The ptizzling question Of whether
baseball scores from WRC are
more important than the market
reports and tine signals Of NAAI
has been settled by the Solomon.
like decision Of Program Director
Ralph Hdmurds OF WRC to have
the scores announced at intervals
throughout the WRC evening pro-
gram.
This, settles a storm that has
been turning things upside down
in the Departments of the Navy
and Agriculture and threatened
Secretaries Wilbur and Jardine
with nervous prostration. Letters
have poured into the Government
officials from irate baseball and
radio fans whose reception Of the
final scores has been very badly
wrecked by the domination Of the
air by NAA every time its broad
cast starts.
Fans have suggested that the
weather reports, market reports
and the signals be suspended alto
gether during the baseball season.
But the decision OF the WRC pro.
gram director has allayed the
storm. The program powers that
be at WCAP have been giving the
baseball scores q ride on the air
several times during the evening
and hereafter viii make this sort
of thing a regular policy as WRC
Is doing.
