Folks Behind The Microphone I No matter what goes wrong with the program schedule or how often there is an unexpected gap to fill in the hopr-by-hour output of programs, the trio is ready to step in and supply good music until further notice. The trio is led by Olga Serlis, pretty, slender brunette with a wistful look and a tremendous amount of en- | ergy. If music is needed to balance & program of talks or sketches, the trio | s drafted. If a scheduled speaker is hurt in an accident and fails to show up, the trio takes care of the emergency. | The trio, in addition to Miss Serlis, | who is an_excellent pianist, includes | Christine Phillipson, violinist, and Ge- | nieve Hughel, cellist. Miss Phillipson ! came from Atlanta, Ga., and is a Juil- | liard scholarship winner. Miss Serlis, | a native of Chicago, was awarded the | Beethoven Gold Medal of the American | Conservatory of Music in Chicago. Miss Serlis not only directs the trio, but col- | lects and rearranges every bit of music | played by her orchestra, makes personal | appearances and conducts rehearsals at_every spare moment. Her hobby is | collecting Slavonic and Hungarian mu- sic, and she has introduced many for- gotten melodies to radio listeners. Gypsy airs, too, are popular with the trio. ‘The trio is one of the veteran groups on the air and was organized more than five years ago.

Buy a Home With GOVERNORS CLASH OVER COTTON CURB Long of Louisiana and Ster- ling of Texas Exchange Verbal Blasts. By the Associated Press. AUSTIN, Tex., September 5.—A heat- ed verbal exchange between neighboring Governors—Ross S. Sterling of Texas and Huey Long of Louisiana—held the interest today of thousands of planters who are seeking to curb cotton pro- duction in 1932 through legislation. Apparently angered by a remark of Gov. Sterling that “Gov. Long is not running Texas,” the or, sponsor of the Long “No 1932 cot. ton” plan, replied in a radio address at Baton Rouge last night: “No, I'm not, but I wish he (Sterling) was.” Gov. Sterling at his home near Houston remained silent on the ques- tion of whether he would call a special session to cope with the cotton regu- lation problem. Representative J. B. Ford, however, issued a statement saying the executive had asserted in a telephone conversa- tion with him that figures given out by J. B. McDonald, commissioner of iculture, relative to Senate support of the special session were incorrect. Commissioner McDonald in & state- ment yesterday said the Governor had agreed to summon & special session after 17 Senators promised to support a cotton curbing plan. McDonald said 19 had agreed to such a plan. juoted the Gov- of the State's Representative Ford ernor as saying only 1 - | 31 Senators had expressed themselves | to him and that there were not enough | definite replies in that group.

By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, September 5—Bar- ney Dempsey, 49, ‘brother of Jack, for- mer heavyweight boxing champion, died Thursday after an sttack of acute in- digestion. Barney ted the Man- hattan Gymnasium here and handled Jack's local business when the latter was not in Los Angeles. To Fulfill Contracts. PORTLAND, September 5§ (#).—Jack Dempsey, grief-stricken at the death of his brother Barney, yesterday in Los Angeles, announced he would fulfill all immediate boxing exhibition contracts, including one at Eugene, Oreg., tonight. “My first impulse to call every- thing off,” Jack said, “but it would not be fair to the promoters, who have gone to great expense, nor to the goople who have laid plans to see the exhibitions.” Dempsey will meet Jimmy Byrnes, Marshfield, Oreg., in the four-round exhibition in Eugene. After watching Dempsey fight at Ab- erdeen, Wash., last night, Leo Lomski announced he had decided to withdraw from a four-round exhibition bout with the ex-champion at Reno Monday. “‘Of course I realize it would be no disgrace to_be knocked out by Jack Dempsey,” Lomski said, “for it is my opinion that even at this early stage of | his comeback campaign he looks ready | and able to knock out any man that | will stand up and fight him. However, I would rather that man be some one other than Leo Lomski.” All Conveniences $7,650 Sample House, 1837 Bay St. S.E. Salesman on Premises Daily Until ® P.M. bath 3 "l and” showers .
