I Beatles NEW YORK — (NEA) —The
won a new audience for
mass music and left the hit par
ade with a musical example that
Will be hard to forget.
1 “The Beatles have done it ag
ain,” rings the cry after each
| new hit. What the Beatles do ag
ain and again is show that pop
•music can be alive, inventive
and unrepetitious, even beauti
ful.

are laughing. Not only at the
screaming girls, but at them
selves. Their undying sense of

Back of the bombing step-op in North Viet Nam are docu
ments reaching here from Hanoi which reveal Ho Chi Minh’s
1 advisers are complaining strongly about disorganization in
the north’s economy.
i The #ar is taking its toll. There is now in North Viet Nam
a tense situation in manpower, especially of the young and
healthy ones.”
Worse than the physical damage the bombings do, appar
ently, is their psychological effect on the working popula
tion.
Ho’s aides complain that workmen spend their time in the
' emergency trenches instead of at their machines or work
benches—even when there are no planes overhead or even
on the way that day.
(Officials are trying to get workers to stay on the job until
! • raid is imminent, but with little success.)
order- •THE ANTIAIRCRAFT, supply, first aid, fire-fighting and
miu ntaming groups are usually too big and (are)
j workers, “At some is always places... in combat the whole posts enterprise, from cadres to
to This has led waiting of for the enemy
come ... to the neglect production.”
But the major problem — as in Soviet Russia —‘ seems to
be a breakdown in organization, morale and management
I Factories are started.. Then when half-built they stand idle
for want of skilled labor and materials to complete them.
“The state of incompleteness of projects is already quite
serious.”
Then “after (a plant finally is) constructed, we discover
we did not select the best (kind of factory) ”
THE SUPERVISORS in some major industries comp' •lain
that with the slowdowns, breakdowns and other difficult ties,
they can’t get more work than five or six hours a day of produc
tion out of their forces.
“At the Tan Hung Dao machine plant, the actual work
hours in a day of three shifts hardly reaches 16 or 17 hours.”
Machines break down and are not repaired for some time,
laborers stand idle on the jobs while they wait for mate
rials or parts to arrive. The worst problems are at the big
construction sites.
“Each time a construction rite runs short of equipment or
materials, it usually- has to wait many months.”
. Workmen “go to work late and leave early ... take a nap
Or walk during work hours, especially on the night shift”
Even more frustrating to Ho’s aides is that “there are so
many irrationalities in the utilization of construction ma
chinery « • • that construction done by machines is (even)
more expensive than (that) done by hand (labor).”

humor is the first clue that they
are not ordinary matinee idols.
The Beatles keep making fa
ces at you, almost sticking out
their tongues and saying, “Neh,
neh neh, I fooled you!” Their
album covers of funny faces sug
gest that “If you buy this record,
you have to take our funny fa
ces with it” or "I wonder if the
fans would love us in crewcuts?”
This all-pervading sense of hu
mor comes through in every re
cord — even when they are yell
ing “Help!” or “Heah, Yeah,
Yeah.”
A Beatles’ fan at the Univer
sity of Chicago explains it this
way? “Ihe Beatles maintain a

There is a genuine and healthy
need among modem youth for
proof that you can make it in
the mass media world and still,
like John Lennon, write two
books of poetry. “In His Own
Write” and “A Spaniard in the
Works.”

in another beach party flick, to
stead, they surprised all with “A
Hard Day’s Night” and “Help”
—full of sight gags, purposely
lacking in plot and combining
new camera techniques. Students
come out not only singing the
latest hit but talking like real
film buffs.
Another hint is the lyrics of the
Beatles’ songs. First of all, you
can understand the words. This
alone would be a major contri
bution to contemporary pop
music. But that’s not all.
As a young high §phool coed
from New York City puts it:
“They take the words right out
of my mouth. Most hit tunes
seem to believe that teen-agers
today still fall for puppy love.
Nuts. I’m not a little kid.”
The Beatles still believe in
love, but it’s not the forever-and
forever - this - is - my - only
hope-for-happiness pap which
hold-out cynics in Tin Pan Al
ley continue to pretend young
people believe. For the Beatles,
it is a calm, “I’m Happy Just
to Dance With You.” The neith
er croon nor fall in feverish fits.
Underneath all that routine up
roarious applause, a lot of young
people understand.
The show-stopper for the Beat
les, however, is their music. The
irony is that the Beatles came
on with headlines about the Mer
sey sound and a few years la
ter it is they and not their musi
cal fad which sells records.
It’s difficult to admit, but the
Beatles must be good musici
ans. They keep wrting their
own tunes, their own words,
their own arrangements — and
keep doing something new. Their
latest album is no more than a
series of experiments with new
rhythms, harmonies and instru
ments. Not only do they shy aw
ay from repeating themselves
they keep developing new and
better material.
A professor of music at the
University of Liverpool decided
to prove once and for all the
quality of the Beatles music. He
produced the “Baroque Beat
les Book,” arranging original
Beatles’ songs for chamber or
chestra and ensembles. Some
he found “suitable for harpsi
chord or spinet”; ‘fHe lp” was
arranged as an aria ior an ope
ratic tenor. <
