Though U.S. drug addiction is on the rise, Dr. Erwin Nelson, former medical chief of the Food and Drug Administration, reported one encouraging note last week. Addiction among teen-agers is falling, Dr. Nelson told the New Mexico Pharmaceutical Association.

...Domnerus and His Group; RCA Camden). The Swedes swing lightly and flexibly through Topsy Theme, Gone With the Wind and other numbers with the air of men with their hearts in their horns, but in their cooler moments (Relax, Blue Moon) they sometimes seem about to fade off the record. Alto Saxophonist Domnerus wanders through some seamless lyric flights translated from Charlie Parker's and Benny Carter's books...
