Bing Crosby Will Go Back
On Air at $50, 900 a Week
By The Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 16.-Bing
Crosby, after several months of va
cationing from the radio, goes back
on the air in October.
The lure is $4,000 a week from
the Ehilco Corp. It's the highest
salary ever, says American Broad
casting Co., topping Jack Benny by
about $4,000 a week.
But the one thing that sold Bing
on the idea. pronounced by his
! brother Everett Crosby
is that he can make his program
as he pleases. and it will be trans
cribed for presentation at the regu-
lar hour.
Bing doesn't like to do his radio
programs in public. He'd rather
wear a slouchy hat, roomy sports
coat, slacks and sing with his pipe
in his mouth, as he does on his
phonograph recordings.
The program will be broadcast to
600 stations in the United States,
South America, Australia and Eu-
rope.

Continue 10 Ease
In Dull Session
By Victor Eubonk
Assoeio.ed Press FinoneioI Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The stock
market remained in the grip of the
summer doldrums today and, while
few favorites managed to override
light selling. leaders generally re-
sumed the downward drift.
Losses were reduced here and
there at the close but widespread de-
clines Of fractions to a point or more
persisted. Assorted thin blue chips
dropped 4 or on meager trans
actions A number of pivotals never
registered on the ticker tape.
The list was rather sleepy from
the start although dealings picked
up now and then. Transfers of
around 100000 shares were another
OF the small aggregates since early
july.
