Not until after he discontinues
his NBC-WJZ Friday night broad
casts with James Melton, WLW at
7.30, will CHS be allowed to iden-
tify Red Nichols as one of its fea-
tured orchestras. When the Mel
ton program deserts the air after
April II, CHS, which has used
Nichols band anonymously on the
Saturday Atlantic Family program,
may then tell listeners they are
hearing the Nichols band and the
directors trumpet playing. It's been
a case of carrying water on both
shoulders for the director, but the
enterprise was legitimate because
'NBC has exclusive rights only to
the Nichols name, and not to his
playing.
EDDIE CANTOR has been as
Z sailed right and left for his
peace contest which attracted 220,-
600 entries from high school stu
dents on the grounds he is seeking
publicity. 1t makes not the least
difference to Eddie what the critics
say, and he explains why he hopes
to get practical suggestions for pro-
motion of world peace with the
following story:
"On one of my radio programs, y
he says, I'VE wanted the sound of
pouring sand into glass. None
Of the engineers suggestions pro-
duced the right effects.
Then a page boy suggested Why
don't you try pouring water into a
elass2' We tried that and it was
right. The suggestion came from
boy"
