RADIOLOGTHE PIES

A poll just concluded among theentertainers and staff if the Colum-bia Broadcasting System disclosedthat pie is the favorite dessert inthe Columbia broadcasters' world.

Pie, of all sorts and descriptions,was the choice of 79 among 154polled. Ice cream ran a bad secondwith only 28 votes, although thetellers included three parfait votes,and four for spumoni.

Consternation among the votecounters was caused by JackSmart's vote for pie a la mode. Theproblem was solved when BradfordBrowne of the Nit Wits, suggestedthat it be counted as rice pudding.The vote for rice pudding was thusadvanced from four to five.

Edna Thomas, who is a worldtravelled songstress, balloted for aconfection called "Australian tri-fle." The judges, unwilling to ad-mit ignorance, demanded no expla-nation and the ballot was creditedto neither pie, ice cream, cake, norpudding.

The cake partisan-, includedKathryn Parsons, "Budd" Hulick,Ida Bailey Allen and BeulahFrance. They ran up 14 votes inail.

Among the pie allies were num-bered Irene Beasely, George Beuch-ler, Bing Crosby, "Singin' Sam,"Ernest Naftzger, Harry Swan andArthur Tracy.

The ice cream cohorts marshalledamong others Kate Smith, MorLonDowney, Aubrey Lyles of Millerand Lyles, and "Billie" Dauscha.

F. Channon Collinge of theCathedral Hour, and Tito Guizarwere among those fighting on therice pudding flank.

Jacques Fray of the piano duo,was a partisan of crepes suzette,Mario Braggiptti, other half of thepiano combination, held out forzabaglione.

Among the ballot that werecounted as neither fish, flesh norfowl in the "pie versus ice cream"battle, were one vote for rasp-berries by Fred Feibel of the Para-mount Theatre organist staff; twofor cheese and crackers by HarrietLee, the 1931 Radio Queen andMina Hager; one for honey dewmelon by Adelaide Klein; one forbaked pears by Vincent Sorey; and

HAVE ITone for fresh fruit by AnnouncerCarlyle Stevens.

The judges terminated the poll"in confusion worse confounded"when one entertainer, a native ofSt. Petersburg, Russia, insistedstoutly and repeatedly that his bal-lot was cast only after sober judg-ment. His favorite dessert is vod-ka. He later explained that sincehe hadn't been in Russia for morethan ten years he had eaten no des-sert in all that while, "Vodkan hedo?" commented Col. Lemuel Q.Stoopnagle, an addict of things likethat.

What a BandAn orchestra made up of orches-

tra leaders i a novelty few peoplehave heard or heard of, but suchan all-star aggregation was assem-bled to play several dance numberswhen Columbia's annual RadioShow banquet was held in the NewYorker Hotel ballroom. The per-sonnel included Jacques Renard,Anthony Victor Young,George Hall, Torn Truesdale, (vio-lins), Nat Brusiloff (bass violin),Vic Irwin, Eddie Duchin, JimmieMartin (saxophones), Hu .ton Ray(banjo), Dave Abrams (guitar),Harold Stern (trumpet), HarrySalter (trombone), Tony Parenti,Joe Venuti (clarinets), FreddieRich (piano)), and Abe Lyman(drums).

Thoroughly ImpressedRuss Columbo, heart-throb bari-

tone, had never been in New Yorkbefore he made his debut ten weeksego. New York's horses intriguedhim most.

"I was most impre sed by th.cops on horseback," he recalled."We don't have them in wild andwoolly Hollywood. And those FifthAvenue horse-drawn hacks! Thiscertainly isn't a one-horse town. Isuppose they really keep bulls inthe China shops here."

Force of HabitPhil Ohmnn and Victor Arden,

featured NBC piano duo, onceplayed thirteen hours straight at aNew York broker's salon party."When we finally got to bed", Philrecalled, "we had to sleep sittingup".

MANOEUVRED BY RADIOThe battleship Utah is to be a

ship that manoeuvres without acrew. It will be a radio -controlledtarget, and that is what John HayHammond Jr. calls the science ofradio dynamics.

The Utah is now being fitted forremote control at the Norfolk NavyYayrd, from where it will sail as atarget to test the navy's latest de-velopment in bombs, guns and firecontrol.

The scheme for radio control ofthe Utah provides that selectivesignals will be sent out by a con-trolling ship using a special keyingsystem and a regular radio trans-mitter. By means of ai radio re-ceiver and automatic receivingequipment on the Utah, these sig-nals will be used to control theformer battleship's course andspeed.

