McCAULEY'S MADNESS Joe thrives on Dawn Patrol Joe McCauley's Dawn Patrol goes into its tenth year with the WIP deejay still going strong and still satisfied with the weird hours he's been keeping. In 1942, when Joe first took over this allnight music and news show, he was sure that he'd head back to daytime radio but fast. But 252,000 records later he's still working the graveyard shift with no complaints. Oddly enough, Joe's is one of the best-known voices in Philadelphia — which means that more people than you think stay up most of the night. Despite his popularity, though; most of his listeners have never seen him. "Just as well, too," Joe quips. A genial-looking man with a casual manner, Joe McCauley's schedule would give any self-respecting wife nightmares. His brunette wife, Roz, serves him breakfast at 11 P.M. — he gets lunch at four (at the studio) and dinner (at home) about the time most people are dashing off to work. Roz is pretty much used to the routine by now — and charges it up to slight madness in Mr. McCauley. He finds the family very cooperative for the most part, but still promises himself a soundproof attic where he can sleep — while his two very healthy youngsters play. Their names are Joey and Lyn, eight and five years old respectively. Philadelphia bred and raised, Joe made his radio debut in 1937 — ■ just two weeks after he was graduated from La Salle High School. Now thirty-three, Joe has built up a tremendous following for his show. What's more he's even gained weight on his topsyturvy schedule — but that's probably due to McCauley's madness. Dawn Patrol captain Joe McCauley climbs the ladder of disc success. 10
