Johnny Johnson, maestro at NBC's Sunday Noon Opportunity Matinees" which endeavors to un- earth new talent, has bad news for embryonic and amateur song writers. Only once in the history of Tin Pan Alley has a song sub mittcd by tyro through the mails turned out to be a success. The lucky chap was Ed Claypoole, and his song, "Raggin' The Scales" sold over 100000 copies. Since then, and before too, no other ann ateur has sold successful song through the mails. Song publish CTS no longer bother opening mail from amateurs and send them back unopened in order to prevent any lawsuits from amateurs, and consequently Johnson advises ann ateurs to keep their manuscripts and save their postage.

Radio Is mucA too kind to bad singers, says Deems Taylor, whose all-round musical knowledge is be- ing devoted this season to Sigmund Romberg's program, starting Tues day, September 10, at 10:00 D. m. (EDST) over the WEAF- NEG net work.
 It's astonishing how many of the singers popular over the air are really incompetent as vocalists, ac- cording to Deems, wno for obvious reasons is mentioning no names. They are not only untrained, he averts, but they are incapable Of following training designed to turn out acceptable concert or opera tic soloists. They wouldn't even be any good on the stage without a microphone and employing ap- Dapatus.

John Began, a member of the sSpartanS club, gave talk at the club meeting last night on automo- bile accidents. The speaker stressed tthe urgency of the problem at the
 present time giving figures on the number of killed and wounded on sour highways and urged greater scare in driving on behalf of the
 youth of Waterbury.
 He gave a comparison ef insur-
 ance rates, showing the rates in
 Waterbury to be much in excess of
 that in other cities. He expressed .the hope that more careful driving
 in and around Waterbury would re- }duce the number of accidents and
 also the annual premiums which
 automobile owners have to pay for insurance rates. Francis Brick, president of the club, introduced the speaker.
