FROM palette to microphone is
an unusual transition for any
artist, especially for one who in
1929 won a scholarship from the
New York division of the National
of Art. Andre Baruch,
has decided to cast his
lot with radio. He is one of the
additions to the list of an
on the Columbia Broad
casting System-and one of the
youngest members of the an
staff. He was born in
Paris August 20, 1906, was edu-
Gated in the Beaux Arts School
and came to America in 1917,
where he studied piano technique
and art. He enrolled in Pratt
Brooklyn, and in Co
lumbia University. Then, after
having concluded these courses,
he entered the commercial art
field, but found that broadcasting
provided still another lure.

LAW TEST
ON BABY GOLF

The Supreme Court today was
asked to decide whether golf is a
necessary occupation" under the
Virginia blue-law and whether the
law violates the Federal Consti
tuition.
The Broad-Grace Arcade Cor.
poration, operating a miniature
golf course in Richmond, ap-
pealed to the high court for a
writ of review after being held
guilty of violating the law by
operating a course on Sunday.
The owners contend the Sun
day blue law is a violation of
the due process clause Of the
constitution and further that
they are denied equal protection
of the law because the blue law
is applied there to some persons
and firms and not to others.
They pointed that the law had
been held not to apply to soft
drink parlors, gasoline or auto
service stations, and many other
businesses.
The case came up through the
Federal courts, the judge
court ruling that it was up to
the jury to say whether the occu-
patton stands within the scope
of the blue laws.

half an hour, reports of battle

whose identity he professed not
to know and came out second

a subpoena for Bishop James
