If they do, the trial judge cannot admit his voluntary confession into evi dence. Why not? Because the Miranda decision of the U.S. su preme court requires that, unless there is a waiver, a lawyer must be provided for the robber before he is questioned, identified, or per mitted to confess." Seraphim goes on to urge that people reading the letter seek a constitutional amendment to change the law. There are two questions at stake here. One is whether Seraphim has violated ethical codes by signing the letter. As to this question, the Bar As sociation is investigating the affair. We hope they don't sweep this judicial dirt -under the rug. Another question is whether the Eagles Club violated its non-profit status (which includes mailing privleges) by sending through the mails a blatantly political appeal. More on that aspect later. i/tfji The good old Milwaukee JouYnal has come out in opposition to Seraphim's letter.

You'd have a citizens' revolt. I'm ready to revolt." After this tirade, Christ still had the gall to go on. He asked the girl friend of the defendant if she was pregnant. "I hope not," she answered. Christ blurted out, "There are 1,300,000 other people in Milwaukee who sincerely hope you won't get pregnant." While we have been alternately burning and chuckling at Funny Judge, others have picked up on the anti-Seraphim line. The ACLU has come out and in effect denounced Seraphim for "Injudicious words and actions (which) cast serious doubt on his judicial qualifications. " Wow! That's what we've been saying all along. The ACLU cited five instances of Seraphim "misconduct." We reported all of these to you earlier, but as a refresher course in Seraphimism here is a brief summary: Christ Goofs Seraphim told a man who had been threatened to "get a gun.

I From the Other Side ftj jiff of the Tracks JULIUS LESTER The New York City school strike has ended, leaving a residue of ill-feeling like few events in New York have done in redent years. The United Federation of Teachers (UFT) claimed "due process^ had been violated when the Ocean Hi 11-Brownsville governing board trans ferred 83 teachers from, the district. At issue was the extent to' which the governing board could exercise the power to determine who was going to teach in the schools of the district. There can be no real community control if the community cannot have the power to decide who is going to teach in their schools. Despite whatever liberal pretensions the UFT may make of being concerned about the education of children, it is a labor union whose, overwhelming concern is the rights of its members. It is fond of proving its liberalism by pointing out that it played a role in the freedom schools in Mississippi in 1964 and that its president; Albert Shaker, participated in the Selma-Montgomery march and in the march in Memphis in support of the garbage workers' strike .following the death of Martin Luther King. But it is usually easier for Northern liberals to empathize with Southern blacks than it is for them to do • something about the problems in their own area. In other words, the UFT can be paternalistic like all other unions, and racist when the problems come home to roost. Reflection of Hysteria The issues involved in the school strike were almost immediately obscured when the UFT levelled charges of anti-Semitism against Ocean Hill. Unfortunately, the predominantly Jewish UFT rank-and- file fell for the charge, as did a significant portion of New York's Jewish community. They believed the anti-Semitism charges despite the fact that 50% of the teachers at Ocean Hi 11-Brownsville's Junior High School 271 (the focal point of the controversy) were Jewish and many of them had been hired to replace the teachers (some Jewish) flUBIGHTS who had been transferred by the governing board. It was clear that R£DBBRESERVE D the hysteria which arose was more a reflection of the hysterical than 1 of black reality in Ocean Hill.

After creating a body of personal/ political songs which became the anthems o,f the "civil rights generation," he moved from obvious social commitment ("The Times They Are A-Changing, " "Masters of War, " "Death of Hattie Carroll," "Pawn in.the Game," etc.) to a neiAL^mdjJlifiJlifiJ^tJii^fiJlXOjJim capitalism's ultimpte agony£|||ii.r1964, the year of the first major esca la t ion in Vietnam, the? year of Malcolm /K's murder and Birmingham Sunday, the year of Lyndon Bv;Johnson, the answer was no longer "Blowing in the wind./' Bob Dylan understood this before most of the rest 0 of us. 0 His newer songs began to reflect the death of that naivete which led us to believe that we could change this system without destroy ing ilife WaM 'WQ&k m&M V^^^^M" . —: $M& ' m kW$% i Deserted by a Poet Who Cared Tjhe most dramatic sign of this change was in Dwlarh's switch to electricity, but it was in Dylan's new "message" that the underlying contenit of the new mood could be understood. The rejection of .the system's values ("Ballad of a Thin Man," "Maggies' FojTiil'lJ_Jjie_gjov^g_seji§e_o^ alienation (''Subterraneani||k>mesick Blues," "It's All Right Ma") and the romanticizing of dope ("Mr. Tambourine Man, Like a Rolling Stone") were three aspects of the same procelsv f.

