PAGE 4 THE BATTALION TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 23, 1945 W T A W Batt Chat Don Milton, the uncommon croon er with the fluid-drive larynx, will sing that saga of strap-hangers everywhere, “The Trolley Song,” via the WTAW broadcast of Yours Alone, Friday, January 26, at 2:45 p. m., CWT. With youthful abandon Milton also will sing “I Don’t Care Who Knows It” and the perambulatory paean, “I Walked In.” Orchestral accompaniment will be supplied by Rex Maupin’s orchestra. Yours Alone, starring Don Mil- ton, is broadcast over WTAW Mon days through Fridays. * * * The a-cappella choristers, under the direction of Harry S.

Curley Bradley, baritone m. c. of the program, will sing “It Had To Be You” and “I’ll Be Seeing You.” The Cadets Quartet will in tone “The U. S. A. by Day, the R. A.

The radio version is based on a story by Glenn Allan, titled “A House for My Father.” * * * Jack Owens, celebrated Cruising Crooner of WTAW’s Breakfast Club, has deviated somewhat from his childhood ambition. As a little boy he had his heart set on be coming a singing evangelist. * * * Geared to put starch in any pair of good white bobby-socks, the new WTAW That’s For Me pro gram, featuring the bouncing swingstress of song Dorothy Claire, now sizzles the air waves each Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 3:45 p. m., CWT. Highlighting the program with her songs and patter is Miss Claire, who, although only 21 years of age, has been a featured singer with such orchestras as Glenn Miller’s and Bob Crosby’s and currently is appearing at Chicago’s famed Latin Quarter. With the quarter-hour directly aimed at Swing fans, Miss Claire daily introduces the Swingsters, a novel musical combination who devote their spare moments to producing a new mixture of smokey-smooth jive. Composing the Swingsters are Frankie Rullo at the vibraphone, Seymour Dru- gan, guitar, Benny Gill, violin, and “Stompy” Siegel, bass. Rex (affectionately called “Rex- ford”) Maupin and his 18-piece orchestra provide the licks, breaks and the background data for Miss Claire’s hypo’d renditions of to day’s most popular songs. * * * Raymond Gram Swing, interna tionally famed commentator and analyst who launched a new series of interpretations of current events over WTAW beginning Monday, January 22 at 6:15 p. m., CWT, has defnite ideas about presenting each day’s news. “My ideas about my work as a news analyst are quite simple,” ex plains Swing. “We are in a war, the greatest war of all time, which is bound to determine the destiny of America. So the war is the topic to which I confine myself at pre sent and discuss domestic issues only so far as they affect our ability to fight the war with all our strength. “Since we are a democracy we cannot do this without full in formation, and without persistent discussioin of the problems of the war. And since the war is political as well as military, and victory will not be won unless the peace is won, there must be as persistent a discussion of the political issues. “I speak of confining myself to this topic, but it is obvious the field is almost infinite and the on ly confinement is my own ability, and time,” continues the distin guished commentator who will be heard over WTi^W Monday through Friday. “I have the good fortune to have spent more than 20 years abroad as a foreign correspondent, seven of them in Germany. I was correspondent during much of the first World War. and I have a long first-hand acquaintance with for eign relations. And, having served two years after the last war as a financial journalist, I have some insight into the economic as well as the political structure of the world.” —COLONEI^- (Continued From Page 1) the Battalion, will give the wel coming address.

Hauser, Jr., newest Chaplain as signed to the West Point of the Air. Substituting the more modem transportation media of airplanes, trains, busses and automobiles for the pioneer carriage, Chaplain Hau ser covered 5,000 miles monthly for over a year in his previous as signment setting up religious faci lities for dozens of AAF Training Command college detachments and contract flying schools in eight southeastern states. With three AAF colleagues, Chaplain Hauser traveled night and day gathering clergymen of all denominations into a mammoth en terprise to provide religious guid ance for 120 flying and pre-flight study centers in the southeastern area. Despite the difficulties en countered in seeking travel and living accommodations throughout the broad area—at one locality the Only guest sleeping arrangement was afforded by a one-bed hospital dispensary, Chaplain Hauser re calls with gratitude the ready co- operatiorP of civilian clergymen in giving their time to provide religi ous services to G'I’s. Chaplain Hauser, who was as signed to Randolph Field late in June, was connected with Texas A and M. College for five years be fore entering the service. Texas has about 225 different tree species and some 53 varieties representing about 86 different genera or natural tree groups. Radio Pick-Up Varies With Phases of Moon Radio reception has now been found to vary with the phases of the moon, it was disclosed here in a General Electric Science Forum address by Dr. Harlan True Stetson of Cambridge, Mass., director of the laboratory for cos mic terrestrial research, Massa chusetts Institute of Technology. Citing the results obtained from data after more than 20,000 hours of observation over two periods of four years each, Dr. Stetson said: “From the study of our data, made on those nights when the moon was overhead, we found radio reception definitely improv ed from the time of the moon’s first quarter to shortly before full moon. After full moon, radio re ception deteriorated, but began to improve again from about the last quarter until a few days before new moon. This, of course, is true for a certain particular frequency over a certain path we were meas uring.” However, in observations made when “the moon was below the horizon”—observations made in the dark of the moon, “We found no such effect, where no radiation from the moon’s surface could reach the radio waves over the path we were studying,” Dr. Stetson pointed out. “The same thing happened in both series of data, except that the lunar effect was more pronounced during the second four years of our data than during the first four years,” he declared. “We know there is increasing evidence to believe that out in space the sun must be emitting very penetrating rays of high energy, probably similar to X-rays,” Dr. Stetson said. “It is these rays which bombard the upper atmosphere of the earth, creating the ions and electrons in our so-called ionosphere. “Unlike the earth, the moon has no atmosphere to stop or absorb these rays. Every physical labora tory worker knows that when X-rays, or very short ultraviolet rays, shine on a metal plate—or al most any substance, for that mat ter—the object so illuminated sends off electrons. This is what we call the photoelectric effect. It is what happens in every photocell that counts the automo biles that pass along the highway, or operates the self opening doors found in so many public buildings. “In our hypothesis, we believe that photo-electrons are emitted from the moon, as the very inten sive sunlight in space bombards the unprotected surface of the moon. We believe that it is these photo-electrons coming from the moon and entering the earth’s at mosphere that have the necessary energy to increase the ionization of our radio ceiling. “In fact, radio observations show that the intensity of ultra violet light hitting the top of our atmosphere is more than twice as great during sunspot maximum than during sunspot minimum. We should, therefore, have a right to expect that the photoelectrons emitted from the moon would be appreciably increased with the in crease in the intensity of the solar rays accompanying large numbers of sunspots.” —BUY WAR BONDS TODAY— Lincoln made five written copies of his Gettysburg Address.
