Starting as foreign correspondent with the Paris office of the London Pall Mall Gazette in 1913 and then returning to Washington during the first World War, Baukhage has always been close to big news in the making and has often scooped his fellow reporters in getting it to the public first.

On December 7, 1941, when the Japs treacherously struck Pearl Harbor, it was Baukhage who first broadcast the news direct from the White House. Baukhage gets his news and its meaning from press conferences with the President, and from conferences and personal talks with the Vice President, Cabinet members, important Senators and Represen Jane Greer, tinging starlet who first won public notice by her tinging of rhumbas and other torrid Latin songs with top-flight bands, will be featured guest on "Festival of American Music" when singing emcee Alfred Drake again does his stuff for tonight's broadcast over Station WTJS and the American Broadcasting Company at 9:00 p.m. Miss Greer, who is under contract to RKO Radio, is the latest of a line of Junior screen lovelies to, be honored on the program's "Ford- Motion Picture Magazine Showcase."

Jimmie Fidler, ace movieland reporter, whose commentary is heard Sundays over WTJS-ABC at 7:30 p. is also a syndicated newspaper columnist. Eddie Dunn, Emcee Of Jack Berch Show Has Varied Sareer Texan Eddie Dunn, announcer on The Jack Berch Show, is one of that small corps of radio pioneers who worked more for the "kicks" in the early days of the game than for the money. Eddie Dunn wanted to go to West Point Military Academy when he was a youngster, but the "Point" just didn't have a chance when fate and the weather teamed up on him. The fate and weather team stepped into the picture on a bliz-zardy night when the vocal quartet from the Waco, high school, of which Dunn was a member, was booked for fifteen minutes on a local station.

A fellow member of the quartet, named Monroe, picked Dunn up in his car and they drove to the station. When they arrived, they found them-sevles the only members of the foursome there, so they went on the air by themselves. They sang two-part harmony, with Dunn strumming out the rhythm on a ukelele. As a result of the many telegrams and phone calls received by the station, they were hired for an hour-long Saturday morning all-request show, for which they received $2.50 per week to enable them to buy news music for the next week' broadcast. Eddie was sixteen then, and when he was eighteen, he and Munn hitch-hiked to Dallas, where an old friend was managing a station.

Told to report for an audition, they arrived early, and walked into a studio where an announced was killing airtime for an act which didn't show up by reading from a newspaper (they did things like that in those days). The announcer looked up and saw Dunn's ukelele and said. "And here's our next act. folks. What are your names, boys?" When the manager came in, they were on the air.

Needless to say, they were hired immediately. Among the highlights of his career Dunn enjoys remembering, was the time the station decided to send him. Munn, and a girl pianist out to broadcast their impressions of a performance of the Ringling Brothers circus. They got ready to go on the air and then came the fun. The girl, who had never seen a circus performance before, was too excited to broadcast, and Munn had laryngitis and couldn't talk, so Eddie spoke off the cuff for three solid hours and wound up hardly able to talk himself.

A broadcaster of Southern Conference football for ten years, beginning in 1928, Dunn is always amazed when he looks back at the strange way he broke into sports announcing. He had gone to Waco to see a football game and dropped up to the press box at the end of the first half, and as the sports writer who was doubling at the microphone wanted to step out for a cup of hot coffee, he asked Dunn to tell the listening audience his opinion of the first half's play. When the announcer stepped out of the press b'ox he fell, knocking himself out, and Dunn found himself at the "mike" with no one else to take over. So he finished the game's broadcast. His boss in Dallas was listening to the game, and when Dunn returned he was informed from then on he was his station's sportscaster.

The Jack Berch Show, with Eddie Dunn as emcee, is heard Monday through Friday at 3:00 p. via WTJS-ABC. Thrilling! The thrilling bthlnd-lhe-scenes drama of every human frank, warm and exciting. The laughter and tears, the loves and problems of people of all generations. A complete story every day the only full-length daytime dramatic show on the air.

