By RALPH NORMAN

Citing mail response as evidence, the United States Office of Education contends there is a definite and ~~ |widespread interest in serious, in- - | formative radio programs. :

The Education Office, in co-oper-ation with the networks, sponsors several programs, all of which have established listener interest.in competition with lighter radio fare. A second Government agency, the Department of Commerce, now comes forth with the argument that listeners, although they like to | be amused much of the time, occasionally want to be instructed.

Secretary Roper, announcing .! renewal of the department’s CBS Saturday afternoon series on great American industries, declared popular response to the ‘program indicates “widespread. and growing popular interest in affairs of our great industries. I am pleased to note an increasing desire upon the part of American business leaders to encourage this ° popular interest in the affairs of business.” : , “ Requests for 25,000 copies of the | program’s talks have been received,

The art of microphone conversation starts, if we may judge by the above pictures, with one’s thumb in his cheek. When the candid cameraman visited NBC's rehearsal studio, he found Col. Stoopnagle and Buda working on script for the NBC-WIRE Sunday afternoon show. , Their scintillating talk went something like this, the pictures indicate: “Hmmmmm ...” “Well ,. .¥ “Good? ...” “Sure!” The boys were struck dumb by their own eloquence, and the cameraman went home to develop his photographs.

The Department of .Commerce programs, which opened Jan. 16 and which continue through May 29, feature talks on various American industries by Harry R. Daniel, the department's director of public relations.

Mr. Daniel, incidentally, is a Hoosier, although he has ‘been away from Indiana many years. He is a native of Ft. ‘Wayne, and several years ago published a newspaper at Decatur, Ind. From Decatur, he went to Chicago, and from Chicago to New York. . As an official in a New York financial house, Mr. Daniel developed a radio program, which he broadcast for about a year and a half. He joined the Department of Commerce staff for two years ago. “The Agricultural Machinery: Industry” will be Mr. Daniel's topic for. his CBS-WFBM talk at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow.

DOES THE ONE You DO FIRST INDICATE

ANNTHING

ABOUT

YOUR GENERALZ PERSONALITY?

YE OR NO — i

IN a test of personality traits devised by Dr. Henry C. Link

and his associates of the Psychological Corp. of New York, they find that people who habitually select the hard job first rank higher on the general personality test than those who select the easy job first. Sometimes a very little thing tells a big story about a man’s character.

s » u

NO. As I said yesterday popular beliefs about nature are of necessity wrong. Dr. August Thomen, of N. Y. U,, diet authority, in -his book, “Don’t Believe It,” knocks a lot of the old food-notions into a cocked hat—that oranges will cause

acid stomach, that eating green

apples will cause stomach-ache, that » oy ’ :

ARE MOST PEOPLE PROUD OF

THEIROCCUPATION?

YES OR NO eee

milk is fattening, that beef tea is

nourishing, that any food is reducing—that—well, that anything much believed about food from long experience” (or display advertising) is true. Onions will, however, often prevent colds by keeping at a distance a person who has eaten them to cure his cold.

" Rin DEPENDS on what they think

the public thinks of it. Three East Texas Teachers College psy-

chologists selected the 30 most com- |

mon occupations in the U. S. Census and had three groups rank them as to how they thought they stood in public esteem. The three groups were: (1) employed people. (2) college students, and (3) CCC work-

hey ¥i

“man’s |.

ers. Nearly all placed some occupations higher than their own. The occupation placed highest was “physician” by students, “preacher” by employed group and “farmer” by the CC@’s. All placed “school teacher” third and “professor” fourth. All placed “man of leisure” (inherited wealth) at the bottom—No. 30.

NEXT—Are men or women more inconsistent?

COMMON ERRORS Never say, “My brother Bill, he tells me stories”: omit “he.” | Parents should untie the ‘apron strings gradually. Allow children to have more and more freedom, so they will feel they are having new experiences.—Mrs. Mildred Wood, teacher of human relationships in Phoenix, Ariz., high school.

