PHIIPHEEY Good evening, everyone. This is Pat Burke speaking for Whitely and Company. Today, Iune 20, 1948, marks the date of the inauguration of a new series of broadcasts featuring the comments of Ann Callahan, noted news commentator, whose column appears daily in papers from coast to coast. This program will be presented every Sunday at this time by Whitely and Company, manufacturers of Whitely Soap. Whitely's is the scientific preparation formulated by Professors Lorraine Maxwell and Helen McGrath of Aloysia College. And now, here is Ann Callahan for Whitely's. Thank you, Pat Burke, and good evening. ladies and gentlemen. This week witnessed the occurrence of many important events. Without further ado I shall begin my column. ln the nation's capital, Iersey City, Senator Barbara Zack's Supreme Court Revision Act went into effect. The result was the appointment of Walter Clossey, Iames Weldon, Aloysius Stewart, Edward Morrissey, and Francis Kelly as new Iustices. Representative Iohn F laherty's bill, which lowers the age qualifications for the office of President, also passed Congress early this week. Immediately afterward, Postmaster-General Walter Keogh announced the nomination of Paul I. McGeady as the City Hall Party's Candidate for the 1948 presidential election. Mr. McGeady, an attorney with a fine record is a strong candidate. However, it appears that the election this year will be a close one, for Thomas Muldoon, Chairman of the National Fusion Party announced to-day that I. I. Kelly, long prominent in political circles, will be that party's candi- date. Paul McKenna, recently appointed ambassador to France. sails for Paris to-morrow on the S. SKAMERICA to take up his duties there. Aboard this same ship will be Secretary of the Treasury Francis X. McCarthy, who has been asked to balance the French budget: Art Healy, American Tennis Champion, who intends to compete in the Wimbledon championships: Claire Sidler, feature writer assigned to the Wimbledon post by Amalgamated Press: and Eileen Hewitt and Iean Schiffer, who will resume their History and English classes at Oxford University. The victorious American Olympic team returned from Rome to-day. Among the arriving notables were Pat McLaughlin, Regina Iarmicki, Lucille Carroll, Bob Burke. Pat McNamara, and Bob Koenig ll: 'I'IlIl1933 - - - '- Page Fzfly-eighl

In New York City, a small suburb of Hoboken, Kathryn Haubert and Dorothy Donnelly, both correspondents of Iersey City Gazette, tied for the first place in a typing contest yesterday, each having typed 249 words per minute, which score broke the former world record by 37 words. It is rumored that Congresswomen Margaret Moeller and Virginia Kennedy will attempt to rush their bill, which provides for the installa- tion of one tank of tropical fish in every American home, through Congress in the closing moments of this session, next Thursday. This bill is said to have the full support of Speaker of the House, Alice Kenney. Vivian Quinn scored a scoop in Science News this week, when she broke the news that Professor I. Fergus McFarland, B. S.. of Aloysia College has discovered a new planet which he has given the appellation, Vena Cava . Miss Quinn received this advance news through the aid of her friend, Helen White, secretary of the college. The Universal Club , a new enterprise sponsored by Thomas Sheehan, cinema magnate, opens tomorrow under the management of Marion Behnke and Teresa Gallagher. Among the celebrities expected at its Grand Opening ceremonies are Midge McLaughlin, star of the stage play. Wallis Regina : Mary Donovan, whose column, 'Tips on Temperance', in the Iersey Times has aided many: and Thomas F. X. O'Connor, President of Western Tele- graph, Inc. A feature of the show will be the dance team, Batho and Waters, who are booked for an exhibition of the latest craze. 'The Large Pome'. Now that I have completed the news section of my broadcast, allow me to suggest several good television programs of the week. There is, to begin with, the Tux Radio Theatre with Hollywood's greatest producer, George Cooney. The play tomorrow evening is to be the drama, 'Darkness', by Peggy Trodd and Peggy Quirk. The stars of the evening will be Edward Kenney, Marion O'Neill,.Robert Schroll, and Virginia Murphy. There will also be a guest appearance by Margaret Sherwood, fashion expert oi Schiaparelli, Inc. Tuesday evening we shall hear Bing Kraus' Daft Music Hall, announced by Ray Betz, with that home-spun philosopher I. P. Kelly, whose poem, 'On a Thumb-Tack', was wildly acclaimed by the citizens of Laurel Hill, Bing's special guest will be Tom Boyd, whose recent invention of the Geriometer, a new musical instrument which is a cross between a clarinet, piano, and drums, startled the world. Music will be supplied by Moo Mc- Cartin's 'Snazz' orchestra, with Miriam Downey as vocalist. On Wednesday evening, Anne Lefkowitz goes on the air for her five-hundreth consecutive broadcast. Anne is the star of the Movie Prevues series and has given an admirable account of herself in the past. George Martin, Editor of the magazine 'Audiet', will present her with the Award of Merit given by that magazine for the improvement of radio. AIAIYSIAN Page Fifty nine
