ALONG THE. RADIO WAVES • tt tt tt tt a tt tt tt Sudden Death of Roxy Sends Into Discard Plans of Two Chains to Restore His Prestige as Headliner

THE sudden death of 8. L. (Roxy) Rothafel sent the carefully laid plans of two broadcasting systems to the wastebasket. Recalling when “Roxy’s Gang" was one of the best spots on radio programs, the new plans were designed to restore some of the fading Roxy radio prestige. Recently, Roxy had had a program of his own, but the networks were building greater things for him, a special show built around his personality. CBS had planned an elaborate musical for 8 o’clock Sunday nights, the same time as the Major Bowes hour, to be called “Roxy’s Professionals.” Ten years ago, he was among the first to introduce light classics and bits of opera to radio, and was acknowledged for his distinctiveness. Os late, he had become less impressive because his productions had become one of radio’s standards, and he was competing with many programs of the same sort. The new programs were to place him apart from the average run of program.'. * u n T ESLIE Hu w'ARD is not to be hea:d tomorrow in his weekly dramatization. His time is to be qiven over to President Roose■velt’s tribute speech at the dedication of the New York State Theodore Roosevelt Memorial at 1 p. m. over an NBC-WJZ network. NBC also is to broadcast the world premiere of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Symphony at 3 over the WEAF hookup. The symphony was written by Vittorio Giannini. n a Mary Pickford is to return to the air. America’s Sweetheart is to he featured by WABC in a series starting Feb. 11, which is to be broadcast from her palatial home, Pickfair. It is to be staged as an informal little home party with screen stars being called upon for music and entertainment. tt tt tt A1 Jolson is to provide a variety of entertainment on his Chateau program tomorrow night at 8:30 on the NBC-WEAF network. Barbara Stanwyck is to appear before the microphone in a starring dramatic role. Dutch Clark, scintillating backfield star of Detroit Lions professional football champions, is to be interviewed by Mr. Jolson, who also is to introduce Betty Roth, Hollywood singer, a newcomer to national networks. tt tt tt THE Voice of Experience has many strange requests for pclvice from lovelorn and troubled people, and the program has ascended rapidly in popularity. Confessions of every type have been poured in confidence on the desk of the public adviser, but he was amazed recently at the faith of two correspondents who admitted they are murderers and are asking for candid suggestions. tt tt tt Young Man About Town is the title of a series of 13 broadcasts given each Saturday night at 6:30 over WFBM. Sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, it is a sequel to a previous series called Things We All Should Know About Indianapolis. tt tt Arthur Pryor, bandmaster and trombonist, is to appear as guest director of the Carborundum band over CBS tonight at 6:30. Composer of a number of famous march and band selections. Mr. Pryor is to play Victor Herbert’s “Serenade’’ and pay tribute to other composers. tt tt a THE Music Goes ’Round and Around” is not losing its popularity with radio listeners. For the second week it leads the list of 15 songs to be played on the Hit Parade broadcast at 7 tonight over NBC-WEAF network. So great have been the sheet music and record sales and requests to radio stations and orchestra leaders that the tune is expected to head the list for several weeks. Because many popular songs are restricted, the songs of yesteryear are creeping back into prominence. “Darktown Strutters Ball,” “Margie” and "Lady of Spain” are included on tonight’s review. a >t James Melton is tc be starred opposite Helen Jcpson, celebrated Metropolitan Opera singer, in the musical comedy “Irene,” when it is presented on the Beauty Box Theater broadcast tonight at 7 on the CBS chain. The two were popular in a radio adaptation of Lily Pons’ picture, “I Dream Too Much,” when they appeared together for the first time, and are repeating by request. u it tt RubinofT challenges even the song composers to recognize “The Music Goes ’Round and Around” when he plays a special arrangement of it tonight as a highlight on his program at 8 via the NBCWEAF network. Other current dance numbers are on the program with the vocalists, Jan Peerce, tenor, end Virginia Rea, soprano. it NINO MARTINI, noted lyric tenor, is to offer an aria from “Tosca” and two songs by Drigo and De Koven as a feature of his program with Andre Kostelanetz’s orchestra and chorus at 8 on the CBS chain. tt a a Three University of Chicago professors tc probe the immediate social, political and economic implication® of the Supreme Court decision striking out the AAA of the New Dv?al tomorrow at 11:30 a. m. tt tt The Radio City Music Hall Symphony Orchestra with Jan Peerce as soloist is to be heard in a broadcast tomorrow morning at 11:30. Conducting his final concert of the year at the helm of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchesui. Sir Thomas Beeqjiam Is to present another program of English music and a Mozart symphony over the combined CBS and

Canadian networks tomorrow at 2.

