 NO COMMERCIAL PLUGS
 Little things -, which mean so much.
 But the Armed Forces Radio Service means more to the boys in the field than just the little things. Command Performance is just one of many G. I. radio pro- grams which is making America just across. the street in this global war. Uncle Sam now is the operator of an international network which Is the biggest in the history of radio.
 Every week the ArnGd Forces Radio Service under the command of It. Col. ThoS. H. A. Lewis, trans mits 160 programs throughout the world. Forty-two are strictly C. I. produced for and sent exclu- sively overseas to our armed forces These programs are never heard in the United $ I,ates.
 The other 62 include the top commercial shows that were popu- lar with service men before the war. For Uncle Sam, though, the shows go thorugh "denaturing' process. he boys don't have to sit through long commercials. 1n- stead of hearing about breakfast foods and how to avoid housemaid's s knee, the men are told how to avoid booby traps and what to do if wounded.
 ENTERTAINS TROOPS
 All the programs are trans Scribed, and then shipped by plane to radio stations throughout the globe where they are sent via standard wave to ships at sea, to small islands in the Pacific, to Africa, Italy, China, Alaska, to wherever there is an American boy.
 Government owned, commer- cially-operated and American Ex- peditionary Stations are supplied with these transcriptions. The latter are erected in isolated sections where there is no other means of reaching the troops. Many of the A. E.. s. units are mobile and can be moved with advancing troops

Hollywood, May 17.-"Oh, brother, listen to that steak and those onions sizzlel"
 Two air corps non-coms in Q fox hole somewhere in the South Pacific didn't have steak, much less Q cucculent onion. But they did have a radio, and over that radio they heard Lana Turner frying steak and onions ln an- swer to their own request.
 It was Command Perform anoe.
 Command Performances is the American serviceman's own radio program that answers his re- quests for everything from violin due by Jack Benny and Jascha Heifetz to the sound of his daugh- ter crying
 It's strictly G. I. radio, produced in Hollywood by the Armed Forces Radio Service and short waved every week to our troops around the world. It's been go- ing on now for two years 104 weeks of billion-dollar entertain ment featuring stars of stage screen and radio - and those funny little requests from home sick kids who want something to remind them of home.

The friend did so and when he returned an- nounced the card he had selected. Dunninger then directed another person to examine the deck. The card in question was missing. Eyegy- one looked baffied until the Master Mentalist produced from his wallet and explained that actually he had projected the card to his friend.
