Joe taro Watanabe, chief of military educatoin, and Colonel Denzo Mat suo, mistaken for Prime Minister Keisuke Okada, the intended victim of the rebels.
 Some Victims Escaped
 Several others were injured and other intended victims of the as- sassins escaped. A large group of officers were stripped of their rank and dismissed from the army.
 The verdict was announced in an official statement of great length, which explained that the sentences were pronounced yesterday.
 The announcement did not specify the date of the execution, but 1t was expected to be soon. The con- demned men probably will be stood against @ wall and shot.

NJ USE OF RADIO REACHES CLIMAX TOMORROW
Television Offered.

TOMORROW will mark the begin
ming of daily television service in
London, with two systems Of trans
mission on the air regularly and with
television receiving sets already being
marketed by q hslf-dozen different
concerns. All of the program details
are handled by a special television
stan recruited by the British Broad
casting Corp. which undertook to
handle the program end Of visual
broadcasting shortly after a special
parliamentary investigating COM
mittee, early last year, had recon-
mended that television Is now ready
for at least local ervice In the British
capital.
Both the Baird and EMF (Marconi)
systems we're tried out with some sue
cess early in September, during the
annual radio trade show In London.
Even at the present time the Baird
experimenters have q television re-

on-loving public, broadcasrers can
adopt an old weapon Of the politician
and point with pride" to the talent
that radio has fed to Hollywood.
Already the Aim colony has become
the second most important source OF
big network programs, or at least it
will be in that position before snow
time. Broadway, Of course, Is the No.
source of radio talent. Chicago has
been developing year by year and has
stood second.
But now Chicago must prepare to
step down a rung while Hollywood
takes its place just behind New York.
Naturally networks have not been
caught mapping, and are spending a
lot of money to improve their studio
facilities in the movie capital.
Analysis of radio and screen talent
in the sunshine belt shows that radio
is more than doing its part in develop
ing entertainers. In fact, the micro
phone is popularizing so many stars
nowadays that movie scouts are hot
on the trail the minute performer
begins to command q fair number OF
listeners.
BEFORE the end Of Autumn NBC
will have nine programs coming
out of Hollywood. Don Ameche Of
First Nighter fame, has been drafted
for the screen. Bing Crosby and Bob
Burns, both of whom rode to success
via the other, have all the camera
assignments they can handle. Rudy
Vallee owes his occasional screen &C
tivity to a reputation acquired via the
loudSpeaker. Amos n Andy, who
have been in Hollywood for the Sum-
mer, are of course radio stars first
and foremost.
Irene Rich, she of the slenderizing
vogue. got her start on the silver sheet.
Fred Astaire rose gradually through
stage, movie and now radio activity.
His versatility has brought him luci-
Gus movie and radio contracts. Irwin
S. Cobb, the pride of Paducah, pro-
gresSed from reporter to author to
radio star and then movies Now he
has his own program on the air.
Marion Talley gained fame on the
concert and opera stage and now Is
doing a comeback via the airlanes.
Smith Ballew has been before the
public for years as maestro of dance
orchestra.
WITH elaborate new Hollywood stu
W dio plans ready, c. B. S. also has
booked nine programs from its present
Hollywood headquarters. Joe Penner
was far from being a national figure
before he took his nasty man" and
duck to the radio studio. While Nell
son Eddy was in public gaze before
he went network. his air popularity Is
responsible for his movie contracts.
Burns and Allen were just another
act until radio listeners fell in love
with their delirious patter. The Goose
Creek Parson, which recently ac-
quired Nationwide radio circulation,
was popular West Coast program for

National Radio Forum Returns
To Air November 9 for Seventh Yenr

Throughout its Summer of mac
tivity. the forum has been missed by
the thousands Of persons throughout
the country who depended on it each
week for a clear Interpretation of
national and world affairs, presented
IN most instances, by the men who
played leading roles in the events.
The hundreds Of letters inquiring
about the forum, since it went of
the air, are indicative of the i'm.
portant niche it holds in broadcasting
annals. The communications came
from all parts Of the United States,
Canada and even from far on Alaska
and the Virgin Islands.
Copies Of Speeches Asked.
Mail has come from the same places
in the past when forum broadcasts
aroused the interest of various peo-
pie, not only in the United States,
but those beyond its borders. Many
asked for copies of the broadcast
speeches. and these are furnished
when requested.
The interest in the forum. how
ever. probably will reach its zenith
in the new series as result of the
political campaign. There may be
new faces in the Cabinet, at the head
of the Government bureaus and
agencies, and in the Congress. II
that happens, the forum will intro
duce them to the country through the
