They Hate Love Songs
songwriters hate love SONGS. That
sounds like heresy in a profession in
which love songs butter the bread
and put the cream on the cereal.
But, according to Al stillnan, who
has pounded out his share of Them,
the words that express the senti-
nnents of love have become 50 bat
tered through overuse as to become
almost meaningless to the profess
sional melody man. Such words, for
example, as sweet charm, 7

room and wished for something
other than the bed; a chair OF
the floor to put it on during the
process?
A camp stool plus a tray to fit
the top makes a very satisfactory
small table to place beside a
game table or to set up for your
books or mending basket by your
favorite chair. But be sure to
dress it up so that it will look its
best either when in use or when
folded up and placed in some
out of the way corner. A rem
nant of material and some up
holstery braid will do the trick.
Stain and wax are suggested for
the base as paint might be marred
in folding the stool.

The wide panic following the IA
nous Orson Welles MARS" broad
cast was an error of listening. Had
the alarmists listened Is minutes or
more they would have heard the
announcement that Welles was
broadcasting a dramatization, not
live hot news.
Schechter's wariness over tragedy
reports dates back to the time a
newscaster FLASHED" an announce
ment from Hanover, N. H., saying
nine Dartmouth college students had
been killed by carbon monoxide gas
in a fraternity house. This was
certainly news. MICS telephones
handled hundreds of calls from dis
tressed parents who wanted to know
names. But none were available,
and with $500 students enrolled at
Dartmouth there was a lot of re-
assuring to do.
Guided by Experience.
That's the "reminiscences part of
radio policy, and it's why broad
casters may withhold important
news for hours while details are
awaited. Experience, not mere the
DRY, dictates procedure.

Radio, Weary Of Public's Complaints,
Hires John Q. and Makes Him Censor
SAY IT.
BY GORDON GREENWOOD

released by Western Newspaper Union.)
NEW YORK.-The tickle"
1 y public, which everybody
tries so hard to understand,
positively knows what it wants
on the radio.
If there was some doubt on
this point 20 years ago, in
broadcasting's infancy, the fog
is now completely dispelled.
Not only do listeners register
their reactions and complaints
Immediately, but they take the
most direct approach-and talk
straight from the shoulder.
A radio networks telephone
switchboard works like
sounding board of public opinion,
bouncing back the public reaction
even before the program in question
is off the air.
Words spoken in absolute inno-
cence may precipitate minor chaos.
For instance, a newscaster once told
his listeners a certain situation was
"like having the gas turned off on
Thanksgiving day with your house
full of guests" Within a few min
utes irate telephones were calling
the National Broadcasting company
to know why their gas would be
turned off! Ut ,Uas near Thanks
giving.)
Censor Rule Enforced.
After analyzing letters and pro-
tests from over the country, NBC
has established a "you-can't-broad-
cast-that" rule for what appears to
be Islander, unverified reports, in
vasion Of privacy and vulgarity. The
entire radio industry generally fol-
lows the same rule.
Thus radio officials believe they
have avoided censorship, not in
voked it. As between strict govern
ment censorship and voluntary con-
troll from within, the industry much
prefers the latter.
Behind every policy hangs a sto-
ry. One day A. A. Schechter, MICS
special events director, received
flash" that passenger plane fly
ing the Atlantic had not been heard
from for several hours.
Don't broadcast that" he told
the news editor. His wisdom of SELF
restraint was clear 30 minutes later
when a second bulletin announced
that all was well aboard the plane.
Try to Avoid Confusion.
Suppose the first bulletin had been
broadcast. The sudden and en-
phatic reaction would have been sor-
row for some people. The second
bulletin would have confused the
situation, in addition to causing
doubt about the veracity of broad
cast reports. Nor was there as
surance that everyone who heard

Ultraviolet Meat Storage

Longer storage of meat and other
food without spelling or changes of
color is made possible by the use of
ultraviolet radiation combined with
other more usual food preservation
practices, Professor Arthur W. Ewell
of the Worcester Polytechnic insti-
tute told the American Society of Re
frigerating Engineers at a recent
meeting, according to Science Serv-
ice. The germ-killing effect of the
radiation, now being set to work for
bacterial purposes in a dozen diff
ferent fields ranging from steriliz-
ing the air in hospital operating
rooms to the packing industry, can
be attributed to its power Of form
ing ozone from the oxygen in tn
air. Professor Ewell declared.

