Gary is Josh's perennial second-fiddle, an even more ingratiating figure who never falls victim to the slickness of his mentor. He began with a hammed-up version of Foggy, Foggy Dew, with exquisite footnotes from Josh's guitar, and the audience was his within a minute. His version of the Saints Go Marching In seemed to be a parody of his own singing, while his concluding His Eye Is On the Sparrow, aside from its own merits, convinced a perplexed audience that he was sober...
MILTON ALLEN, 20, a lanky guitarist out of Houston who represents RCA Victor's latest bid for the rocking teen-age market. A panting, heavy-dew singer, Milton was spotted by RCA fieldmen while he was stomping it out on local Houston radio shows. He was hustled to New York, shorn of his Elvis Presley locks, fitted into a grey flannel suit and photographed in Central Park, looking sincere. RCA is pushing him with the trade on two newly released singles: Just Look, Don't Touch, She's Mine and Love A, Love A Lover...
Canada and the U.S. last week took two important steps to enclose their common backyard. On the Arctic Circle, the DEW line (for Distant Early Warning), a 3,000-mile electronic tripwire, was switched on; for the first time, Canada and the U.S. could feel reasonably secure against a Pearl Harbor attack from the north. At the same time, Washington and Ottawa announced that the two nations' air forces would form a joint command (ADCANUS) for continental defense. ADCANUS will be commanded by Air Force General Earle E. Partridge at the U.S. air-defense center at Colorado Springs, Colo...
...With the DEW line in operation-four hours as the jet bomber flies from Toronto, New York and Chicago-the most important gap is closed in the radar warning system strung across the top and down both sides of the continent. In case of attack, the DEW line will give a U.S. retaliatory force time to take to the air, and Airmen Partridge and Slemon will look to two southerly radar systems to track the invaders: the $200 million Canadian-built Mid-Canada line, due to start operating by summer's end, and the Pinetree Aircraft Control and Warning...
...financed DEW line cost $500 million and more than a score of lives, mostly fliers who crashed in the gigantic airlift of men and materials to the several dozen radar sites. Last week the main builder, Western Electric Co., turned the line over to International Telephone and Telegraph Corp., which will operate it. Manning the remote outposts are 1,000 technicians, nearly 80% of them Canadians. The DEW-liners are confident that no invading aircraft can pass them undetected. In preliminary trials, even birds set the alarm bells ringing...
