Responsible for the Hollywood aspects of this experiment is a man named Vanda of CBS. CBS has invested $50,000 in a series of twelve try out shows (blanket title: Forecast) that it hopes will make hay when the summer doldrums are over. Last year, from a similar showcase, CBS sold Duffy's Tavern, now sponsored by Schick Magazine Repeating Razor Co. Besides Marlene's Scheherazade, other straw-hat sustainers this year will include Mischa Auer, Adolphe Menjou, Frank McHugh...
...hand at snaring such top-flight cinema talent for noncommercial rates is sharp-tongued, tapir-nosed Charles Vanda, 38, producer of Forecast. He also produces Lolly Parsons' Hollywood Premières and the Hollywood end of the U.S. Treasury's Millions for Defense.

Last December FPC forecast that the U.S. defense program would run into a 1,500,000-kilowatt power shortage in 1942. Even after substantial capacity expansions had been planned, its March estimate was an 800,000-kilowatt shortage next year. Now even more power-consuming aluminum plants are planned for defense (see p. 20). Droughts or no droughts, it looked last week as if the next big defense bottleneck might be power...
