MYTH radio, as with the press, SCOOP
or neWsbeat" or first is a prize con-
stantly sought after, highly treasured and
jealousy guarded when achieved, as symbol
of job we'll done. Such "frsts" are seldom
discussed in public but are always widely
hailed in professional radio circles A radio
stations stature within the community it
serves and throughout the radio industry de-
pends upon its ability to broadcast important
news flashes minutes or even seconds before
other stations do So
The listening public certainly is not concerned
with who corners these split-second prizes
except insofar as a station speed and accu-
racy in news reporting influences the publics
listening habits and preferences. That's
where our story begins n
Radio Station WMAL, The Evenimg Star
Station, published an advertisement in this
paper Saturday, August II, which stated that
WMAL reported the news of the japanese
surrender offer before any other Washington
radio station. The statement read: ''WMAL-
ABC gave Washington the first news of the
Japanese offer of surrender \ at 80 Sec
onds past 1886 Am. X = This is one of those
'irsts' that loom large in the eyes of the peo-
pie in the radio industry It means we got
the jump on some other very smart, very alert
radio networks"
The news staff of WMAL is to be compli-
mented on an excellent reportorial job They
are entirely right in stating this is one of
those 'irsts' that loom large in the eyes of the

people IN the radio industry" 1t looms so
large, in fact, that the seasoned VOL news
reporters take exception to WMAL'S claim
of being first"
Fact is, if WMAL newsmen flashed the jap
surrender story at 1862 AM as they state,
then it's not a first for WMAL at all, be-
cause THE BOYS IN THE VOL NEWS
ROOM OFFICIALLY BROADCAST THIS
SAME FLASH TO- VOL LISTENERS
BEFORE 1862 AM. Not very much be-
fore, but enough to register, since it has be-
come necessary, a prior claim to this prize of
first" on the greatest news story in history.
Our VOL reporters are modest but proud.
They are not boasting of "first' to the pub
lie, even though their flash may have been
first-not only in Washington but in the
entire Nation.
It seems to us that public claims of "frst' are
used too often and too loosely by all Wash
ington radio stations We believe stations
obligation to the community it is privileged
to serve is to perform the best possible public
service. On this basis and on this basis alone
the listening public will decide whether or not
station is first"
WOL-MUTUAL newsmen, as we'll as other
staff members, are dedicated to intelligent
service in the public interest with the
full knowledge that our listeners are the best
judges of our ability to perform.

BOND MARKET HITS
SELLING SPLURCE

NEW YORK, Nov. 28-P)- The
bond market ran into selling diff
culties in the final half hour today
and ended mostly lower after hold
ing in a narrow range the greater
part of the session.
Offerings were concentrated in
the secondary rail group after two
days of rising prices. The Mil
waukee bonds, spearhead of the
advance earlier in the week, ended
1-8 higher to a point lower. The
Rock Island loans were narrow as
were those of the Missouri Pacific
and Baltimore & Ohio. New Haven
bonds made good progress at one
time but faltered with the rest of
the list and were mixed at the
final gong.
Emerging with modest plus
marks were Pennsylvania Central
Airlines 8 LIS, Peoria & Eastern
income As, American & Foreign
Power SIS, Boston & New York Air
line As, Chesapeake & Ohio lbs,
Cuba Northern Railway 5 LIS and
Firestone Tire IS. U. S. govern
ments were mostly unchanged.
Foreign dollar bonds followed the
general pattern of the market with
changes both ways generally in
fractions. Jugoslav bang Is, an in
active issue, dropped points to 16
on sale of one bond.
Total sales of $8,252, 900, COM
pared with $8,010,000 on Tuesday.
The Associated Press average of
20 rails dropped 2 of point to
1923.

