hardly made before plans were un-
der way for two shows for District

through the facilities of Army short
wave stations and Army networks
operated in the European theater.
Talent familiar to every District
serviceman overseas was heard on
the first transcription. Bill Herson
OF WRC and Jerry Strong of WINK
were emcees; there were songs by
Gene Archer, sports news by Arch
Mcdonald and Russ Hodges, organ
music by Johnny Salb, comments on

section of the record featured a
montage of familiar sounds to be
heard around town, including Elder

scene at a Redskin game described
by Harry Wismer, traffic sounds at
