NEW YORK CITY.-Columbia Broad-
casting System's active management of
its newest affiliate, American Record
Corp., got underway last month with
the signing of Jimmie Lunceford and his
IS-piece band to a long term contract
for recording Voca!ion discs, and a net-
work broadcast Saturday evening, Jan-
uary 21.
The first release by Lunceford under
new sponsorship was made January 19
and comprised an original composition
in which his musicians collaborated
with the composer-arranger-leader of
America's "No. 1 Colored Swing Band,"
titled "'Tain't What You Do But the
Way That You Do It," coupled with an
adaptation of the old favorite, "Cheat-
in' On Me," on the reverse.