Provision will be made for steam-ing the radio -controlled ship atvarying rates of speed, for prede-termined changes of course, formaking smoke screens, &c., so thatthe Utah may be manoeuvred in allrespect like an enemy ship in battle,except for offensive operations.

Electric motors on the Utah oper-ated by signals sent out from thecontrolling ship will open and closethe throttle valves, regulate supplyof oil to the boilers for smokscreens and move the rudder rightor left as required by the change ofcourse desired. After attaining aset course, a gyro pilot, or "metalmike," similar to the type used bymodern merchant steamers, willkeep the ship on its course.

The controlling apparatus forthe Utah will be mounted in a de-stroyer. To manoeuvre the battle-ship, the destroyer will send outappropriate signals on special trans-mitting Oparatus. These signalswill be picked up by the apparatuson the target ship and will set inmotion the machinery designed toaccomplish the required operations.

During manoeuvres the officer of

the controlling ship may remain insight of the target to observe theeffect of the bombs or gunfire, orhe may be informed by an observerin an airplahe, who will send in-formation by radio.

The United States Navy has beeninterested in the possibilities of re-mote control by radio ever since theinception of the art. The navy'sfirst practical application of remotecontrol was made to the old battle-ship Iowa, which was equipped forradio control in 1920 and used as atarget during Winter manoeuvresof the United fleet off Panama in1923.

Lessons of great value werelearned from operation of the Iowain the matter of radio control aswell as ship protection and stability.

The decision made after theWashington and London naval con-ferences to scrap certain vesselsgave the navy an opportunity toequip other ships for use as radio -controlled targets.

The destroyer Stoddert wasequipped with radio -control appara-tus last year and is now in opera-tion on the West Coast, ind aseries of test will be conducted byaircraft using dummy bombs andby surface vessels firing guns.Present plans do not call for thedestruction of the ex-Stoddert andprecautions will be taken to pre-vent serious dalmage to the targetvessel and its equipment.

The Utah, although being usedmainly as a target for the navy'sguns, may be instrumental incausing a new era of the battle-ship. Who can tell but that event-ually there will be radio -controlledships cruising the sea daily. Al-though the day when this will hap-pen may never come, and undoubt-edly it will not, time alone can tellwhether it is possible.

This, however, proves even to themost skeptical individuals that ra-dio has not even reached one iotaof its limits. Future years promiseeven greater things.

SALLY

High SpotThe high spot of New York's

annual Radio -Electrical World'sFair was reached when a record -breaking crowd pressed against theglass -windowed studio to see andhear Casey Jones, noted aviator,present Whilhelm Rody and Chris-tian Johannsen, German fliers, intheir first public appearance afterthe dramatic rescue which followedthe wreck of their plane in theAtlantic.

After Rody had given a shortgreeting in German, Johannsen de-scribed the flight in an interviewwith Casey Jones, telling of thewreck of their plane, and the weekthey spent clinging to the debris,subsisting only on the water fromthe plane's tank.

Ferrutndo da Costa Veiga, thePortuguese flier, who also partici-pated in the adventure, was ex-pected to appear, but was unableto do so on account of a leg in-jury. Their appearance was partof Friendly Five Footnotes, the, pro-gram on which Jones appears week-ly to give the latest news in avia-tion.

A DISTINGUISHED VIOLINIST

JOHN CORIGLIANO

Born in 1901 of Italian parents inNew York, John Corigliano. CBSviolinist, at the age of fivemade a discovery. By gettinga strong grip on any cornerof a table -cloth and pulling, theentire contents of the table wouldbe on the floor in surprisingly littletime. His next discovery was thathe could play the violin. John de-veloped rapidly and soon was re-ceived as a pupil by the celebratedTrnka. Three years of study underthe guidance of this masi.er pre-pared him for his debut. John hadthe poise of an adult, and',vas ac-claimed by the critics as was noother violinist of that season. Fol-lowing this triumph he appearedwith several of the leading orches-

tras including the New York Phil-harmonic and the St. Louis Sym-phony. John likes to drive out inthe country at high speed, park hiscar on the side road, take a longwallk and enjoy the solitude of tallpines. In short, you are sure tolike John Corigliano if you are notseeking weird eccentricities buthard working, straight -forwardmusicianship.

