on the networks. He now is the
singing star of the CHS Follies of
the Air, broadcast each Saturday
night, and sings with the Lucas
band as well.
A conductor prominent in broad
casting circles winter before last
and now back on the networks
after a seasons absence is Don
Bestor, whose orchestra is to be
featured on Mutual's Morning
Matinee at 7 tomorrow (WIRE).
Absent from commercial programs
after a highly successful season
with Jack Benny, Mr.. Bestor now
is back in New York after a win
ter of exile in Montreal caused by
union difficulties, and is preparing
to e-establish his reputation as
one of radios ace conductors.
His recent guest appearance with
Comedian Benny brought many
rumors that the familiar play,

shows, with the Bestor orchestra
Joining the troupe next fall in
California. So far, Mr.. Benny's
sponsors have been silent concern

NEARLY every movie STAR
L = even Pin Tin Tin Jr, has a
"stand-in' to substitute during
rehearsals, but Oracle Allen is
the only radio personality to
claim one.
When George Burns rehearses
for the CHS Wednesday night
comedy shows, WFBM at $50 to-
night, it's not with Oracle, but
with Mary Kelly, who for five
years has read Gracie's lines to
George and the microphone.
While Oracle romps at home with
her two children. rehearsals go
on. and if Miss Kelly, who lm1-
tates all of Gracie'S mannerisms,
can get laughs from George, the
lines stay. If she can't. new
script is prepared.
Not until final rehearsal, or
sometimes not until the broad
cast itself, does Oracle see the
script she is to read. The only
thing George can't make Oracle
understand is how Miss Kelly can
sit during rehearsals when she's
"stand-in."

DW Z HfiF0 fFfSS
WASHINGTON, March 3l.-May-
or William McNair of Pittsburgh
stalked angrily out of a House Ways
and Means Committee hearing on
the Administration tax bill today
after Chairman Robert L. Doughton
threatened to have him elected for
charging the committee with "un-
fairness"
The hearing was disrupted when
Mayor McNair's protests against
corporate surplus tax provisions of
the measure became so heated that
he was gaveled to silence by Rep.
Doughton.
IF you can't treat this commit
tee with the same courtesy that it
is trying to show you, I'll call a
policeman MIR. Doughton shouted.
Il am the mayor of a great in
dustrial city and I have the right
to make statement" Mr.. McNair
retorted You and the rest of
these guys can't keep me from
it,"
Mr.. McNair's chief objection to
the bill was that it would prevent
corporations from accumulating
SURPRISES which could be used to
cope with disasters such as the
floods which recently swept his
city.
