Specht Urges Popular Music To Penetrate Iron Curtain 'Paul Specht, band director, who introduced the idea of putting swing into the .scores of classic music with tremendous success, spoke at the weekly supper of the Kiwauia Club in tlic Elks clubhouse. Mr Specht said the government i playing opera numbers and other classical music to swing time. was missing the greatest opportun- ity to reach the peoples of the world by its failure to include American popular music and folk songs on the Voice of America programs. By this he said he did not mean present day Jazz- Mr. Specht said this type of music had taken a great hold in Europe as indicated by the ever In- creasing salea oi phonograph rec- ords and musical instruments. JEtow- ever, he added that the authorities in Washington persisted in present- ins programs of classical znuedc In wUlCh' 'tn.e- Sturopvaxur «aooeV~ Vftxcre- as tfithey' would put on the programs he suggested they might even be able to penetrate the Iron Curtain. -In Russia, Mr. Specht added, a person who makes a success in music is put on a pedestal and granted rights equal to those of the political leaders. He told of being invited to attend a meeting of AfNESOA recently at which all the talk concerning Uhe providing of programs of classical music for people in other lands, made him sick when he realized the op- portunity they were missing by fol- lowing out this*'policy. Mr. Specht -told of having his band play for Wilson, Harding and Coolidge and at the Inaugural balls cf Hoover and Roosevelt. .He said Roosevelt promised him to have legislation enacted providing for the establishment of a -Department of Pine Arts in the government but never did anything about it. He ad- ded this was one of the few coun- tries \that did not have such a de- partment. He told of coming to New York almost brokfi~and of achie-ving-.im- mediate success by having his band Mrs. Speoht. a musical comedy star, who is known on the stage as Ilse Marvenga, sang several selec- tions accompanied by her husband. They wire introduced by Wallace Hamilton Campbell, program chair- man.