The banker and the politician are essential to each other in the intricate scheme of our democracy. They should get together now.— Banker James G. Blaine, New York City.

ed on his network programs—the show has been aired nationally a little over two years, and about 10 performers are presented weekly — totalling not more than about 1050 ““amaturs.” WFBM originates, and has for nearly five years, an amateur program called the “Children’s Hour,”

which is broadcast from 10 to 11. _°

o'clock each Saturday morning from the William H. Block Co. Auditorium. = Tomorrow morning the 5000th child will be heard. He—or she—will be selected by a drawing of names, so each participating to= morrow has a chapce to be the 5000th.

A winner is named for each broadcast, and each 18 weeks these winners compete on a special “Children’s Hour” broadcast.

Good Radio Music

THRASHER

taking atonal music with your mid-

day meal, you'll almost have to tune in WFBM ‘at 11 a. m. tomorrow

to hear the broadcast by Paul Hindemith and assisting artists playing

{ his music.

| don

ro talked-about anc played of c¢

For the benefit of any remaining rock-ribbed Romanticists who 't pay any attention to such things, Mr. Hindemith is one of the

ontemporary composers. He also is

a viola virtuoso and member of a noted European quartet. This is his | first visit to America, I believe, and I am certain that tomorrow's broad-

| cast will be his first in this country.

The program will originate in Washington, D. C.,, at the eighth

| Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation. Mr. Hindemith has been brought to the United States by Mrs. Coolidge, one of the world’s most noted patrons of chamber music, who has enticed most of the

this field to our shores at one time or another. The assisting artists will be Frederick’ Jagel, Metropolitan Opera tenor; George Barrere, flutist; Jesus Maria Sanroma, pianist, and the Dessoff Choir, directed by Paul Boepple. Mr. Hindemith will play his Scnata, Op. 25 No. 1, for viola alone. This, incidentally, will be the only item on the program which has been heard in this country before. CBS will carry the broadcast from 10:15 a. m. WFBM is to bring you the final hour, beginning at 11

o'clock.

” ”

There will be another Metropolitan Opera broadcast from Boston tomorrow, again on WLW at 1 p. m. A double bill, though not | the usual one, is scheduled. “Cavalleria Rusticana” will be heard, and with it not “Pagliacci” but “Hansel and Gretel.” Principal singers in the first opera will be Rosa Pon- | selle (by the way, where has she been all this season?), Sidney Rayner, Irra Petina and Carlo Morelli. In the Humperdinck opera we shall hear Irene Jessner, Queena Mario, Dorothee Manski and Karl Riedel. And I wonder if they’ll keep on doing “Hansel and Gretel” after Miss Mario retires—she seems as much a part of the opera as Mr. Ford’s Sunday evening theme song.

Festival of Chamber Music of a

great composers and performers in|

| Leopold Stokowski will conduct, and his offerings include the familiar “Ritual Fire Dance” by de Falla | and Debussy’s “L’Apres midi d'un Faun,” and the not-go-familiar “Gymnopedie” by Erik Satie.

PPROPRIATELY, this evening’s “First Nighter” drama is called “Never Say Die.” It's a new play by Carolyn Clarke, and concerns a young American cov. ple in trouble in China. Besides hearing Don Ameche in the leading role of this play tonight, you may see him at the Apollo this week, if you wish, opposite Ann Sothern in “Fifty Roads to Town.” ‘x | 8 =n . THER Friday program notes— Irene Rich will ‘present Arch Oboler’s “Meet the Champ,” the story of a rich society girl interested only in men who are champion athletes, over NBC-WIRE at 7 o'clock. . . Mr. Oboler’s radio dramas are heard frequently these days, Henry Hull appearing on Rudy Vallee’s show Thursday night in one of his sketches. . . . Miriam Hopkins and Louis Hayward will re-. enact scenes from the film, “The Woman I Love,” for CBS-WFBM'’s “Hollywood Hotel” at 8 o'clock. . . . For the sixth time tonight a university student will sing his or her own song on NBC-WIRE’s “Varsity Parade”; the show visits Vancerbilt University at 9:30 o'clock, featuring Fannye Rose Shore singing’ an unnamed original composition. . . . Rep. Drewry (D. Va.) will oppose President Roosevelt's proposed judiciary changes in a CBS-WFBM falk at 9:30 o'clock.
