WDBJ FEATURES CAMP PROGRAM Service Men To Star in Tuesday's Show The most outstanding feature to be presented over WDBJ and the Columbia Network during the week of June 7 will be the hour-long broadcast, "Cheers From the Camps," which will have its radio premiere on Tuesday evening, June 9, from 9:30 to 10:30. The program is unusual in that the men of America's armed forces will be the stars. The program has been designed as a contribution to theenational war effort, and is presented in cooperation with the War Department and the United Service Organizations. The program will be utilized to link our men in training in this country with their 1 homefolks. It will also give reports from the production line, reassuring our fighting men of an ever increasing stream of the implements of war from American workers and industry, for victory.

The entertainment has been designed to make use of the talents of many actors, musicians, writers, singers and composers now in the service. USO Head Lauds Program six months earlier. Vox Pop Parade Prescitt S.

On Saturday next a special broadcast from the Chinese capital will feature a talk by Madame Chiang Kai-shek, from 10:45 to 11 a. m. This afternoon, on "The Spirit of '42," Kate Smith will present the United States Navy band, with a special program designed to commemorate the attack on Pearl Harbor, just six months ago, to the day. It is particularly fitting that the Navy band broadcast this afternoon from 2:00 to 2:30, because the exact time of the attack on Pearl Harbor was 2:25 p. EST.

During the course of this afternoon's broadcast, the Navy band will be able to salute musically the many men of the States navy who laid down their lives for their country precisely at this hour and Warren Hull will the Vox Tomorrow night Paris.

The work, titled Idyll, is the result of the English-born musician's interest in Miss Brodsky's recent series of Sunday morning recitals on CBS in which she has been playing a work by a contemporary musician on each program and interviewing the composer. Particularly noted for his musical parodies and improvisations, the Welsh-born Templeton has appeared as soloist with many English and American orchestras and has given many recitals in the United States. David Ross Is Winner Of Prize For Picture David Ross, announcer on Phil Baber's "Take It or Leave It." won a blue ribbon award for a blackand-white abstract portrait he entered in the "Dressing Room Doodles" exhibit at the Society of Illustrators in New York City.

m. Many AEF men are given a chance to speak to the folks at home. TWAIN IS THEME FOR KOSTELANETZ Great Humorist to Be Honored on Program The historic Mississippi -so closely associated with the lives and works of Mark Twain and Jerome Kern-will be the major motif of Andre program over WDBJ at 4:30 o'clock. Kostelaneta', Conductor Kostelanetz, his 45- piece symphony orchestra increased to 59 members for the occasion, will present Kern's "Portrait of Mark Twain" in its radio world premiere to celebrate important anniversaries of the great author and the famous composer. Great things happened to both men at the age of 17 although a half century separated the events.

Ninety years ago, Twain--a stripling known only by his legal name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens -returned from boyhood wanderings to become a Mississippi pilot at Hannibal, his early home. Fifty years later when he also was 17. Kern composed his first song. Thus this year marks his fortieth anniversary as a composer. Although a native of New York City and composer of some of the most famous tunes introduced in the last 25 years, Kern's "Ol' Man River," a tribute to the mighty Mississippi, is regarded as an aria of operatic worth.

The "Portrait of Mark Twain" features four periods in the famed author's life--his early days in Hannibal, as a pilot, his start as a journalist, and his nostalgia in later life for both the river and pilot house. Kern, a retiring personnage, will introduce his latest masterpiece from Hollywood in one of his rare radio appearances. Despite personal objections to public appearances of any nature, the composer finally agreed to participate in the premiere out of deep personal regard for Kostelanetz and the honor being paid him. The Mark Twain number which runs 13 minutes causes a change in the format of the program. Instead of two or three vocal selections and a violin solo by Albert Spalding, the premiere will feature only Genevieve Rowe, popular coloratura soprano, singing a Strauss waltz.

An orchestration, "With A Song In My Heart," will open the program. Edward G. Robinson Has Indian Namesake Edward G. Robinson has enlisted in the army--but not the star of Columbia network's "Big Town." The Edward G. Robinson who has enlisted is a Hopi Indian of Arizona whose father admired the work of the movie-radio when he appeared in Broadway shows years ago.

