HOOVER MAKES HIT ON RADIO IN TALK FROM STORM-SWEPT TENT By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE J\ (A. P. Radio Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, July 19—In a | tiny tent high up in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, amid the | patter of rain and the rumble of thunder at 10:30 o'clock at night, Mrs. Herbert Hoover made her de- but at a nation-wide radio speaker. country to make a regular speech via the microphone, Mrs. Hoover's talk to the farm girls and boys of the nation on the 4-H club pro- |gram won her recognition as one of radio’s most capable speakers. Critical broadcast impresarios, who appraise President Hoover as a fair radio talker, describe his wife’s ini- tial performance as “extraordinary.” The voices of many women on the radio appear strained, unpleas- antly high pitched or theatrically affected, these critics say. They and listeners in general were im- pressed by the simple naturalness of her talk, her spontaneous en- thusiasm in the work of the farm youth and her obvious delight in the opportunity of having an “easy chair chat,” with them. The talk was broadcast from the President’s summer camp 100 miles | from Washington through WRC and a network of 30 NBC stations. Donning raincoat and hip boots, mile in the rain from the camp to the makeshift studio in the little tent. A half-hour before she talked, all communieation, including a direct wire from the microphone to WRC, First of the first ladies of the| the President’s wife walked a hait | t [} | i / 1 i ] between the camp and the outside |world was cut off. Agitated radio |engineers finally established a hook- jup with ‘Washington via Richmond. 'Outside the broadcasting tent, it was pouring rain and lightning |was flashing. Mrs. Hoover, they !said, was the least perturbed mem- }ber of the party. With her as she talked were Sec- retary Hyde, Dr. Joel T. Boone, the | President’s physician, Maj. C. C. Long of the marine corps and three radio men. Half a mile away in the camp cottage the President listened in on her talk. Unable to get WRC and other nearby transmitters he picked up the speech on a Chicago station. Mrs. Hoover made a previous ap- pearance before the microphone when she addressed the Daughters of the American Revolution in con- vention here. But she was un- aware at the time that her speech was being broadcast and only two stations carried it. 1 IMOOSEHEART WOMEN PICNIC AT AUK BAY After a short business meeting held last night, the "Women of Mooseheart Legion and their friends, numbering about 75, left Juneau and drove to the Auk Bay cannery {where, after being entertained and playing all kinds of enjoyable games, a delicious lunch was served.
