Joe Glaser, agent for Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong, the American Negro musician, today dismissed an announcement from Beirut that the musician and his troupe have been banned from Lebanon because they included Israel in a recent Middle East tour.
"If Armstrong is banned in Lebanon, it will be a pleasure for us not to go to Lebanon again," Mr. Glaser said.
