Anchorage High School Band Receives
Standing Ovation In Los Angeles From
Music Educators National Conference
LOS ANGELES, WV-The staid
Philharmonic Auditorium echoed
the unfamiliar sound of whistles
and cheers after the Anchorage
High School Band concluded an
invitational concert Monday.
Some 2,000 delegates to the
Music Educators National Con
ference gave the 102 - member
hand a standing ovation and in
sisted on three curtain calls.
The educators had been asked
not to seek encores or curtain
calls so the conference could pro
ceed on schedule, but they not
only disregarded the ban on cur
tain calls but asked and received
a s'; :ech from conductor Jack
McGuin.
*T n glad you Americans like
us,” McGuin began, making a
' good natured reference to Al
aska’s battle for statehood.
He expressed pride in the band,
saying its reception here exceed
ed all expectations. He said in
conclusion that all tribute be
long' i to the students themselves.
The speech drew another stand
ing ovation.
The band played six selections:
“Our United States March,”
“Hollywood Moods,” “Espani
Cana,” “Athletic Festival March,”
“Wing Ding” and “Alaska’s Flag.”
The stirring strains of the last
one, Alaska’s official song, got
special praise from the audience.
16 Go On Lawrence Welk Show
Later in the day the entire
band visited a rehearsal of the
Lawrence Welk TV show in
Hollywood. Sixteen of the group
— eight boys and eight girls —
were selected to appear as 'ball
room dancers on the show, tele
vised live in the evening.
The resi of the band returned
to the Hollywood Knickerbocker
Hotel, a large number to the
hotel’s heated swimming pool.
The group left for home Tues
day morning from International
Airport on the same two Alaska
Airlines DC-4s that brought them
to California.
En route to the airport the
youngsters stopped briefly at the
home of Hugh O’Brien, televi
sion’s Wyatt Earp, final treat of
an eventful visit.
Eisenhower Says Worst
Of The Recession
Is Over About Now
WASHINGTON, Wl— President
Eisenhower said today he be
lieves the country is going thru
the worst of the economic reces
sion right now.
Eisenhower told his new con
ference many factors now imply
the bottom of the slump is close
or even has been reached.
The American people now
should be buying on the basis of
•what products are worth, Eisen
hower said.
He added there ought to be bet
ter salesmanship, better packag
ing and better advertising by
business to get the public to buy
when it thinks it has a bargain,
instead of worrying about what
is going to happen in the future.
In response to questions, Ei
senhower said he never has ex
cluded the possibility of a situ
ation’s arising that would make a
tax cut seem desirable.
But he said every thoughtful
person—and he inoluded leaders
of both political parties—regards
a tax reduction as a serious step.
They are not going to be stam
peded into it, he said.

Upswing In Mineral
Industries Predicted
For Next Summer
WASHINGTON, Ltt — Assistant
Secretary of Commerce Frederick
H. Mueller predicted an upswing
in the depressed mineral indus
tries next summer.
He testified at a Senate Interior
subcommittee hearing on bills to
benefit the minerals extraction
industries.
Mueller said consumption of
major minerals in 1958 would be
about 10 per cent less than in
1957. Consumption in 1959 will
return to 1957 levels, he said.
Sen. Murray (D-Mont), Interior
Committee chairman,' asked Muel
ler’s opinion as to whether the
mining industries had reached the
“bottom of the recession.” Mueller
said he believed consumption
would continue at present levels
until about mid-summer, when it
would begin rising.

