Progressive political newseasters
are disappearing from the air

Alibis are plentiful for the
gradual disappearance from "a.
dio of any political newscaster
who does not follow the line of
big business. Loss of sponsor, in
ability to find the right time
slot, economy, etc. But the fact
remains that in the past year
while the corps of reactionary
commentators has remained un-
touched, more than a score of
progressives have been pushed
off the air and the remaining
handful are close to the brink.
The trend can be traced back
to Nov. 6, 1945, when the Wood
Rankin committee on unAmeri-
can activities announced an in
vestigatiOn of the political views
of seven radio commentators.
Only four remain on the air to-
day, and of these two have been
cut down to Once-a-week broad

the right has become even more

MIS- q Wonderful Life" is closer
to really Than average film
By MARJORIE MILTON

ny NAhoOhlE MlLlON
Despite its shortcomings, cts
a Wonderful Life" is a reasonable
facsimile of a pretty wonderful
movie.
As George Bailey, whose
dreams of travel and education
have been frustrated by the de-
mands and responsibilities of a
small town existence, Jimmy
Stewart returns to the screen af.
ter an absence of five years. His
boyish charm, often a little self
conscious i'm earlier movies, has
been mellOwed by a new sincerity
and maturity. In its quality of
warmth and sympathy, his fine
performance is not often equalled
on the screen.
Director Frank Capra has put
together an excellent cast and a
good script and turned them in
to a simple, honey tale about
some very nice people.
George (Jimmy Stewart, at
the age of 80, is a struggling
small town banker with a wife
and four kids. When mis- befud.
died, alcoholic uncle tThomas
MITCHELL, urged on by the
despot of the town Clio.
mel Barrymore), makes off with
a large sum the day the bank ex-
aminers are due, George is in de-
spair. He looks back on drab
life of sacrifice and wishes lie
had never been born.
At this point, the device of fam
tasy is introduced to show
George how useful his life has
really been to the people he has
known.
Clarence, his guardian angel
(2nd class shows him what the
town would have been like had
George never lived. Henry Ira
vers is sweet, wistful and de.
lightfully vague angel. In his
George learns that it's
a wonderful life.
y n
While many movie-goers may
think it unfortunate that only an
angel can solve Georges very
real and man,made problems, the
fantasy is never obstructive.
Even this sequence is a good deal
closer to reality than the average
movie.
