'SWING MUSIC POPULAR ON AIR

Goodman, Wildest of Swingers, to Introduce Odd Interpretations Over NBC-WEAF March 17 Town Hall Program at 8 Tonight Will Find Feud Between Fred Allen, Jack Benny Renewed: Bird Is Scheduled to Talk Again. BY RALPH NORMAN SPONSORS have shied from ‘swine music, although the late dance hours are overrun with weird "swing” interpretations. The fact that it dominates phonograph record sales is further proof of its popularity. However, one of the wildest of the "swingers." Benny Goodman, is to get a chance to introduce his specialty commercially. A Tuesday evening program featuring him is to open March 17 on NBC-WEAF under sponsorship of a watch company whose advertising has been conservative and dignified.

The sponsor is going all the way. too, with his innovation, calling it "Swing Time Revue.” The extent of “swing” music .on sponsored programs for some time may depend upon response to this new series. a a a HAVE sponsors concluded that good music is not profitable commercially? After several seasons, sponsorship ol the Metropolitan Opera has been dropped, and Erno Rapee’s Sunday evening orchestra programs have featured lighter music this winter. But the networks are presenting more symphonic and chamber music on daylight series, and the Saturday Metropolitan programs have been continued without sponsorship. For one thing, these programs help sell radios to persons not interested in the ordinary commercial. At the same time, networks and stations can point to “public service,” if occasion for defense of policy arises. a o tt TOWN HALL BULLETIN Last week Fred Allen promised Town Hall Tonight listeners a talking bird, hut Fred did all the talking. The bird, Jack Benny and Marv Livingstone are to make delayed anpearances at Town Hall Tonight at R on NBC-WEAF (WLW). But if you tune in and hear instead a trained seal and a couple of political speakers, don’t be surprised. tt n tt Because Michael RafTetto was ill, the character of Paul Barbour was missing from One Man’s Family scripts for six months. Fully recovered Mr. RafTetto is to resume his part in the dramatization tonight, NBC-WEAF (WLW) at 7. and a family party in his honor has been written into the script. Each member of the Barbour group will have some special contribution to make to Paul’s welcome. V tt tt TJROGRAM NOTES When -*■ Aunt Sarah of the Corn Cob Pipe Club sings “RiAßrr Stay Away From My Door.” NBC-WJZ (WIRE) at 8, she really will mean it. Rising floods are playing havoc around Richmond, Va., where the program originates; warm-voiced solos by Connie Boswell and vocal interludes by A1 Bowlly are to be featured by Ray Noble, CBS (WFBM) at 8:30; Warden Lewis E. Lawes will take the story of the Prodigal Son for his 20,000 Years in Sing Sing talk, NBC-WJZ (WIRE) at 8:30; the true story behind the Gray Anthony bank robbers’ capture is to be dramatized by Gang Busters. CBS (WFBM) at 9; more amateurs at the Indianapolis General Motors show will be aired by WIRE at 9:30. o Subzero temperatures presented a peculiar problem to r>dio stations. With declining temperatures, it became increasingly hard to keep the cooling systems from freezing, and overheated tubes resulted. Blizzards, cold and ice tested the networks’ efficiency. It is to the credit of chains and independent stations that few programs were interrupted. a a Latest studio news Sigmund Rnmberg’s program is to be moved from Tuesday to Monday evening, beginning March 16. . . .

was excellent and should continue so. Emperor Hirohito summoned his personal advisers and leading statesmen and officers to the imperial palace. After a conference there, the home office announced that Fumio Goto, home secretary, was tendered, and accepted, the acting prime ministry. Takahashi was believed the principal target of attack. The revolt was another stage in the centuriesold fight between civil leaders and army men who hold that the army is supreme. The young officers who revolted wanted to eliminate liberal leaders. Takahashi won their bitter enmity by opposing big army appropriations. Prince Saionji Safe Venerable Prince Saionji, last of the elder statesmen and the emperor's closest adviser; Gen. Yoshiyuki Kawashima, minister of war, and minister of the imperial household Yussa were believed to have been on the assassin's list, but were safe. Young officers of a regiment of the first division garrisoned in Tokyo led the revolt. Their motive was a direct action protest against the liberal trend of last Thursday's parliamentary election, and an effort to impose on the country the ancient ideal that the army, under the direct and benev-

