By the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK. Ark., April 17.—Pe- ; nal Supt. S. L. Todhunter was sus pended Monday by the State Penal Board pending investigation of fiscal affairs. Chairman Walter Helms of the Pe nal Board announced Warden Tom Cogbill of Cummins Prison Farm had been placed in charge of penal insti tutions until “the matter has been cleared up ” In a letter to Gov. Futrell. the j State controller said the State treas urer’s books showed penitentiary sink ing fund bonds had been issued in Todhunter’s name, and that he de sired an explanation concerning old • penitentiary fund warrants on which he said "no record apparently has been kept." The warrants, he said, were shown by the treasurer’s books to have been converted into bonds.

T "w THEN the Women’s National \ A / Radio Committee, repre Y I/ sentlng 10,000,000 Ameri » » can club women, recently gave its award of merit to two Columbia programs, they doubly honored Howard Barlow, a quiet, un assuming man who wears lightly a crown of distinction in the develop ment of broadcasting. Barlow Is the musical director of both programs cited—the “March of Time,” the celebrated weekly news dramatization in which he directs the effective musical settings, and "Co lumbia’s Concert Hall,” Winter series, in which he presented distinguished guest artists with the Columbia Sym phony Orchestra. Barlow, in fact, conducted the very first Columbia program, and since then has directed more than 2,500 hours of musical broadcasts—a feat which probably would cover the average conductor’s lifetime. With this record behind him. Bar low was asked the other day to give a formula for a successful musical program. His answer was simple and direct: "It may sound paradoxical," Barlow said, “but I believe the musical pro gram that most appeals to the per- | formers themselves is the one that r = exerts the most profound effect upon the listeners. "I don’t suggest for a moment any neglect of the listener’s interest. But there is a priceless ingredient In the success of every program, musical or otherwise. That Ingredient becomes most evident when artists present music in which they are most vitally interested—whether it’s a blues ballad, a Strauss waits, a Cole Porter hit, or a Beethoven symphony. When this communion of Interests and material takes place the performance Immedi ately assumes an electric quality of Importance and vitality that com municates itself at once to responsive listeners. This 'priceless Ingredient,’ as I call It, Is so simple and Intangible that It Is often overlooked by listeners and performers—and yet its absence Is felt by both groups." * * * * STATION WJR, Detroit, associated with the N.