"Voice of Love"One of the favorite fan letters

of Russ Colunibo, NBC's Valentinoof song, is an anonymous poem ad-dressed to him entitled "Voice ofLove". "It is beautifully writtenand I'm having it framed," Russrevealed.

CONDUCTS MATINEE PLAYERS

BEN HADFIELD DIRECTING MATINEE PLAYERS

Ben Hadfield, dean of the an-nouncers of the Yankee Networkand Station WNAC in Bostoh en-tered the radio field March 12,1926, after about 15 years behindthe footlights in stock productions.

During his stage career in variousparts of New England he playedwith such stars as Eleanor Robson,William Farnum and Lucille La -Verne of whom the latter two havewon prominence in the movies.

Hadfield first became interestedin radio when the Smilers' Club be-came one of the WNAC featureprograms five years ago. ClydeMacArdle, a former manager ofthe Somerville Theatre and a per-sonal friend of Mr. Hadfield's wasthen announcing the club programon WNAC, but because of his otherinterests persuaded the former to"try out" for an announcer. Had-field passed his audition test and im-mediately joined the WNAC staff,taking over the duties of his friendMacArdle, as announcer and direc-tor of the WNAC Players abouttwo months later.

In his new position the actor presented some of the first dramatiz-ations ever broadcast in this sec-tion, staging programs that became

immediately popular.While traveling with a stock

company in Wisconsin some yearsago, Hadfield met Miss Rose Hub-ner at Kenosha in that state, andtheir marriage followed a shorttime later. Miss Hubner was anactress, and today her part in radiois the writing of many of the dra-matizations for the programs pre-sented by the Yankee Players.

SubstitutionA photo displayed at the NBC

studios in New York, taken at theoriginal WJZ studio in Newark, N.J., in 1921, shows the announcerspeaking into an ordinary tele-phone receiver instead of a micro-phone.

Rousing Send -OffWhen Kate Smith made her re-

cent debut as a sponsored perform-er, singing on the new La Palinaprogram, a delegation of twentyuniformed smoke -eaters was onhand for the event. They broughtwith them two huge floral tributeswhich they gave to their favoritebefore the program. Many weremembers of the firemen's glee club,scheduled for a Columbia programlater in the week.

WITHINTHE LINES

byJACK D. BRINKLEY (wrIO

How do you do? Glad to seeyou haven't deserted us yet. WhenI started this column little qualmsof conscience began to show them-selves every time I closed my eyesand looked at a long row of Sun-days ahead. "Because", thought I,"how can I ever fill in that spacewhen the material starts runninglow." Now the trouble seems to bekeeping down to the limits of theold column and still telling every-thing important which I heararound the studios.

Walter Damrosch has returnedfrom California, where he con-ducted some of those stupendousHollywood Bowl concerts and madeprominent appearances in SanFrancisco. The NBC maestro willretire to Bar Harbor, Maine for arest and an opportunity to thinkover the new Music Appreciationbroadcasts with its many newfeatures.

The instructor manuals will bedistributed to the schools through-out the country as they were lastseason. A reproduction of a cray-on drawing of Damrosch and a fore-word by M. H. Aylesworth will beincluded in each manual, as will beinstructions to teachers regardingclassroom reception.

The Vermont Lumberjacks, whoentertained us during breakfastlast year, are on the air with thefall programs. The schedule thisseason places this swashbucklingcrew at 7 p. m. over WEEI and thecrimson network. Hank Sullivan,the master -of -ceremonies, is playedby John Whitcomb, a real NewEnglander. Oh yes, the tenor mem-ber of the quartet is called JimTucker but we've heard that voicebefore. Yessuh, it is Leo O'Rourkein person.

Red Nichols and his orchestrawill remain at the Park CentralHotel for some time to come, ac-cording to J. E. Frawley, managerThis means the continuation ofsome good broadcasts over the Co-lumbia system. Many happy re-turns, Mr. Nichols!

The NBC is planning to slipBuddy Rogers into the hearts ofthe feminine listeners, who startedwriting radio letters, when Valleefirst came into prominence. inspite of all this racket about RussColumbo, the campaign for Rogerswill go through. You see, they ex-pect to put Rudy in the "countryclub class", and slip Rogers intothe place which the vagabond loverwill leave in the affections of theyounger sets. By the way, NickLucas promises to hold his ownand build up a good following inspite of the great exploitation givenCrosby and Columbo. Nick is calm-ly and unpretentiously going hisway and adding to his fan lettersevery day.

