_ APRIL 14,1947 ~ ~ qi. 9 144 I don't want to take the bread out of @ “Information Please,” if it stays on Drew Pearson’s mouth. But having gone out on a limb with one prediction, I might as well cisk a few others: | \ | @ Watch for further broadcast pro- grams based on religious themes but done with superb showmanship. There will be a slew of them soon, due largely to the enthusiastic reception given “The Greatest Story Ever Told" (ABC net- J work, Sundays, 6:30-7 p.m.). If you haven't yet heard that one, it’s a must. ‘-@ More and more, shows aimed for i ' what the trade calls “the moppets” will ' . . . develop social consciousness, Inciden- tally, if you have a good idea for a children’s program, you may earn fame, production on the Mutual network and $1,000 in cold cash—send it before > June 1 to the Child Study Association, $ 221 West Fifty-seventh Street, New York 19, New York. Identify your idea as an entry for the “Robert Maxwell Award.” Maxwell, who anted up the thousand bucks, is the man who devel- oped the two best kid shows on the air, “Superman” and “House of Mystery.” the aic (its Hooper slip has been show- ing of late, with the rating down to 6.2) will sce that it gets a time that does not conflict with the Henry Motr- gan show. Both appeal to the same audience; neither is happy with the com- petition. € By the time this piece is in type, the writers of every top show on the air will have voted to strike. There's hardly a tadio weiter worth his salt who is not a member of the Radio Writers’ Guild, The men and women who do the scripts for everybody from Fred Allen and Bob Hope to “Ma Perkins,” “Pepper Young's Family,” “Big Sister” or “Young Widder Brown” are tired of being pushed around by advertising agencies, networks and sponsors. They met April 7 to take a strike vote. The newspapers will have informed you by this time whether this prediction of an overwhelming vote to strike has materi- alized. One reason they are itching to strike is that, every time a writer pres- ents an idea for a program, he must cies handling radio: There are many versions of this form, but essentially they all requice the writer : to give away every conceivable right he may have to the product of his brain. If you were a writer, how would you : like to be forced to sign, before your idea was even considered, the follow- ing document?
