One of the reasons why South .| Africa is becoming interested in commercial radio, said Mr. Roos, is the nearness of Lourenco Marques, a coast: city of : Portuguese East Af- rica, which has no restrictions on radio advertising. This makes it a perfect base for becoming commer- to South Africa and ek with. the South African Broadcasting / * Corporation's pro- grams. Canada was chosen as a field of study, said Mr. Roos, because of the similari#¥ of some conditions--large areas with sparce population and two 'languages. Mr. Roos told a press conference that the SABC has one FM station, but it has limited value because few ' own FM sets. It did come in handy on one occasion, however, When the battleship = taking the Royal Family 'to South Africa was several 'hundred miles from Cape- town, a naval vessel broadcast the proceedings aboard the battleship to the F'M station from whence it was re-broadcast on standard wave. As in. Canadas, no definite plans have been made in South Africa for the introduction of television.

Munch Leads Philharmonic dn New Series Charles Munch, distinguished French conductor, will lead the New York Philharmonic-Symphony in the first of a series of broad- casts he will make with the or- chestra this season, Sunday, Dec. 19, 3:00-4:30 p.m. EST. Robert Casadesus, noted French pianist, is to be the soloist in Liszt's Concerto' for Piano and Orchestra No. 2 in A Major and Vincent d'Indy's Symphony on a French Mountain - Air for orchestra and plano. The program opens with Mozart's "Haffner" Symphony No. 35 in D Major, and closes with Chabrier's "Bourree Fantasque." Munch this year marks his sec- ond season - of . concerts with the Philharmonic, with which he made his American debut in January, 1947. The brillant conductor, a native of Alsace, has been a fiery exponent of the music -of his own country, and has often included contemporary French works in his programs. After a brilliant Ameri- can tour last season, Munch was appolated Musical Director of the Boston Symphony, a post which he will take up next year. At the be- ginning of this year, he gained new friends for the cause of French music during a tour with his own French National Orchestra. Robert Casadesus has just re- turned from abroad, where he com- bined a European tour with his duties as Director of the American Conservatory at the Palace of Fon- tainebleu. FIRST DUTCH NEWSPAPER The first newspaper in the Neth-" erlands, De Haarlemmer Courant, appeared Jan. 8, 1656. Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson Famed For Voice, Timing "What's that, boss?" That brash line, in husky accent and priceless timing, is-a surefire laugh for millions of radio listeners every Sunday night on the "Jack Benny Program." It.is the \trademark of a loveable little ex-song and dance man named Eddie Anderson, with melt- ing topaz eyes and an impish dis- position. As Rochester, stage valet, chauf- feur and man-about#he-house ex- traordinary to Jack Benny, Ane derson is one of the biggest names on the air although fe is only a supporting player. Rochester is forever telling the boss about some household mixup involving the battered Maxwell, the polar bear Carmichael," or other Benny posessions, after the damage has been done 'of course. Then, as an, after thought, he'll 'enquire about his salary which is always in arrears. Anderson, a scream on the "Jack --tBenny Program" for the last 11 years, panned gold from gravel that got into his epiglottis when he nearly lost his voice as a news- boy. At 12, he "helped after school hours to eke out the family's liv- ing by selling the San Francisco Bulletin at that city's windy Ferry Building. His father had great hopes that the boy would become a singer, but little Eddie hawked his papers with such vigor to out- shout a bunch of leather-lunged rivals that his throat soon gave up the struggle. A descendant of slaves whom Abolitionists smuggled North via the underground railway, Ander- son was born in Oakland, Calif. on September 18, 1905, of theatrical parents. His father, Big Ed En- derson, was .a minstrel performer and- his mother, Ella Mae, was a circus tightrope walker whose ca- reer was ended by a fall. His elder brother, Cornelius, was a vaudeville actor. When Eddie Anderson was 14 he joined an all-Negro revue. Later his brother then took him along on a theatre engagement. Eddie de- veloped into a tiptop singer and dancer, barnstorming the boards of | back strpet theatres and honky- tonk night spots for six years. In 1925, he got his first good break when a goad company with which he was appearing went broke and he landed with the Pantages vaudeville circuit, opening at the World Theatre in Omaha. After more than a decade in the variet§ halls, he struck out for Los Angeles, played two years at the Cottdn Club there and did bits in| the movies. His first important film role was as Noah in "Green Pastures," which brought him na- tional attention. In 1837, the Jack Benny troupe, on a continental trip, was regaled by a Pullman porter who was a cross between a philosopher and a humorist. The Benny writers con- ceived the idea of putting such a character in his program. Benny agreed and the call went out for candidates. Anderson won the audition, but he was hired for only one performance, on Easter Sunday, 1937. He was a sensation. After his second spot on the show he was signed permanently. Happy-go-lucky and amiable, he is 8aid to be the only member of the Benny cast that does not worry. On his first broadcast, he showed up at the studio in white tie and tails with a top hat and an In verness cape draping his shoulders. Anderson idolizes his boss. Benny, who owns the name Rochester, ne- gotiates all of his movie contracts. Anderson has appeared in a num- ber of pictures since "Green Pas- tures," some of them with Benny.

A skilled carpenter and mechanic, he spends much of his time build ing model airplanes and mihiature racing autcmobiles. He is also a boating enthuiast and owner of a . small racing stable. His most prized steed was a $400 yearling bought at Saratoga named Burnt Cork. When the horse won a race at Arlington, Anderson showed up at MGM studios in the costume of a Kentucky colonel and insisted that everyone call him Colonel Rochester. 3 Some one asked Benny how he came to name him Rochester. "I don't remember," he reg'ied. "But, anyway, Roch is not one to lodk a gift name in the mouth. After all, I might have called him Schenec- tady." To which, Anderson says: "I only wish my ole pappy was alive to hear me.
