Old Satchmo Band
Sends Them With
‘Margie’ In London
LONDON, — It’s been more
than 20 years since Louis Arm
strong announced a hot trumpet
break ‘‘For you, Rex,” to win a
smile from British King George V.
But Old Satchmo still doesn’t
care that performers in England
aren’t supposed to call attention
to British royalty in their audi
ence.
Last night the gravel - voiced
American trumpeter growled to a
huge crowd in Empress Hall that
“We’ve got one of our special
fans in the house, and we’re really
gonna lay this one on for the
princess.”
The audience gasped but Prin
cess Margaret grinned and hugged
her knees as Armstrong promised
to “blow ’em down with one of
those good old ones from New
Orleans—Mahogany Hall Stomp.”
The princess- applauded ^enthus
iastically after the number, which
takes its name from a celebrated
brothel Madame Lulu White ran
in New Orleans’ Storyville red
light district.
Margaret attended the jazz con
cert with five friends and 10 de
tectives. The house went wild
when trombonist Trummy Young
announced he would play “Mar
gie”—and ended it lying on the
platform floor, working the trom
bone slide with his toes.

of the constitution by individual
clubs.
Individual participation in civil
defense was approved as well as
support of the General Federa
tion’s request for congressional
funds for recreation and forests.

support the new program of the

ELECTION RETURNS
First Division
(Continued from Page One)
JUNEAU, UP) — Henry Roden,
who retired last year as Terri
torial Treasurer, held a 56-vote
lead over Marcus Jensen of
Douglas after completion of the
absentee ballot count Tuesday for
the Democratic nomination for
Jensen’s Territorial Senate seat.
Roden had 2575 to Jensen’s 2519.
Unless a change should develop in
the final official territorial can
vass, Roden will be teamed with
former Sen. Frank Peratrovich as
the Democratic candidates in the
general election. Peratrovich poll
ed 3188 votes to top Senate can- 1
didates on both tickets.
The Republican candidates,
Mrs. Doris Barnes and Elton Eng
strom, were unopposed for their
party nominations.
The front runners for the six
Democratic nominations for House
seats were: Rep. Burke Riley, Rep.
Doris Sweeney, Andrew Hope,
Rep. Vernon Metcalfe, Douglas
Gray, Robert Ziegler.
The six Republicans apparently
nominated for the House are:
Frank Johnson, Rep. Joseph Mc
Lean, William Boardman, J. S.
MacKinnon Jr., Roberta Rich, and
Alfred Widmark.
Hickel Holds 66-Vote
Lead Over Benson For
GOP Committeeman Post
Ry the Asso« tated Press
Walter Hickel of Anchorage
held a slim 66-vote lead over
Henry Benson for Republican Na
tional Committeeman as counting
of absentee ballots was completed
Tuesday.
The totals were: Hickel 4172;
Benson 4106.
The count included absentee
ballots from the four divisions.
All precincts were reported ex
cept one listed as missing in the
Second Division and 11 in the
Fourth Division. There was no
certainty, however, whether vot
ing was held in all of them.
The race was the most closely
contested one in the primary elec
tion and the only territory-wide
<contest that wasn’t decided after
the first night and day of ballot
counting.
A charge early this week of ir
regularities in balloting in the
Second Division presumably will
not have any effect now because
they were being questioned by an
attorney for Hickel in a division
which went strongly for Benson.
A Hickel victory automatically
nullifies any point in the chal
lenge.
