he's pretty sure to be snapped up for
q guest spot on the radio while he's in
town.
A potpourri Of stage, movie and radio
talent Is always the rule for the big
time variety bills Of the networks
the Rudy Vallee show, for instance,
which sets the talent pace for kindred
shows in Radio Row. Looking in on
this show up on the eighth floor Of
Radio City the other night, because
the bill Is just about tops from a pro-
duction as well as talent point of
view, your on-looker was reminded
again that radio does indeed plan its
programs for the entertainment of the
folks at home by the loudspeaker.
Crooner Vallee, with his back to the
studio audience. can scarcely be heard
beyond the fifth row out in front of
the semi-circular stage. He concen-
trates his vocalizing on the unseen
audience. And while we're on the
topic of this show-two of the artists
who appeared on the bill that night
appear to be firmly ensconced at the
microphone right now-what with
Edgar Bergen getting a regular con-
tract on the Vallee show for four
more engagements, and Walter
O,Keefe soon due to bow in a new
show Of his own after his recent exit
from the Saturday Night Party"
That Saturday show, meanwhile, Is
stepping out with renewed vigor under
the supervision Of visiting masters Of
ceremonies-and the new plan Of the
sponsor which calls for spending big
money on lavish array Of talent
Two other shows which have re-
Gently stepped out into smarter pace

the air lanes earlier in the season are

both of which are manifesting better
script and production jobs than they
did when they premiered.
But going back to Monsieur Vallee for
q moment. He is the gentleman who
may yet make the hopes of Helen
Kaplan of Roxbury, Mass, come true
after she had given up all hope Of
seeing her name in lights on Broad

dent. The young blond artist is now
in q Boston hospital convalescing
from leg amputation necessitated by
the motor smash-up-and the young
singer and dancer won't know until
she is stronger that Rudy Vallee plans
for her to come to New York to sing

 A definite decision is expected to be made by the British Cabinet which is to meet in a special session next Wednesday.
 Unwarranted attacks by the Jap anese on British shipping is re- sponsible for the action, also failure to secure satisfactory replies from the Japanese Government following such "out1ages."
 Heretofore the British Govern ment has been letting the United States take the initiative in all such matters, and that government has been securing prompt attention while the British have not. It is understood here the American As iatic fleet has already been in- creased.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. IT. Two desperate criminals have es- capped from the escape proof" AL catraz penitentiary in San Fr a n . cisco harbor.
 Police, Federal and city, today searched all shores of the region with heavy patrols, hunting Ralph Roe, 29, Duncan, Oklahoma, ban dit, and Theodore Cole, 23, Stroud, Oklahoma, kidnaper, both long termerS.
 Still listed as among those present" following the half hourly counting of heads, Roe and Cole broke two panes of wired-glaSs window in the machine shop where they were working and escaped into the densest fog of the year.
 Coast Guard, police boats and prison boats immediately punctur- ed the murky darkness with search lights, but found no trace of the fugitives, who reached outside the enclosure, jimmied gate and dis appeared.
 Tower guards could see only a few feet in the fog and saw no trace of the fleeing men. Officials said they expected to find the bodies of the men, feeling they had "only one chance in a thousand" to make the shore of the mainland.

DIMOND POINTS . 10 ORIENT IN AIR BASE BILL
Delegate Cites Sino- Japan CSC Trouble as Reason for
 Alaska Protection

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said today that he would use the Sino- Japanese undeclared war as a new argument in efforts to get two mill lion dollars for an Army airbase in Alaska.
 The Army high command favors the move" he asserted, but the Administrations economy program poses as difficulty"
 An air base near Fairbanks was authorized in 1885 in the Wilcox Act but Dimond thus far has sought in vain. he said, to get the neces- sary money.
 There is no reason to wait longer" the Delegate said. If the Rhine becomes England's frontier then the American defense line is certainly the Pacific, extending from the Panama Canal to Hawaii and thence north to Alaska and the Aleutians."
 He contended that an attack in Ia future war, which, he said, was inevitable, would come from the north because the route from the Orient to the United States is short- CT than by way of Hawaii.
 Alaska now could be taken al- most overnight by a hostile force, ' he said. once there with submar- ines and airplanes it would cost thousands of lives and billions of dollars to dislodge it.'
