will include a brief resume of the
city's historical background, it's
Importance as a modern CONNER
cial center. Officials of Texaco,
the sponsoring company, the
Chamber of Commerce and other
civic examinations, have called
attention of listeners to the spe-
cial program.
At GAS Thursday night Kate
Smith will have headlined five
programs in as many nights. To-
night, tomorrow and Thursday
night at $50, CHS (WFBM), she
is to broadcast her regular IS
minute programs. Last night she
was featured with the Gypsies on
NBC, and Sunday night she was
mistress of ceremonies for the
CHS new all-star broadcast.
Among listeners to whom we
have talked, there are few who
have praise for Hates new Sun
day night program, and many re-
ported turning the dial after lis
tening a few minutes, to other
features, usually to Major Bowes.
A hodge-podge of fine talent, the
program lacked the pep and
punch to which listeners have be-
come accustomed. Mechanical
difficulties at WFBM took the local
CHS station off the air for -
minutes during the broadcast, ill
ness kept Dick Powell from the
microphone.
Public reaction probably will
determine for CHS the frequency
of the all-star broadcast. The
original announcement called for
one program each month.
MAJ. BOWES wound up his
AVA first year for NBC Sunday
night, with a program directed to
Raleigh, N. G. During the II
months, an average of 600 per-
formers were auditioned each
week-a total of more than 10000
during the year-and 800 faced
his microphone, an average of 16
to each broadcast.
The major claims that 300, or
40 per cent, of his amateurs have
benefited directly from their ap-
pearances by joining one of the Is
vaudeville units which now are
playing night stands, split weeks
and week-long runs. Audiences
in 46 states have seen and heard
the amateurs.

INDEPENDENT BARRIERS
FIGHT NEW ORDINANCE
Suit Filed to Enjoin City From En-
forcing Regulation.

A suit is on file today in Superior
Court which seeks to enjoin the

regulating barber shops.
The action, brought by Martin
Roach, barber, on behalf of q
group of independent BARRIERS. al
leges that the ordinance as amend
ed is discriminatory and attacks it
on the ground that it provides a Sec
ond license fee, in addition to a
state-collected fee, to operate a
barber shop.
The ordinance, which has the
support Of journeymen BARRIERS. was
amended at recent council meet
ing to exempt beauty shops.