ure, they arranged protection
against any possible threat from
France.
Swiss army organization is at once
the worlds most unique and most
efficient. Voluntary frontier troops,
organized in independent companies
and highly mobile with their horses,
bicycles and trucks, are assigned
to ward off surprise attacks until
regular army units can reach their
positions.
At the moment of invasion, every
man belongs to the army. Young
sters climb into alpine positions and
oldsters take easier jobs in keep
ing with their individual capabili-
ties.
Men Fully Equipped.
Mobilization is lightning fast. Only
in democracy like this can every
soldier keep his complete outfit at
home, ammunition excepted. Cav
alrymen have their horses and cy-
clists their bicycles. Equipment is
checked periodically under a severe
control system.
When mobilization is called, it can
thus be made an actually within
a few days, or even a few hours if
necessary. Light brigades," which
consist of cavalry, cyclists, light ar
tillery on trucks and machine guns
on motors, form the vanguard of
the army and may be thrown into a

Swiss Watch Ramparts Again,
Ready to Ward Off Attacks
Against l42-Year Neutrality

DERNE.-Little Switzerland,
- whose neutrality has been
preserved and respected 124
years in the face of repeated
warfare on all its frontiers, is
once more watching its ram
parts.
On every frontier well-armed
troops stand guard to ward off
belligerent planes or stop sud-
den attack.
Though aged and peaceful,
Switzerland is not missing
any bets. Her defenses are up-to-
the-minute, giving protection against
any modern weapon foeman may
send against her. Typical is the
fortress system surrounding her en-
tire frontier, the novel automatic
tank barriers which shoot out from
Swiss highways at the press of a
button, and her keen-eyed anti-air-
craft battalions which are rated
among the worlds best.
New Border Threats.
Time was when Switzerland wor-
ried only about her northern and
southern frontiers, bordering on
Germany and Switzerland. But the
Nazi juggernaut captured Austria,
SO the resourceful Swiss fortified on
the east. Then, just for good meas

An analysis of protests show the
Midwest shows stronger distaste for
off-color humor and anti-religious
dogmas than any other part of the
country. The South demands high
regard for womanhood and male
chivalry. The Northwest sounds the
praises of rugged individualism.
North central states ask progress
sive social outlook and New York
city examines everything with the
mind of an Old world critic.
Radio men are convinced we re-
ceive different sensations from read
ing and listening. You may, for in
stance, read war atrocity stories
without feeling bitter about them,
but when you hear a word-of-mouth
description backed by the emotional
stimulus Of the human voice, you
may become exercised, even moved
to positive action.
A, three-hour time-zone difference
between east and west coasts al
ways finds somebody sitting down to
a meal, and, generally speaking,
people are pretty sensitive about
what they hear at mealtimes.
So it's the listeners, not the gov
eminent or the broadcasters, who
lay down radios program policies.

defense post at moments notice.
One thing worries the Swiss-their
electrified railroads, which could be
decommissioned in a few hours with
well-placed bombs. Hence the
army's infantry units and their ar
senals are widely decentralized to
be within reach of majority of
men within few hours.
Generals Are Scarce.
Only three times in its histCry
has Switzerland had military com
mander-in-chief. Under its consti-
tuition a supreme commander with
powers over military and civil re-
sources can be appointed only in
times of general mobilization, and
then only by election. Such a COM
mander was General Dufour, who
was commander-in-chief during the
interior war in 1847; General Her.
zog, in power during the Franco
German war of 1870, and General
Willie, commander from 1914 to 1918.
There have been no others.
Between such emergencies the
head of the Swiss military depart
ment is head of the army. He pie
sides over the tongue-twisting Lam
Observation-Disclosures, or the
board of national defense.
The Swiss are proud of their de-
tense works. On the south they
need worry chiefly about st. Gott-
hard and the Simplon passes. The
former is protected by fortresses
which have always been kept up to
date, cut into solid granite rocks.
The Simplon entrance is through
tunnel which can easily be made
impossible, and the road is guarded
by fort in the Gorge Of Condo.
