This figure is even more amazing ·in view of the fact that Martin has faced some of the stiffest competition in the recording field. Being a top selling artist for Victor, his records are always "covered" by other recording companies with their own top artists, to cash-in on the sales built up by Martin. Despite this fi erce competition, Martin always manages to be among the top sellers on any recording he makes. His current big disc is "Snowflakes" backed by "River In The Moonlight." CITIZEN-Robert Montgomery, who has had a notable career as actor, film producer, Naval officer and now NBC-TV executive pro ducer, has taken on a new assignment for NBC radio: a five-times-weekly news com- mentary, \\A Citizen Views the News." * AUTRY OR ROGERS? NBC's Roy Rogers has received thousands of letters begging him not to sell his famed horse, Trigger, but one letter in particular de served attention: "I have always played cowboys," wrote a seven-year-~ld, " and I always play you.
