	This was a two-part effort from a coalition of mostly Hollywood 
actors against the House Un-American Activities Committee.  The first
part was broadcast on 10/26/47 as a group of them were leaving on a chartered
plane to observe the hearings in Washington.  The POV of the show was that 
the hearings were little more than a witch-hunt, targeting progressive 
forces (or anyone who ever spoke to them) in the film industry.  Among 
the 50 stars appearing on the show were Judy Garland, Bogart, Bacall, 
Groucho Marx, Keenan Wynn, Charles Boyer, and  dozens of others.
	By the second broadcast a week later (11/02/47), the hearings had been
indefinitly suspended, but not before several names were named by Hollywood
moguls and stars (Damn, I wish I could find my notes from going through the 
NY Times!).  The outcome of this phase of the hearings was a blacklist that 
came to be known as The Hollywood Ten, mostly writers, including Dalton Trumbo. 
	The second broadcast was from NY, and included many Broadway stars, 
judges, and legislators, who all had come on board to oppose the methods 
of hearsay and intimidation  used by the committee.
	I had heard somewhere that Norman Corwin had something to do with 
the scripting, but this is not confirmed by the Leroy Bannerman chronology
or any reference in Norman Corwin's Letters.  No credits are given on the 
shows.  (Can anyone confirm or correct this rumor?)
	I got my copies from NARA, not SPERDVAC (as I had stated in an 
earlier post).  On the NARA copy, second show starts abruptly about a 
minute into the broadcast.  Is there a more complete version available?
	BTW, these shows were offered as part of a 3-hour package of 
political radio programs for a WBAI marathon last year, and I was surprised, 
after good phone response to rebroadcasting them, that they didn't prove 
terribly popular (the Jean Shepherd/Quiet Please package went like hotcakes 
in the same drive).  To some degree, this kind of response is responsible for
the ratio of "entertainment" shows vs. historical material presented on a 
program like The Golden Age of Radio.  Give the people what they want!

	If I may go off on a slight tangent here, I'm curious about the number
of people "within the sound of my voice", [removed] the NYC broadcast area, who 
are reading the OTR Digest. I'd like to hear from those on this list, via 
e-mail to the address shown in the header of this post, and below.  Bombard 
my mailbox.  Send requests or feedback (or hatemail) if you want. Consider 
this a test. Thanks in advance.

Hi Gang -                        March 12 - 1996 -- Tuesday - 2:25 PM cst 

I just got my Spring issue of the RADIOLETTER from WBEZ.
I am happy to report that according this issue, '13 By Corwin' will be 
broadcast on WBEZ on 13 consecutive Mondays at 11 AM commencing April 8.

WBEZ has a much better signal than it did a few years ago, so anyone who 
lives anywhere in the Chicago area (including Southeastern Wisconsin) 
should be able to hear it.   The frequency is [removed] MHz.  

This is a convenient time for me, so I'll be listening (and taping) every 
Monday.  I hope others in Chicagoland will be able to do the same.