olent rule of the emperor, is the real power. Apparently no high officers were involved. Okada Also Hated The coup caused the suspension of the stock and commodity exchanges but business generally proceeded normally and banks conducted their usual operations. •Finance Minister Takahashi was regarded as the main target of the assassins because of his stout resistance to demands of the Army and Navy for larger appropriations. He enraged Nationalists in a recent budget speech when he said that nobody was going to attack Japan at present and that what the country really needed was to better the lot of its own people. Premier Okada, a retired admiral, was called into the prime ministry to take charge of the “national’’ government organized July 8, 1934. He, too, was hated by extremists for his liberalism. Admiral Saito was long marked for assassination because he, too. would not subscribe to the Army tradition. His elevation to the post of keeper of the privy seal, which made him a close adviser of Emperor Hirochito, made It necessary, from the Nationalist standpoint, for him to die. Several months ago Dr. Tatsukichi Minobe of the'lmperial University, a constitutional authority, ad-

resistance to wear, tear and abuse. It will write family history in the new sort of satisfaction it gives you and yours. But highlight of the news is that you can buy the Buick Special for a mere two or three dollars a week more than the lowest-priced cars. The GMAG Time Payment Plan brings down the cost of buying “on time,” makes payments easy, removes the last cause for waiting to “step up” to a Buick. We’d like to, show you the phenomenal Special, let you drive it, figure out the arithmetic on it. It’s worth your while just to find out how little it costs to get a car that’s big in more ways than its inches! When may we see you?

vanced the theory in a book that the Emperor was but the highest organ of the government, not the government itself. Theory Is Election Issue The Minobe theory was a principal Issue in the election of Feb. 20. and was partly responsible for the political disputes that led to it. In the election the Seiyukai's representation in parliament diminished from 242 seats to 175. The Minseito Party increased its representation from 127 to 205, which, in a parliament of 466 seats, assured a working majority with the support of other parties regarded as having liberal tendencies. Even more distasteful to the reactionaries was the increase of representation of the proletarian or social mass parties from three seats to 22. Started Centuries Bark It is a fight which goes back to the dark days of history when Japan was a country closed to the outside world, a world of its own with a knightly tradition unmatched, even in the days of European chivalry, by other nations. For a generation it has been a sharp issue as Japan- absorbed Western political ideas, and each stage has been marked by bloodshed. Prince Ito, called the father of constitutionalism, first challenged the tradition that the armed forces directly under the Emperor are the supreme power and the inheritors of the national traditions. In 1932, Premier Tsuyoshi Inukai supported too vigorously the constitutional theory and he, also, was killed by junior officers. Only last week, after election returns showed a victory for liberalism. Prof. Minobe was wounded in the leg. PROBERS WANT 550.000 Townsend Investigators to Ask House for Inquiry Funds.

ESCAPES BLAZE, BUT DIES LATER Woman Flees From Flaming Home, Succumbs to Heart Disease. Mrs. Anna Huebner, awakened early today when flames from a basement fire in her home. 436 N. Temple-av, spread to her sleeping room, fought her way to the porch through smoke and gas, and then died of heart disease. She was 57 and had been ill for a week. Other members of the family escaped in their night clothes. William Huebner, her husband, long employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and just recovering from an operation to remove cataracts from his eyes, tried in vain to extinguish the fire. The smoke blinded him and he was placed under a doctor's care. The fire started, firemen said, when hot ashes poured into a wooden box ignited it.. Flames from this ignited a wooden partition in the coal bin. and the blaze shot up through the floor into a clothes closet in Mrs. Huebner's room. Other members of the family who escaped unhurt are Raymond, 24; Edith. 20; Beulah, 18; Paul. 14, and Robert, 22. Two other children, Mrs. Eva White and Earl, also live in Indianapolis. Damage to the home and furnishings was estimated by the family at S3OO. BITTER FIGHT REPORTED Italian and Ethiopians Clash in Southern Part of Country.
