Phone 4600 for a WANT AD Taker EVENING TIMES, CUMBERLAND, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1950 TWENTY-FIVE Jay Flippen Returns For 'Summer Show By C. E. BUTTEBF1ELD NEW C. Flippen, one of network radio's, veterans, ceems to have turned himself into a permanent summer replacement. He's expected to do some more of it this season.

Jay, ex-Broadway but now Hollywood, has qualified on the radio lince the early thirties as a glib M.C. His forte has been the quiz show. In those days, he was a winter regular, but since his westward trek his network appearances have settled down into the summer show category. Hedda Hopper of Hollywood, who had a movie series three times a week on CBS in the prewar days, has been dickering with NBC for a. new network film commentary.

It had been planned to use her this month, but that has been put off untU'fall. Because ths program now is basically vision, Ted Granik's American for" um Is planning to stick to NBC-TV network relay cities when it goes on tour soon. While it also is on the radio, that transmission is a tape recording of the TV show relayed the next day. MBS doesn't plan to include any night games in its six-day-a-week schedule baseball play by play. Although this could be attributed to the fact the series bears the title of "Game Of The Day," the principal reason la there would be too much interruption of night network schedules.

As summer fill-in material for its Saturday night TV schedule NBC is planning to make use of top military bands in a typical weekend concert of the home town order.

and Official Defends Excess Payments Assistant Secretary of the Army Karl Bendet- said yesterday overpayments of $157,000,000 in servicemen's dependency allotments were "inevitable" under the wartime "get 'em paid" philosophy. Most of the overpayments either have been or will be recovered, Bendetsen assured a House Armed Services Subcommittee investigating Congressional charges of maladmin- istration, laxity and Communist infiltration in the Army's finance tenter at St. Louis. 'NEW disc jockey named Art Ford, who muses in English and sometimes his own version of French, all night on New York's Station WNEW, Is almost- unique in his fairly unusual nocturnal field. He broadcasts directly from a studio, which strikes me as reasonable and what radio pioneers originally had in mind.

For some reason, undoubtedly indicating an appetite for the gaudy, the inclination of all-night and even part-of-the-night disc jockies seems to be to set up microphones and recording turntables in some saloon, night club or restaurant thereupon to bring the gay flavor of said premises to folks stuck in the house. Whether this entirely satisfies the all night audience is a matter open to question, and I will not interpose any nasty insinuations, of my own on the subject. Whatever the taste of the insomniacs, the number of night club record spinners and gabfests is growing. First, and possibly pioneer anywhere in his very special field, is Jack Eigen, whose glib nasal tones de'corate Station WMGM's wavelength each morning from 1 until 4 o'clock. Eigen seems able to gather a representative collection of show folk from press agents to Jolson, which is about the gamut, and now is in his fourth year or so.

His mike and engineer and passel of records are arranged around the lounge, meaning the bar, of the Copacabana, where more spectacular things usually are on top two flights below. The number and importance of the guests he encourages to his microphone each night is almost appalling, but he gets them. Even Jolson, who is at personal odds with the club's management, drops by to devote an amazing amount of free time to his friend Eigen for which other, radio and stage producers would pay great sums. Bea Kalmus, only girl disc jockey, or spinster, of the collection, keeps the clientele diverted with sweet nothings mewed into her fans' ears! from a Manhattan lounge. Matter of fact, while MisS Kalmus is softly singing (accompanied by the records she spins) WMGM manages to have two programs going on under its initials; at the very same time the Eigen program from the Copacabana also is being aired over WMGM's FM facilities, shifting to AM after Miss Kalmus ends her nightly praise for everyone in sight.

Variety, the show business paper, calls Bea "the Elsie Dinsmore of the Deejays." Yes, and everyone loves Bea, too, so- there. NETWORK PROGRAMS Eastern Local Time.

"We climbed up to a slam with this hand, as you can see by the bidding.

We didn't make the slam, because West opened a diamond and East took the first two tricks. I said that Nortli had no right to carry the bidding single-handed to a slam. North said the slam would have been a cinch if I had held three aces; or the king of diamonds instead of the queen of diamonds with my actual hand; or even if the missing ace had been the ace of chrts rather than the ace of diamonds. He said also that even with the actual hand, I would have made the slam if West had VK982 84 11 1086 V74 10 9 5 1094 3 Dealer V65 AK63 VAQJ103 4 A86 N-S vuL South Weil North Esst 1 Pass 2 A Past 2N.T.»Pas» 4N.T.

opened a club Instead of diamond. "North claims that because ol all these considerations, the slam contract is reasonably sound. I made a number of statements In reply, chiefly to the effect that we had actually gone down and that I couldn't see the logic In bidding a slam when the opponents could and did take the first two tricks against us. "Who is right?" I nvust take the traditional peacemaker's attitude that there is a certain amount of right on both sides. It isn't fair to judge a hand completely by the results.

If you did, you'd have to say that North's bidding was excellent if West opened a club; but that North's bidding was terrible if West opened a diamond. Instead of bidding four no trump, North should have jumped to four hearts. By the jump to two spades he had already shown a very powerful hand. By jumping to Jour hearts at his second opportunity, North would show his excellent support for that suit. It would -then be up to South to try for slam if his- hand happened to be strong enough.

Obviously, South would bid a slam, by himself if he held three aces. Likewise, if South had two aces and the king of diamonds, he should bid the slam for himself. He couldi be quite sure that his partner had at least one ace for the jump takeout and a strong raise in hearts. In short, North should not have bid the slam himself. He should have told his story and then left it up to South to dec'cide whether or not he wanted to be in a slam.

Ll'L ABNER By AI C.pp Crabbing Season In State Tardy CRISFIELD, The crabbing season, which officially opened May 1, actually got underway just this week because of unfavorable, blustery weather. Last week, however, found thej crabbers out in force to place crab pots in preferred areas. Many watermen reported a very satisfactory catch. And with the weather warming up, the crabbers' catch this week was increasing daily. However, watermen disagreed today whether a main run of crabs is now 'on.

Some pointed out that crabs brought in to Chrisfield'packing houses had bright red tips to their claws, indicating that the big crab run has not yet begun. They said the run won't start until the tips of the claws change color. Other crabbers were not so sure. Most of them, however, were optimistic over the season, predicting a plentiful supply of crabs of fine quality. Crab picking houses here are working steadily and soon are expected to be employing a full capacity force of pickers.

In Siberia, late spring frosts are termed the "icy saint's days," according to the Encyclopedia Bri- tannicaj, COMC SAV U'U ABNER'S IN BETTER VJ4RN HIM 'BOOT A Ll'i.
