 w. c. Fields will pack a saw under his coat when he sneaks in the back-door of studio in Holly woods Radio City to ambush Charlie Mccarthy on the Chase and Sanborn program, Sunday, February 20. "Ol' Tomato Nose" as Charlie calls hm will give vent to his feelings toward the dummy over NEG at 800 p. m. (EWT.)
 As Fields sharpens his saw and Charlie sharpens his caustic wit, Bill Goodwin and Ray Noble's or chestra will carry on in the enter tainment preliminaries to the main bout. Never were there two greater l friends in show business than W. c. Fields and Edgar Bergen, but even Edgar admits that the great w. c. is quite sincere in his dislike of the wooden-creation that sits on Bergen'S knee.
 Bergen likes to tell of the time he went up to Fields home in Hollywood to make some gag pie lures of Fields with the dummy. w. 0. was most cordial to the ventrilo- quist but couldn't resist hurling re- bukes at Charlie when Bergen pull ed him out of his suitcase home. Fields seemed happiest when pos ing for a picture which showed him about to toss Charlie into the fire place. In fact, when he insisted in lighting fire Bergen perspired, but not from the heat, until the pie ture was made.