The father, who was going to school in New York, named his son after Actor Robinson. The "Big Town" star has extended an invitation to the Arizona Robinson to visit a broadcast the first time he is in Hollywood. Major Finds Out How Quiz Program Works Major James H. Rothrock, of Mitchel Field, New York, visited CBS' "Take It or Leave It," he did SO to see how the Sunday program operated so he could set up proper facilities at Mitchel Field when the program visited there--but he had a surprise in store, No sooner was the major seated than his ticket number was called. and he went on the stage as contestant.

Complex into his corrugated corpuscles. For Bildad is back. Bildad, as almost anyone on the air can tell you, is that mysterious, self -appointed carping critic of radio, who post barbed critiques to -known a personalities of the airlanes. He spares no network no station, no broadcasting nabob.

Some of his criticisms are sound, many of them petty, most of them vituperative, slew of them utterly ridiculous. His caustic cards bear no other signature than "Bildad," and always wind up with the warning: "Be very careful! Bildad is listening!" Until recently, Bildad hadn't been heard from in months. But now he's on the job again. Shady Valley Folks The corn is going to be very green these afternoons on WSLS-Mutual, when the broadcast of its new St. Louis Hillbilly Series, "Shady Valley Folks," gets under way.

The program is heard Monday's through Fridays at 3:30 p. started last week, and features a carload of veterans from popular midwestern barn dance shows. Heading the alfalfa alumni will be the Original Buckeye Four, Naomi Crawford, a hillbilly from Michigan avenue, Chicago, and banjoist Smoky Rogers, a Tennessee importation. AEF in Britain The wide-awake staff of the British Broadcasting corporation in New York city, headed by Lindsey Wellington, cooked up the idea that ultimately bloomed into WSLS-Mutual's newest service program, "Stars and Stripes in Britain." Wellington sensed the anxiety of families of the AEF soldiers stationed abroad, cabled the BBC in London, suggested that a program be built for American listeners to detail the activities and emotional reactions of our service men in London and other parts of the British Isles. London made two false starts, then made a third try that turned out just right.

About that time Mutual asked BBC in New York if they would furnish the network with programs featuring members of the AEF. It was a happy coincidence. BBC immediately sent Mutual the program they had worked out. This shortwave audition show proved a smash hit with Mutual executives. Mutual pounced on it, offered it as the curtain-raiser of its new "Stars and Stripes in Britain" series, heard last Sunday.

Ben Lyon and Bebe Daniels, emcees of the new show, had just concluded a series of service programs called "Hi Gang." This show had the highest rating in the British Isles, and on completion of the series BBC put these two popular Americans on the "Stars and Stripes" series, heard over approximately 150 stations in the United States.

Herman has been the "darling little duckie," has never before known what it means to be out in the cold. He will go through all of the torments of being the ugly duckling while George and Gracie make a fuss over the new little gosling. Paul Whiteman and Bill Goodwin are also on hand to coo and make a fuss over the new little fellow, which also adds to Herman's discomfiture. CZECH MUSIC Rudolf Firkunsky, brilliant young Czech pianist, and Jan Masaryk, vice premier and foreign minister of the Czech government in exile, will be guest when the Columbia Broadcasting symphony presents a program of Free Czechoslovakian Music over CBS and WDBJ from 3 to 4:30.

Firkunsy, who has been heard several times in recent months on Columbia, left his native land after the outbreak of war, managing to take with him only as many of his possessions as could be carried in a small suitcase. He will play two solos, both by Smetana, first and greatest of Czech nationalist composers. The compositions are Souvenior de Boheme and Polka. ST. LOUIS OPERA Stars of the St.

Louis Opera company will appear in the second of that company's series of Sunday afternoon recitals over WDBJ and CBS from 1:35 to 2.

In view of the recent bombing of Cologne and other German industrial centers, and the resentment of the German people against the importation of forced foreign labor to replace the home workers, who have left for the Russian and Libyan fronts, this hard-hitting documentary program provides a timely picture of the current plight of the German wage earner. Scripts for the series are prepared by Bernard C.

