Sinatra Sings
For Free
By JAMES BACON
HOLLYWOOD IJ1—Frank Sina
tra, singing only for his supper,
opened Friday night at the Mo
cambo before more stars than
turned out for the recent Oscar
award.
The thin singer, who gets $25,
0D0 a week at Las Vegas’ Sands
Hotel, where he’s an owner, is
working the Mocambo nine days
for exactly nothing.
Charlie Morrison, owner of the
Mocambo and an old friend of
Sinatra, died a few week ago
after a two-year illness.
Last week the unpredictable
Sinatra called up Morrison’b wid
ow and casually offered to work
in the club here.
If Friday night’s performance
was any criterion, Frankie should
never sing for money again. Vet
eran Sinatra fans all agreed he
never sung better.
It was a black tie, mink coat
opening, but some of Hollywood’s
most glamorous femmes squealed
like bobby soxers when Sinatra
dipped low into the sexy registers.
It was the first time Sinatra
had even appeared on the Sunset
Strip. The closest he ever got to it
before was in 1938 when he sang
with Harry James’ band in Bev
erley Hills.

Canada Promotes
Goodwill Between
U. S. and Britain
HALIFAX, N. S., UP)—Foreign
Secretary Lester Pearson said
Friday night the essential aim of
Canada’s foreign policy must be
to promote goodwill between
Britain and the United States.
“The United States and the
United Kingdom need each other,”
Pearson said, “need to count on
each other’s support in a danger
ous world more than anything
else—and Canada needs them
both.”
Speaking before the combined
Men’s and Women’s Canadian
Clubs of Halifax. Pearson said
realization of this need might be
easier to achieve if the British
could always remember and re
spect the vast burden of world
wide responsibility now being
carried by the United States.
It would also help, he contin
ued, if Americans could remem
ber that the British carried that
burden for generations.

[Expert Says
! Sonic Booms
[Harmless
i
ST. LOUIS, tif)—An Air Force
expert says sonic booms are harm
less but so loud that many people
“find cracks they hadn’t noticed
before and asked the Air Force
to pay for them.”
People assiime that because it’s
so loud the boom must have
caused the damage, Col. Roy R.
Walker told delegates to a confer
ence on building codes Friday.
The boom—the noise a jet plane
makes breaking through the sound
barrier—generates 10 times the
noise of the loudest thunderclap
on record, he said, but generates
only 5 pounds of pressure per
square foot.
It takes 70 pounds of pressure
per square foot.
It takes 70 pounds of pressure
per square foot to damage even
the flimsiest structures, White
said.
If it feels like the timbers are '
shivering, he said, that’s because
sense organs in the skin need only
pressures measured in millionths
per square inch to cause a sensa
tion of movement.
