Sen. W. M.

Rainach, chairman of the legislative segregation committee, released yesterday the Bernice church resolution passed June 15. The Bernice church board also criticized the way the resolution was presented to the annual con ference. It was "by design and cunning brought to the floor. in a manner calculated to secure consideration. after a large percentage of the lay delegates had left the conference for their homes," the resolution said.

The conference and Rev. D. W. Poole, supervisor of the Baton Rouge district, opposed the six bills setting up machinery to close public schools threatened with ra cial integration. The Bernice church's resolution also expressed alarm at what it called concerted efforts of "a multitude of self styled reform ers within the Louisiana Method ist Conference who are seeking to cast off the whole tissue of ancient custom like a tattered garment." It endorsed racial segregation to preserve "the integrity of both white and Negro races."

"Polka-Go-Round" is a one-hour piece that galumphed in Monday night as summer fill-in for Law rence Welk'a "Top Tunes and New Talent" show. It offered an eve ning of polkas and other kindred foliage. The polka, of course, one of those jump-around dances of Bohemian origin that enjoyed a great vogue in Europe during the middle of the last century. As entertain ment, I find it slightly less exciting than the quadrille, which I don't find very exciting at all Moreover, to compound the difficulty, Monday night's show at least the first half of which was all I was able to stand struck me as tired and mechani cal, a pathetic attempt to grind out fun, fun, fun. What prompted ABC-TV pro grammers to pitch up "Polka-Go-Round" is, I suppose, pretty sim ple.

Lawrence Welk has enjoyed a fair measure of popularity on the network and polka music is one of his staples. Ergo: Let them eat polka for the summer. And undoubtedly, some will. Which, in turn, brings me to something I've been brooding over as a result of watching musical TV shows like Welk's and listen ing to the current crop of records on radio. My feeling is this: I find my self siding more and more with the teen-agers who consume rock roll and less and less with their Lawrence-Welk-Guy Lombar- do-Sammy Kaye-loving elders who complain about the taste of teen agers.

I don't think it's possible to make a big case for rock 'n' roll. Most of it is pretty dull musically Its texture is monotonous and it is formula-strapped. But rock 'n' roll has at least three strong points. One, it has vitality, much of grounded in the solid tradition of American coun try blues and jazz. Two, it has a sense of humor about itself and life around it.

And three, it has a sense of contemporaneousness it deals with its time and current situations "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck," "Meet Me at the Candy Store." "I Got "Rumble," "Who Wears Short Shorts," "Get a Job," "Blue Suede Shoes." is alive. I can't say as much for the Mickey Mouse-assembly line prod uct of the Welk-Lombardo school Those who say they like this sort of music, I've observed, usually aren't really interested in music at all. Music is a time and brain killer for them no matter how un imaginative, lacking in nourishment and terribly dull it may be. If music has any reason for being, it is because it feeds you and makes you feel more aware. As a result, I must say that I have more respect for the musical tastes of teen-agers who respond to the corny, but vital outpourings of Elvis- Presley than I do for their elders who glaze their sensibilities with Welk, Lombardo and their ilk.

The teen-agers at least are alive and wkh their time. Their elders are dead from the neck up it's only their feet that respond in slow shuffle to the music.

Leonard Fuhrer Issued the statement shortly after Colwell was served with papers in the $5,000 damage suit Monday. Mrs.

Margie Elaine Rushing, a colony attendant, filed a suit in Ninth Judicial District Court claiming Colwell struck her and used abusive language in his office June 16. "Mr. Colwell will file an answer categorically denying Mrs. Rush-ing's charges," the attorney declared. "As for legal action against Mrs.

Rushing, as far as I know Corwell's present intentions, ap propriate criminal and or civil action will be initiated at the proper time," Fuhrer said. The attorney pointed out that there are less than five judicial days left before court goes into summer recess. "Therefore, unfortunately, it appears that a trial may not be had until fall," he declared.