A new fall program for footballfans is taking the air from WOR.The feature, which is called "Grid-iron Tours,"; gives informationconcerning your journey to andfrom the prominent footballstruggles. Routes are advised androoters are provided with data tomake the journey pleasant and in-teresting.

H -O RHYME CONTEST BRINGS JOY TO FAMILY

"An answer to a housewife'sprayer!"

That's what Mrs. Thomas H.Dunbury, of 28 Bowers Street,West Medford, calls the surprise shegot the other night. It came inthe guise of a brand new electricrefrigerator to replace the old icechest in her home where she pro-vides the "eats" for her husbandand five children.

From a sickbed, Mrs. Dunburytold the story of her heart's prayerand its answer, yesterday. Often,she says, she has remarked to herhusband:

"Just one more thing we need inour beautiful home, dear. Anelectric refrigerator!"

The husband, sitting at the bed-side, agrees.

"And I just had to tell her itwould be a distant day when wecould have one," he explains. "Iam just an everyday hard-workingprovider for a big family. It wasabout all I could do to make bothends meet. The refrigerator seemedmillion; of miles away. But Idetermined to work harder togive my wife the one thing sheneeded to complete our home. ButI have never been able to get anynearer to it. Now, it is here!"

Mrs. Dunbury took up the story;she said she and the children hadbeen seated, listening to the radio.She }Ad just given them theirbreakfast, the chief dish of whichwas their favorite cereal.

"It was Hecker's H -O, the usualmorning meal for us," she declared."Then came the radio announcer'svoice, with word of the Hecker-H-0 Rhyme Contest. Mercy, howwe smiled as we listened! Herewas our big chance!

"Sure, mother, let's try our handat the rhymes," said Hazel, my eld-est, a high school student.

"We'll tell Dad about it tonight,"said I. We made notes as thebroadcast continued.

"That night we all had a sur-prise for Tom when he came home.He knew it by our happiness. Thechildren had pencils all prepared,and the H -O cartons. Tom was as

pleased as we. We talked it overat supper, so happily, and throughthe evening we had the grandest.time filling out the rhyme line. Itwas one of our sweetest eveningsin years. It was a good peppygame, diverting; and though wehad hopes, we never dreamed wewould win. We felt the thrill ofthe contest, though, and thoroughlyenjoyed the fun of it.

"The biggest surprise, and one ofmy happiest, came in the visit of arepresentative of the Hecker com-pany, to tell us the good news."

"It's a blessing, a Godsend,"said the husband. "It means foodkept in the most modern sanitarymanner for the family, milk for thechildren, always cold and good;and cream; and ice cubes for theice packs when sickness comes. Wehave had a, lot of it, but we'll bebetter off to fight germs now.Was I glad to get rid of the oldice box? You bet your life! Bestriddance ever in this home!"

And here's how the Dunburychildren phrased their happiness:

Hazel Elizabeth, 15, family cookduring her mother's illness the pastfew days: "An answer to a maid-en's prayer, Dad-as you said, aGodsend!"

Thomas Henry, Jr., 13 years ofage; holder of the Medford marbleschampionship: "0 boy, hot stufffor the cold 'eats'!"

Jean Ruth, 9: "Ice cubes-Ooo-oo-ooh! I love 'em - icecubes!"

George Arthur, five: "It makesMomsey so happy!"

Frederick John, three: "Me too,Daddy!"

It was just the luckiest break,"Dad-Mr. Dunbury-goes on tosay. "We're so glad my wife tunedin on the Yankee network thatmorning; we have each Monday,Wednesday and Saturday since.And grateful! We all rememberedto thank God in our prayers thatnight we learned we had won thebig prize. It was something Tcould not have afforded for years,perhaps never; and here it is. Whowouldn't be appreciative, and grate-ful!"

COMMERCIAL MANAGER RESIGNS

After four years at WBZ-WBZA,Harold C. Higgins has resigned ascommercial manger. He left Octo-ber 15. While not disclosing hisplans, it is believed that he willtake up a similiar portfolio in thebroadcasting field. Higgins' suc-cessor will be named next week byLloyd C. Thomas, general commer-cial mat/lager of the WestinghouseRadio Stations.

During Higgins's stewardship ofradio sales, the New England West-inghouse stations had their peakyears. At no time since the sta-tions were commercialized in 1926did volume of business exceed the1930 record, and 1931 will showslight, if any, recession from thatyear's high.

