ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Wythe Williams, news commentator, on Mutual at 8:00, E.S.T., with a rebroadcast to the West at 7:30, P.S.T., sponsored by American Safety Razors. The startling thing about Wythe Williams is that he does what other commentators don't — he predicts things that will take place in the future. He doesn't use a crystal ball or tell fortunes with cards, but he does seem to have private information from Europe which helps him to know what's going to happen before it happens. You may find him irritating, but you've got to admit he has often been right. Here are some of his news predictions that have come true: In August, 1939, as a guest on a Hobby Lobby program, Wythe told Lowell Thomas that Europe would be in another war by September 6. England and France declared war on Germany September 3. In June, 1939, he predicted that Russia and Germany would sign a non-aggression pact. This happened in August. On February 28, 1940, he said Denmark would soon be invaded — and it was, on April 8. Wythe won't tell how he gets his information from abroad, except that he has "certain sources" there and that some of the news comes to him by cable and wire, some by mail, some by telephone and some through personal contact. All this drives other reporters and news commentators crazy with curiosity and envy. Wythe may have organized his own newsgathering syndicate in Europe before he left there in 1936. He was sure then that there would be another war. Twenty-six years of being European correspondent for various New York papers had given him a knowledge of continental politics and diplomacy second to none. After his return to the United States he wrote a book, "Dusk of Empire," and became editor of the newspaper, Greenwich Time. His radio work started when a sponsor heard his prediction on the Hobby Lobby program and was so impressed he hired W the to be a commentator for him and put him on one of the biggest lists of stations ever assigned a news broadcaster. Wythe was born fifty-nine years ago in Meadville, Pa., and didn't become a reporter until several years after he graduated from college. In between, he worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad, leaving it to be a reporter on the Minneapolis Tribune. Skipping from paper to paper, it took him four years to work up to the New York World, and it was while he was on that paper that he went to Europe on a vacation. He arrived in London on the same day Edward VII died, and there was no more vacation. His paper cabled him to help cover the funeral, and his career as a European correspondent was begun. In 1913 Wythe married Viola Irwin, and they now have three sons, Wilbur, David Irwin, and Ian Wythe. The family lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, where one of their closest friends is Hendrik Willem van Loon, the well-known author. In fact, van Loon recently wrote a book called "Invasion," a fantasy dealing with Hitler's invasion of America, and played a rather grisly joke on Wythe by telling, in the book, of Wythe's death! SAY HELLO TO . . . ALISON SKIPWORTH — the veteran movie actress who recently joined the cast of Portia Faces Life, playing the part of Meg Griffin. "Skippy" is eccentric, and loves it. She hates making movies, but lived and worked in Hollywood for years. She hates to listen to the radio, but always keeps it on in her home. She dislikes children, but goes out of her way to see one. Once a reigning beauty of the London and New York stages, she now complains that she never made any money until she got old and ugly. Many years ago she and her English painter husband, Frank Skipworth, were separated, but they have never been divorced. 40 RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
