"That was some orchestra," Bennett recalls. "It included not only Benny Goodman, but Red Nichols and Glenn Miller." Incidentally, Bennett believes that the term "swing" as a general label for jazz came into use during the run of "Girl Crazy." As Bennett recalls the incident, Glenn Miller was reading over Bennett's orchestration of "I Got Rhythm" from the show for the first time. Beside one particularly hot passage. Miller marked down in the margin this notation: "swing it!" To Bennett's knowledge, this was the first time that "swing" was used to describe hot music. This Joseph P.

Lawrence Food Market Solicits Your Patronage A variety native to the show is one factor in the success of the Musical Steelmakers' program, which is heard over a network of 91 stations. The show is heard each Sunday from 4 to 4:30 p.m. (CST) over WTJS and the Mutual network. Music both popular and classical a trio of girl singers, a melodious, full-voiced male quartet, two girl soloists, a romantic tenor, and a genial master of ceremonies with a Scotch twang to his voice are the regular elements that make up the program. Added to this a program head-liner a guest star who may be a singer, harmonica player, trumpe-teer, or singing combination.

The result each Sunday is a program that is entirely fresh, unique, and original. The various headliners and all the regular members of the Musical Steelmakers cast are recruited from employees of the Wheeling Steel company and members of their families. The program, thus, is an expression of a whole community and has a natural variety impos sible to achieve on an ordinary show. Frequently for a special hot number, Tommy Whitley, leader of the Steelmakers orchestra, will feature several of his trumpteers and saxa-phonists. For the next number on the program, these young musicians will change their style and present fine music in the best of classical tradition.

Headliners on the past few weeks programs have included a musical family playing every thing from violin to piano; seven young girl choir singers; a swinging trumpeteer; a quartet; and a Greek opera star. This variety, coupled with an ex-huberance that comes naturally from real community effort has paced the show's success as it has grown from a single station to one of radio's largest networks in less than four years.

Forty-two persons paid income taxes on individual incomes of $1,000,000 or more last year. The number of million dollar incomes was eight fewer than in the preceding year, but experts attributed the change to technical factors in connection with reporting of capital gains. On conformity with the law, names were not disclosed by the Treasury Department. The 42 paid $46,073,000 federal income tax between them on their 1939 incomes, the treasury reported. The millionaire crop last year was about average for recent years, but far short of the record of 513 who between them paid in taxes on 1929 incomes.

Lewis' Scripts Up-To-The-Minute One of the reasons why Mutual's Washington commentator, Fulton Lewis, has had such success with his nightly broadcasts is that he brings fresh details of front page stories to radio listeners. The up-to-the-minute presentation which he believes is necessary for news commentating has won for him a vast radio audience. Wherever possible, Lewis likes to be present at all official conferences and debates, so that he may get his information first hand instead of in a digested form or in reports that have sifted through various channels before reaching him. Since Lewis has been on his lecture tour this winter, he has been able to get added local color for his broadcasts in each of the cities he has visited. At present he is in California, but will be back on the east coast on Aplil 6 to lecture in Pittsfield, Mass.

Lewis says that he never finishes the script for his nightly broad casts more than 3 minutes before air time, giving himself an opportunity to incorporate into his talk any last-minute news flashes. Lewis capital commentary is aired over WTJS and the Mutual network Monday through Friday from 6 to 6:15 p. m. CST. TUESDAY Raymond Evans, Hatton St Michael Strauss Jacobs, president of the Twentieth Century Sporting Club, the Mutual Broadcasting System and the Gillette Safety Razor Company have completed negotations whereby Mutual will have exclusive broadcasting rights to all professional boxing bouts, in cluding championship contests, staged by the Twentieth Century Sporting Club.

WTJS, Mutual's Jackson outlet, will carry each of the ring events that are broadcast. This exclusive agreement goes into effect on June 1 and is of one-year duration with an option to renew for the following year. The boxing shows held in New York and elsewhere will be sponsored by the Gillette Safety Razor Company. It will be recalled that dur ing the past few years Gillette has sponsored numerous sporting events of national importance including the world series baseball games and last year's professional football championship contest. The agareement covers all professional boxing contests presented by the Twentieth Century Sporting Club, at Madison Square Garden, the Garden Bowl, the Yanakee Stadium, Polo Grounds, and Jacoks' boxing promotions at arenas in cities outside the state of New York.

A special ccast-to-coast broad cast to introduce the fight series was broadcast by WTJS-Mutual last Monday. Joe Louis, heavyweight champion of the world, spoke on the program from Detroit. From New York, leading newspaper sportswriters, boxing offi cials and J. P. Spang, president of the Gillette Safety Razor were heard.

Dave Driscoll was master of ceremonies. "Watch WTJS and Mutual." Dr. Walter Maier Is Lutheran Hour Speaker On WTJS The Lutheran Hour is now heard over 300 stations irf the United States, Canada and 18 other lands in the English and Spanish lan guage. Arrangements have been completed so that the broadcast will soon be heard in Portuguese, French and Dutch. The Mutual Broadcasting System has carried the Lutheran Hour since its rise to international prominence as a religious program.

Broadcasting as a sideline to his regular duties as full-time professor of Semitic languages at Concordia Seminary, Dr. Maier has gained wide recognition for his discussions of Christian life according to the Bible, and for his vig orous opposition to Communism church modernism and teaching of spiritual skepticism in certain ed ucational institutions. Radio listeners are impressed with the sincerity of Dr. Maier's Gospel sermons, and proof that his messages have a strong appeal for millions of listeners is not only found in the huge network now carrying the broadcast, but also in the tremendous volume of mail from the audience as many as 12,500 letters in a single week. A patriotic gold cross is now offered free as a gift of the program and will be sent to every person writing to the Lutheran Hour, St.

Louis, Mo. Station WTJS brings the Lutheran Hour to its listeners every Sunday afternoon from 12:30 to 1 p.m. Treasure Chest Returns To WTJS Monday Afternoon "Treasure Chest, the popular cash award program sponsored by Royal Crown Cola and utilizing the WTJS mobile transmitter, will start its second season on the air tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock, with subsequent programs to be heard on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week. Tomorrow's award will be five dollars. If no one receives it, the "Treasure Chest" will be increased to ten dollars for the Wednesday program, and so on five dollars being added to the chest each time.

When the award is given, the "chest" goes back to five dollars for the next program. Anyone in Jackson is eligible to win. Full details will be given on tomorrow's program.