If different! EVERY MORNING 9:00) A. M. 1390 on Tour Dial WTJS American Broadcasting Company fill- Grammar School Singing Starts Star On Career From childish chirping in grammar school choral groups to the vocal spotlight with Paul Whiteman's orchestra on ABC's Forever Tops is a long jump and for Eugenie Baird it hasn't been an overnight pullman with a drawing room. It all began back in Pittsburgh, where the 21-year-old songstress was born. Perhaps it was the theatrical talk that Eugenie heard at home that first interested her in show business.

Her mother, Bird-ena, could speak authoritatively because she had been a singer. Several members of her father's family had been well-known vaudeville troupers, and sister Kay Marie, four years older, already had begun her career singing with local bands when Eugenie first desired to be a vocalist. While a student at Langley High School, she heard about an audition being held for a girl singer at KDKA in Pittsburgh. With high hopes she went to the station but there were so many other vocalists crowding the corridors that Eugenie left in despair. That evening, the studio telephone and a rather hurt individual who had heard that Eugenie had planned to audition, wanted to know why she hadn't and if she would.

Called back, Eugenie did audition and was immediately signed for a three-a-week radio program. Ambitious and determined to take a whirl at things more glamorous than singing in a glassed-in studio, Eugenie sent a record of her voice and her picture to bandleader Tony Pastor who was looking for a vocalist. She won the audition but soon switched over to the Jan Savitt orchestra. Her path later crossed that of her sister's quite diametrically and dramatically. Glen Gray held an audition for a girl singer and Eugenie's chief competition was Kay Marie.

Eugenie got the job. Still on the trail that led upward, she parted with Maestro Gray in November, 1944. This time it was a sizeable radio plum that fell into her lap. She won an assignment as Bing Crosby's singing partner for a whole season on the "Music Hall" radio program. Now Eugenie is with "Pops" Whiteman, having won her "umpteenth" audition this time over 50 other ambitious thrushes.

She is heard with the King of Jazz and his Forever Tops series over WTJS-ABC Mondays at 7:30 p. m. Five-feet-four, this slim, attractive brunette with hazel eyes and a cascade of jet black hair expresses her vitality in other ways than singing. She's fond of bicycling, horseback riding, tennis, swimming and golfing. ladies, Be Seated' Conduct Unusual Experiment An unusual experiment was conducted during WTJS-ABC's Ladies, Be Seated program recently when m.

c. Johnny Olsen informed WAC Sergeant Helen Thomas of Royal Oak, and Mrs. Charlotte Gamble of Columbus. that they were to participate in a measurement of their fitness as "good will ambassadors'" in international affairs. Behind a screen on the stage were seated representatives of five different nationalities.

The contestants were not allowed to see them, but each was permitted to ask one question concerning anything except name, race or nationality. From the representatives' answers and their voices, the ladies were to identify each unseen guest's nationality. Mrs. Gamble proved to be the most accurate. Representing South Africa, Brazil.

China. British West Indies 'and India in the contest were five residents of International House, an organization which houses foreign students attending school in New York City. Ladies. Be Seated is heard Monday through Friday at 2:45 p. m.

William Spier Is Director Of 'Sam Spade' Program The fast-paced action of WTJS-ABC's Adventures of Sam Spade belies the background of its producer-director. Wi'liarr Spier, who performs the dual function for the show, knows how to make a mystery drama come to life over the air in fact, he was chosen for the job by Dashiel Hammett personally, who observes; "Between us. Spier and I probably have killed as many people and solved as many mysteries as any other two men in our fields." With that recommendation and the record of Spier's radio work, his early activities are remarkable.

Spier started as a student of music and started so well that he became a member of the staff on the magazine "Musical America" at the age of 17. He remained with the publication for five years, becoming chief critic and associate editor at 18. When he decided to enter radio his advance was equally rapid.
