"WEA--F?"

Fibber McGee and Molly: "D-Day Broadcast." Mostly patriotic songs, but some interesting war stuff, especially at the beginning.

And the wonderful Information Please, first show of the 44-45 season (9-11-44). Wendell Wilkie was supposed to be on but canceled (host Clifton Fadiman reads his note of regret), so the delightful Jan Strother, author of Mrs. Miniver, sits in, along with actor Frank Knox. The war news at the beginning of the show is pretty cool.