Schoenfeld, Chief of radio for the K. Telford, production director of the OEM's radio section, is the director. CBS Boosts Letters For Men In Service Under the Motto, "This Nation Can Produce Substitutes for Everything But Letters from Home," CBS instituted a novel "keep in touch" plan for its men in the services. A letter was mailed to all ex-CBS employes asking them for news and a picture. Nearly all the 125-odd men responded, and the letters were edited and complied by CBS Publicity Man Jack Hoins into an eight-page round-robin letter.

The letter, along with a page of the pictures sent in, was then mimeographed and remailed to the man in uniform. This way, many of the ex-CBS employes who would normally lose track of each other are able to keep posted on what's happening to their friends. It 15 planned to make the round-robin a monthly affair, Burns Returns To His "Arkansas Traveler" Bob Burns, the sage of Van Buren, Arkansas, has brought his famous "Arkansas Traveler" characterization back to his Tuesday night Columbia network show.

The program will consist answers from prominent Britons to questions submitted by Americans on the use of agricultural products sent to the British Isles under the lend-lease plan. VICTORY PARADE Roanoke's "Victory Parade," heard over WSLS Sundays at 1:30 p. is gaining headway with each Sunday's broadcast. Last Sunday the total of war bonds pledged while the program was on the air amounted to $2,300, bringing the total subscribed by telephone through the program to $5,525.

A record month is expected in June, as Roanoke's quota has been raised to a point which makes every listener more and more conscious of the 10 per cent of salary request of the United States government in war bond purchases to finance our armed forces. MUSIC TO PLEDGE TO FLAG CATCHES Harry Salter's Composition Wins Favor Quite frequently, Dale Elman's "Hobby Lobby," (WDBJ Saturdays, 8:30 p. 1 m. EWT) presents a hobby that quickly catches the fancy of the nation and succeeds in establishing a new milestone in the cultural life of the country. Last month Dave introduced his close friend, and conductor of the "Hobby Lobby" orchestra.

Harry Salter, as a guest hobbyist. Harry discussed his spare-time activity of rendering patriotic pledges and bits of Americana into music. And therein lies the story of a man-sized hobby. his early youth, Harry--an emigrant from Rumania--never quite fully understood the meaning of the words "A Pledge To The Flag." He discovered that most of his school chums went through the same difficulty. After Pearl Harbor, he realized that everything possible should be done to make school children understand the fullest meaning of those stirring words.

This year--because it is the 50th anniversary of the writing of the allegiance pledge--Harry sat down and composed a musical setting for it. Elman heard of his friend's hobby and invited him to appear as guest rather than musical conductor of "Hobby Lobby." Harry readily accepted, organized a number of neighborhood children into choral group and thereby created a new and vibrant medium for the delivery of this pledge. The tribute went over the top. Nor was that the end of "Salter's Setting to The Pledge." Representatives of schools, patriotic clubs, societies, flooded Elman's offices with requests for permission to use the song. The Treasury Star Parade built a fifteen minute sketch around it.

And the crowning honor came when a group of nationwide educators asked permission for its use in schools as part of the Memorial and Flag Day celebrations. Another instance of a hobby performing a practical, democratic function! Story- Finds Sister Severe Critic Milton Bacon, who tells stories of the American small town scene on CBS' "God's Country," hasn't seen or talked with his older sister, Mrs. Mable Ireland, for 31 years. She lives in Pasadena, and Bacon, through all his travels, has always missed her whenever a reunion was possible. But because of a remark in a recent letter from his sister, after hearing one of his broadcasts, Milton has decided 1 he hasn't changed much.

"You sounded." his sister wrote, "just like you used when you were playing out in the old wash house back home in Missouri, almost 50 years ago." Robinson Pays Actor To Rib Elliott Lewis Elliott Lewis, CBS "Big Town" actor, was the victim of a "rib" engineered Edward G. Robinson recently. After the broadcast a man came backstage, introduced himself to Lewis as an authority on foreign languages, then proceeded to criticize Lewis for his pronunciation of German words in the show. But when the debate became torrid, Robinson relented and admitted the fellow was a professional "ribber." SHOW'S HOUR CHANGED The Army show, "Camp Grant In Review" will be heara Mutual every Wednesday at 2:30 p. m.