Higgins was educa!ted at BrownUniversity. Completing his col-lege course in 1921, he enteredbusiness and for six years workedon advertising and selling cam-paigns for national organizations.In 1928 he joined the Boston Office.

Higgins is married and has acharming four -year -old da/ughter,Joan Belle. For relaxation hecruises in a sporty high-poweredphaeton, shoots at ducks orOuimet's scores in the national am -

HAROLD C. HIGGINSateur, plays vigorous squash andhandball. He is fond of dogs andmaintains a large kennel at hisWellesley Hills home.

ALL KNOW RADIOThe entire menage of Harry (an-

nouncer) von Zell hat become tho-roughly acquainted with the innerworkings of radio. Young KennethHarry, although he's hardly oldenough to know what it's all about,has several times accompanied hismother to the studios to watch hisdaddy at work. And now AdaMay, the colored cook who preparesthe tasty dishes, which grace thevon Zell table, having expressed adesire to see the other half ofHarry's life, has spent a gloriousevening visiting WABC. Further,Ada May's husband is a porter atthe Columbia studios, so the wholehousehold is radio -conscious.

Tripletoe Triplets, New FeatureThe Tripletoe Triplets, a new,

snappy trio to New England's radioaudience, whose first broadcast wason October 9, will continue tobroadcast from Station WEEI, at

2:15 each Friday. The Triplets in-clude Ronnie and Vah and Miss"Buddy" Perron, with Miss NevaMallon at the piano. Radio fanswill remember Ronnie as the youngman who won the Atwater Kentcontest last year in this district.With his partner, Van, he has beenentertaining New England audi-ences for over three years.

Miss Perron and Miss Mallon areNew England Conservatory girls,and have been working regularly allspring and summer on the Oxoland Cain's Mayonnaise programs.

FROM THE STUDIOSEDDIE'S BUSY

EDDIE CANTOR

Eddie Cantor, who has shownabsorbing interest in his NBC radioappearances this month, says hehopes he'll not have to go back tothe stage very soon.

"You see," says Cantor, "thestage often keeps an actor in onetown for a long time, especially ifhe happens to be playing in a popu-lair offering. I prefer getting aboutthe country. If I stay in New Yorktoo long the people in Houstin,Texas, and Cleveland, Ohio, forgetme.

"Now, when I'm on the air-(Yoo-hoo! Cantor speaking!)-theyall listen, that is, until they recog-nize that golden Cantor baritone.Then, even if they turn me off,I've still had my little joke. I maylose my battle for the Presidency,but it'll take the Federal RadioCommission to keep me off theair!"

Eddie has announced himself asa candidate for President and hasselected his cabinet as follows: WillRogers, Secretary of State; GeorgeJessel, Secretary of the Treasury;Chic Sales, Secretary of the Inter-ior; the Four Marx Brothers, At-torneys -general; Charlie Chaplin,Scretary of Wair, and his ownbrother-in-law, who hasn't workedin a year, Secretary of Labor.

High AspirationsBing Crosby, he of the throaty

baritone, got the urge for a theat-rical career while a student at Gon-zaga College in Spokane, Wash.He was a leader in scholastic dra-matic activities and after a per-formance of "Seven Keys to Bald-pate" was signed by Lee Morrisonfor a part in a touring coast pro-duction.

Safety FirstRuss Columbo: If you loved me,

why did you refuse me at first?Dorothy Knapp: I wanted to see

what you would do.Russ: But I might have rushed

off without waiting for an explana-tion.

Dorothy: Hardly. I had the doorlocked.

Quite RitzyCol. Stoopnagle: So you spent

your vacation at a fasionable re-sort?

Budd: Fashionable-why, theyeven put on riding breeches to tosshorseshoes.

HonoredRecently while sightseeing

through the coal mines near Scran-ton, Pa., Alois Havrilla, NBC an-nouncer, saw the mine mule whosename is Milton J. Cross, named af-ter the NBC announcer of thatname. Cross was down in the minethe first day the mule came in, and,as it is customary to name allmules, the miners conferred anhonor on Cross by naming the muleafter him.

Takes TripThe mother of James Melton,

featured NBC tenor, annuallyjourneys from Florida to hear herson sing in the studios at NewYork. She is Mrs. J. W. Melton ofOcala, Fla. On her present visitshe brought with her Mary Melton,13, the youngest of the Meltonswho, celebrating her first studiovisit, sat right next to the micro-phone as her big bectLer sank withthe famous Revelers Quartet.

