fact. especially in order, WRC being
the first station in Washington that
can claim 20 years of continuous
function.
With its initial program on the
evening of August l, 1923, WRC in
augurated the first of a long series
OF "flrSts,' programs which pos
slbly prompted the station to adopt
as its slogan and battle-cry First

States Marine Band, which since
has become a regular feature on the
/ air. Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Franklin Roosevelt appeared
on the program that night, and
David Sarnoff, who has made the
upper reaches of another field in the
long interim.
At that time the participants in
the program (and those who partici-
pated in others during the ensuing
10 or II years. had to journey to

When Actress Judith Evelyn

plea for nurse recruitment fol-
lowing the play on That They

speaking from the heart. For Miss
Evelyn, heard in the play as Red
Cross nurses aide, owes much to
Red Cross aid at the most crucial
moment in her life
A survivor of the Athena tor
pedoing in 1899, she was in lifeboat
six hours after being af1oat in the
cold waters of the Atlantic several
hours before. She arrived in Glasgow
wearing borrowed sailor suit, her
IA trunks at the bottom of the sea.
Within few hours funds from the
American Red Cross had re-
equipped her for another sailing.
When Miss Evelyn arrived in
Montreal she made movie short
for the Red Gross and toured Can
ada in speaking engagements for
the same cause. She has never
gotten over being grateful to the
Red Cross and is active in its cause
whenever the opportunity presents
itself.
For the last two years she has
been starred in Angel Street" /"
making guest appearances on radio
dramas. She has running role in
the serial, "Helpmates."

TAKEN BY DEATH

WASHINGTON, Dec 10 R -
Marvin Mcintyre. slight but firm
buffer for President Roosevelt
throughout his years in the White
House, died today after a long ill
ness.
Death of the white-thatched 65-
year-old secretary meant the loss
said the President in a message
to the White House. of "a public
servant whose whole career en-
phaslzed fidelity and integrity"

tary to the chief executive, was
known throughout the country for
his modifying no. 1t was his
job to sift the Presidents calls
and callers, to turn aside but not
rebuff those VINO wished to see
the President, to be the fall guy
for the chief.
Informed of the death as he was
en- route home from conferences
in Cairo and Teheran, President
Roosevelt messaged the White
House:
Another faithful servant is lost
to the public service in the death
of Marvin Mcintyre Despite the
handicap OF frail health in recent
years which would have defeated
a less gallant spirit he could not
be persuaded by any consideration
of self interest to relax his devo.
ton to the heavy ard important
duties and responsibilities which
fell to MIN to discharge"
Mcintyre had beer associated
with President Roosevelt for more
than 20 years, serving as his pub
icity representative during t h {
vice presidential campaign of 1920
Prior to that he was a neWspa.
perman in Louisville, KY, Ashe'

During the First world war he
was special assistant to the sec.
rotary of the Navy on public re-
lations matters. After tn e 1926
campaign he did public relations
work here until he became bust
ness manager and publicity rep

Report May Be Combined
With Annual MESSAGE
Next Year

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-- R -
lhe chances are that President
Roosevelt will report to Congress
IN person on his history making
trip to the Middle East for war
conferences.
Secretary of State Hull was in
vlted to appear before a joint Sem
ate-House session after his return
from the Moscow conference OF
Russian, British and American
foreign ministers.
With that in mind. Presidential
Secretary Stephen Early said in
response to questions today that
he would naturally anticipate that
the President would receive a sim
liar invitation and would respond
to it. Hull accepted his.
Accounting Wanted
Democratic and Republican lead
ers in both Senate snd House said
they hoped Mr.. Roosevelt would
give Congress an accounting of his
meetings. with Winston Churchill,
Joseph Stain, Chang Kai-shek
and President lsmet Inonu of Tur-
key. But they are not talking of
issuing formal invitation. Their
idea appears to be to wait until
the President once more is in the
White House and then learn his
wishes.
The chief executive has been
gone more than a month already
and undoubtedly will have a con-
siderable volume OF work stacked
on his desk when he returns. Not
only will he have to dispose of
routine paper work, but he also
will have to consider an annual
message to Congress and a budget
for the 1915 fiscal year, both of
which must be ready early in the
new year.
Consequently he might see fit
to combine his report on his Mid
die East travels with the annual
message. A separate appearance
to discuss the highly significant
Cairo and Teheran conferences
might be favored, however, to help
bring about the unity on foreign
policy between the two maor po-
litical parties which Hull has rec
commended
Presidential Appraisal
A presidential appraisal of the
conferences in Egypt and Iran I'M
questionably would be phrased
largely IN generahties, since ii
would not eerve the Allied cause
to disclose steps taken at them
to win the war.
Senate Majority Leader Barley
D.-KyD said the Senate would be

ident wanted TO tell Congress Of

However, Maj. Gen. Frederick

optimism regarding the bomber
losses-regarded as low-and said
the attacks were planned to take
advantage of weather conditions
which greatly favored the
bombers and hampered enemy
fighters.
Returning airmen said German
anti-aircraft fire was intense at
some points and some crewmen
reported the flax the heaviest they
had encountered.
Marauders added to the weight
of the American onslaught by
blasting a Nazi fighter base at
Schipol near Amsterdam in the
first mission for the medium
bombers in eight days.
Of the Is enemy fighters knock

In all, five heavy bombers. two
