 Jimmie Fidler, whose life'S story reads like a movie scenario, is now Sunday evening feature of WNLC at 8:3O o'clock and the nationwide facilities of the Mutual Broadcast ing System.
 Emerging from World War I as the youngest commissioned officer in the U. s. Marine Corps, Fidler did everything from washing dishes in Hollywood restaurant to press agentry for the stars, before find ing his own spot in the Armament.
 A fan letter than appealed to Betty Compton, silent era beauty, which the gracious star answered personally, was his start. It encour- aged Fidler to sell thriving auto accessories business, established on his release from the Marines, to try his luck in front of the Kleig lights.
 First prize in movie magazine contest gave him his first film break, which resulted in bit parts in several early films. In a few months he had worked up to semi importan roles, one of them as the brother of Wallace Reid in Al ways Audacious." Then, in 1920 the studios suffered their first major shutdown, and he was out of job. He was reduced to dish washing again. ~.
 Then succession of breaks, lead ing to the editorship of the Holly wood News, resulted in an offer to go with the old Famous Players Lasky Company (now Paramoun) doing publicity for it's stars. They included Rudolph Valentino, Wal lace Reid, Mary Miles Minter, Glo- ria Swanson and others. Then he became convinced that his future was in publicity, and he opened his own bureau, handling as many as forty big name stars and direc- tors at once.
 In 1883 he made his radio debut in an RKO radio program, Holly wood on the Air." His breezy style and mike manner opened a new avenue which became his road to fame as Hollywood's foremost radio commentator. This was done for experience only. In 1884 he had his first sponsor.
 Jimmie Fidler then started his radio column and had it Syndi- cated in over 15O newspapers.
 Born in St. Louis, raised and ed- ucated in Tennessee and MiSSis- sippi, Fidler stands feet 91s inches in height, has blue eyes and blond hair, and tips the beam at 155. He is a four-handicap golfer, a fastidious dresser, "lunch coun- ter' addict, and he plays piano. On June 6, 1947, he married Adeline Cox Mcknight
 WNLC is happy to announce that beginning Sunday, September 12, we will broadcast the American Broadcasting Company program, Theatre Guild on the Air" every Sunday from 9:30 to 10:30 p. m. This popular program, sponsored by United States Steel Company, has large following among thea Ire lovers and presents the stars of stage and screen in well known play each week.

The additional decline in share

Declines of fractions to around a

active than in yesterdays session.
Jitters remained prevalent In
trading circles concerned over the
extent of a readjustment which had
been long expected. Brokers re-
ported some support stemmed from
short covering and professional buy
ing for quick-turn profit in antici-
patton of temporary correction OF
recent sharp drops. Weakness on
stock exchanges abroad was re-
straining influence, along with
doubts over tax legislation and
labor's probable moves.

Auto Output Expected
To Set New Records
In Middle Of March
By Dovid J. Wilkie
Associated Pres. Au.omo.iv. Editor

DETROIT, Feb. 11.-About mid
March the Nations automobile
plants probably will set up some new
high marks for postwar production
This Is definitely in the cards now
as the car makers whose assembly
lines were slowed down or stopped
entirely by the industrial gas short
age plan to regain much OF the re-
sultant production loss.
To establish new postwar output
marks the factories will have tc
top the 116,071 cars and trucks that
were assembled during the week
ended December 20, 1947. During
the more than two weeks OF the
curtailments and suspensions the
factories have been able to build up
substantial stocks Of essential mate
rials and are reported in good posi-
ton to step up output on short
notice.
Chrysler Hard Hit.
One of the car makers hardest
hit by the cold weather gas shortage
was Chrysler Corp. Its normal out
put of around $4,000 passenger cars
was cut to less than 1850 last week.
Chrysler probably will operate over
time for several weeks in the effort
to regain the lost output volume.
Some industry surveys show many
supplier plants outside the Detroit
area were affected by curtailment
of their gas supplies. Most of these
concerns probably will also step up
their production schedules.
In all cases, considerable over
time work will be necessary. This
will be welcome to the workers, who
in the Detroit area alone have lost
upward OF $15,000,0o0 in wages dur
ing the last two weeks because o1
the plant shutdowns.
Ford Plans Shutdown.
The factories appear to be almost
certain to turn out more than twt
and one-half million vehicles IN ths
first half of this year.
Ford lines will be out Of produc'
ton for from six to eight week.
but no other curtailments are eur
rently in sight. The Ford shutdown
will precede the introduction Of new
Ford models early in June.
This has stimulated considerable
interest and speculation regarding
Chevrolet's 1949 model program. Tht
biggest of the General Motors divi.
sions made relatively few changes
in its 1948 models. 1t lost no pro-
duction as it changed models las
month.

Educators Open Drive
To Give Colleges Title
In Temporary Housing

The Nations educators opened q
determined drive yesterday before
the House Public Works Commit
tee to gain unconditional posses
sion of about $436, ,000, 900 worth OF
temporary housing for CT students
erected on college campuses since
the war.
Their plea followed Endorsement
by Raymond M. Foley, Housing and
Home Finance Administrator, of
pending legislation to extend for an
other year the July Is, 1949, dead
line set by Congress for the re-
moval of 100000 occupied housing
units in more than 1900 commune
ties. The new .deadline proposed in
a bill pending before the commit
tee for the past year is June 80, 1850.
Transfer of Ownership.
Mr.. Foley assured the committee
and educators the proposed legis-
lation would have the effect Of CIV
ing the colleges and universities title
to the housing and academic units
erected on campuses, since it would
transfer ownership to municipali-
ties under certain conditions of re-
endorsement. Joining Mr.. Foley in
indorsing the purposes of the legis-
lation, spokesmen for higher educa-
ton urged that no conditions" be
attached to the transfer of the
property.
DR.. Arthur g. Adams, president
elect Of the University of New
Hampshire and now a member Of
the Cornell University faculty. ap-
peared as chairman of the housing
committee for the American Council
on Education and the Association of
Land Grant Colleges and Universi-
ties. He agreed with Mr.. Foley that
the housing situation throughout
the country would remain acute for
the next few years. He said tre-
mendous backlog OF "nonveteran
students" awaits admission to col
leges.
Student Increase Seen.
At most schools, he said, the re-
turns to the Government in rentals
from temporary housing will dimin-
ish under the increasing cost of re-
pairs and maintenance. New con-
struction is twice as costly as in the
prewar years, he said, making 1t
impossible for most nonprofit insti-
tutions to replace temporary with
permanent dormitories.
Educators predict as many STU

dents next fall as during 1947. and
that is an extremely conservative
guess" DR.. Adams said. The in
crease will be made up Of large
numbers of nonveteran students
who were denied admission to COL
leges during the past two years be-
cause Of the influx Of veterans.
For this reason, he contended,
