The Washington times., 1930-07-19

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will
make his first prepared radio ad-
dress over the Columbia Broad
casting network, and by trans
atlantic radio over the British
Broadcasting Corporations net
work, on August 8.
The address will also be heard
by short wave transmission sta
ton W2XE in all parts 'of the
civilized world. In order that
foreign listeners may not be in
Z convenienced Colonel Lindbergh
will talk twice, at p. m. and 10
D. M, Eastern daylight saving
time. The first address will be
heard on the short wave station
W2XE only and will reach Aus
tralia, South Africa, India and
other remote areas as we'll as
Europe.
The second address will go
bver the Columbia chain from key
station WABC but will also be
broadcast by short wave for lis
teners in South America, where
the time is approximately the
same as in North America. In
this way it is believed the entire
world will be able to listen in on
Americas best known young man.
Colonel Lindbergh has never
talked from a radio studio be-
fore, his previous experience with
the microphone having been with
talks at broadcast public func-
tions. He made his first visit to
q broadcasting studio. a few days
ago when he looked over station
WABC at ABS Madison Ave-, New
York, and selected one Of the
smaller studies for his forthcom-
ing talk.
The subject of his address will
be international Aviation" and
it is understood he will elaborate
the recommendations for promot-
ing international air transport
recently made by him at the re-
quest of the League of Nations.
He will talk about Is minutes.
On the Graham MacNainee
broadcast of the Singer-M -Mandell
fight, no complaints. In fact the
NB.C. ace reporter emerged with
a world of credit. If he didn't
reconvey some of the stirring
minute and {. half Of drama
within the ring to the ether
lanes then I don't know who
could do it.
In the middle Of his excite
ment Mac said that Al Singer
had won the light heavyweight
championship. He knows better
and of course that was just a
slip of the tcgue.
The newly-crowned lightweight
champion, crazy with joy, could
hardly express himself over the
rnicrophone. All in. all 1t was
the most crowded five minutes
I have ever heard come through
the loud speaker.
Burke Boyce. N.B.C. continuity
editor. recalls this one from the
dim, dark days when broadcast
dng continuity wasn't as free Of
serrors as it might have been. A
continuity writer was called upon
to write a stirring bit of poetry
dealing with war and its asso-
4ciated noises for a program spon-
sSored by a tooth paste manufac-
sturer.
Through a typographical error
IA line that should have read
! s'Hark, to the sound of the guns"
sreally appeared "Hark, to the
sound of the gums"
