RUSSES dent: A chief executive finds him Sonja's Legs Guarded Like Race Horse's HOLLYWOOD CP) Sonja Henie skates on black ice in her new picture, "The Countess of Monte Cristo." For one scene a jet black fluid is sprayed on one layer of ice, and another layer of ice frozen on top. The same procedure, with white paint, is used in another scene. Miss Henie's legs, incidentally, are the special concern of the studio while she's making a. picture and not because they happen to be pretty, either.

They're a valuable property. Her legs are massaged every day after the filming of ice skating sequences. Every time she steps off the Ice she wraps her legs immediately in a light woolen blanket, to guard against sudden chill. Thus she remains blanketed like a thoroughbred racer until director Andrew Stone calls her before the camera again. writ for booklatO I self opposed for renomination by hix own nartv and is forced to Mi nolo ii 1 Game Broadcast Snafu Brings Appeal To Veeck By BEE OFFIXEER, Radio Editor AN OPEN LETTER to Bill Veeck, care of Cleveland Indians.

DEAR BILL: Who is responsible for the fouled-up mess the baseball broadcasts are in What happened to that nice statement ou made at the end of the 1947 season to the effect that you would sign no radio contracts in the future which did not specify that the station would carry all games in their entirety? Hasn't anyone told you that, while the 15-station FM network is a fine thing, it covers less than 10,000 FM sets in the area at the moment? Granted, that situation will probably be changed in the future, it's now that we're talking about. FANS HAVE been pretty patient.

After serving his apprenticeship in Akron, he moved to the Youngs-town station. At first, his duties were general. But he soon was specializing in sports, news broadcasts, special events and production of variety programs.

The war interrupted his career for four years. He enlisted in the navy and received a commission. He served at the naval air station in Atlanta, and San Diego. As soon as his discharge became official, he returned to Youngstown. He came to Akron a few months ago.

That WJW finally got on the air after its network commitments were fulfilled and only because rain delayed the game doesn't alter the fact that the station hadn't originally scheduled the game at all.

You forged a lot of ill will that night. Not only toward your beloved Indians, but toward FM. This new type of broadcasting is just getting started. It deserves a chance to show what it can do. But the baseball situation alone Is making enemies for it.

WE KNOW THAT WCMW, Canton, and WWST, Wooster, are carrying the daytime games at full length. But there are a lot of sets which cannot tune in either of these stations. Or, if they do get them, there is such interference that the game isn't enjoyable. In addition, Canton and Wooster are daytime stations. They sign off at 7 p.

m. That leaves the night games to be handled by VJV alone. We know you're fair minded, BUI. We know you want to do the nest you can for your fans. We know that those radio fans will back you in any move you make to straighten out a bad situation.

That's why we hope you'll get the whole thing thrashed out before too many days. New Announcer THE BLOND, good looking young man, whose picture appears above, is Bob Wylie, 29. He's the newest addition to the staff of WAKR. Late of WFMJ, Youngs-town, Bob isn't a stranger here. Back in 1938, he was an announcer on WJW when it was located in Central garage.

Bob graduated from Ohio State university. Before he received his sheepskin, he had decided upon radio for a career.
