WILE'S TEN YEARS ON THE AIR A RADIO RECORD
In embarking this week upon his annual Summer leave of absence from the air, Frederic William Wile, Columbia's political analyst, hangs up a record in radio. With the close of his 193333 talks on "The Political Situation in Washington Tonight", which he will resume in the Fall, Wile concludes ten successive seasons before the microphone with the same topic and title.
It is believed no other speaker now before the broad¬ casting public can claim such an air background. This covers a span almost as wide as radio itself. Wile started his weekly political reviews in 1923 before chain and network programs existed. He began with the original WRC station in Washington conducted by the Radio Corporation of America before NBC was formed, and remained with the NBC until he joined Columbia in the latter's early days in March, 1929.
As a political commentator from Washington, Wile ranks as the pioneer, as he doubtless will also in connection with transAtlantic news broadcasting, in which he was first heard from the London Naval Conference in 1930.
Wile's recent Saturday night absences from the mike were occasioned by a bout with his dentiBt, which, he says, the doctor won by three out and one to go.
