If Martha Brown had known he was really on the Repulse it would have been a thousand times worse, because the Repulse sank almost at once, while the Prince of Wales stayed afloat for a considerable time. The blonde and attractive young wife of Cecil Brown, ace CBS correspondent in the Far East (that's her picture above, with Cecil's photograph beside her) , can talk about those ten hours of dreadful uncertainty now. But they were nerve-racking enough to keep her in bed, suffering from shock, for three days after news came through that Cecil had survived the sinking of the Repulse and had brought with him one of radio's greatest scoops — an eye-witness report of the disaster. Martha Brown knows there will be more hours — maybe days — of worry about her husband's safety, but she faces them with calm courage. "Cecil's work is dangerous," she admits, "but it's also important. It's important to him and to the people of America. As long as he is doing a good job, nothing must be allowed to interfere with him." Martha and Cecil were married in Rome in 1938. They'd known each other for a good many years before When they said her husband was on the sinking ship she managed to keep calm — until later news came through . . . 4 46 that, in Columbus, Ohio, where Martha was born and Cecil went to college. It was love all the time, but they were both young and knew they could afford to wait for marriage. Then, when Cecil was the CBS correspondent in Rome, Martha went to Europe for a five-week vacation. It was three years before she came back to America, because Cecil met her at the train in Rome, they decided they'd been separated too long, and were married on the spot. Cecil was expelled from Italy early in 1941 because the Fascists didn't like what he said about them on the air. Because he and Martha believed the United States would soon be in the war, he asked her to return to New York, while he went on East, eventually landing in Singapore, where his headquarters are now. Martha hated to leave him, but she did, true to her creed that nothing must stand in the way of his work. Now Martha lives in New York, separated from her husband by half the world. Mail and cable services are so uncertain that almost her only communication with him is one-sided, when she listens to his broadcasts on CBS. She has found a way to keep busy and help in the war effort at the same time, by getting a job with a firm which purchases most of the supplies for the Egyptian Government. She could have gone home, of course, to her parents in Ohio. But somehow she feels closer to Cecil in New York, near CBS headquarters. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
