APRIL COVER
The cover and the drawings in this Folio have been donated by Red Grooms who has exhibited at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery since 1965. He previously exhibited at the Reuben Gallery. A large work, Chicago, which was shown at last year's Venice Biennale, received considerable critical acclaim. He has produced numerous performances and movies, one of which — "Fat Feet" — was shown on CBS Camera Three in 1967.
Red Grooms was born in Nashville in 1937 and is mar- ried to the painter Mimi Gross.
PROGRAMMING NOTES
WBAI's News and Public Affairs Department inaugurates two new weekly programs in this Folio. A thirty minute weekly spotlight on the Middle East situation will be provided by Middle East Press Review. This program comes to us in two parts, an Israeli and an Arab. The Israeli press review is produced for the Broadcasting Foundation of America by Kol Israel, the Israeli Government radio. The Arab press review is produced by BFA in cooperation with the Association of Arab Broadcasters. We think the linkage of these two contrasting views of unfolding events in that critical area should provide a highly interesting and informative broadcast.
Another new weekly program series which we think will prove to be of considerable interest to our listeners is Report on Political Prisoners. This will be a fifteen-minute program of news and commentary on the subject of pris- oners of conscience prepared and produced by members of Amnesty International. For details of specific programs, please check your listings.
The Public Affairs Department also has produced a doc- umentary. In Remedibrance, an impressionistic sound recollection prepared for the first anniversary of the assas- sination of Martin Luther King.
Sprinkled liberally throughout this month will be pro- grams from the New York School for Social Research. Among the speakers in these broadcasts will be William Sloan Coffin and Margaret Mead. Others, to be announced later, will be heard in the course of the month on the Public Affairs Specials.
A varied lot of programs from Drama and Literature this month. For Spring, WBAI's Word Players in an ex- ercise in Victoriana, The Language of Flowers, to be heard April 3 at 8 p.m. Four lengthy sessions from a Symposium' on Traditional African Art held at the Hampton Institute can be heard on the four Saturday afternoons of April, and an extended version of a program that caused a great amount of comment. The Transformation of a Man, will be heard in two parts, April 13 and April 20, at 2 p.m. And on April 26 we will broadcast It Is New? Is It Good? Is It Sculpture?, a lecture by William Seitz, Professor of Fine Arts and the Director of the Rose Museum at Bran- deis, on the recent controversial sculpture annual at the Whitney.
Special concerts this month include the New Image of
Folio Notes
Volume 10, Number 4
Sound program by the Monday Evening Concerts of Los Angeles, the Society of Black Composers, several programs from last year's Dartmouth Festival (featuring music of the contemporary Argentinian, Alberto Ginastera, and other chamber and orchestral music) as well as four Free Store programs with the Aeolian Chamber Players, the Octet from the Symphony of the New World, the Renaissance Love Sandwich, Diana Tramontini and Eric Salzman.
Note also Music from Iran, the first in a series of pro- grams of Eastern music from the Jewish Museum, music of another Argentinian, Alcides Lanza, music of Burton Greene, Larry Austin interviewing Eric Salzman inter- viewing Larry Austin (with Austin music betwixt and be- tween), more festival programs and a number of mixes of uncertain content by some of our resident spaced-out Mar- tians. On the pop side there is an interview with Johnny Winter, a bit of Miles Davis, more Black Blues, more Your Mother Should Know, more Marion McPartland and more Elizabeth Vandermei. We have a program of Eskimo songs (for real) and a half hour concert by Venezuelan birds (also for real). And let's not forget the newly rediscovered Mozart Symphony No. 37 with Dr. Heinrich Wissenshaft and Boris Illych Smyslav to be heard on Musicology To- day . . . not to mention our Special Special on England's answer to the MC5, the fabulous Ring of the Niebelungs with the new "Wolverhampton sound."
Our own Matt Edwards presents a huge special on the Austrian late romantic Franz Schmidt — little known here but highly esteemed in his native land.
APRIL GOALS
It would be a nice April Fool's Joke if everybody who doesn't get this Folio on time were to send WBAI $1.00, but since you people won't read this until it's too late to play, why don't all you who do get the Folio on time send us $1.00, and then we can figure out how many people are still getting their Folio late! What we mean is that we need money. Our goal for this month is $30,000, including 700 new subscriptions, and 1132 renewals which come due. If yours has come due (indicated by EXPIRING, EX- PIRED, LAPSED, or some other synonym), mail us your label, along with the appropriate amount of money, and rest assured that the next Folio (which promises to be a BIGGY) will reach you on time, or at least with its ex- pected lateness. If you are moving, be sure to let us know that too: there is a coupon on page 31 of this Folio for that purpose. If you are one of the laties, and want to have your Folio sent First Class, please add $5.00 to the amount of your check, and demand it.
If you keep wall charts of our progress, or lack of it, financially, the daily tally is broadcast each evening, just before the 6:30 News. For a weekly summary of money and other station matters, listen to Report to the Listener with Frank Millspaugh, broadcast Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. (rebroadcast Wednesday at 9:15 a.m.).
There is a detailed break-down of WBAI's financial out- go in the year 1968 and an estimate of our budget for 1969, on page 30 of this issue.

11:45 THE RING OF THE NIBE- LUNGS Within the last few weeks a new English group from Wolver- hampton has made a sensation in London. The Ring of the Nibelungs (consisting of six electric harpsichods and an electric washboard bass) are all classically trained (four of them are graduates of the Royal Midland Music School, the others studied with Darius Milhaud at Mills College). The unique "Wolverhampton sound" is a mix of rock, raga folk, classical, elec- tronic jazz, Afro, Sino, bossa nova, Stockhausen, Irving Berlin and old Scottish reels, all worked up into a big-beat serial Rock format. Fortuna- tely, we were able to catch this fab group while changing planes at New- ark on their way to a concert at the Houston Astrodome. (This program may be repeated, but then again, it may not).

COUNCILMAN
FROM
HAni.lLra with the DAILY WORLD
1 22,000 Communist votes in New York City. Two Communists on the New York City Council — one of them o Georgia-born block man. Think about that for a minute.
They called Benjamin Davis "the impossible candidate." But he won — twice. He was never voted out of office. The Fed- eral Government framed him on a "conspiracy" charge to unseat him...
"The federal court was just across the street from the council chamber in city hall. At about 4 PM Judge Med- ina and Prosecutor McGohey colled me and my co- defendants menaces to society.' At 5 PM I wolked across the street to City Hall where the council straight- awoy passed the resolution on Negro History Week, sponsored and introduced by the menoce to society.' In this book — written while he served five yeors in Terre Haute Federal Prison — Ben Davis spoke his mind about
•racism — Norther and Southern style 'black liberation — reformism versus revolution 'elections — his own ond those of tf»e crooks and •hacks he fought in the Council * New York Moyors and Georgia hanging judges
Before his first election, Ben Davis was an editor of the DAILY WORKER. Now the DAILY WORKER'S SUCCESSOR, THE DAILY WORLD, offers you his book — published at $2.85 — free with a year's subscription. The DAILY WORLD is the only daily Marxist paper published in the U.S. It brings you the news from a working doss viewpoint — every day, five days a week. Plus sports, features, book and movie reviews, ond a twelve-page weekend Magazine. And the editorial views of the Communist Party, U.S.A. — Ben Davis' Party. Get both — COMMUNIST COUNCILMAN FROM HARLEM and a year's subscription to the DAILY WORLD — for the price of the sub alone.
