Meeting is to iron out final details which almost put the chill on the switch several times in the past tew weeks. However, . the most im- portant points have been smoothed and it's expected an initial recording date will be designated at the sign- 'P8. . - . WJiat American will do with Good- man it doesn't know itself. He will not, however, be used on a 75c plat- ter. Tentative plans have variously had him, if and when, being pressed onto either a new 35c label or a special Columbia platter Eit 50c. It was again reported during the past week that Goodman would also seek to change his management, .dis- 1 entangling himself from Music Corp. ' of America. It's known that he's been having sciuabbles with the book- ing oulHt lately. Joe Higgins, another American exec flew to the Coast Monday (24) to look in on Kay Kyser and Orrin Tucker, ARC artists also out west. SCHIRMER MUSIC MAN FATALLY SHOT DOWN Four bullets from the guns of un- known assailants, who shot him down early yesterday morning (Tuesday) in The Bronx, N. Y., as he w^s on his way to his downtown office, proved fatal shortly before noon I yesterday for Irving Penn, 42, manager of the royalty depart- ment at (3. Schiirmer, Inc. He had been with Schirmer's 22 years. Penn had left his home only a few minutes earlier when the shoot- ing occurred. The assassins, who fired from an automobile, then sped away. Penn was taken to Ford- ham hospital, where he succumbed. No motive could be established for the slaying, with police and as- sociates alike completely mystified as to the cause. Mistaken . identity is the best explanation so far. His widow and two daughters survive. Woods, Howard, Vlllaga Barn, NTC z '■ Turke. Bob, c/o Wm. Morris. Bwerllng. Ruby. Stat* T.. NTC. ZIto.
