to an exclusive recording con¬
tract by RCA Victor epon her
return from a triumphant Eu¬
ropean trip that included ex¬

tune “(It’s No) Sin.” With it
the sultry songstress had coup¬
led a ballad, “I Don’t Believe
In Tomorrow,” in the style with

nah’s biggest hits. The release
of her initial RCA Victor sides
coincides with the start of an
extensive series of U. S. book¬
ings for Savannah.

understanding after hearing the
story of a Negro chef who ap¬
peared with him on a recent
broadcast of NBC’s network

followed that of Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest C. Curtis, a Negro couple
of Springfield, Mo., who have
established a Youth Center in
their home town to combat
racial prejudice.
The NBC star, impressed by
the Curtis’ story, declared dur¬

on the face of America. But
things are getting better.

people are learning to live the
