...authors missed three broadcasts, two when they went to Hollywood to make Check and Double Check in 1930, one when a general SOS silenced all stations. In response to a public demand, the last missing installment was published in newspapers. Gosden and Correll have broadcast twice from sickbeds, once from a booth at the Chicago Stadium when they were attending a prizefight. In their annual swings around the country to make personal appearances in cinemansions, Amos and Andy take to the air from their authors' dressing room...
During the Philharmonic's SOS drive (TIME, Feb. 5) there have been many protests against Toscanini's salary, rumored to be between $75,000 and $90,000 per season.

To the wallowing Madison went the Coast Guard destroyer Upshur which oiled the tossing water, convoyed the steamer at 1½knots into Norfolk 24 hours late. Debarking passengers sent up a great cheer for Captain Heath...
Eastern Air Transport's energetic publicity department last week made copy of the letters "ZAA." The letters are a radio signal, not new but not previously publicized. Flashed by an E. A. T. copilot to his ground station it means the opposite of SOS: "m at proper position, flying on schedule, nothing to report...
