Z talent showed up as an added mag- net for the ' tKWiirgs.-- 'Thej ' cdiac from the city and from the many nearby communities, attracted by a rtiaraihon bond pitch without paral- lel. ■ Cantor arrived here from Holly- wood Thuiiday morning (27) and, together with Patlcer Maddux and Louis Lurie. San Francisco capital- ists, immediately got down to the bu-siness ol selling bonds until his Saturday morning radio stint, so- liciting promises of large bond pur- chases from bankers and financiers, civic leaders, social groups, union organizations and from Governor Earl Warren himself. , Admittance to watch the broad- cast was by bond purchase only. Once inside the studios, the audience \^ent for additional sales via trophy and song auctions, the purchases rang- ing from $25 to $10,000. NBC's largest studio was jammed from the start of the broadcast until- the finish, many m, the audience being reluctant to leave and offering addi- tional bond- purchases for additional Cantor entertainment. Sales From 46 States Bond pledges throughout the night came from over all the country with 46 states being accounted for; Among •the bids was a -long-distance tele- phone call from Rockford, Illinois, for a $10,000 bond. As Cantor reached' his entertain- ment peak in the waning hours of -Sunday, morning, the crowds which overflowed the studio during the three-- to six-hour stretch waxed more and more enthusiastic and dug deep' into their pockets. Cantor was selling as never before. : During the comedian's 24-hour spiel, more than 20 hours, of which were spent before the mike, his meals were served by George Mar- dikian. of Frisco's Omar: Khyyam restaurant, who also kept the coffee pot going for; the studio workers; In addition, Mardikian also plunged' heavily , in bonds, bidding high for Jap war trophies, and also served the noon "Half Million" luncheon for Eddie and: his.. host and' guests^ Cantor wasn't the only stay-upper during-the vigil.- Among those who labored throughout the day and night were John- 'W.- Elwood, general manager of KPO; Don Thompson, producer of the broadcast, and Noel Francis, who assisted him. Also on duty was the station's clerical, hiusi- cal, engineering, - and announcipg personnel, including even the Sales staff. Floyd Farr, top newscaster, and Larry Smith, network commen- tator, labored throughout the mara- thon as: the jammed crowd.? inter- rupted the planned eight-hour shifts of the staff. The first bond sale was made to the. 73-year-old mother of an Army private and a major who had stayed up all Friday night to be on hand when the bugler sounded reveille! More than 114 bonds were sold when a sailor came to'thiB micro- phone and told of his 114 blood donations. The crowd responded With a bond for each dQHatiol). ' OWl Beams Overseas Fiisco's new mayor, Roger D. Lapham, shipping magnate, greeted Eddie when the comedian stepped out of the Army tent at six o'clock. fimolen & Rosati Ralph Botgers Bd .

"Jewish," she replied. Cantor read news broadcasts, did station-break announcements and kept the pace of the show at full tilt for most of the first 18 hours being {.ssisted only by Nora Martin' who helped out in the Vocal depart- ment. By four o'clock the quota of a million; dollars an hour for the 24-hour grind had been passed, and the tempo was still being stepped up. A chorus of 20 Chinese girls dropped in shortly before dinner time, and, after they had enter- tained, each girl bought a bond. At midnight, the city's visiting talent, corralled in part by Sam Rosey of MCA, began to show up Connee Boswell, appearing locally m "Cur- tain Time." put in an appearance accompanied by Chico. Marx. Also on hand were Romo Vincent, Henry King, Gene Sheldon, Joaquin Garay, Nino Milo, Don Kaye and his or- chestra, Bert Kalmar, Jerry Bergen,' and June Devereaux. The entertaitl'^ ors numbered more than 60, and' they matched the audience in going all-out for bond purchases. After 23\> hours of Cantor's continuous exhortations, the OWI picked up the broadcast and beamed it to the world's fighting fronts. Eddie gave the soldiers the news of the bond drive and promised them that America would not let them down. At 10 minutes to six, John El- wood took over to commend Eddie for his great show and to applaud Cantor's wife, Ida, who had stood by during her husband's long vigil. In :these closing minutes. Cantor reached new heights as a ladio figure. Speaking for himself and Elwood, his pledge to the men at the fighting front will be long re- membered: ■ "Every night, -before-I gro to sleep, I have a question I ask ; myself, A question I'd like to have Qur listeners engrave upon their hearts as it: is upon mine. 'What liave I done today thai is worthy ot the boy who lost his life in some far-off place, flght- ing::for me and the thiugs for which I stand?' '^And let's remember," Cantor - concluded, . $'not only the boys who gave their lives, but let's remember -the boys ivho want to live... and bring them safely home." Next day Cantor did not sleep. He spent the day thanking the fi lends who had made possible the : greatest record in bond-sellin-g - his-' tory. That night. Eddie took off for Hollywood, where he celebiated his 52d-birthday at home. ■ - ' -. NITERY GROUP ASKS NO TAX FOR SERVICEMEN Columbus, O., Feb. 1.
