By Travis K. Hedrick RADIO SINNERS

A dOcumented account of the sins of US. radio stations has been released by the Federal Communi. cations Commission, but because ii dealt with the touchy subject of advertising, little of the criticism got into the public prints.
 The EGG admitted that ''adver. Using represents the only source of revenue for most American broad. casting statiOns,' amounting to over $397 million a year. But, the commission said, that ''dOes not mean that broadcasting should be run solely in the interest of the ad vertisers rather than that of the lis teners."
 Going into the list, EGG found tha Station KMAC, San Antonio, Tex broadcast 2215 commercial announce ments in 133 hours on the air during the week beginning Jan 21, 1o45. This was an average of 167 spots per hour Spot announcements in excess ot 1000 per week have been noted on : number of stations.".
 But the prize went to WTOL Toledo, which piled in six spot an nouncements in 51z minute perioc on Nov. IA, 1914.
 Long commercials were also tar gets. EGG reported that the CBS "Theater of Romance" sponsored by Colgate, has commercials that "rur anywhere from three minutes and Is seconds to 4z minutes" Salesmen First
 In a study of 834 broadcast stations EGG found that flor every three writers employed, there were four ad- vertising salesmen employed. For every dollar paid to the average writ CT. the average salesman was paid $2.3o."
 EGG has long believed in the sustaining (nOn-cOmmericiaD pro. gram as a balance wheel for radio ito give the public something more than the soap opera. "Whai happens when the balance-wheeI function of the sustaining program is neglected can be illustrated by the case of the soap opera, defined

AS WE SEE IT

THE Spartanburg (S. O. Her. aId stated: "South Carolina has produced only one statesman in the last 80 years." But when the item was picked up in the Junior Cham Der of Commerce bulletin, it read i: South Carolina has produced only one man in the last 80 years.''
 NEWSMEN had W instO n Churchill peering into the future, according to the New York Times version of a recent interview:
 ''Ensconced in a chair be- fore a battery of microscopes, the former Prime Minister addressed reporters"
 COMPOSITION of a national board of B prominent Americans to serve in an advisory capacity to the Natl. Citizens Emergency Relief Committee to Aid Strikers Families was announced this week. Among those listed as board members are Mrs.. Eleanor Roosevelt, James Roosevelt, Fiorello H. LaCuardia and Senators Claude Pepper, Rob- ert M. LaFollette, Joseph F. Cuff fey, Warren C. MagnusOn and James M. Mead.
 Heading the committee, which is dedicated to raising funds to feed the families of nearly one million strikers, is Dr. Frank Kingdom.

as "a continuing serial in dramatic form.
 ''In January 194O", EGG found, ''the four networks provided lis- teners 59H daytime hours of spon- sOred programs weekly. Of these, 55 hours were devoted to soap operas. Only AZ hours a week on the four networks were devoted to any other type of program. Adver- tisers, in short, were permitted to destroy overall program balance by concentrating on one type of pro- gram. The number of soap operas subsequently increased, reaching in April l94l, a total of some 5O.''
 Radio has never looked too kindly on the free" program-the sustaining programs. EGG referred to Labor For Victory, which brought authoritative speakers to discuss labor's role in the war effort in programs produced by the AFL alternating with the CIO, and found that it was carried on Sun day, April 30, by 5 NEG stations and rejected by 104.
 rev II dHy sustaining programs are carried from 6 to II pm. by any of the chains and that afiliates often carried no network sustaining pro- grams whatever.
 WCAU, a 5OOO0 watt CBS clear channel station in Philadelphia, for instance, carried only 20.8@o of the available network sustaining programs from 6 to II p.m during the week of Feb. 8, 1945, and more than 6396 of the sustaining programs carried by WCAU were on Saturday and Sun day.
 These and lot of other facts were assembled in the 14O page document issued by EGG under the direction of Acting Chairman Charles R. Denny, Jr. Denny, at B, is being closely watched by radio interests that feel he is dangerous. Broadcasting, industrial weekly, said ''certain of Mir.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS
By John M. Lee

that Walcott could knock the champ off his pins, if the time presents itself, for he is a terrible puncher. However, he would find that he would have to get through Joe's two dynamite-laden fists to do the trick in real fight.
 Following the Walcott-Gomez fight there was lot of talk about the Mauriello set-to. Admittedly there is a scarcity of real material to pit against the champ, but there is no reason to push Walcott to the top of the list without hay ing him first try to eliminate some of the other contenders. Nat Rog- CTS, Twentieth Century Sport Club matchmaker, suggested that Wal colt do battle with Joe Baski as a prelude to the championship shot, but Vic Marsillo, who brought Walcott out of the latest of his many retirements, rebelled, stating that Jersey Joe had all ready polished off Baski.
 There is good common sense be- hind the suggestion that Walcott meet the contenders. In this way he would establish an indisputable claim to the championship shot, and the match would draw a healthy gate. The danger in leav- ing the elimination to Joe Louis is present in the fact that there would be few fans who would be interested in a fight between the champ and any of the present con- tenders. Joe would be fighting his head off and getting little in re- turn.
 Prominent among the contenders with whom it is possible to match Walcott is Elmer (Violent) Ray, the ex-crocodile wrestler who has become something of an enigma in boxing circles. Elmer has been batting out homers on top heavys in the sticks and he has built up nice string of victories. Mike Jacobs, who runs things fistic in this over-grown hamlet, has never smiled on Rays ambition to rock heavy to sleep in the Garden and as result, the Violent One is without big-time prestige. How ever, he is rated to be the best of the lot by experts who has sneaked out of town to see him in action, and he will show in the Metropoli- tan area on August 28, when he meets Lee Savold in Ebbetts Field.
 Reports are that Walcott's man. ager isn't hankering for a brawl with Elmer, and that might be be- cause it would put an end to Jer- sey Joe's prominence He may have to take it though, because it will take something more than Wal cott's win over Gomez to get him into the ring with Louis.

