The increase in
students from Europe is taken as
a sign of recovery. An additional
gain in European students is ex-
pected for the fall semester, Klin-
ger predicted.
Countries with 10 or more en-
rolled students are: China, 105;
India, 60; Canada, 48; Venezuela,
24; Mexico and Cuba, 20; Philip-
pine Islands, 19; and Columbia 18.
Enrollment of Chinese students
has almost doubled since last
summer when there were 58 stu-
dents here.
Students from American pos-
sessions number 31 as compared
with the 14 of last summer.
Alaska, Guam and Hawaii have
increases while Puerto Rico has
an insignificant loss.

Besides the unit, the spray com-
pressor, motor, the unit's heavy
iron base and 20 ft. of rubber hose
attachment were missing.

Tr 'u man Will
Honor Bolivar
BOLIVAR, Mo., July 2-/)--
Bolivar rushed through a state
of "orderly confusion" today as it
completed preparations for the
day its 3,000 residents expect to
be the biggest in its 112-year his-
tory.
Next Monday the community
will be host to President Truman
and President Romulo Gallagos,
of Venezuela as the latter presents
to the United States' a $100,000
statue of Simon Bolivar, for whom
the city was named.
The mayor' and the citizens of
Bolivar have been looking for-
ward to this day since the time
some seven years ago when it was
suggested that a statue of the
South American liberator be
placed in the largest city in the
United States bearing his name.
Welcome placards, bunting and
flags of the 21 South American
republics dot the city. More than
1,000 pounds' of turkey will be
served Monday to the guests.

ANRbRAI I(UE
WASHINGTON, July 2-UP)-
The farmers are sad. The hunters
are mad. The raccoons are glad.
And the women of this country
rare the cause of it.
That's the gist of a report to-
tlay from the Department of In-
terior.
The women are to blame, all
right. It seems that they no longer
wear coon skins, so the trappers
have quit trapping coons.
Result: The raccoons are hav-
ing the time of their lives, eating
succulent corn, gobbling the
rnuskrat's young, feasting cheer-
f'ully on a tasty dish of scrambled
birds' eggs.
Frank G. Ashbrook, of the Fish
and Wildlife Service, later ampli-
fied for a reporter:
Everybody Complaining
"We're getting reports from
everywhere, complaining. The
hunters say the raccoons are eat-
ing duck eggs. The farmers say
they're eating the corn. The
trappers say they're getting in the
rnuskrat houses and eating their
young."
What makes it so. tough, Ash-
brook explained, is that the rac -
coon gets around.
He is found in every part of the
United States except .the Great
Plains region.
Normally most people look on
the raccoon as a cute little fellow
who daintily washes his food before
he eats it, stays up all night, but
generally behaves himself much
better than the collegiate wearers
of coon skin coats in the 1920's.
Coons Multiplying
Normally the muskrat supplies
more skinm for the fur market
than any .other animal, with the
raccoon second.
Well, the muskrat is still first,
but the 'possum is second, the
skunk third and the raccoon has
dropped to fourth. In some places
a coon skin fetches only 15 to 25
cents. The coon population is the
highest it's been in years.
What can be done?
Ashbrook says he doesn't know.
Raccoons are protected by game
laws in every state. The hunting
seasons are usually short.
The fish and wildlife people
hope to run the raccoon price up
by finding some new uses-in
gloves, for instance - for coon
skins.
But they haven't had much luck

yet, and the complaints still roll
in.
Ashbrook says he's heard from
everybody but the raccoons.
They've probably been too busy
stuffing their fat little faces.

is a 5er'i01s mistake on it ni prt
of adults, Prof. Byron hughes, of
the education school, said yester--
day.
Speaking in the educat ion
school summer lect ure series,
Prof. Hughes cited the recent find-
ings from moder'n research in
child development which indicate
that the more reasonable policy is
to make use of the growth each
child has, whether it is fast or
slow.
Individual Standards
"Desirable standards can be set
only in terms of the individual
since scientific studies of growth
do not indicate life ages when all
children can be expected to at-
tain certain levels of growth."
The majority of the problems
adults experience with slow devel-
oping children come from their
own unreasonable behavior, Prof.
Hughes said. There is little essen-
tially wrong with growing slowly,
he pointed out. "It is wholly un-
reasonable and inaccurate for us
to conclude that he who grows
slowly is abnormal."
Repeated failure can be dan-
gerous and destructive for the
child, Prof. Hughes warned. Some
children may grow and live well
despite failure, none will develop
because of it, he added.
Reducing Problem
"Certainly the problems asso -
ciated with slow-growing children
would be markedly reduced if we
made it easy to succeed and diffi-
cult to fail."
Failure of adults to recognize
the individuality of the child's
rate of growth and to plan ac-
cordingly, present problems, Prof.
Hughes said. Parents and teach-
ers should adjust their expecta-
tions of what the child should do
according to the pattern of indi-
vidual growth because the child
needs wide opportunities for re-
sponsibility if he is to develop self-
understanding and self control.
UInderstanding Gaoals
"The adult must un derstand the
ehild's motives and goals if he tis
to provide effective educational
guidance."
The school is becoming, a place
where children like to go and not
a place where they have to go as
punishment for' being a child,
Prof. Hughes declared. This is due
to the new stress on uwnderstand
ing children's needs in relation to
their abilities to grow.
