Russ Morgan
Cancels Soph i

Committee Hires Red
Norvo and Mildred
Bailey Instead
Agent Same As Broke
Senior Ball Agreement
A sudden cancellation of the con
tract .agreement of Russ Morgan and
his Orchestra for Soph Hop on De
cember 10 by his Ned-York agent was
revealed yesterday by . committee co
chairmen Irwin R. Supow '4O and F.
Richard - lhoom '4O.
In his place the committee has ar ;
ranged to have Red Norvo's ordhestra
featuring Mildred Bailey, which was
offered late yesterday by the Music
Corporation of America, another New
York orchestra representative.
Offer Ellington
Russ Morgan's agent offered Duke
Ellington as a replacement, but later
withdrow this offer since he was also
not, available. It was then" learned
through the MCA that the Norvo-
Bailey combination was on its way
East from a successful engagement at
the St. Francis hotel in San Francisco.
They will open in Pittsburgh a few
days after their performance here. If

Paramount Trilies Option
The ,Paramount theater in New
York had a previous option ion . Russ
Morgan that was suppOsed to be Lak
en up on January 1, it was learned.
But Paramount chose to exercise its
optioa on December P instead, and this
engaggment will last one month.
Morgun',i agent said that he would
be_aviiilable on December 22, but this
date conies during the Christmas re
cess thus making it impossible to ac
cept. The committee wired Morgan's
agent to return the SG2S deposit,
which is half of the price contracted
for. They were able to get Norvo for
$lOOO, a saving of 0250.
Similar - to Senior Ball Trouble
This agent, not the MCA, is the
some one which broke its contract
wi.lll last 'ear's Senior Ball committee
for Ilob Crosby, but they were then
able to offer Louis Armstrong, who
was accepted, after the agent had for
feited StMO. It is not knowNwhether
they will make a similim forfeit in
this case:
The committee is believed to have
on !`open-and-shut" case against Mor
gan's agent, althouelh it is not ex
pected that they will press for any
sort of additional settlement.

Rumors Of Slash Dispelled As
Ickes Approves Grant To
State Authority
Rumors that Secretary of the Trea
sury Henry ➢lorgenthau's hint of a
drastic slash in PWA allotments
might affect the colege's five-million
dollar building program were dispelled
Saturday, when Public Works Admin
istrator Harold Ickes announced ap
;wovel of an outright grant of $759,-
JOO to the Pinisylvania General State
Authority for "improvements" here.
-The appropriation was the largest
of the 19 approved by Ickes, the ag
gregate total of which amounts to $2,-
079,000.
In addition to 'this grant, which is
part of the federal share. in the $05,-
- 000,000 improvement program launch
ed by' the State Authority, the PWA
will allot a bonus of $1.33 to for every
dollar spent by the state on certified
relief labor on the project sites. The
entire federal appropriation, however,
is limited to 45 percent of the total
cost of the project.
Obviously pleased. at hearing the
news, President Ralph D. Iletzel said

val of the eolege's

es also indicated the program would
