25 MUSICAL COMEDY HITS TOHEAD WRC International Airways Pres- entation Will Be One of New Features Tonight. The usual mid-week collection of ¥adio attractions from the major portion of the programs tonight of Washing- ton's broadeasting stations. Several new features will be introduced, owever, one of-which, called the International Airways Presentation, will come over WRC. The Palmolive hour, the Mediterra- weans, the Ipana Troubadours and Fred- 'eric Willlam Wile, veteran radio political analyst, will prove.the main features of WRC. WMAL will depend heavily on the Columbia Broadcasting Systom_for its Jeading attractions, which include the Music Room, the Columbians, N. R. Millionaires, the La Palina Smoker, the Kolster broadcast and Night Club Ro- mances. ‘The spirited strains of the entr'acte music of Bizet's opera “Carmen” will be a symphonic highlight of the Palm- our. The entire program, how- will be one of lilting music, sing some of the latest musical comedy hits as well as a generous selec- tion of old favorites. Among these are Strauss’ “Valse Scherzo” and “Macush- 1a,” to be sung as tenor solos by Paul Oliver, and “Charmant Oiseau” and “Russian Nightingale,” o be sung as soprano solos by Olive Palmer. “Man- hattan Madness” and “I Wanna Be Ioved by You” will be the sprightly numbers of the Revelers. The Troubadours will revive for their featured presentation the old favorite, “‘Waiting for the Robert E. Lee.” Music from Eddie Cantor’s latest success, “Whoopee,” will be included in the program. Vocal solos will be the chief contri- bution of the Music Room period over ‘WMAL. These will consist of & soprano aria from “Rigoletto”; Brahms' famous “Staendchen,” sung as a contralto solo, and “Sound an Alarm,” from Handel's “Judas Maccabeus.” The Music Room String Quartet will open and close the program with two movements from Schubert's “String Quartet in E Major.” A rhythmic version of the famous *Tannhauser,” overture will be the piece de resistance of the Columbians Orches- tra, which is specializing in jazzing up symphony music and putting symphonic interpretations into jazz. Gay tunes and popular melodies will be offered by the N. R. Millionaires, while the La Palina Smoker will feature the original Hill Billies, singers of Kentucky moun- tain folk lore. The Kolster program will be musical. WOL's outstanding offering tonight will be a two hour dance program by the Wardman Park Orchestra. WISV is lArmy Band, and a 45-minute program by the Manassas Trio. SLAIN GIRL'S CLOTHES THOUGHT DEATH CLUE Balt Lake City Police Hunt Gar- ments of Attack Victim, Killed New Year Eve. featuring an hour's concert by thel By the Assoclated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, January 2.—The That, shoes and galoshes worn by June Nelson, 12, who was kidnaped and slain New Year eve, were the object ‘of an iextensive search here today as & possi- ble link to the identity of the murderer, who attacked the girl before strangling her to death. Scores of police and dep- ‘uties continued the hunt for the killer. Those articles were ‘when the mdy of the schoolgirl was found yester- Yy, any submerged in a shallow canal on the outskirts of the city, and a painstaking search for them in the Vicinity was unavailing. . A pair of child’s gloves found in a stolen automobile parked near a bridge crossing the canal could not be identi- fied by Mrs. Charles H. Nelson as those of her daughter, despite the fact that it was believed June's kidnaper used the car. Four suspects, including an ex-con- wict who had served terms for attacking girls in this vicinity, were grilled at olice headquarters yesterday, but all ‘were released when officers stated their iconviction that the men knew nothing of the crime. ACTOR’S SLIDE DOWN FIRE POLE IS FATAL Broadway Thespian Falls Trying to Make It Part of New Year Celebration. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 2—The death of an actor after an attempt to slide down the brass pole in a fireholise re- pulted today in investigation of charges hat a New Year party had been held the building, contrary to law. Fire department officials denied there had been any celebration at the West Fifty-eight street firehouse and re- Yused to discuss reports that three wom- len had attended a party on the third #floor of the building. Firemen said the actor, Norman St. Clair Hales, who was playing a minor role in a Broadway show, had called to extend New Year greetings. After his fall, he walked from the firehouse and dropped dead a short distance eway. A fireman who tried to pre- vent him from going down the pole piso fell, but escaped injury.

RADIO INDUSTRY SETS §730,000,000 Broadcasting Represents Second Largest Capital Turnover in the Business. BY MARTIN CODEL. World radio may be a billion-dollar industry or greater, but American radio | has some distance to go to achieve that record. Although the United States is far the largest user of radio in prac- tically all its phases, the best estimates that can be adduced from data avail- able place the annual turnover of the whole American industry at around | $750,000,000. American radio derives the bulk of its income from the production and sale of radlo sets, tubes and equipment. The retail turnover of the year just ended was somewhat in excess of $512,000,000, according to the radio division of the National Electrical Manufacturers’ Association. This represents virtually all the pro- duction and distribution of home radio equipment, and out of this figure a pay roll of something over 300,000 per- sons is met. The estimate is based on an analysis by the “Nema” of radio retail statistics, compiled quarterly by the Department of Commerce. The figure of 300,000 persons in the factory and sales end of radio is an estimate derived from a Department of Commerce statement that about 350,000 persons are em-= ployed in all branches of radio in this country. Broadcasting represents the second largest capital turnover in the industry. It is unofficially estimated—for there have been no actual surveys—that less than 100 of the 600 or more broad- casting stations in the United States spend up to $100,000 annually for up- keep, which includes programs and per- sonnel. Double the probable aggregate, or $100,000,000, is spent by the leading stations, and a generous allowance is made for the many smaller stations. In this broadcasting estimate of about $200,000,000 it would be fair to include the upkeep of the great chain systems, which probably spend around $15,000,- 000 a year altogether. The only actual figures available here are those cited by M. H. Aylesworth, president of the Natjonal Broadcasting Co., in his recent broadcast account of his 1928 steward- ship of the largest of the network organizations. Mr. Aylesworth said the N. B. C. programs last year cost $5,000,- 000 for talent and $2,000,000 for tele- phone wires, besides the payroll of & staff of 600. Radio communications income pales by comparison. The Radio Corporation of America in its annual report showed a gross of around $5,000,000 from its communications services, by far the country’s largest. All the other wireless systems together would not approach this figure, relatively small as it is. The foregoing estimates omit entirely sales of radio apparatus to builders of new_stations, who are relatively few. CONCERT ORCHESTRA Tune in Tonight on WMAL—10 P.M. An outstanding program of Chamber Masic compose By the Masie Masters of the world. “Kolster: i8 @ fine set” and to amateurs, who are very numer- ous, but whose are small. They also leave out of account pur- chases of equipment by the various Government services, such as the Army and the Navy, whose radio budgets run into millions annually. No consolidated figures are available for this part of the market, but it is doubtful whether it is much more than $50,000,000 in the aggregate. It is estimated that the power com- panies are deriving a revenue of at least $12,000,000 annually from the sale of ‘current incident to operating the million alternating current sets that have gone on the market since later than 1927. Only about half this amount is actually from current sales; the re- mainder represents increased consump- tion of electricity due to the fact that people stay at home more and remain awake later to listen to the radio. This figure, of course, must be considered entirely apart from the radio industry’s own turnover. R *—— One of the amazing things about the radio development is that it apparently has not drawn its income from other amusement enterprises, legitimate theater and the movies. Nor has the phonograph industry suffered from the radio. The latter's business has actually increased very substantially in these last five or six years since the ownership of radio receiving sets be- came commonplace.
