Description:
The official magazine of Kansas City's WHB radio station, SWING printed far more than the station's schedule (which, as the title SWING suggested, relied heavily on music). From 1945 to 1953, SWING offered readers something eclectic every month -- profiles of entertainers on one page, discussions of citizenship in the postwar world on the next, with write-ups of nightlife offerings in KC, Chicago, and New York mixed in. WHB spent decades lobbying the FCC for clear channel status; the magazine's ambitious scope may have been part of the station's attempt to legitimate itself. But it was SWING'S first editor, Jetta Carleton, who later wrote a celebrated novel, that gave the magazine its distinctive style. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

^0 S. he supervises in any way anyone else he must go, providing he was at all active in the party. This removal is the responsibility of the owner of the place, who, if he fails subjects himself to severe penalties and imprisonment. "Now you ask, who denazifies the owner. That is done by a committee appointed by the Landrat (a local official), and approved by me. To begin with, the burden of proof is on the Nazi to prove he was not active and that he was virtually forced into the party. "What is done with a business that is denazified at the top (owner)? You can suggest that the active Nazi (5wner sell it, or, if he refuses, just let it remain closed, or if its operation is essential to the community, you „^ December, 1943 can place it under Property Control, which means the appointment of an administrator v/ho runs the establishment. He is appointed by me and turns over all but 12 per cent of the profits to the Property Control officer at Munich, who deposits it to an account. This money will be used by the United States government to buy German stuff for export to the U. S. for reparations. "The term active Nazi is hard to define as it differs with the individual. Attitude is a big factor. What is being done with persons dismissed on account of Nazi activity? They cannot work under anyone they formerly supervised. Many are going to work in road repair. It is upsetting the lives of many families; the party members who have anything at all are worried sick." AAA STORY DF THE WEEK A Kansas City businessman, on being informed that he was the proud father of triplets, was so overjoyed at the news that he rushed immediately to the hospital where his wife and newly acquired family were, and dashed pell-mell into the room. The nurse, being out at the time, was irritated upon her return and remonstrated with the father. "Don't you know better than to come into the nursery here in those germ-filled clothes? Why — you're not sterile." He looked at her and said, "Lady, you're telling me?" ♦ CDNTEMPDRANEITIES "What model is your car?" "It isn't a model — it's a horrible example!" — from The Tooter.