"This Guthrie and Pete Seeger, nourished in the FDR years, inheritors of a super- ipP'' ficial "Ma rx ism " based on diluted Leninism and rationalized Stalinism were not ready to accept the revolutionary implications of Dylan's statement. Because if we accepted them, being 'J^* political people, we would have to act on them J So long as the diagnosis was chicken pox or mumps, we could think of applying some new medicine for our social ills. But these poets were telling us that it was cancer- iroughout the system, accelerating— and terminal. Well, we learned. And for some of us older heads> the learning process was painful, involving, as it did, a reappraisal r'of so many basic assumptions. Of course, there were many who welcomed Dylan's "retreat" from politics as a substantiation of their own elitism and despair. (The bookkeepers for Albert Grossman Enterprises and.Columbia Records weren't exactly in agony either.) But Dylan is >ur poet — not our leader. Poets touch us where we want to be touched — in those pleasurable places and in those exposed places. And if he fails to touch, the failure may be ours, not his. Is Dylan political, anti-political, apolitical, unpolitical? The question is sillier than it sounds. If they listen to and play Dylan's songs in Fayerwether Hall during "liberation week" and in Lincoln Park during "free elections week," then someone is communicating where it counts. The question remains: why has Dylan remained the emotional essentialization of the SDS generation? His latest album, JOHN WESLEY HARDING (Columbia CS9604), tells us something about where his head is at. Almost all of the songs start off with some familiar line Or strain from the folk song idiom and then juxtapose into a totally clashing idea creating a new level of experience: *Cdreamed I saw St. justine last night.. .alive as you and me;^*As I went out one morning... to breathe-the air around Tom Paine." John Wesley Harding starts where every outlaw foailad leaves off, while "Frankie Lee and Judas Priest"-is closer to where it's at for today than " Frankie and Johnny" could ever be. Without belaboring the ob- rvious, the message seems to be that folk music can only be the starting point. Dylan would undoubtedly say that he was only speaking for himself and not asking ranyone to follow him. After all, Jesse Fuller and Roscoe Holcomb are as true to themselves as Dylan is. But'we who philosophize can reflect on how in this statement too, Dylan continues to express the mood of a time when the old ways and values have lost the franchise and when a whole generation seems to be giving new meaning the old slogan, "No more tradition's chains shall bind us." But what of the others? Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs and Buffy Sainte-Marie remain three of the more important luminaries of the ever-dimming folk song scene. Of these, ie most interesting is Phil Ochs, if for no other reason than that he has fashioned an abrasive personality for himself in terms of both style and content. His politics are ^mercurial at best —and one may find him singing his heart out in Chicago, organizing a street demonstration as a publicity stunt for a new record album, or supporting Bobby 'Kennedy's ill-fated bid for power. He is frequently where the action Is, but consistently manages to project the idea that he is, himself, the action. Ochs Maintains a Cynical Detachment His songs, like Dylans, are not nearly as topical as they once were. Now he too attempts to deaf in broader social values. But unlike Dylan who will frequently g i v e us a piece of himself, Ochs always seems to be holding something back, maintaining a cynical detachment from his students. Ochs deals consciously in ideas — and sometimes, "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends" or "The Party" both from his new album PLEASURES OF THE HARBOR MAN (A & M 4133), they seem contrived, manufactured for the oc- fcasion. At the same time, when he turns his eye on the political-military establishment, his venom seems to find a suitable subject matter. His "Cops of the World" and "White jjfBoots Marching in a Yellow Land" are two of the best anti-Vietnam War songs produced in America. Tom Paxton, on the other hand, has mellowed in the past five years. His newest album, MORNING AGAIN (Elektra 74019) is, with the exception of one song, terribly old [fashioned and sentimental. The exception is "Mr. Blue," a strong and emotionally moying song. Brechtian in mood, concept and execution, which reflects a sense of where the country's at. The rest of the album is nowhere near as relevant as Paxton probably imagines it to be. His "Talking Vietnam Pot Luck Blues" is at least a year too late for a topical song (it's Fthe year of Tet and the victories of the NLF; GIs smoking pot is from another war), while his "A Thousand Years," very strong in its denunciation of fascism, is. still