Three NBC programs will originate in Indianapolis, probably through facilities of WIRE, Friday, Aug. 20, in connection with the Young Democratic Clubs of America national convention here. The first broadcast, av 11 a. m., will carry the convention's keynote address by James Roosevelt, the President's oldest son and membor of the White House secretariat, Mrs. Roosevelt's convention address will be carried by the Red network at noon Friday, Aug. 20, and Post-

Screenland glamour got the best of Al Pearce when he arrived in Hollywood, where he will originate his CBS-WFBM at 7 o'clock tonight, and he booked the exotic Gertrude Niesen (above) for the broadcast. Miss Niesen is no stranger to the microphone, though the movies keep her busy most of the time now, for it was by radio that she attracted
the Hollywood casting directors. and her newest film is “Riviera.”
She was seen in “Top of the Town,”
Keeping up=or even ahead-—of Hollywood, Al Insists his show tonight will be “garganttian, colossal and super-adequate.”

Maestro Benny Goodman's Society for the Suppression of Swing, originated as a joke to give his Tuesday evening comedians something to talk about, is bearing fruit —profitable fruit, perhaps—for the No. 1 swing exponent. Arthur Cremin, New York School of Music dean, blasted swing music, and particularly Mr. Goodman's va« riety of swing, with the following statement: “Swing music is the greatest libel upon modern civilization that has ever been perpetrated, “It is atavistic and finds its beginnings in the dark Jungle of the early savage. Music has three outstanding qualities — melody, harmony and rhythm. Swing uses only one of these—rhythm-— and oftimes distorts this beyond the point of recognition, “Perhaps the foremost progenitor of swing music is Benny Goodman. An organization has been started on the Coast, I am told, called the Society for the Suppression of Swing. “All true music lovers should belong to such an enterprise. For swing threatens to poison the minds of the growing generation, and adulterate any appreciation they might have of the great music of the classics. :
“This is not an indictment of Jazz, which is music written to suit the popular fancy. Swing is not jazz. It is a horrible cari-

Good Radio Music
By JAMES THRASHER
If the elements be kind to short waves, you may hear 40 minutes of Mozart's “Marriage of Figaro” at 12:05 p. m. tomorrow. The broadcast will originate in Salzburg, Austria, which yearly honors its most famous native son with the Mozart Festival. Bruno Walter is to conduct tomorrow's opera, and Lotte Lehmann,
Metropolitan Opera favorite, NBC Red network will bring you the international program. » " " The second in a new series of violin and piano sonata broadcasts may be heard on CBS at 1:45 p. m. tomorrow, with Nicolai Berezowsky, violinist, and Emanuel Bay, pianist, as performers. The Richard Strauss Sonata in E Flat, a familiar example of “early Strauss” is to be heard. Doubtless you have heard of Mr. Berezowsky as a composer as well as artist, if you follow contemporary music via radio. And Mr. Bay is Jascha Heifetz’ accompanist as well as a member of radio's most famous “brother act” in the goodmusic field. His brother, Victor, is a well-known CBS conductor. Incidentally, Messrs. Heifetz and Bay have recorded two Mozart sonatas for Victor this summer which should be in everyone's record collection. Their performance is a nearly perfect projection of two of Mozart's loveliest sonatas. ” n ” Another summer-school choir will be heard on CBS tomorrow from St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University. Charles Henry Doersam will conduct the 32 singers, with Paul Zuydelioek as organist. The pro gram will be from the works of 17th Century England's remarkable genius, Henry Purcell, and will include a “Te Deum Laudamus” and a “Jubilate.” :
JS senna | among the principal singers. The
No matter how warm it may get,
Philip Manuel and Gavin Willilamson, harpsichordists, are unable to appreciate air-conditioning. To them it's just a lot of added work. For the harpsichord ensemble programs tonight and each Tuesday at 8:30 o'clock, two concert harpsichords must be moved from the Manuel and Williamson studios to NBC's Chicago studios. After that they must be tunéd. That’s where the air conditioning comes in. : The mild currents of cool air blow over the strings and set up false vibrations. So the only way the tuning can go ahead is to have both tuners and instruments covered with heavy felt pads.
Radio Station Heads to Meet
Fourteen representatives of Indiana’s 18 radio stations are to be present at a meeting of broadcasting managers here tomorrow. General policies and proceedings of the recent National Association of Broadcasters’ convention are to be discussed. Glenmr Van Auken, whose station WKVA is to begin operations in Indianapolis soon, will be among the local representatives. Delegates from WFBM and WIRE also will be
steps to organize a unit of the: Society for the Suppression of Swing at the New York School" of Music. We appeal to aliae/éw Yorkers whe are anxious to preserve really worthwhile music to -° Join us in this fight against Benny Goodman and others of his kind.” Let local antiswingers who want to organize an Indianapolis chapter of this unusual society have no fear they will hurt Maestro Goodman's feelings—or his reputation. An able
| musician as well as an astute busi+
nessman, he gained national radio fame chiefly on the swing fad, and he very likely will turn to somes< thing else when the time is ripe. Goodman’s band is one of radio’s busiest, playing the weekly CBS commercial program, making phonograph records and playing for films. Then there are nightly dance cngagements which last until 2 or 3 a. m, In the show business—and radio is part of the show business—nothing pleases more than attention. Serious antiswing movements are good evidence that Goodman's band “has made the grade.” n » on While Goodman garners fame for his swing, there's no maestro who tries harder than Johnny Green to present something new each week. Green has previewed music from two important forthcoming films, scooping “Hollywood Hotel” with its film previews, and each Tuesday evening finds him with a new, though unimportant, program idea. Tonight, over NBC-WIRE, Green will present his several vocalists . in songs that started each of them to success. Jane Rhodes, one of NBC's youngest vocalists, will offer “Sing, You Sinners,” which she first sang on radio when she was only 7. Then Trudy wood will offer “This Little Piggy Went to Market,” which she sang while a high school student for her radio debut, and Jimmy Blair will be heard with “Easy to Love,” the song which won him a place on Fred Allen's program last year. o Since this is largely about popular music conductors today, 1 might as well include Ben Bernie's three claims to fame. They're all important in modern broadcasting, particularly his innovation a few years ago of paying guest stars! Yes, if the Old Maestro’s not spoofing us, he was the first to hire assisting artists and give them money for working in his show. Until then, guest performers worked for publicity and the thrill of being heard through a microphone and loud speaker. Then Bernie was first, he claims, to josh his sponsor and his sponsor's product. I always thought that honor went to Jack Benny, but perhaps not. Or perhaps Bernie is joshing this department, and it was Benny. I don’t know.
His third claim to raaio fame— and fortune—is that he inaugurated the policy of dramatizing commer« cial announcements. There may be listeners who will think Bernie should be drawn and quartered for: giving us that radio innovation, sc overdone is it now, but he says listeners praised the idea from the first, and that they prefer the dramatizations to speeches. The Old Maestro really is the. old maestro—he’'s been on radie since its infancy. And he will be back tonight—WLW at 7 o'clock— with Conrad Thibault as guest director. His show next week wil originate at the Saratoga race track and one of the program guests will be Clem McCarthy, who like Bernie

will be at Saratoga to watch the horses. :
