' I Angeles, ' ON THE AIR TONIGHT: The World Today, on CBS at 6:45 P.M., E.S.T.— fifteen minutes of news coming to you direct from whatever world capitals are most important at the time of broadcasting. Sit in Paul White's office at Columbia Broadcasting System headquarters in New York and watch how The World Today is put on the air, and you'll soon be convinced that it is radio's most fascinating program. Sit at home and listen to it, and you'll find that it's an important supplement to the news you read in your papers and the individual news broadcasters. Here is how London, Berlin, Rome, or Washington are brought into your living rooms with split-second timing and clear reception. Last Wednesday Paul White, who is CBS' Director of Special Events, sat down with his assistant, Bob Wood, and made out a schedule for tonight's program. From their expert knowledge of world events, they guessed what cities should be heard from tonight. They allotted a certain number of minutes and seconds to their correspondents in each city, and then cabled the schedule of the broadcast to them. Here is part of such a schedule: "6:45:00-6:46:30, New York opening and introduce Berlin. 6:46:30-6:50:00, Berlin and William L. Shirer. 6:50:006:50:10, New York introduce London." If, sometime between last Wednesday when the schedule was cabled to the correspondents abroad and early this afternoon, a big news story should break in some other part of the world, CBS can hastily revise the whole program, again by cable. About 6:35, ten minutes before The World Today goes on the air, Paul White flips on the short-wave radio by his desk and hears Berlin calling New York. Then he tunes in Rome, and finally London. The latter city is the only one with which he can carry on a conversation, and while Berlin is on the air during the first part of The World Today, White is usually chatting with Edward Murrow in London. Their conversation, carried on via microphone and loud-speaker, is casual and friendly. They aren't impressed any longer by the adventure of having their voices cross so many miles. The European war has had one surprising effect on long-distance radio broadcasting. It created a demand for frequent use of short-wave facilities, so engineers, through much practice, have discovered the most favorable wave-bands for successful transmission. It's rare indeed now that the networks have to apologize because a foreign broadcast can't be heard plainly. The New York portions of The World Today come from a studio with so many windows around it that it's practically glass-walled, next door to the CBS news room, where tickers clatter away busily at all hours. Across the hall is Paul White's ofRce, also with big windows arranged so he can see into the news room and into the broadcasting studio. Busy executives hav* always wished they could be in three places at once; these windows and his desk microphone bring Paul White close to achieving that ambition, since without leaving his desk he can see and talk to people in the news room or the studio. 46 SAY HELLO TO . . . PHILIP REED — the dark and handsome movie actor who now is heard as Russ Barrington in the CBS serial. Society Girl. Phil first dreamed of a theatrical career when he was the No. 1 athlete of Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn. He left college after a year of it and joined a stock company, working up from there to New York stage jobs and a Hollywood contract, which he quit to play in "My Dear Children," with John Barrymore. Phil's real name is Milton LeRoy, which Hollywood changed. He's studied the violin for ten years, without playing it in public once. RADIO AND TELEVISION IVIIRROR
