Insight TO a Caesar
Who Has Gone Way
Of All Caesars
NEW YORK.


Mussolini's downfall was a god
send to Bill Stern, personally.
1t enabled him to reveal for the
first time several punchy anecdotes
which made II Duce the goat but
which couldn't be revealed as long
as he was in power.
The first story dealt with the time
Ernest Hemingway knocked Musso-
lini out during a street fight in
Rome.
Here's the second which Bill told
during a recent Sports Newsreel"
broadcast.
It's the story of a German girl
named Mary Losch who studied to
be concert violinist and was also
so good at tennis that in 1927 she
reached the women's semifinals in
the German tennis championships at
Berlin. In 1928, Mary Losch was in
vited to represent Germany against
Italy in the women's tennis matches
and she did SO well that she was in
vited to play an exhibition match
with Mussolini. At that time he was
being highly publicized as great
Italian athlete.
The game began. Mary Losch
played an excellent set-so good that
Mussolini began to cheat. Despite
this obvious cheating, Mary Losch
was winning the first set six games
to three. Mussolini was getting
madder by the minute. Italian Of
ficials warned Mary Losch once that
it might be diplomatic" to let Ben
ito win but she was determined to
beat the man small enough to cheat.
AS the match neared it's climax,
one of the shots brought Mussolini
close to the net. He missed the shot
lost his temper-and in a fit of
wild rage-slammed his tennis rae
quet away. 1t struck Mary Losch in
the arm, breaking a wrist bone.
Naturally the match was called off.
The press made elaborate apologies,
but the fact remained that Musso-
lini had been beaten by a woman.
Mary Losch returned to Germany,
hating Mussolini and Fascism.
Meanwhile, her wrist healed but it
was too stiff to allow her to continue
as a concert violinist or a tennis
player. Later, she saw Fascism
spreading to Germany so she came
to the United States.
Today, Mary Losch doesn't care
about tennis or the violin. She's
making better living in pictures
under the name of Marlene Diet
rich.

DR.. Leopold Stokowski, on a recent

that Duke Ellington, in my opinion,
is one of Americas outstanding

fairly early, he is still growing to
greater heights"
Stokowski continued: "Ellington's

NEW YORK

NEW YORK.
Long and hard the battle. but il
looks as though American networks
have won the fight for the air from
the Axis. The influence of Berlin
Toxic and Rome broadcasts in the
Latin Americas is growing less and
less potent. and the United States
broadcasters are averaging 429 hours
of programs a week into South
America.
The foregoing statements are
based on recent surveys of another
member of the American alphabet
ical family, CIAA-Off1ce of Co.
ordinator of American Affairs.
CIAA has figures to show that the
100000 receivers below the Rio
Grande are now tuned in to Allied
frequencies far more than to Axis
broadcaSts. A large number of the
200 shortwave outlets in South
America prefer to hook up with
United States or British shows.
-
This is much more cheerful news
than the bare statistics would seem
to indicate. For several years before
the war, the concentration of our
enemy propaganda agencies on Latin
America resulted in complete DOM
lnation of the air.
Today United States news shows,
features, commentaries, music and
dramatic programs are the domi-
mating airfare. Besides the 420
hours emanating from networks in
this country weekly, BBC beams an
other 80 hours of broadcasts to
Latin America every seven days.
Our programs are beamed stimuli
taneously in Spanish over 10 Short
wave stations and in Portuguese over
three more. Facilities of CHS, NBC,
Westinghouse, General Electric,
Crosley and World Wide are used
for transmissions.

Miss Froman will learn her part

working on stage effects to get her

resorting to a wheelchair.
Customary radio procedure, when

to have the actor read his lines into
filter mike. One exception is
the Parker Family, in which the
person on the telephone uses the
same mike as the rest of the cast.
but works little off mike so that
his voice has slightly less presence.
Producer Oliver Barbour has a
simple explanation for his refusal
to follow along in a practice that
has become a radio cliche. "If YOU
had telephone in your house that
reproduced voices like filter mike"
he says, you'd call the telephone
company and have it taken out!"

From the newest sailor in a boot

a suitable defense to thwart the
tricky FAYETTEVILLE attack. Not a
great deal in known of the style
of game employed by the Fayette-
vile club, but they are said to
operate from a single wing and
use deception and diversity in
abundance. Their record for this
season bears out the fact that they
will give the locals one of their
toughest affrays, as they have reg
istered wins over the Sanford,
Goldsboro, Durham and Wilson

The return of Piggy Dyches to
