AFL OPENS RADIO SERIES JANUARY 7
THE American Federation of Labor wants to make a date with every one of its seven million members and all their relatives and friends within reach of a radio for Jan. 7 and every week thereafter throughout 1945.
On Jan. 7 the AFL opens its new series of weekly radio programs. For the first thirteen weeks of the year these programs will be carried each Sunday at 1:15 P. M., E.W.T., over a nationwide NBC network. Later the Columbia Broadcasting System and the Blue Network will carry the programs, but at different time periods.
The first program will take up the problems of "Must Production." The invited guest will be Lieut. Gen. W. D. Styer, Chief of Staff of the Army Service Forces. After a brief preliminary statement he will answer questions from a National Unity Panel made up as follows:
For the American Federation of Labor—Philip Pearl. For the United States Chamber of Commerce—Dr. Emerson P. Schmidt. For the National Farmers Union—Paul Sifton.
The final half of the program will be devoted to extemporaneous discussion among the members of the panel on various aspects of the production problem.
In the following weeks many other important issues will be taken up in turn for discussion by highly distinguished guests and by the panel members.
