1 woman of the Week" on Songs by Morton Downey" over Mutual and affiliated stations on Tuesday
 (Aprn 1O at 1915 D. m.
 The stooge of a stooge may be a narrow and limited field of employ ment but Paul Winchell, ventrilo- quist heard on Sammy Kaye's Fri day night WATR-Blue network broadcasts, remembers a week five years ago when his dummy foil, Jerry Mahoney, had as a stooge of his own one of the nations present top celebrities.
 It happened when Paul and blockhead Mahoney were playing Shea's theater in Buffalo with Tommy Dorsey as the band attrac- tion. Part of the act called for Winchell to remain on stage while Mahoney popped his head out of the wings occasionally to heckle him. Mahoney's voice during the heckling interludes was none other than Frank Sinatra, then Dorsey,s vocalist.
 Marian Anderson, great American contralto who has just returned to New York from another highly suc- cessful concert tour, will be guest artist on the Telephone Hour to- night, when that program is heard on NEG at goo D. m. EWT; She will be accompanied by Donald Voorhees conducting the 57-piece Bell Symphonic Orchestra.
 Those smart sophisticates of com edy-the WeSSon Brothers = will carve another niche in their star studded career by appearing on to- nights edition of the Chesterfield Supper Club" program, heard from Monday to Friday at 2 D. m. EWT over NEG. Long a favorite of nite-clubs, stage and screen, the WesSon Brothers team up with singing star Perry Como to make this evenings Supper Club" a must" for -.ialers everywhere. The scintillating music of Ted Steele and his orchestra, plus the singing of lovely Mary Ashworth and The Satisfyers complete the entertain ment on the Supper Club" bill. Martin Block is the announcer -em- cee.
 Crooner Jerry Wayne, singing star of his own Sunday Blue Network program, is making a series of re- cordings for the Treasury Depart ment in connection with the forth coming Seventh War Loan Drive, which will be played on over 800 stations throughout the country. Jerry will feature tunes written by Songsmith Bob Russell, including Time Was" Brazil" T Didn't Know About You" and one which was especially written for the drive, "I'll Be Home For Keeps" Mark Warnow's orchestra will accompany Jerry Wayne on these platters.
 James Melton's penchant for an- tiques apparently is limited to his celebrated collection of ancient auto- mobiles and does not extend to tunes judging by the comparatively mod ern list he picked as his favorites to be played as a medley by Guy Lom- bardo and His Royal Canadians over WATR and the Blue Network, tonight at 10 p. m.

JoiI Sentences,
Fines Imposed

DETROIT, Jan. 26 - up -
Sentences totaling 113 months
in Jail and $4,000 in fines were
imposed by Federal Judge Frank
A. Picard yesterday on 80 per-
sons accused of dealing in coun-
terfeit gasoline coupons or Of
selling legitimate coupons to
dealers and others.
Calling the defendants before
the bench, Judge Picard told
them "the American offensive
which went to the borders of
Germany was halted because of
the lack of gasoline"
GAS a result of our failure to
pursue the Germans" he con-
tinued, "the enemy re-establish-
ed its lines and started an often
sive which ended in perhaps
100000 casualties for the Unit
ed States.
81 am not saying you were
entirely to blame, but certainly
you didn't hurt the German
Army when by counterfeit cou-
pons you took gasoline off the
home front that was badly need
ed.
1T wouldn't take a great deal
of speculation to put the blame
right on your shoulders you
and others who buy and sell in
the black market. You people
gambled with fate and lost. In
view of the circumstances, !
think the sentences are very
lenient."
Frank ]. Amaradio, 20, of De-
troit, who was convicted Of SELL
ing ALP coupons to dealers, re-
ceived one year Imprisonment
and a $1,000 fine. Martin Els
ner, 80, of Detroit, received a