Gen. Taylor Says
Russia is Long On
Military Hardware
WASHINGTON, W>V—Gen. Max
well D. Taylor says the tipoff to
Soviet wealth in military equip
memt is that Russia now is giving
some of its best war goods to its
European satellites.
The Army Chief of Staff, in
censored testimony released by a
House Armed Services subcom
mittee, said for a long time the
Russians “apparently held back
their best equipment out of
sight.”
“The equipment we saw in
Germany was not their best,” he
added. “And only recently have
we seen indications of their bring
ing forward their best . . .
“But the most significant indic
ation of their richness in equip
ment is the fact they are giving
excellent, post-World War II
equipment to their satellites.”
The Army chief, who appeared
before the subcommittee March
18, said the Red Army has never
“been one for spit and shine” and
that by appearance alone the
standards of Russian troops “is
certainly below that of the best
sodiers of Western Europe.”
But Taylor said “There is no
indication of lack of training . . .
from what we know of their tac
tical training, it is quite good.”
And he said the Soviets have
“much more mechanized equip
ment and much more armor, rela
tively speaking, in their forces
then we have.”

Mike Todd
Buried In Chicago
By JAMES BACON
HOLLYWOOD, UPL-Liz Taylor,
after the ordeal of seeing her hus
band buried, rallied today toward
as near-normal existence as could
be expected.
The beautiful brunette went
through a harrowing experience
yesterday in Chicago’s Waldheim
Cemetery. But it seemed to rouse
her from the numbness that had
hit her Saturday when she heard
that producer Mike Todd and
three others had perished in a
New Mexico plane crash.
A special airliner brought her
and a party of 11 back to Holly
wood last night after a funeral
that was marked by Liz’ near col
lapse and the outbursts of a bro
ther of Todd.
On the plane ride home, Liz
seemed fully aware of the tra
gedy that had hit her. Earlier she
had expressed disbelief, repeating
over and over: “It can’t be true.
I know I’ll wake up and find it
never happened.”
Dr. Rexford Kennemar, who
accompanied her on the sad trip,
said he was amazed at the stam
ina the actress had shown.
Carl Goldbogen, a Glendale,
Calif., taxi driver, almost dis
rupted the ceremony before it got
underway.
He stormed at Dick Hanley,
Todd’s executive secretary, as the
funeral party entered the tent
that protected the group from the
gaze of an estimated 2,500 per
sons milling in the cemetery.
Goldbogen’s objection was to
the presence of Hanley at the
family services. Family sources
said later that Goldbogen hpd
been on the outs with Hanley,
but was on good terms with Todd
and other family members.
A brother of Todd finally quiet
ed Carl and the simple Jewish
ceremony went on, interrupted by
the sobbing of relatives and two
screams by Elizabeth.
Alaska Cherry Pie Contest Champ
Carol Ann Buzby, 16, Fairbanks, who baked her way to the
* Alaskan championship, admires her cherry pie baked in an
Admiral electric range. Here is her winning recipe:
Cherry Pie
2 (16 oz.) cans red tart 1 cup sugar*
cherries, drained 3 tablespoons cornstarch
(3 cups) 4 drops red food coloring
1/4 cup cherry juice 1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
In saucepan, mix salt, sugar, cornstarch and cherry juice. Cook
until mixture begins to boil vigorously. Add cherries, stirring
well; boil 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add food coloring
and butter. Cool while preparing crust by placing saucepan in
bowl of cold water. Pour into 9" pastry-lined pie pan, cover with
lattice top, sealing edges by crimping with fingers. Bake in 450°
oven for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 375° and bake 15 minutes
longer or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for
2 hours. Serve.
If frozen cherries are used, reduce sugar to 1/2 cup.
Crnst ,
1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
flour 7 to 8 tablespoons cold
1/2 teaspoon salt water
Mix salt with flour in a mixing bowl. With blender, cut shorten
ing into flour until mixture is in even bits no larger than peas.
Sprinkle water over flour by tablespoonfuls, tossing with fork
until just enough water has been added so that you can pat the
dough lightly together to form a ball. Handle as little as possible
and do not knead. Divide-into 2 balls, one slightly larger than the
other. Roll the larger ore for the bottom crust, on a floured pastry
cloth to an inch larger than pie pan. Line pan with dough and trim
evenly; roll remaining pastry and cut in strips with lattice cutter.
