In the British House of Lords, Lord Nathan (Labor) warned the peers that “for us in these islands it is a case of disarmament or die.” As he spoke, demands for halting the tests were being raised in every part of the country. In Washington, Adlai Stev- enson, speaking on a television program before leaving for Europe and Africa, said: “T am against the contamin- ation of the human race. I am much in favor of ending the tests on large hydrogen wea- pons. I am also in favor of steps to control production of the weapon.” In Tokyo, the Japan Peace Council announced receipt of a message from Soviet Prem- ier Nicolai Bulganin, pledging that his government would continue its efforts to secure the banning of nuclear-bomb tests by agreement. The Japanese Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs announced postpone- ment of the “peace navy” to be sent in the area of the Bri- tish tests in the vicinity of Christmas Island.

This was disclosed in a surprise announcement by the Festival Preparatory Committee here this week, for hitherto officialdom has rather frown- ed on boogie woogie, jive, rock ’n’ roll and other such deviations from the strict New Orleans line. Now there’ll not be a Red square to say nay in Red Square if the festival partici- pants decide to “cut a rug,” get “sent” or just rock with- in sight and sound of the Kremlin. For the announcement in- vites young jazz fiends the world over to take part in the festival jazz competition which will be a feature of the festival. The competition is open to groups of not more than 15, excluding soloists and con- ductor, with an upper age limit of 32 for all participants except the band leader. Every band will have 30 minutes on the stage with free choice of instruments, style and jazz interpretation with no eliminating stages or set program. It is already known that Carlo Loffredo and his Roman New Orleans band will compete. It is already evident, . too, that Soviet competitors will not limit themselves to straight jazz for the new bands that are being formed every week by young factory work- ers and students have jive and rock ’n’ roll high on their programs.
