By RALPH NORMAN Fred MacMurray is to succeed

Dick Powell as master of ceremonies

of “Hollywood Hotel,” the advertising agency which handles the show has announced.

Although CBS has not confirmed this report, the network previously had announced that Fred and Carole Lombard were. to be the show’s guest stars tonight, to preview scenes from their new movie, “Swing High, Swing Low.” If Fred tonight becomes master of ceremonies of this popular program which originates in Hollywood and is carried locally by WFBM at 8 o'clock, original plans doubtless have been changed to provide for a gala welcome for the movie star, and he may not be heard in the movie rreview. Fred is far from being a newcomer to the networks. He has been heard in movie previews several times on “Hollywood Hotel,” and he was guest star Monday for the CBS “Radio Theater.” on 2 = Indianapolis is to have ils own version of the amateur hour, to be broadcast by WFBM at 2 p. m. Sunday, Jan. 24. Participants will be winners of 18 “Children’s Hour” -programs which WFBM broadcasts at 10 o’clock each Saturday morning, and will include youngsters from Indianapolis and several other Indiana cities, The broadcast will originate in English’s, and, in true “amateur hour” fashion, winners of cash prizes, totaling $100, will be determined by audience applause. Admission to the broadcast will be by ticket only and tickets may be secured without charge after 11 a. m. tomorrow at the information booth at the Wm. H. Block Co. : n » ” Rex Chandler, conductor of NBC's new: “Universal Rhythm” program which WLW will carry at 8 o’clock tonight, probably is radio’s most air-minded maestro. Since he began flying in 1918, he has owned four planes and has flown more than 2500 hours. His active interest in aeronautics began when Glenn Curtis was impressed with model ships the young musician had conceived ,and built. ‘Encouraged by Mr. Curtis, he soon was flying his own ship, and hag — been flying since. He numbers Clarence Chamberlin and Ruth Nichols among his closest friends.

nothing in this world succeeds like

Short Wave Radio Brings Propaganda, Dean Claims

By United Press

CHAPEL HILL, N. C, Jan. 15.—Dean Carl W. Ackerman of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism warned today that “a universal war of ideas is being fought by short wave radio,” endangering the integrity of news and breaking down the resistance of American

listeners to foreign propaganda.

Dean Ackerman spoke at the annual newspaper institute sponsored by the North Carolina Press Association at the University of North

Carolina. He said the infiltration of propaganda into the press and its invasion of the air constituted “a national emergency” calling for action by governmental and educational agencies. Unless propaganda is curbed, he said, newspapers will - lose their prestige and legitimate public opinlon will lose its voice. The dean said he had tuned in on hroadcasts from Moscow, Berlin, Rome, London, Paris and other foreign capitals. “There can be little doubt,” he asserted, “that short wave broadcasting from the chief centers of Europe is one of the most important developments influencing public opinion in the United States and Canada since the beginning of moderm journalism.” : “International propaganda on the air every night will have a profound influences on mass thought and action,” he continued.

Many Listen to Abroad

He estimated that approximately 40 per cent of American radio sets are capable of receiving foreign stations. And European countries, he added, “are studying American interests and reactions.” “Under conditions prevailing today ideas may be shot from foreign governmental radio stations into the minds of our citizens like bullets

& mpxim. silencer, |

as farsas any public record is concerned,” he said. “This - happens every night, but the press does not consider this news, while educational institutions look upon the radio as an academic

untouchable.” : Mr. Ackerman said he did not fear propaganda “if it is open and

| above board,” but, he protested, *‘a

universal war of ideas is being fought by short wave radio, and neither the people nor the Government is alert to the dangers or prepared to safeguard or defend themselves.” Foreign countries have attempted by use of short wave radio, he as~ serted, to rob the United States of the good will of “our southern neighbors.”

Other Propaganda Sources But propaganda also comes from other, seemingly mere innocuous, sources, he said.

“In Washington, in every State

capital and in every metropolitan center the news of government today is primarily propaganda of, by and on behalf of those who held public office,” he asserted. “In every department of the daily newspaper—in business, in markets, in sports, in society, everywhere probably except in the death notices and to a limited degree on the edi- ; ‘page—there is propagands.”

Broadcasting Pasadena’s famous Tournament of Roses was no bed of roses for NBC announcers. Don Wilson narrowly -escaped injury when a beflowered float backed into his mobile unit from which he was broadcasting. Clinton Twiss had to steer a blimp flying 2000 feet above Pasadena when the motor developed trouble and the pilot had to make repairs. The announcer. never had been pilot before.

Ken Carpenter maintained his reputation for being NBC’s “hard luck” announcer. An excited girl seeking a better view of the parade tried to climb aboard - portable sound equipment, and grasped Carpenter's coat coliar. There was a tearing sound, and Ken found himself coatless.
