Dr. Rockwell, who authors the "Coffee and Dougainuts humorous script heard over CBS mornings from 800 to S:15, does the actual writing after 3 a. m., The other morn. ing he was so sleepy that he got the carbon sheets reversed in his typwriter. The error was not discovered until Q short time before the broad. cast. It was too late to have the script re.typed. And in the pandem0nium that ensued, the top c0py--the only one written cOrrectly-was lost. Consequently, Mark Smith and Helene Dumas, who act the comedy news skit, had to use hand mirrors, held up to the reversed type.lines, in order to read them.

WASHINGTON HILL

|' The Washington Hills continued to show the way in the St Francis Holy Name forty-five tourney and in the weekly matches held last night they handed George O'NeilTs team a 33-3O setback and are now out in front by a margin of twelve games.
 The biggest upset to date in the tourney came last night when Tom IO'Donnelps boys handed Joe Phe- lan's team a 41-22 shellacking. This is one of the largest scores fin the tourney to date and 1t put the Phelanmen twelve games behind the Hills in the standing.
 After winning steadily for the past four weeks Frank Mulcunry and his gang were handed a 33-30 setback by Jimmy Cusick's team. Some nice card playing by "Zock- eye" Mccormick, Washington Hill basketball star. was the cause of Horan's downfall.
 Tommy Horan's boys were handed an unexpected beating by Johnny Phelan's team in another game which ended 33-30. Johnny claims his boys are started now | and instead of going backwards they are going to start climbing in the standing.
 These Buckle Shop Bucklers just can't seem to get going and last night they dropped another match. This week their opponents were Joyce's Earbenders and tile result o 33-3O win for the latter, Mike Goggins and his Rovers continued their dash for fist place and handed F. Shannahan and his boys a 34-29 beating to carry off second high scoring honors for the evening.
 John Bowey and his mates lost an opportunity to gain on John Fitzmaurice's gang in the standing when they dropped a 32-31 decis- ion to Dennihan's team as Fitz- matrices boys were being taken over the hurdles by the city yard team, led by Jerry Shannahan. The city yarders celebrated last night for Lincoln's birthday with a 33- 30 win over the Fitzmaurice men. The standing after last nights

Federal Engineers
 Make Radio Survey
Visit Nangatuck Valley for Data on BrOadcasting
 FaciIities-Type of Programs Desired By Public
By PAUL MAY Democrat COrresDOndent)


 Washington, D. C., Feb 12.- What radio stations, residents of the Waterbury vicinity like to list- en to, and the listener-range of station WATR will be made a mat ter of federal communication commission record within the next few days.
 Commission engineers started last week on survey trip which will carry them within few miles of Waterbury on route 6. Assisted by the travelling radio laboratory contained in the official test car, the engineers will swing through the country from Boston west and south to Scranton, Pa, and then back to Boston, at the rate of about 75 miles per day mapping radio facilities as they go.
 The trip is the first step in the most comprehensive, nationwide survey of radio facilities ever att tempted. The purpose of this trip is three fold: CD to determine the preference of listeners as to radio stations; CD to determine what distant stations are available to or- dinary home receiving sets in each IOCdIllyt NOJ bU CIldEL LHC IiStcHeT range of local stations along the route.
 Day and Night Work
 This data will be gathered by the engineers in two ways. They will spend the daytime hours inter- viewing radio listeners along their route. At night they will park their Laboratory" and spend the hours of active broadcasting in re- cording the intensity of distant sta- tions.
 When the engineers determine by interviews that they are within the range of local station they will begin to take instrumental measurements and by combina- tion of the two will, after they have passed out of the range of the station again, be able to chart roughly the area effectively reach- ed by the station.
 The survey trips now being un- dertaken simultaneously by seven commission test cars in various parts of the country are the first to be made. They will ultimately cover practically every locality in the United States.
