Roosevelt ReIaxes
AS Funnymen Toll
'At Radio Dinner

President Roosevelt relaxed last
night with the vigorous assistance
OF some of the Nations best known
entertainers who were lured to the
Statler Hotel for the first annual
dinner of the Radio Correspondents
Association.
Most Of Washington's official
brains and gold braid dined with the
President, while an expensive COL
lection Of artists provided couple
Of hours of funny business and music
for these busy men with lot on
their minds.
Attending the function were about
400 men and women connected with
radio, including most of the news
analysts and commentators Of the
four major networks.
Jack Benny ran the show. AS
master of ceremonies, he was around
most of the night, insulting Fred
Allen, introducing other entertainers
commenting sagely on world affairs,
and, inevitably, playing Love in
Bloom" on a borrowed violin.
It's Like Waukegan.
Mr.. Benny said he was very fond
Of Washington, indeed.
"It's like Waukegan with people, ~
he explained.
He said he was beginning a tour
in connection with the Mile o.
Dimes" campaign for the infantile
paralysis fund, and the day before
the drive ended he was going to the
White House where he had been in
vited to lunch with the President.
That's awfully nice of him." he
said. "Of course, he didn't have to
go to all that trouble. I was going
to give my dime anyway"
Alec Templeton was there, with
some of his musical Impressions.
Connee Boswell sang. Bill Robinson
tap-danced and stopped long enough
to do some wishful thinking.
'If they ever caught Hitler In
Harlem" he said, they'd cut him
four ways-long. deep. wide and
OoAiocCutiVcly.
Mind Reading Stunts.
Dunninger, the mental telepathist,
performed some mind-reading stunts
that must have caused a bit Of
squirming among the generals and
admirals with military secrets under
their hats. Other singers were Sally
Moore, Bob Merrill, the Varsity
Chorus and a trio of uninhibited
young ladies called the Murtah
Sisters. Rosario and Antonio did
some gypsy dances and a fellow
named Johnny Burke, a remnant
of the last war, delivered a
soliloquy on Army life.
An orchestra furnished by the
Marine Band played during dinner
and Frank Black and an NBC or
chestra took over during the show.
The President apparently had q
good time. He laughed a good deal

WATER PIPELINE
TO Be USED SOON

The arrival here yesterday OF an
emergency gasoline engine nov
makes it possible very soon to
begin pumping water from the
Kings Bluff pumping station
through the new 2o-mile concrete
steel pipeline, City Manager A. c.
Nichols said.
The hold-up since late last year
in the switch over to the new line
was due to the late arrival OF the
gasoline engine, which City au-
thorities explained was necessary
as standby for emergency use.
It was thought that irregular serv-
ice might develop without the
emergency engine.
The CITY Manager said the new
engine will equip the station so
there will be no question that we
can maintain a flow from King S
Bluff, insofar as the pumping sta
ton is concerned"
Manufactured by the Climax
Engineering Co., the engine Will
be Installed at Kings Bluff by the
A. H. Guion Co.
The test flow of water into Will
mington through the pipeline has
been made on several occasions,
it was learned. The pipelines last
link was laid last September ~.
