r SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE / Would Halt Italy Voting If Compromised=--Scelba pn By FRANK O'BRIEN Rome, April 17--(AP)--Italy's In- teriro Minister held out a threat to- day to suspend tris week-end's fateful election "if the liberty of the vote should be compromised." The election tomorrow and Mon- day, seating the first parliament of the Italian Republic, will test whe- ther Italy is to line up with Russia or the west. A popular front led by the Com- munists has striven to oust a mod- erate coalition government under the Christian Democrats. Public security forces variously announced as between 300,000 and 400,000 guarded election-eve peace the country over today. Mario Scelba, whose Interior Min- istry controls police, said in his last speech here last night: "The government will be on the watch. If the liberty of the vote should be compromised, it would not hesitate to take the most radi- cal measures, even the suspension of the elections." The speech-making campaign ended, rently in peace, last appa midnight and a 32-hour pre-elec- tion cooling-off period began under a cabinet decree forbidding further political meetings. The authoritative Rome newsga- per Messagero quoted the Christian Democratic Premier De Gasperi as saying in a Naples interview he thought his party would do better this time than in the constituent assembly election of June 6, 1946, In that election, it polled 35.2 per cent of the vote and elected 207 of 556 deputies, Both De Gasperi and Communist Leader Palmiro Togliatti spoke in the windup of campaigning. Western leaders and the Vatican have urggl votes against Commun- ism. Yesterday the United States, Britain and France served Russia with their second demands for ac- tion on their March 20 proposal to give: Italy back the Trieste free ter- ritory. Police sought hidden arms last night through wide sectors around Rome, Naples and other big cities. The balloting will be for 574 mem- bers of the Chamber of Deputies and 237 senators to compose the first parliament of the Italian Re- public born in 1946. e make-up of parliament will 'determine the make-up of the government, Radio Announcing i Is Tough Racket --Men Who Know By JACK McNEIL Canadian Press Staff Writer . So you want to be a radio an- nouncer? Well, there's nothing to it really. All you have to do is start at the bottom, work 16 hours a day if necessary, sweep out the studio and stack records. Maybe--if you've got « likely voice, an engaging perso- nality and at least the rudiments of a Itheral education--maybe you'll get a crack at station calls ("This is P-L-O-P, Countryville"). Surely, you say, this isn't a true picture of radio announcing. Why, some Canadian announcers earn $10,000 a year. There are even one or two in the country who can-- largely be free-lancing--earn $20,- 000 in one year. True, but they're not beginners. They've been in the business many years, worked long hours, and suc- ceeded against tough competition. And, incidentally, those rare fel- lows who strike the top figure don't maintain it every year. Listen to a man who came up the hard way, John Kannawin, OBC supervisor of presentation in To- rento, which means among other things, that he assigns tasks to the announcers in the CBC's Toronto stations. Long an announcer him- self, and later a producer, Kanna- win remarks tersely: "Announcing is no pot of gold. It's a tough racket. In my first nine years in the business, I had just two Christmasses off." First TWo Questions One of Kannawin's duties is de- olding whether would-be announc- ers are wo training. If you were applying for a job, without previ- ous radio experience, the first two questions he'd ask you would be: 1. What is your educational back- ground? (If you haven't at least honor matriculation, he'd be "very unhappy;" if you have any uni- versity degree, he'd be "very, very § 2. Have. you any musical or show business experience? (Again, if you can answer yes, you Kannawin happy). Kannawin and other top-flight men agree that the big station is no place to launch a radio career. Take Jack Dennett, ace announcer at OFRB, Toronto. Jack started in 'as local station in Calgary in 1932 when he was 16, and for his first four years worked from 7:30 am. until 11 pm. In his spare time he read newspapers out loud to develop his voice---a system of self-training he still recommends. g His career is typical of how an announcer can move from a small job to a big job. The station at went from 100 watts to 1,000 while he was there. Then he transferred to CKRC, Winnipeg, which also increased its power -- from 1,000 to 5,000 watts- -- while he was on its staff. Finally he went to CFRB, which is now 10,000 watts but will go to 50,000 in July and be among the most powerful sta- tions on the continent. In a small-town station, says Jack, you sweep the floor, an- nounce, write continuity, keep an eye. on the transmitter, replace tubes and do many chores that a |. good union tradesman would shud- der at. In those days, he said, a beginner in radio couldn't live on his salary, so Jack lived with his parents. But you can take this columnist's Word Without mention- | presen! | Can't Start in N.H.L. ! W. H. Brodie, CBC's supervisor of broadcast languages and the | announcers' "coach," has a clinch- er: "Many young people think of starting in Toronto, Montreal or : Vancouver. That's like a hockey player wanting to start in the Na- ! tional Hockey e." Elwood Glover's voice is known PRESCRIPTIONS Quickly and Accurately Filled lh 9 Simcoe N.

Per-~ sonality is the thing nowadays, says Glover. Byng Whitteker has made his name familiar across the Dominion with his network programs from CJBC, Toronto, but Byng started in Kitchener, Ont., and worked up by way of North Bay. He gives beginners the advice of a past- master: "Be sincere. Be no {1 And remember: in front of a mike you're talking to a few persons in a living room. You don't have to scream. The day of shouting is gone." All these authorities on the art of announcing agree that the pre- sent-day beginner can learn much in a recognized school of radio work. "When I started 12 years ago," says Glover, "there were no schools, no organization. Now there is a pattern of training one can take." To sum up, these are the things a prospective announcer should have: a good voice, as much edu- cation as he can get, personality, and the ability to work hard. And to break in: join an ama- teur or professional dramatic so- ciety; take a course in radio work, if there's one in your community, given by people who practise what they teach; and--most important--- start with a small-town or small- city station.
