X IN THE SPOTL|GH hit X
By David O. Able,

Time was when radio announ-
GERS were dignifed nobodies who
did nothing but mind their p's
and q's. But times have changed
and today an announcer like Ben
Grauer is a personality in his own
right, complete to fans, fan mail,
and fan requests. Although he
still does straight announcing,
Grauer cuts up occasionally on
programs; he is a newscaster on
"Drama Behind the News" pro-
gram, and something of every
thing on those heart-touching pro-
grams in which British child
evacuees talk via short-wave to
their parents in London. The re-
suit of all these activities is that
Grauer has finally had to order
a stack of fan photos to fill listen
ers' requests.

KNOW The LAWS OF PHYSICS

KNOW The Avs OF PHYSICS
A thorough knowledge of the laws
of physics comes ahead Of actual
skill in handling a car.
How many drivers realize as they
turn a corner that two tons of weight
want to keep on going in a straight
line? Here are a few Of the important
things to remember about the laws
of physics:
At rs miles an hour a car has
developed enough energy to roll over
once. At so it has developed not
twice but four times the energy
enough to roll over four times. At rs,
it has developed not three times but
nine times the energy-enough to
roll over nine times.
At 25 miles an hour you can make
a fairly sharp turn; at so only one
fourth as sharp; at rs your turn can
be only one-ninth as sharp as when
you were going rs.
1t requires 80 feet to brake a car
going2 20 miles an hour, and four times
that, or 100 feet, to brake it at 40.

Open Offensive
Foes of President Rooseyelt's
lease-lend bill for British aid opened
their counter-offensive today call
ing Joseph p. Kennedy to "refute"
what they described as the "hys-
terra" surrounding the legislation.
Rep. Fish (R-NY), ranking minor
ity member of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee who is marshal
ing the opposition, said that the ar,
guments presented in behalf OF the
measure last week by high Admin
istration officials we're both silly
and absurd" -
He predicted that Kennedy, who
has resigned as ambassador TO
Great Britain. Cols Charles A. Lind
berg, General Hugh S. Johnson and
the other witnesses he has asked
TO appear before the committee
would definitely answer the abb
surd charges by the Administration
that we are in immediate danger of
attack and that this has something
to do with crisis in England in 50
TO 30 days"
Kennedy and Johnson have regis
tered their objections to the bill On
several counts and Lindbergh not
long ago kicked UP a heated con-
troversy with two radio addresses
which took the Administration
sharply to task for its general hand
ling of foreign affairs.
Fish, who also has invited Nor
man Thomas, the Socialist leader.
and Hanford MacNider. former as
sistant secretary OF war TO testify,
told reporters that his purpose in
summoning such witnesses was TO
| "counteract" statements made at
committee hearings by several cab
met officers last week All tie IL
mony last week was urgently in ia
yor Of the lease-lend measure.
As the counter-offensive got I'm
der way. Fish expressed confidence
that the final draft of the bill would
''at least" impose a two-year limit
on the broad lease-lend authority
sought for President Roosevelt.
He announced that he would make
fight for provision putting q
s2,000.000,000 ceiling" on the
amount that could be spent on aid
10 Britain.
Furthermore, he said, he would
seek to include ban against Civ
ing away the navy" or using L. S.
conveys for war zone shipping.
The high government officials
who testified at committee hearings
last week were Secretaries Hull
Morgenthau, Stimson and Knox, and
William S. Knudsen, director-gen-
eral Of defense production.
