IT has been the fashion in recent years for certain self- appointed critics to knock the American sys- tem of broadcasting. We would be better off, they cry, if all broadcasting was in the hands of the government. In the recent war crisis these critics received an answer that should silence them forever. The American broadcasting companies' handling of the war news was a truly magnificent achievement. An achievement that was du- plicated nowhere else in the world. I think we should all doff our hats to the broadcasting companies. In a vital situation, packed with genuine drama, they justified themselves before the world, and proved themselves worthy of the name, American. VERNON WILKINSON Oakland, Calif. SECOND PRIZE A SURE CURE A more pleasant man than my hus- band you'd never want to know, but when he drove a car, he became a demon. He cursed other drivers; damned road conditions and traffic congestions -until we got the radio for the car. Now he tunes in the program, smiles happily; never notices how many red lights he stops for; will, and does, willingly help a fellow driver in diffi- culty, with never a word of damnation (which, fortunately, nobody but me ever heard anyway). So, as long as we can afford a car, I cannot afford to be without a radio for it, as it tends toward greater happiness for the driver and all the passengers therein. MRS.