focusing on the German brand, which somehow sounds sanctimonious coming from an American. Sainte-Marie's Inanity Wins the Day "Victoria Dines Alone," while a good example of his craftsmanship, also reflects the pity of the near-misses which abound in Paxton's current work. For this little vignette of a "maiden lady" dining alone in the twilight of her years, gently etched into focus in a few stanzas, becomes finally a study in pathos, a sentimental poem of detached pity. BUT the subject matter is both epic and tragic — and we have the right to demand works on such a scale. Buffy Sainte-Marie is now a minor legend -r— and more's the pity. That type of phony show-biz imagery is the last thing an artist needs. There were always two conflicting strains in Buffy Sa i nte-Marie's songs: the chilling, white-hot passion of the songs dealing with the injustices visited on American Indians — and the simplistic inanity of songs like "Universal Soldier." Unfortunately, the inanity seems to have won out on her latest t?f I'M GONNA BE A COUNTRY GIRL AGAIN (Vanguard 79280), in which, as you may be able to judge by the title, Buffy goes Nashville. There is something about the vapid naturalism of most country music that is an insult to human intelligence, and one wonders how this kind of molasses can continue to be dished out (and presumably absorbed) in the age of Dylan, the Beatles and Country Joe McDonald. Perhaps some A & R man impressed Buffy iwith the idea that this is the road to success — and forall I know, it may be. But the process is intrinsically phony, and all you have, to do is hear Buffy Sainte-Marie tear her/ Lguts out on "Now That the Buffalo's Gone" —• where she really sings from conviction and anger — and you know how empty the rest is. And the others from that Sing Out! cover? Mark Spoelstra, after two years of alternative service, lives on the West Coast, his gentle humanist philosophy so suited to our agjjjfjf Lof moral commitment now totally inadequate to the demands of confrontation with power. Len Chandler, despite a Columbia record, is not a success — which is a tribute to bjljj ^consistency as a militant when it would have been relatively simple to cash in on being an Establishment Black. Many singers ^n««n^^nnna used to tell me what they.were going to do once they got the "exposure" of a big record label — the statements they would mjHBE .the causes they ..-><^|H ^^^ would support. I remember one left-wing manager back in the early 1950s explaining to me bow his group was going to be "bigger' than Robeson"H^^f^djM ^^. —and then I'd really see something. Of course, this is the oldest cop-out in the world — usually because by the tJjie V6u get that""" vm "big," your ideas are no longer so radical. (Yesterday's radicalism is inevitably today's liberalism, as we've all had to learn.) ^^ Apparently Len Chandlerhas no such illusions. He doesn't think he can launch the revolution from Columbia Records, but he ^L sings one of the strongest songs he's ever written, "Genocide," on a recent Broadside release, THE TIME WILL COME (Broadside BR-306) under the pseudonym of Zachary 2. Blind Boy Grunt, Alias Dylan This is a neat little fiction with precedent among old-time bluesmen who often recorded the same song-for several different labels ("all spades sound alike") to earn extra bread,. In the topical song field, Bob Dylan^prformed as Bffrl|§: Boy Grunt on an earlier Broadside record to avoid contract hassles with Columbia, and on the current Broadsidedisc you can, hear Janis Jan as Blind Girl Grunt performing her "Shady Acres" — a way of paying dues without getting the big .record labels on the muscle. And Peter LaFarge? Well, it's almost three years now since Peter, the most tragic and sensitive figure of that song revolution, killed himself. Like Ira Hayes, the American Indian hero of Iwo Jima who died drunkv*njf§ gutter, and who Peter im mortalized in his best ballad, Peter LaFarge could not cope with the hypocrisies of an American that preached freedom andequaf§fe ' and make the lives of its poor, its honest, its black and red and Mexican people, its artists, a daily and permanent insult. And while a measure of frajie and ac ceptance went to even the least talented of the new breed of song-writers, to the folk music establishment — Jjfcte managers and the administrators, the high-powered cream judges and critics, the pompous successes — Peter LaFarge was not the stuff careers or money are made of. Today, the topical song revolution is a memory — not quite nostalgia yet, but an echo from another time which serves to remind us of intervening battles waged and miles traveled. Broadside magazine still publishes, but the volunteers.Ore fewer and the money is scarcer. Songs .VMUON +£ *«* ™">6y!SS&, ^. ^fct of social corrvm i tmen t still appear in the pages of Sing Cutl•— but somehow the sense of urgency is gone.
