WALTER PITKIN argues in the Rotarian that business today is as never before reluctant to intrust heavy executive responsibilities to younger men. He says “in effect, business is growing more and more complex; it is no longer merely making and selling, but management of great social forces, all the way from running chain stores to the larger problems of housing, land, insect and flood control, social welfare, public health and recreation. For all these more important jobs older heads are absolutely necessary. :

day in his life because he has always done exactly what he wanted to do. His output of work is always to me astonishing, and I always supposed he put a vast deal of work into it. ; But he is right—a man who can work at the thing he loves to do is the true man of leisure, the man

whose faculties work at their best !

and who is seldom if ever tired. Man dreams of a social and economic system that will give this blessed

opportunity to everyone. a u 5 3 I REALLY don’t know but I believe since more women than men tend to be somewhat introverted there are fewer women than men who readily praise good work in

others. The introvert may see merit in others more keenly than the extravert, but he is less likely to speak of it. He takes it for granted that the other person knows his own merits. Husbands who say “You know I love you, but what's the use of eternally telling you so?” are of the introvert type. And they often break a woman's heart just by this selfcentered assumption.

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER

One of Chicago's former child prodigies, Miss Rosa Linda is now a grownup young lady with five years of European study anc some EuroCurrently she is back in the United States and will be heard on two broadcasts this week, the first at 8 o'clock tonight on the NBC Blue network. She is to share top billing with Johnnie Johnson, a guitarist and singer, on the “Picadilly Music Hall. Miss Linda was soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra when Her European study was with the venerable Moritz Rosenthal. Igor Stravinsky thought enough of her talents to ask her

“viewed with

‘harmonic structure alone,

for the first time, several critics looked upon the, success of Beethoven’'s music as “a danger to musical art.” “It is believed,” one of them wrote, “that a prodigal use of the most barbaric dissonances and a-noisy use of all the orchestral instruments will make an effect. Alas, the ear is only stabbed; there is no appeal to the heart.” Musical history is full of just such judgments. No really great composer ever escaped his contemporaries’ censure for tipping over the tonal apple cart. ne law of acoustics may be immutable, but the capacity of the human ear to sort out complex harmonic combinations constantly has been developing since music began. The cacophony of yesterday is today’s lullaby. All this is well known, but it is a good thing to remember when we berate modern - composers for their assaults upon our ears. Music never lived or died on the judgment of

(Gang Are to Start on Nation-Wide Tour After Program Tonight: Lou Holtz and Sid Silvers Return to Air

Marge of the 'Myrt and Marge' Show Has

New Son.

Tonight's broadcast by Al Pearce and his gang will be the last from New York for several weeks. The half-hour of informal fun will be at the usual hour of 7 o'clock on CBS-WFBM, after which the entertainers will start packing for a. transcontinental tour. They’ll continue to plug their auto-sponsors’ product on the air, however, with broadcasts from CBS stations throughout the country.

Two ghiest comedians, absent from the ether for some time, wiil return tonight to enliven popular Tuesday attractions. They are Lou Holtz, who will be heard with Ben Bernie at 7 o’clock on WLW, and Sid Silvers, whe will take over Jack —Oakie’s professorial duties on the 60-minute CBS show: over WFBM at 7:30 p. m. Comedian Holtz is just back from a long tour of England and, in spite of what opinions you may have of British humor, promises a lot of new jokes and stories which he picked up in his travels. He's said to have added some English county dialects to his repertoire since his last air appearance. Mr. Silvers claims the doubtful honor of having added the word “stooge” to our working vocabularies, In addition to being America’s No. 1 ex-stooge,- he has gained considerable renown as a comedian in his own right and as a movie and radio script writer. : Besides the Silvers quips you'll hear the youthful and stentorian songstress, Judy Garland, Georgie Stoll’s orchestra from Hollywood, and the usual jam-session by Benny Goodman and his boys from Co-= lumbia’s Manhattan studios. The way the Goodman orchestra is faded in is one of those slick production tricks that win no cheers from the listener. The switchover is made without pause, and in the following: manner: Before the Goodman cue, some of Mr. Qakie’s “students” in Hollywood set up a mild racket of hilarity and applause. In New York there are a half-dozen actors grouped arortmd a microphone awaiting the West Coast cue. On the split second they follow up with a similar display of exuberance, and Benny's band comes in without a break—just like that. There will be no Marge for the next few weeks on the CBS Mon-day-through-Friday | “Myrt and Marge” script show, which comes to you over WFBM at 12:45 p. m. Myrt will carry the hod alone while Marge is in a Brooklyn hospital with a new infant. : \ The real trouble isn't confined to the stage, for Marge went straight to the hospital after last Thursday's broadcast. At present the main difficulty is not how to carry on the broadcasts, but what to name the new arrival. Marge, who is Mis. Gene Kretzinger in private life, already has a 66-year-old boy, and had a name picked out for a new daughter. At last reports she was still stumped on a tag for the second son.

Al Jolson, whose father was a cantor and who contemplated a religious career for himself during his youth, will offer the Hebrew chant of atonement, “Kol Nidrei,” as the top musical spot on his broadcast at 6:3) o’clock tonight on WFBM.,

22 8 Some classic causes of family wrangles are booked for an airing tonight on NBC’s outspoken listen-er-participation program, ‘Husbands and Wives.” Chief squawks will be registered by the male contingent who will cry out against wives who leave their desks so spick and span that nothing can be found, and those who go about the house leaving a shower of hairpins in their wake. Both men and women who have married “social climbers” will be interviewed. They'll tell how they curbed extravagant social ambitions in their spouses. The broadcast is on the Blue network at 6 p. m.

z ” ”

Fred Astaire has two new offerings for his listeners tonight on his 7:30 spot via WIRE. One is a blues-singing chorus called the Rhythm Choir. The other is a new tune, “Nice Goin’s On,” by composer-maestro Johnny Green. ”n ” ” Mrs. Roosevelt, though still classed as a radio “amateur,” is the pride and joy of the sound engineers who handle her broadcasts. Her first two programs went off exactly as timed in rehearsal. On the third she was running a bit ahead of schedule. . : The Prjuien man took 3a chance and put a slip of paper in

-| front of her which read “50 plus.”

The First Lady caught on right ‘away, slowed down and finished right on the second. You may hear her temorrow and each Wednesday at 5:15 p, m. on WLW.
