Listen to Gene Krupa's new record of "Hodge-Podge" and you'll hear not only "relaxed" swing, but soles of a sort that are going to make Gene's band one of the top white bands before the year is over.

...slight edge over Bill Tyng and Harry Tine, a Junior and Sophomore respectively, but he will have to be on his toes to keep it. The close scrap for top honors here will probably bring about lots of improvement in the division all year long.

Mari Sandoz's third book, Capital City (Little, Brown, $2.50), lacks even a credible character. A panoramic, pamphlet-pat story...
