 Another important guy is the sound man. I won't say we use a lot of very loud, noisy sound effects on our program, but it's the only in radio that is record- ed simultaneously by the Crossley Poll and the Mount Wilson earth- quake meter.
 And we really use a lot of shooting effects. So far we've had to let five fellows go. They got trieger-happy. During the war we had a priority on ammunition that came right after MacAr- thur.
 Our sound men now are Wayne Kenworthy and Parker Cornell, and they sometimes have quite a bit of trouble trying to reproduce the exact effects for which the script calls. I remember once I wanted the sound of the studio blowing up for a finish joke and they worked for three hours be fore they finally hit upon a very novel and original way to get the effect they blew up the studio.

Wallace eHits Republicans Trade Policy
 Urges Continued
 Efforts to Get
 Along With Russia

New York, Sept. 13 - (UP) = Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace, keynoting the Administra- tion's Fall election campaign, charged the Republican Party last night with being the party of eco homie nationalisn" and urged con- tinued efforts to get along with Russia.
 Wallace warned against any "get tough with Russia" policy in an address at Madison Square Garden and urged the United States not to interfere in the political affairs of eastern Europe where current So- viet-British policies may eventual ly lead to war"
 Wallace was hissed at several points in his speech. The first time it occurred was when he mentioned President Truman'S name and a second outbreak occurred when Wallace was discussing American aims in China.
 Approved by President Wallace's address, delivered at a Beat Dewey" rally of New York liberal groups, had the approval of President Truman and was consid- cred a major policy speech as well as a keynote for the Democratic election campaign.
 Wallace said the Fall election is- sue was preservation of peace. Re- publican trade policies, he said, would "only mean worldwide de- pression, ruthless economic warfare and eventual war"
 He denounced the theory that Russian Communism and western free enterprise could not exist side by side.
 Under friendly, peaceful com- petition, the Russian and American world will gradually become more alike" Wallace said. "The Russians will be forced to grant more and more of the personal freedoms; and we shall become more and more ab- Sorbed with tn eproblems of social economic justice"
 Pepper Contrasts Wallace
 Sen. Claude Pepper, O., Fla), also addressed the rally, which was sponsored by the national citizens political action committee and the independent citizens committee of arts, sciences and professions.
 Pepper, in sharp contrast with Wallace, condemned the Adminis- tration's present foreign policy which he said was dictated by con servative Democrats and reaction ary Republicans, and was tainted with Mckinley Imperialism"
 Pepper called for special ses- sion of Congress flor a complete and full dress rehearsal of our blundering foreign policy" He said the public wanted to know why armed American forces become a symbol of royalty and reaction in the skies over Europe and Asia"

 LoeoI Party Heads
 Press denomination

Waterbury Republican Party leaders, together with others in the 5th District, were today reliably reported endeavoring to persuade Rep. Joseph E. Talbot to seek re- nomination.
 The Naugatuck Congressman, whose gubernatorlal efforts at the recent COP. convention were de- feated by State party leaders, is said to have promised to make known his decision sometime today. Friends of the solon report he will not agree to run again"
 The local delegation, it is said, has considered an attempt to draft Talbot by vote at tomorrow's con- vention scheduled for Moynihan's Inn, Lake Hitchcock, at Il A. M.
 Should Talbot refuse their de- mands, reports say that George Benedict, candidate from Winsted, is favored to get the nomination over James T. Patterson of Nauga- tuck Benedict is said to have too strong majority throughout Litchfield County and elsewhere for Patterson to overcome with his lower Naugatuck Valley votes. Harry Mosle, Litchfield, is reported a dark-horse candidate at this writing.
 Fifth District leaders are report ed dubious of the election oppor- tunities of any candidate in view of the partys defeat of Talbot's gubernatorial effort. Denomination of Talbot, they contend, would as- sure their being able to retain their hold on the area.

Millionaire Tycoon Dies
 George w. Hill
 III Short Time

New York, Sept. 13 -lUP)- George Washington Hill, president of the American Tobacco Company, died today at a camp near Quebec, Canada. He once earned a salary of $1,0O0,000 a year, partly because he had unique ideas about how to advertise cigaretS.
 He was 61 years old and had been i'll for short time, according to the announcement made here by the tobacco company.
 Many persons familiar with the advertising and radio business thought Hill was the prototype of Evan Evans, the owner of the soap company in Frederic Wakeman's best-selling novel, 'The Hucksters" !"
 Hill joined the million -dollar-a- year" executives in 1886, 26 years after he went to work for the Amer ican Tobacco Company fresh from Williams College. In that year, only brief period after the Stock Market crashed and the nation en- tered one of it's blackest depres- sions, Hill earned in salary and re- turns from his stock approximately $1,275 900.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 13.-(UP) If you fell out of bed, walked into an open door, or forgot to turn off the gas jets today, don't blame it on Friday the 18th.
 If you do, you'll get the old horse laugh from psychologists, like Dr. Edwin G. Boring of Harvard Uni versity, who know better.
 "1t's silly to think that Friday the 18th, or any other Friday for that matter. is an unlucky day" Dr. Ber- ing explained. Personally, I would like to have been married on Fri day the 18th. I wasn't, and haven't discussed the matter with my wife. But think it would be quite a pleas ant day for the ceremony"

JoffoJ Jail Assaulted By Raiders
 Underground Gets About $40, 900;
 Four Are Killed

Jerusalem, Sept. 13-(UP) The Jewish underground launched simultaneous at tacks on three big banks and the Jaffa prison today and escaped with $20,000 after gun battles in which three persons were killed, two wounded and eight raiders captured.
 The operation was one of the most daring yet under taken by the Jewish under ground and brought heavy detach- ments of British troops pouring in- to Jaffa and Tel Aviv, scene of the operations, and intensive security measures in Jerusalem.
 Casualties included 22-year-old Yemenite member of the attacking band, an Arab constable and an unidentified person killed; two girls wounded and eight raiders cap tured
 Banks attacked were the Barclay and Ottoman banks in Jaffa and the Ottoman Bank in Tel Aviv. Police and security details broke up the attacks on the two Jaffa banks and the casualties occurred when the raiders tried to shoot their way out of the Ottoman Bank in Jaffa.
 The attack on the Ottoman Bank at Tel Aviv was successful and the attackers succeeded In getting away with 5000 pounds, about $20,000. Initial reports that the loot was 15,000-pounds-$420, ,000-were in correct.
 Attempt to Free Comrades
 At the same moment that the underground gangs swooped down on the three big banks in wild west fashion fourth detachment raided the Jaffa prison in an attempt to free detained members of the Jew ish underground.
 The attack on the prison was regarded as a diversion in an att tempt to concentrate security forces in the prison area while the banks were raided.
 British troops poured into Tel Aviv and Jaffa and threw out cor dons in an effort to locate the perpetrators. A curfew was imposed on both towns.
 A United Press correspondent at the Aviv said he was in building opposite the Ottoman Bank on Rothschild Boulevard and watched the attackers, armed with subma- chineguns, sweep into the bank and carry out their daring raid.
 Patrols Guard Roads
 Hundreds of troops in patrols of 90 patrolled the streets of Jeru- salem, checking all traffic, especially that coming from Tel Aviv and Haifa. Barbed wire emplacements were hastily thrown up again at strategic crossroads.
 In Haifa another painstaking identity check was launched in hopes of uncovering the raiders.
