Findings...
...broadcast ... I have been put in a spot. I refuse to go on with the program unless the songs are cut out." Harassed Dell officials finally coddled Iturbi into going on with the program, putting the rest of the "Iloveyou" songs off to the end. Mollified, the muscular maestro-who used to be an amateur boxer and was interviewed as such last week by Sports Writer Cy Peterman of the Philadelphia Bulletin-seated himself at the piano, gave an account of the Rhapsody in Blue of the late George Gershwin,* which for technical brilliance and jazz feeling topped anything Gershwin...