He is to sing his newest tune, “I Go ’Round With the Guys Who Wrote the Music Goes ’Round and Around,” tomorrow at 6 when he entertains the composers of America’s latest song hit on the Columbia chain. tt tt tt Robert L.

FARM LEADERS DRAW UP OWN AAA ALTERNATE Program Takes Exception to Certain Features of New Deal Plan. By United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—Plans of Administration leaders to put into effect anew farm program based almost entirely upon the 1935 soil conservation act were met today by vigorous counter-proposals of organized farm groups. The Administration plan, as outlined by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, provides for contracts wth farmers to take land out of production for conservation of the nation’s soil fertility. Department of Agriculture experts believe that by this method production can be controlled sufficiently to achieve a balance between supply and demand, with farm produce prices remaining near present levels. While agreeing with soil conservation purposes, the National Agricultural Conference, composed 61 heads of far morganizations called here to confer on an AAA substitute, proposed a program differing in important respects with that of the Administration. Demands Are Outlined In a statement to President Roosevelt, Secretary Wallace and Congress, the conference advanced two principles “that we have neither inclination nor authority to surrender or compromise on.” They were: “1. The right of American farmers to be given machinery by which they can adjust supply and demand by legal means with something like the same effectiveness with which American industry adjusts supply and demand—but with provisions safeguarding farmer control and also safeguarding consumer welfare against extending adjustment into scarcicy. “2. The right of the American farmer to receive for his products prices which will give him average purchasing power equal to that he had in 1909-14.” Basic Principles Defined The conference composed of heads of the National Grange, American Farm Bureau Federation, National Co-operative Council, and the Farmers’ National Grain Corporation advocated “balanced abundance and just prices protecting the interests of both producers and consumers.” While asserting it would not attempt to define details of legislation, the conference recommended the folowing “basic principles”: 1. Expansion of outlets for farm products in domestic and foreign markets. 2. The development by Congress of the most effective legal means for government to assist farmers in adjusting the volume of production to markets demands. 3. Continuation and expansion of a policy of commodity loans to handle seasonal surpluses in such a manner as would be most effective in stabilizing farm commodity prices in the interest of both producers and consumers. The statement said in regard to I

ATTENDING the All-American Air Maneuvers at Miami, Fla. —which is a smaller edition of the National Air Races—were delegations from the Cuban and Colombian air forces. And you know there is something strange about, airmen ... for even though they only know a few words of the other fellow’s language, it is interesting to see how ouickly they can get along and understand each other by means of motions and maneuvers with their hands. Both groups of foreign pilots— Cuban and Colombian—were keenly interested in my beautiful little Hawk. And after I had pointed out each and every piece of equipment on board, they all wound up by signifying they would enjoy the privilege of flying that lovely ship. And significant also was the delicate understanding, common among airmen, that while it is quite proper and fitting to compliment a pilot on his airplane, they all indicated plainly, with a courteous gesture, that their appreciation must not be monetary policies that “the farmer is entitled to a national credit and monetary system which will provide credit to agriculture at the lowest rates possible consistent with sound financing policies, and will provide an honest and stable currency to safeguard him against the fluctuations in monetary values which have bankrupted millions in the past.” Bills providing payment for carrying out 1935 adjustment contracts were reported favorably by both House and Senate agriculture committees yesterday. The Senate measure, introduced by Minority Leader Charles L. McNary, authorizes appropriation of $300,000,000 for the purpose. The House bill, sponsored by agriculture committee Chairman Marvin Jones, calls* for $296,000,000. Meanwhile, Administration leaders studied the 1935 conservation act, apparently convinced the measure is broad enough to furnish a basis "for new production control program.

Such a package, was turned over to them when found on a deserted street corner. STRONG MAN IS KNITTER Livestock Inspector Is Star With Needles at Home. By United Press M’COOK, Neb., Jan. 18.—John J.

Curran finds relaxation in knitting, crochetin'- and quiltmaking. i

interpreted as a request to fly the ship. There was one little thing that happened at that meet which made the occasion one of the outstanding moments of my life. Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, the great American ace who so gloriously upheld the honor and prestige of American airmen during the World War, had set up a prize for airmanship. And I was lucky enough to be awarded that trophy for a little bit of flying I did at the meet. Capt. Rickenbacker is in Europe at the present time and will present the trophy to me some time after his return to this country. I’d rather have a trophy one inch high and made of stone from Eddie Rickenbacker for something I’ve done in the air than a whole carload of gold tropies from any one else. We all indulge in hero-worship, and Capt. Rickenbacker has always been my privately worshipped flying hero. QUESTION—What country holds the most aircraft records? France, with 40.
