PRALL TO ANNOUNCE FIRST AWARDS OF WOMAN'S RADIO COMMITTEE
The first set of awards to be offered annually by the Women's National Radio Committee for the best commercial and sustaining programs will be announced by Commissioner Anning S. Prall, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission over both the WABC-Columbia network and the NBCWJZ network tomorrow (Wednesday) at 3:00 o'clock P.M. EST.
The W.N.R.C. is composed of representatives of a large number of national women's organizations with a total membership of approximately ten million. The opinions of all the affiliated groups were sought in choosing the commercial and sustaining broadcasts to receive the awards. Through a process of elimination a selected list of programs was obtained and submitted to a distinguished committee representative of the theatre, music, art and women's activities.
In all there will be four awards two to the best sustaining programs and two to the best commercial features.
Of the two awards in each class, one will be given to the best musical program and one to the best non-musical type.
The decisions will be made by a judging committee headed by A. Walter Kramer, editor of Musical America.

A BUSY GUY
So many positions are being created at the Federal Communications Commission, and so many executives and employees being added at fancy salaries for people with any special qualifications that it is getting to be a difficult matter to find out what everyone does.
"What does that fellow do" a hard working and depend¬ able official of the FCC was asked, when a very important looking individual with an imposing title poked his head in the door at the Commission.
"Nothing" was the more or less disgusted reply. "Absolutely nothing. "
All applicants continue to clear through Farley.
