...seasons back, conducts half-hour sessions Monday through Friday. Bishop Fulton Sheen holds forth on Tuesdays, New Jersey's Governor on Sunday, Beauty Consultant Richard Willis Monday through Friday; Fannie Hurst's Showcase follows Willis. Henry Morgan snarls at his sponsors Friday evenings. Actor Martin (The Rivalry) Gabel presides at a limping, 1½ hour discussion on Thursdays, will soon be replaced by Songsmith and Play Doctor Abe Burrows.
