Then came longest commercial of program. 'Give Me Something to Remember You By' is next pop number for Feld's tooterts and they do it well. Dick Mills, baritone, who was with Arnold Johnson at WOR for 20 weeks, does a sweet job with 'Never in a Million Years.' Christine Ran- dall, ti'scovered by KMOX execs, in small local nitery, tickles the ivories and sings torch songs, and this femme certainly. puts lots of notes together in a short period of time. Another plug for sponsor with Feld's orch doing 'The Organ Grind- er's Swing' as a background brings entertaining program to a close. Lis- teners are advised they may attend show in KMOX's air-conditioned playhouse by writing for tickets (room for 600). Feld's music and the songs are nicely ararnged to emphasize spon- sor's product and Judd Norman does okay with m.c. stint. Sa/vu. JOHNNY HAUSER ORCHESTRA 30 Mins. Susta^inlngr Friday, 4:30 p.m., ED ST WOR, New York Remote dansapation from the Borscht Circuit's No. 1 spot, Gross- inger's in Ferndale, N. Y. Band un- limbers virtually every type of tunes, but knocks off the hot rhythm ses- sions best. On program caught (2) Hauser and the Soys turned in a pip job on 'Caravan,' particularly with the rhythm section. Otherwise, the orch features plenty of oke brass and sax stuff, either section usually serving as background for the other. Arrange- ments have a distinctive touch, but aren't overboard or novelty. Haus- er's vocals aren't intended to un- leash much melody, concentrating on tempo and lyrics. Has a hoarse style of warbling in the hotcha idiom along the lines when he first- started with Paul Whiteman. Ho be.

Local Snstaining . Sat., 1:15 p. m. WDRC, Hartford This makes another radio fan chat for the Hartford customers, Paul Liicas having preemed one on WTIC some months ago and doing so well with it that his five-minute shot was tripled to 15. Hartford strongly needs institu- tional stuff of this type because of the chill attitude of the dailies to local air fare and, furthermore, be- cause the potent Hartford Times has been going great guns with its own vent, WTHT, now full time. 'Behind the Eight Ball,' so tagged in relation to milce, handled by Gil Bayek, staff spokesman at WDRC. Addressed especially to hearers who have questions to ask, frame natu- rally puts the accent on goings-on at WDRC and on CBS. Prom format of first airings, Bayek includes a sketch of some WDRC fave, answers some of the mail, augments with odd chit- chat and winds up with coming events. Bayek's treatment effective. Elem. ZINN ARTHUR'S ORCHESTRA Dance Music 30 Mins. Local Sustainine " Mon.-Thurs., 11:30 p.m. WICC, Bridgeport Pine Brook country club, vacation resort at Nichols, Conn., piped to Bridgeport for synco sessions of Zinn Arthur band. Ability to handle a va- riety of fare, covering range from sweet-and-sensible to advanced swing, assures a well-balanced pro- gram, but denies combo any stylistic identification. Swing product so su- perior to rest of output that Arthur might be well advised to coricentrate on it. One number, an original by the maestro, described as 'maraccas swing,'was genuinely in the groove. Vocals by Arthur don't help. Since locally-radiated programs seemingly wont be over-effective In building, vacash biz, announcements by Joe Lopez bid listeners to come and see plays intermittently staged by Piiie Brook drama troupe. Band personnel Includes Al Weis- field. Jack Greenberg, Norm Corey. Larry Regensburg, Rube Rubin, BUI Cupo, Ben Wolf man, Jerry Carr, Norman Poris and Victor Michaels. lElem. RICHARD MAXWELL Hymns 10 Mins. Sustaining Mon.-Sat., 9:30 a.in., EDST WABC, New York Aimed for the shut-ins, this may not be just what the doctor ordered, but it should keep certain patients in the proper frame of mind until, the' medico arrives. Maxwell has an appealing voice and he sings simply and without trying to be the personality kid. Faint organ background. Singer makes his own announce- ments. Dedicates numbers to in- dividual listeners, anonymously identifying them by town (viz., 'to a mother in Scranton), but mentions no names. Hebe. EDDIE GUNDAKER 'TODAY'S WINNERS' Talk is Mins. Local lustaining Daily, 5:15 p. m. WGAL, Lancaster, Pa. Being a very good horse town, WGAL struck a natural for a good- will builder in this daily gob gallop handled by Eddie Guhdaker. Open- ing with transcribed sound effects of donkeys coming into the stretch, the day's racing activities get a once over lightly with brief outlines of the outstanding races of the day, best performances of horses and jockeys, best prices paid, and other timely track info. When time allows, announcer pat- ters on races up the following day listing the likely entries and their jockeys. Program does no handicap- ping and doesn't even hint at favor- ites. Posey. Walton Roof Folds And May Not Reopen Philadelphia, July 20. Walton Roof, one of the Iarge.5t and best known of the midtown lateries, shuttered Saturday night (17), probably neyer to Open again. This is sixthi of the town's class nite spots to be licked by the sizzling thermometer. Nitery biz, which has been skidding since April anyhow, is scraping seaweed off the bottom now with humidity and temperature combo sending spenders shoreward. Although announced by Manager Charley Duffy that Walton Rcrof is only ducking the sizzle season, there is good possibility that the shutdown may be permanent. Nitery wa.s never profitable to the hotel and a plan is now under consideration to put apartments in its place, which will eliminate it from tlie nitery scene altogether. '