 ToClose Doors

The Hartford Steamrollers with a present squad of over 6 teams or approximately 66 men, will stop accepting players as of Sept. 8. The reason given by Coaches David and Glass are that the huge squad must be cut down to a min imum of players and the pre-sea- son training period would have ended by Sept. 8. They explain ed that the conditioning of men will be over by Sept. 4th and any players joining the team there after will not be in good enough shape to face competition.
 The August 18th practice ses- sion was highlighted by photo graphs being taken. "Chick' Adams was on hand to aid in get ing the boys in shape. Adams, a gymnastic instructor and boxing trainer-manager is giving his as- sistance to the Coaching Staff.
 He is also member of the Hart ford Athletic Association.
 The team plans it's first game on September 15 at Municipal Stadium with team yet to be an- nounced. Negotiations are being made to try to get the Green Bay Packers, if they are in the vicin- ity at that time. The Hartford Pros are also being contracted for the game.

WALcOTT'S VICTORY PROVES EVERYTHING AND NOTHING

New York-The IT to odds on the recent Jersey Joe Walcott - Tommy Gomez match at Madison Square Garden doesn't indicate the true level of the match any more than does Jersey Joe's two and a fraction round knockout victory in- dicate that he should be matched with champion Joe Louis. Gomez lost because Walcott is the more experienced ring-master, which is a good and sufficient reason for the victor or the loser.
 Walcott's victory was spectac- ular enough, and left no doubt in the minds of the fifteen thousand spectators that he was master of the situation. He slugged Gomez with a telling right to the chin during the first minutes of the fight, and he threw leather at the game little purple heart ex-GI un- til the referee stopped the fight to prevent disaster.
 Gomez showed gameness and plenty of fight, but he was out of practice and out of luck. He can come back and give a good >ac- count of himself with a few more fights. The point I want to make is, he would not be handicapped under such great odds, for with only few minutes of actual fight ing as an exhibit, he convinced most of the fans that he can give it and take it sufficiently to be trouble to most of the heavy weight contenders.
 Walcott is an old hand at this box-fghting business. He has long been the hero of a fable that is going the rounds in which it is alleged he once knocked Joe Louis kicking in practice session. There have been plenty of denials of this story, and the general ten dency is not to believe it, but Wal colt was dismissed from the Louis camp, and this could easily have been the reason.
 There is no doubt about the fact

Black Panther Still Claws In Creenbacks

Chicago - Distinguished from all but a few pugilists both white and Negro, Harry "Black Panth- CT" Willis is an ex-boxer who not only isn't broke but makes over $25,000 yearly, says a photo-pro- file in the September issue of Ne gro picture magazine EBONY.
 The colorful ex-boxer, denied a championship fight with Jack Dempsey which most experts con- cede he would have won, is a real estate man without an office, the article states. He owns two profit making Harlem apartment houses and two big country estates.
 The pictorial feature, written by sports writer Dan Burley, man aging editor of a New York Ne. gro weekly, shows Wills 1.-the anc athletic at 54. His weight is a trim 240, only ten pounds over his fight ing weight at the time of his re. tirement.
 The Black Panther, a close friend of Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey and the late Jack Johnson among other ring greats, boasts one ot the all-time best records. Wills won 476 out of his 48O fights, los ing to the "Boston Tar Baby" Sam Langford, and once to both Pao1ino Uzcudun and Luis Firpo. The lat ter two losses came late in Wills career. Old Sam beat him twice when Wills was a comparative new conner. But Wills evened things up eventually by kayoing Langford twice.
 Wills career stretches over a phenomenal 24-year span, begun with ninth-round KO win in 19- II and ending with a f ourth- round KO win in 1884.
 Of his warm friendship with Joe Louis, the article quotes Wills: "Joe and I are good friends. l visit his training camp and attend all his fights. I think the boy is one of the greatest champions and very good man."

 The Boston Giants stood out this week as winners in the Boston City League - first colored team to hold this honor.
 The team finished the season with the most remarkable record ever compiled by a local baseball aggregation: 58 wins against 10 losses for a season average of nearly 300.
 The Giants now await the con- clusion of the playoff going on be- tween the two top teams of the Boston Park League - the Vets and the Caseys - when they will take on the winners.
 That the Giants stand better than-even chance of taking the city championship when they meet the Park League winners; tops in that league for good part of the season was the w. Roxbury team, who have beaten both the Caseys and Vets, and the Giants have bea- ten w. Roxbury without bit of trouble.
 The City League was formed some time ago when the Giants were refused admission to the League as it was then constituted.

Bobby Burton Upsets Aruiio

As is now known, Bobby Bur- ton, 14s, of Providence, defeated Tony Arujo, 14OA, recently on a unanimous decision at the Area dia Arena, but that's only half the story:
 Burton, with only four profes- sional bouts under his belt, took all six rounds from the more ex- perienced Arujo, who was once New England Amateur lightweight champ. Bobby, who has a long reach and a dangerous right hand hit Tony at will and often with rights and lefts, and only pure gameness kept Tony around for the final gong.
 It is distinctly turning point in the yet early stages of But tons pro career, and it is quite likely that from here in he'll be matched against more classy op- position. Keep your eyes on Bob by Burton.
