TAYLOR T ADVSE .. ON MLSE Composer to Assist With Co-ordinating Several Broadcast Series. COLUMB!A today announced the appointment of Deems Taylor, American ccmposer, critic and journalist, as its eonsultant on music. It will be Taylor's job %o assist and advise Columbia’s program de- partment in co-ordinating its schedule of serious music during the 1936-7 season, and in presenting under the most favorable conditions the great variety of symphonie, choral, vocal and instrumental features. Columbia officials feel that Taylor's intimate knowledge of the radio listener’s likes and dislikes and his own rich background of musical knowledge, eminently qualify him for the new post. Taylor's appointment followed an announcement by Columbia that at least five of America’s finest symphony orchestras will be featured over its coast-to-coast network each week dur- ing the coming season. In addition, there will be two symphony orches- tras from famous conservatories of music, two series of children’s con- certs by symphony orchestras and an impressive series of broadcasts by na- tionally known vocalists, pianists and chamber music organizations, 'WJ in Detroit, is celebrating ¢ seven days of special programs, marking the opening of its new studios. The guests include Ethel Barrymore, Walter Hampden, Jessica | Dragonette and Fred Waring. The special programs also are being transmitted by W8XWJ on 948 meters. 'HE “March of Time,” which will g0 off the air September 25, is scheduled to return October 15, in its original form as a weekly 30- minute broadcast. The original sponsors, and not a chewing gum manufacturer, will pay the bill. The same network of Columbia stations now carrying the series will be used for the new programs. DITH DICK is the name of that mysterious singer who has been providing the vocal interludes during the “Hit Parade” broadcasts on both N. B. C. and Columbia for eight months. Owing to the policy of the sponsor, her name cannot be an- nounced on the programs. She is a tall, slim attractive blond from Birmingham, Ala. SL'VEN of Arthur Godfrey’s “Sun Dial” listeners write to protest against his attempts to sing with Hugh Conover instead of giving them “real” music. One letter said: “God- frey and Conover should stick to an- nouncing. After hearing them the other morning trying to sing ‘The Bird in the Gilded Cage,’ I gave my radio set to a neighbor five blocks away.” DDIE CANTOR is heralding his return to the air Sunday by sending newspaper radio editors a life- size cardboard likeness - of himself dressed in the garb .ef a gasoline station attendant. * The comedian’s new series will eoriginate in Hollywood and be aired over the Columbia network. A varied group of entertainers will assist him. ‘ECONOMIC SLAVERY’ ASSAILED BY LEMKE Must Change Present System, Union Candidate Says in Clos- ing Pacific Tour. By tre Associated Press. SPOKANE, Wash., September 15.— Representative William Lemke of North Dakota, presidential candidate of the Union party, said last night danger lay ahead “unless we change the present system of economic slavery.” He asserted in an address here that the Union party was the “only solution” for the Nation's “war egainst man-made depression.” Closing his Pacific Coast tour with an address to Spokane voters in which he outlined the reasons for the birth of the Union party and his own can- didacy for President, Lemke said: “The Union party is a party of the common people. It is the party of the common-sense people. I want to urge all Americans in this campaign to disregard party affiliations. For your own protection and for the preserva- tion of this democracy for your chil- dren, I urge you to support only such candidates as you know will drive the money changers out of the temple. “This Government is yours. This fight is not my fight, it is not the fight of the Union party—but it is your fight. “If you will co-operate with us, not only passively but actively—not only today but.every day until November, a great victory will be ours. Do not sleep at the switch, do not permit yourself to be again deceived as you have been deceived in recent years by vague and misleading promises. onoot Tuesday, September 15.
