He ini Radio News Service 8/14/46 STATE DEPT. STEPS OUT WITH 24 FOREIGN SHORT-WAVE PROGRAMS Programs In 24 languages are shortwave d by the Interna¬ tional Broadcasting Division of the Office of International Informa¬ tion and Cultural Affairs, the State Department announces. Programs include news, special features, music, and dramatizations of Ameri¬ can science, industry, the arts and government. A special feature, "Radio University", started in Italian, is now broadcast in Polish also. On this program American scient¬ ists discuss such varied topics as agricultural experiments abroad to listen to the programs and then discuss them. It is hoped that these programs can be extended soon to other countries in Europe and Latin America. World wide broadcasts from Hunter College Gymnasium of the sessions of the United Nations Security Council have been another feature of OIC* s radio activities. William T. Stone, Director of OIC, speaking at a recent conference of the Institute for Education by Radio said, "Just as domestic radio plays a leading role in developing good American citizenship, international radio can help in building good world citizenship. " xxxxxxxxx MBS AXES BANDLEADERS WHO YAMMER; NO MORE YELLS Yelling and whistling by ballroom hepcats when any Holly¬ wood dance band starts playing its theme song, and other forms of synthetic enthusiasm, along with announcers who fancy themselves as comics "without wit or script" have been ruled off the Mutual net¬ work, it was recently announced. Charles Bulotti, Jr., Program Director of the Mutual Don Lee broadcasting system, has forbidden band leaders themselves to "yammer yammer" into the mike. Further, there will not be more than three fifteen second credits in a half hour show and opening themes are not to exceed forty-five seconds. Mr. Bulotti said "a dance remote is not a fun show, it does not have the humor, name value or importance of alarge studio show. It shounds ridiculous to hear screaming and yelling just because a band starts playing its theme song. It definitely does not make the remote point rise to a higher level. It does make the ballroom or dance hall sound like a noisy saloon filled with bawdy characters in¬ tent on drowning out the music. " xxxxxxxxxx 13
