mention obviously rubbed Walter’s tender patriotism sorely raw. When Seeger asked for permission to sing them at the 1955 HUAC hearings, Walter roared that he was “not at all interested” in hearing a single note. So, six years later in a Manhattan hotel room, Seeger finally sang those songs for public record in what may have been the only singing press conference in the history of journalism, with less than a dozen newsmen and Ivy League students there to listen. We noted that all but one of the songs Seeger said the HUAC has put on its list were preserved for posterity by Texan Alan Lomax and his famous folklorist father, the late John Lomax, back when they were touring the backroads of the South and Southwest making tape recordings for the Library of Congress. Seeger said, yes, a large percentage of all songs sung by all folk singers came from that extensive Lomax collection, still housed in the Library of Congress despite Walter’s apparent detection of heretofore undetected hidden meanings. Someone commented that, since many of the Lomax collection came from the mouths of convicts, ex-convicts, and former slaves, it was small wonder that HUAC fans had low toleration for the message they offered. WHEN DISCUSSION of songs Walter could not abide was finished, a graytempled New York Times reporter stood in his Brooks Brothers suit and said that he was not a folk music fan, but not many weeks before he had, in all innocence so help him, purchased for his young daughter an album of songs for children which Mr. Seeger had recorded. One of the songs in particular, he said, had caught his tone-deaf fancy. Would Mr. Seeger sing, the Times man asked, the song entitled: “The Itsy Bitsy Spider Crawled Up the Water Spout”? Seeger said, indeed, he’d be happy to sing it if the Times man would sing the first few lines. “I recorded that album way back before I was investigated,” the singer said, “and I’ve about forgotten how that one goes.” The distinguished Times reporter sang a few lines of “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” and Seeger grinned and nodded and carried on, accompanied by his infectuous banjo. Throughout the song, not one un-Ameri can growl was heard in the small room. J.M.

By: JOHN DICKSON, Deputy CITATION BY PUBLICATION THE STATE OF TEXAS TO S. W. Barczewski, Defendant, in the hereinafter styled and numbered cause: hereby commanded to appear before the 98th District Court of Travis County, Texas, to be held at the courthouse of said county in the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, at or before 10 o’clock A.M. of the first Monday after the expiration of 42 days from the date of issuance hereof; that is to say, at or before, 10 o’clock A.M. of Monday the 23rd day of July, 1962, and answer the FIRST AMENDED petition of plaintiff in Cause Number 123,624, in which S. W. Barczewski is Plaintiff and S. C. Barczewski is defendant, filed in said Court on the 12th day of March, 1962, and the nature of which said suit is as follows: Being an action and prayer for judgement in favor of plaintiff and against defendant for decree of divorce dissolving the bonds of matrimony heretofore and now existing between said parties: Plaintiff alleges that plaintiff and defendant lived together as husband and wife in comparative peace and domestic tranquility for a relatively short period of time, but the defendant then commenced a studied and deliberate course of conduct toward plaintiff, without any just cause or provocation on the part of plaintiff, which constituted both mental and physical cruelty toward plaintiff. On or about August 10, 1961, defendant left the home of plaintiff and defendant, without any just cause or excuse, and since such time plaintiff and defendant have not lived together or cohabited as husband and wife. Because of such cruel treatment, outrages, and excesses on the part of defendant toward plaintiff, their further living together as husband and wife is insupportable. Three children have been born of and during the marriage of plaintiff and defendant and plaintiff asks that the custody and control of said children be awarded exclusively to plaintiff. Plaintiff further requests that defendant pay suitable monies toward the support and maintenance of the minor children. During this union there was a relatively small amount of community property acquired which plaintiff asks be awarded by,,the court to the plaintiff for the use and benefit of plaintiff and the three minor children of plaintiff and defendant. All of which more fully appears from Plaintiff’s First Amended Original Petition of file in this office, and which reference is here made for all intents and purposes. If this citation is not served within 90 days after date of its issuance, it shall be returned unserved. WITNESS, 0. T. MARTIN, JR., Clerk of the District Courts of Travis County, Texas.
