Admiral Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham, who, as the British Royal Navy's Commander in Chief in the Mediterranean, has earned more fame in World War II than any other Admiral, has a peacetime rival in his younger brother, Alan Gordon Cunningham. Sir Andrew and Alan vie in growing the best flowers on their Hampshire estate, in catching the biggest fish, in telling the tallest tales. They even have rival dogs-Sir Andrew a Scotty, Alan an Airedale. Last week the younger Cunningham turned up as a rival in the honors of war as well: as Lieut. General Cunningham, commander...
Morris Bagby hired the finest artists but spared his audiences heavyweight music. Lurking behind the curtain, he gauged the applause; a number which did not get a great big hand never reappeared on his programs.

Since Sgt. Poutre gave Gimpy the job of instructing younger pigeons last fall, he has turned out 150 graduates, trained to fly back to the trailer lofts as straight as a crow.

That was hard on many a younger listener. Aside from hot record programs from independent stations, only reasonably warm music on the radio was the show called ASCAP on Parade, aired by an independent chain on Saturday night. Last week, officially because Producer Billy Rose was too busy with private matters to handle it, more probably because ASCAP was toying with compromise, ASCAP on Parade was withdrawn...
Contrary to the accusations that critics have aimed at schools and colleges for the defeatism and pacifism of youth. Dr. May placed the blame for the younger generation's difficulties and attitudes on the economic order in which they were brought up. He believes that vocational training would be of immense value to the country and that "the task of education is to teach people how to manage their anxieties and hold them in proportion to the realities of the danger...
