Both Of them enthusiastic short
wave fans, with verified reception
reports Of stations in 30-odd coun-
tries, the Paramount players will
turn their dials over q weeks time
In attempts to list 50 or more for.
eign calls.
SO that they may start with the
best equipment possible, Crosby
and Arlea have commissioned Nc
Murdo Silver, young Chicago radio
genius, to make for them sets
duplicating the official short wave
receiver used by Admiral Byrd at
the South Pole.
These sets, formerly made only
for government and professional
radio services, will be delivered to
the screen stars on August 6th,
two days before they start twirling
their dials for the short wave
championship Of the United States
and $1,000.
Crosby already has logged sta
tions in Tndo- China, Brazil, Russia,
Japan, China, Germany, Italy,
England. Africa, Venezuela and
Australia.
Arlen offers a. his prize catch q
station in Vienna and many Of
the distant broadcasters caught In
CroSby'S net.
The radios being built for them
will give them Q world-coverage
in excess Of $4,000 miles, accord
ing to the stars, with q strong
possibility Of hearing Byrd'S weak
signals direct from his base at
the South Pole.
The contest will be staged at
TOluca Lake, near Hollywood,
where both Crosby and Arlen
have homes q block or so apart.

the heat wave that has beleaguered
the Middle West, finally striking
Hollywood and boosting filmdom's s
thermometer to 95 degrees, the
stars are going in for a new fad

weeks Of brilliant moonlight, the
air-minded celebs are flocking to
nearby airports where both private
and rented planes are in demand.
Skylarkers report 20.degree drop
in temperature at a height Of
5000 feet over Hollywood.
Though not so cooling, even In
the upper attitudes, the forest fire
which ragged on Mont Lowe and
nearby slopes, also attracted the
attention Of the night fliers.
Evelyn Venable, Anna May Wong

party at Paramount and flew over
