Announcement of the Women's | National Radio Committee's selec- | tion of meritorious radio programs [will be made over the combined |CBS, NBC and Mutual networks from 12:30 to 1 p. m. tomorrow. The awards, covering musical, | dramatic, variety, news, educational | and children’s programs, will be pre [sented by Anning S. Prall, Federal | Communications Commissioner, | speaking at the organization's lunch[eon in New York City. Other speakers will include CBS | President William §. Paley; Mutual | President Alfred J. McCosker, and an NBC representative. Mme. YO= |landa Mero-Irion, committee chair- | man, will introduce the speakers. Winning programs were selected | after a nation-wide poll, but the organization's executive committee members and broadcasting experts | assisted in making the final choice. | Readers may recall that last year’s selections varied from poll results, | causing hurt feelings and indigna= | tion among certain PEORICUSIETS: ” The awards dodbiless will mean much more to broadcasters than to listeners. To the former, it will indicate a program not only is heard regularly, by a high percentage of listeners, but is approved over other programs of similar nature. To the listener, though, the announcement will follow several similar polls,” and regardless of selections, listening habits probably will be changed little, if any. »
“Mi-mi=-mi-mi-mi”’ sing Conrad Thibault, baritone, and Francia White, soprano, rehearsing for the Astaire-Butterworth show which goes on NBC-WIRE at 8:30 o'clock tonight. Thibault's solo will be “Lover, Come Back to Me,” and Astaire will introduce a new number, “You Can't Take It With You.” Comedian Butterworth continues his Grandpa Sneed's family history with introduction of more ancestors, and Johnny Green's orchestra and Trudy Wood, vocalist, will round out the program.

Several brand new programs, inhaugurated last winter on Tuesday evenings, will be with us for a spring series, perhaps longer. Tuesday evening, in fact, despite its un=tried and experimental shows, has fewer spring changes scheduled than most evenings. Jack Oakie's “College” has been renewed, and will begin its new run tonight, featuring Pat O’Brien as guest star. Judy Garland, youthful singer who has guest starred week after week tonight becomes a regular cast member. Shaw and Lee and the two bands—Georgie Stoll's Harry and Benny Goodman's—will con= Postar tinue. rere mee —— " Al Pearce's “Watch the Fun Go Indien: Roel Peutch's Or. Moon. River lage GF By” likewise has been renewed, the Nichols Or. Pearce cast remaining, to be bol- ’ stered each week by guest stars. Jean Ellington, West Coast singer, is tonight's extra performer. The first of Al Jolson's new series will be presented tonight, featuring, besides Jolson as headliner, Martha | Raye, Parkyakarkus and Victor Sing, Neighbor Silent [Young's orchestra. Although the News | original cast remains, with exception of “Parky’s” substitution for Sid Silvers, the Jolson show has been revised several times. Comedy - was important at first, then was : » dropped for Jolson's heavy, dra=Lamplighter matic songs. Now these are bein Good Morning dropped for extra comedy by Por yvakarkus and others. n un ” The “Husbands and Wives” broadcast, which the NBC-Blue network has carried at 8:30 p. m, moves, after next week, to 7 p. m. Jackie Coogan's “Dude Ranch” series, starring the former child movie star as “Billy, the Kid,” faded with last week's program, but will return to the air next fall, possibly with a new cast. Edgar Guest's “Welcome Valley” serial fades after tonight's broadcast over NBC-WLW at 7:30 o'clock, but the poet-broadcast will continue on the same stations at the same hour with a new show called “It Can Be Done.”

MOST PEOPLE fool themselves far worse than they fool anybody else. And they usually do it honestly. For example, why do husbands and wives quarrel about money? Psychologists have found it is usually because of a lack of sex adjustment and this usually goes back to the first week of married life. But, they honestly fool themselves that. they are quarrelling about money, altheugh that is not the real reason. When you brag about your ability or achievements, you think
European families Amman,” Sve Folate +
MOST of the royal families of the world have been above the average in general ability, at least in war and government. Most of them in the course of time decline in ability and even become spotted with defectives. However, F. A. Woods, our chief authority, has shown this is always due to their poor marriages. For example, the insanity in the Bourbons and Hapsburgs of Spain and Austria came in from a marriage into an obscure baron’s family that was afflicted with insanity. Prior to that they had many persons of very a ability and character. The North

| councilor. Collin was one of the | many writers from whom Becthoven
sought a libretto in his vain quest | | the typesetters,
for suitable opera libretto. The composer had in mind at least a dozen possible opera plots at one time or another, among them “Romeo and Juliet” and “Faust.” In this rather brief overture we find one of the finest examples ‘of descriptive writing. It is music of a sort that places its creator among the Romantic rather than Classic composers—if one is a stickler “schools.” With an outline of the familiar story of the Roman soldier and patrician in mind, the music tells its own story with a vivid artistry that needs no elaborate commentary. ” u ”n Mzestro Arturo Toscanini celebrated his 70th birthday last week. He received -corgratulatory mes- | sages, of course, from all parts ot the world. One of these was a
from David Sarncff, RCA presideiit. In response to Mr. Sarnoff’s inquiries concerning the conductor's health — which recent press dis-
too good—Mr. Toscanini replied: “lI am feeling poten well and I never felt in my life. I have phd Hy FEpor i hod this

Radio Probe Move Gains
By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 30. — A |
move for Congressional investigation of the fast-growing United States radio industry has gained strength with several House leaders indicating they would support the inquiry. A resolution ordering such an investigation, introduced by Chairman William P. Connery (D. Mass.) of the House ".abar Committee, is pending before the Administrationcontrolled Rules Hearngs wre suhediiled So,
Program notes indicate the forthcoming offering will be another variation of broadcasters’ reigning favorite—‘listener participation’ with Mr. Guest directing a drama- | tization based on the life of some | successful person who believed the | poet's philosophy as expressed in his | poem which ends: “He started to sing As he tackled the thing That couldn't be done— And he did it.” = » on “Easter Parade” led the Easter song parade, and was played over the networks last week at least 50 times, perhaps oftener. This popular Irving Berlin tune doubtless would have been featured even more frequently, but the networks rule a song cannot be repeated on any one network within four hours. Broadcasters who did not schedule “Easter Parade” far in advance were left to hunt other appropriate tunes. " u u Senator Joseph T. Robinson (D. Ark.) speaks tonight on the Presi dent's Supreme Court reorganiza=tion plan, his address to be carried by CBS-WFBM at 9:30 o'clock. Other interesting Tuesday offerings—Pauline Frederick, who played Queen Elizabeth in Helen Hayes’ “Mary of Scotland” and who currently appears in the Broadway production, “The Masque of Kings,” heads CBSWFBM's “Music Hall” guest list for the 7 o'clock show. Frank Parker, airplane service not failing, will be in Miami to star with Ben Bernie (WLW at 8 o'clock). The Old Maestro worked s0 hard in the movies while in California, his friends are telling, he had to go to Florida for rest. Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, over CBS stations at 10:45 o'clock tomorrow morning, will tell how the Quintup=lets are disciplined to prevent over= development of temper. Dr. Dafoe, if you're interested in health talks, speaks at this hour each Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

The result is unfay to writers and publishers of songs not recognized by “Your Hit . Parade,” the contention is, and there are said to be ready to do something about’ :
