"Graham

Speaking"

But Miller explained that those
naval officers, when he first tried them
out, were so good he was afraid you
listeners would think he'd faxed and
dragged in a bunch of singers from
the studios. The addition Of George
cured that.
Hicks and Wellington really won their
spurs as a team when the President re-
viewed the feet of the Virginia Capes
last May, with George telling about 1T
from the dirigible Los Angeles and
Jimmy from the cruiser Salt Lake City.
They've covered welcomes and flying
jobs, and their last previous assignment
took them into 100 feet Of water in q
submarine escape training tank.
All three are a bit bored right now.
They are looking for new thrills to
conquer, and haven't thought Of any
yet.
7 DON'T know why 1t Is, but taxicab
= drivers always seem to fall for Vir-
GINA Gardner. When she gets In a
cab the driver within five minutes Is
usually telling her his LIES history, and
one even asked her to help him con-
vince his wife he ought to be allowed to
smoke in the house.
The latest one Is called Scotty. Vir-
GINA never gets around to starting for
the studios the night of a broadcast
until so late that she always has to take
cab to make 1t on time, although she
really could walk 1t easily.
Scotty knows when she'll come dash
ing out of her apartment house-to the
minute. He's always there waiting to
be hired, and later in the evening when
she comes out Of the restaurant where
she takes her post-mike snack she finds
him waiting at the curb to take her
home.
The driver usually manages to find a
beanery with loud-Speaker, where he
listens to her on the air, and on the
way home he tells her where she did
well and what wasn't so good, Virginia
says he's good critic, because he agrees
with everything she thinks herself.
She Is not, In spite Of all kinds of
rumors, engaged. She's a mighty good
looking girl, even If she does wrinkle
her nose like puppy when she smiles,
and quite @ number of men who are
tall enough not to look stumpy when
they walk beside her can't do anything
put moon every time she comes near
them.

VOTERS SERVICE PLANS
FOURTH RADIO SEASON
Presenting All Sides of Public Is
sues Object of Programs on
N. B. C. Network.

The Voters Service, presenting q Sc
rieS Of programs which deal with cur
rent problems of government, will in
augurate it's fourth season over q
National Broadcasting Co. network
January 6 from z to 1870 pm.
The Voters Service presents men and
women who are conducting the Ma
TONS affairs, experts on matters dis
cussed, and the journalists who OBJ
serve and record political happenings.
Its aim is to present all sides of issues,
but to promote none.
During the coming season emphasis
Is to be placed upon current problems,
and the attempt will be to show what
the average citizen, as voter, can do
about them. The subjects have been
chosen for their timeliness, intrinsic
Importance and appeal to persons in
terested in the economic and political
problems of the day.
Senator Arthur H Vandenberg of
Michigan and Senator Robert j. Buckley
of Ohio will launch the opening pro-
gram January 6. THE Voters Personal
stake in Government" is the topic of
this broadcast. Senator Buckley will
discuss the Government at home, while
Senator Vandenberg will talk about the
stake in government abroad.

Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

business is based on such neb-
ulouS factors as listener prefer
ences and uncounted audience,
has found a definite economic
niche.
In other words, Senator G. C.
Dill appears to be right in his
declaration that radio by the
American plan," which means
radio programs furnished to the
American audience by private
enterprises and without tax on
receiving sets such as most other
countries impose, is a success.
Certainly it appears to be bust
ness success, for the United States
Chamber of Commerce currently
reports that expenditures for
radio advertising during the first
eight months of 1880 were 80 per
cent over such expenditures in the
same months of 1929.
Else why should % leading
broadcasting stations be willing,
indeed eager, to make capital in
veStmentS of $250,000 or more
each in new high-powered trans
hitting equipment, as IA other
stations have already done or
have been authorized to do?
Among the applications for the
SO, 000-watt maximum allowable
power now pleading their cases
before the Federal Radio Commits
sion, one counts nine stations
either owned or controlled by
newspapers, some Of whose pub
lie y hAaY1 hA
piciouS of radios apparent en-
croachment on their sources of
revenue.
HOW'S this for luck? Mrs. Free
man F. Gosden and Mrs.
Charles J. Correll, the wives of
amos n Andy" draw weekly
salaries for doing what millions
Of radio listeners do every night
for nothing.
Although it has been repeatedly
asserted that amos N Andy"
whose private life names are
Freeman F. Gosden and Charles
]. Correll, do every bit of work in
connection with their broadcasts,
the two performers themselves
now come to the front with the
announcement that this is not
absolutely accurate. It is true
that they write every line of
their dialogue and take all the
parts themselves, but many Of the
suggestions and ideas which are
incorporated in the series come
from the fertile brains of their
two charming helpmates.
So valuable has been the assist
ance of Mrs. Correll and Mrs.
Gosden in the past, that now the
wives of amos m Andy" draw a
regular salary paid to them
weekly by their famous husbands,
which they earn by the easy task
of listening to every broadcast,
and commenting and criticising
the efforts of the two radio artists.
amos "a Andy" admit that part,
at least, of the generous public
applause which they win each
night in their broadcaSts should
go to their wives.
Although they could probably
get the assistance of their wives
for nothing, Correll and Gosden
say that the idea of paying actual
salaries has been nothing short
Of an inspiration. "It makes them
take their job seriously" said
GoSden, "and if it were a purely
business arrangement we could
never pay them enough for the
helm thew have given lis"

ITHE great American radio
public has developed into a
vast army of program
\ critics. Millions of letters
are received every year by the
two networks from listeners who
more and more determine the
type and quality of programs to
be broadcast.
Not so many years ago the
broadcasting stations received
floods of communications from
the radio listeners. The usual
comment was Your program
came in fine"
Long since, however, the listener
has ceased to find satisfaction in
merely hearing sounds picked
from the air. The dial twister
has developed definite tastes in
the selection of the entertain
ment he wants served in his
home. He either likes or dislikes
a program and has formed good
reasons for it. He writes the
broadcaSters his approval or dis
approval, and indicates in no
uncertain terms what satisfies
him and what doesn't.
Fan mail has increased nearly
100 per cent during 1880. A sur
vey reveals that there has devel-
oped a strong demand for the
better type of music, special
events and drama, particularly of
the serial type. Jazz, in general,
either is losing favor or the Jazz
fans do not write to the broad
casters. The listeners seem in
clined to divide popular dance
music into two clasSeS-jaZz and
symphonic jazz"
Request mail constitutes a large
percentage of the communica-
lions. And as strange as it may
seem, a major part of the letters
are from small towns.

UDOLF SCHRAMM and men,
bers Of his concert ensemble
were discussing how to play the
Christmas selection. Good King
WenceSlaS" the other night just
before broadcasting over WRC.
The ensemble had rehearSed the
piece once with a good deal of
spirit, and one member objected.
THAT number should be played
soft and SLOW" he said, demon
strating with gesture. the tempo
and tone he thought should be
adopted "I know" he declared,
because I played it one time in
church"
Schramm was patient. Maybe
you're right" he said. But you're
before a microphone now. And
besides Good King Wenceslas was
supposed to be jovial. Let's CO."
The ensemble played it fast
and snappy. 1t was a hit.
RELATIVELY few complaints
from broadcasting stations
and none from the chains-have
been heard during the business
depression. The reason is simply
that the broadcasting business
has been good-better in this
tenth year of American broad
casting than ever before in radio
history.
Recent hearings before the Fed
eral Radio Commission, at which
financial statements of individual
stations were read into the record,
the prevailing optimism among
station owners and managers and
the various deals being proposed
and conSummated in radio bear
out the conviction that the pro-
gram side of radio, though its