The "Prince"

GEORGE BREAKSTONE

George Breakstone, juvenileNBC artist, who was chosen"Prince" of the Radio -ElectricalWorld's Fair, being held at Madi-son Square Garden in New YorkCity the week of September 21.Breakstone is nine years old and isheard regularly on the Children'sHour every Sunday morning overan NBC-WBZ network and on theLady Next Door program dailyover an NBC-WEEI network.

Four TypesListeners to the daily Women's

Radio Review programs hear fourdifferent types of music. The pro-gram opens with salon music, con-tinues with American period music,then Continental, and concludeswith poular dance tunes, all playedby the Vincent Lopez orchestra.Many of the selections have neverbefore been used in radio.

Compliments?Occasionally there are touches of

humor in the mountain of mail ar-riving daily at the studios. Therewas the maternal soul, for example,who wrote Ben Alley that she wasprepared to adopt him. Then therewas the western admirer who wrotethe blonde Andre Baruch: "I have

heard you on the air many timesand imagine you as a tall, darkhandsome man with a charmingmoustache and a straight -forwardface. Will you be so kind as tosend me a picture of the studio?"

Another dubious compliment wasthat reaching Emery Deutsch. "Ihave terrible pains in my leg,"wrote the fan, "so if you play`You're Driving Me Crazy' theneverything will be complete."

Paul Oliver: Is the doctor in?Attendant: No, he stepped out

for lunch.Oliver: Will he be in after lunch?Attendant: Why, no, that's what

he went out after.

Olga Albani: Did you say the pro-fessor was absent-minded?

Olive 'Palmer: Absent-minded rWhy, he read an erroneous accountof his death in a newspaper andsent himself a wreath.

Mrs. Downey: My husband and Iattend to our budget every evening.It is more economical.

Harriet Lee: How so, dear?Mrs. Downey: By the time we get

it balanced, it's too late to go any-where.

Blackbirds ReturnThe Black Iron Blackbirds, a

snappy male trio have returned toNew England's radio audience -from station WBZ at 7:15 P. M.on Tuesday beginning October 6.

The blackbirds include Frank Mc -Sherry, Connie Murphy and EdParker with Julia Goldman accom-panying on the piano. All hailfrom Worcester. Radio fans willprobably remember their werk last.Winter and Spring, for they wereextremely popular at that timejudging by the number of lettersthey received.

The blackbirds will be presentedeach week through the Fall andWinter season.

Rush!A fan writes Vaughn de Leath,.

NBC's original radio girt. "Tenyears algo I received a letter fromyou and pasted it on the wall.Now someone has stolen it (theletter-not the wall). Please sendme another."

FROM THE FANSEditor RADIOLOG:

In your reasonably concise publica-tion, I have found what I have beenlooking for, for some time-up-to-datenews and articles of radio programsand entertainers.

It is perfectly amazing to me whythere are so very few publications onthe world's greatest rising discovery-radio. There are numerous magazinesprinted-yes, but, unlike yours, theircontents are usually several weeks old.So I am extremely grateful to the pub-lishers of RADIOLOG for giving meand the biggest audience in the worldsomething to look forward to each week,to read-not wondering whether the an-nounced forthcoming programs havealready passed weeks previous.

I hope never to miss one of yourweekly editions.

InspiredWilliam Lundell, NBC announ-

cer, tells this one on Lowell Patton,composer -organist, whose program,"A Song for Today", is broadcastevery morning.

Several years ago Patton be-came stranded in a small Texasoil town. There was no room forhim in the small wooden hotel thetown boasted, so he set out in apouring rain looking for a place tosleep, finally taking refuge in asmall church where he started toplay the organ. A poem receivedfrom a friend inspired a song as hesat there with the rain beatingdown on the roof. That song, nowknown as "Rose of Shannon", wascomposed on the back page of anold hymn book, and Patton nowuse-, it as his signature song on hisdaily NBC broadcast.

Expensive CargoWhen James Melton, tenor, took

fellow members of the RevellersQuartet $board his yacht recently,he discovered he had more than$500,000 in life insurance policiesrepresented among them Melton'sboat nearly blew up several wee'csbefore when a cigaret stub ignitedits fuel.

He acceded toa request fro "My Wild Irish Rose",but in the middle of the chorus hestopped-the words had slipped hismemory.