Hitler Promises
New Offensive
In Last Appeals

LONDON, April 5: CUP)-A Nazi
broadcast said Thursday that Adolf
Hitler, in his first public utterance
since the Allied breakthrough in the
west, appealed to German soldiers
to hold until a new German Often
sive is launched soon.
Hitler made the appeal a few
days ago while addressing an army
unit which had distinguished itself
on the eastern front, brief broad
cast by the German Westphalian
station said.
European reports said Hitler wa
believed to have moved every prom
inent Allied parsonage in German
hands into "last-stand zone
around Berchtesgaden where they
will be used as hostages to bargain
for the. lives of Nazi war criminals.
Among those shifted to hideouts
in the Bavarian Alps, the London
Daily Herald said, were reported to
be King Leopold of Belgium, form
er French Premier Paul Reynaud,
Jakob Stain, son of Premier Stain,
and Kurt Won Schuschnigg former
premier of Austria.
The Herald suggested that Hitter
was planning to threaten to kill
these hostages unless he and men,
bers of the Nazi gang were granted
amnesty.
A Zurich dispatch to the London
Daily Mail said Hitler alternateS
between long spells of silence and
violent, screaming attacks of rage.
He sleeps rarely and his face is
lined with worry, the dispatch said.
It added that Hitler was believed
scared of British parachutists.
Another Daily Mail dispatch, this
one from Stockholm, said Nazi
propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels was injured when the au-
tomobile in which he was ridfng
last Saturday near Berlin crashed
into the rear of another in which
assassins killed two GeStapo guards
and their chauffeur.

HOLLYWOOD, April 5. UP)--

The action followed notification
of 10000 striking employees We'd
nesday that they were fired for re-
fusing to enc the 25-day, AFL juris-
dictional strike Of craftsmen in the
film industry,
The major producers said such
action was taken because of the
striking unions failure of its men,
bers to perform their services in ac-
cord with contracts with the pro-
ducers."
The Producers Association sent
wires to the painters, interior dec
orators, machiniSts, electricians and

Eisenhower Sees
Germans Usinu
Guerilla Tactics

WASHINGTON, April 5. CUP)-
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, su-
preme commander of Allied armies
in Europe, has written President
Roosevelt that there probably will
never be a clean cut military sur
render" of the German armies, the
White House disclosed Thursday.
Eisenhower said that if the pres
ent situation continues V-E-Day
(Victory in Europe will be signalized
only by an Allied proclamation and
not by any definite collapse of Ger
man resistance.
He foreSaw guerilla warfare which
would require for its suppression
a very large number Of troops"
The further the European cam
paign progresses, Eisenhower wrote
Mr.. Roosevelt, "the more probable
it appears that there will never be
a clean cut military surrender of the
forces on the. western front"
Our experience to date is that
even when formations as small as a
division are disrupted" he said,
their frabments continue to fight
until surrounded. This attitude if
continued likely will mean that a
V-E-Day will come about only by a
proclamation on our part rather
than any definite or decisive COL
lapse or surrender of German reSis-
projecting this idea< further, it
void mean that eventually all the
areas in which fragments of the
German army, particularly that
part taken by the application of or
the threat of force This would lead
into a form of guerilla warfare
which require FOR its suppression a
very large number of troops"
Eisenhower conceded that it was
always possible" that there might
be sudden upsurge of popular
resentment against the war" which
would lead to easier pacification of
Germany.
"My opinion he added, "is based
upon the supposition that our ex-
perience to date provides our best
basis for future prediction. At best
We should be prepared for teh even
tuality described"

35th Philippines
Island Seized

MANILA, April 5. (UP)-Gen.
Douglas Macarthur brought the
Philippines campaign to it's final
stage Thursday with the seizure of
Masbate Island and said Japan's en-
tire stolen empire to the south now
was isolated.
Masbate, l262-square mile is
land off the southeastern tip of
Luzon, was the 35th island in the
Philippines invaded by Macarthur
American forces. Units of the 48th
Division landed ON Masbate Tues
day against little opposition and
were rapidly securing the entire
island.
Maintaining the strict blockade of
the Southwest Pacific, swarms of
heavy and medium bombers and
fighters shuttled across the China
seas from the Philippines in wide
spread assaults from the China coast
to French Indo-China.

The Hot Potato

The Hot Potato.
RR, who honestly can't help it,
stuck an inquisitive nose into the
great court house park controversy.
AS is customary, RR herewith pass
cs the dirt on to the public.
Investigation showed that things
are not as bad as they seem and
with little more tact, diplomacy,
understanding, and cooperation on
the part of the FL Centre city coun-
Gil and the county board of super
visors, the county memorial to the
dead of World war No. 2 will have
n ceautiful setting across the street
from the county court house.
The controversy was caused when
the supervisors were told that the
city intended to charge the county
for the water uged on the grass,
shrubs, and trees to be planted in
the memorial park. Supervisors
didn't like the idea, saying the city
should provide the water when the
county paid all the other costs.
Let's not quarrel over memorial
park to be dedicated to the dead of
this war. There is enough fighting
