The Mercury Theater of the Air, originally broadcast October 30, 1938, 87 years ago.  A modernized adaptation of HG Wells War of the Worlds.  The show was styled as a series of live news bulletins describing a Martian invasion of Earth.

He has a final "thank you" for Johnny for helping his kid brother get a start in life. There's still the matter of $100,000 from the convict's last safe robbery.  (That $100K would be over $1.069 Million today!)   Ironically, the gas station kid knew who Johnny Dollar was, but it didn't matter, as CBS ended the show anyway. 

Finally, Orson Welles Commentary, broadcast September 30, 1945, 80 years ago.  The aircheck from KECA Radio (Now KABC) gave listeners a look at what radio would become - a medium of primarily news and commentary.   The broadcast originates from Orson's home in Brentwood. Eddie Cantor introduced a new cast member on his show (Thelma Carpenter) without mentioning that she's colored. What did Eisenhower say to General Patton? We'll never know for sure. Many Roosevelt staffers are leaving the Truman administration. The main British problem is getting enough to eat. Orson answers a critic in Weehawken, New Jersey. He then tells the story of, "Bonito," the fighting bull. It's a great story, told beautifully by Orson.  No doubt, Welles was as good at commentary as he was at acting.

We conclude our look at the day before VJ Day, August 10, 1945, 80 years ago as broadcast on WEAF in New York, NBC’s New York City station. Our final block is Soap Operas with news bulletins along with news and commentary. 

We start at 5pm Eastern War Time with When a Girl Marries.  Steve and Irma discuss the bucket of water dumped on the floor by Cathy. Steve swears to get even with Harry for what he did to Betty. 

At 5:15 EWT Portia Faces Life starring Lucille Wall (Far right, pictured).  Cathy confronts Walter face-to-face. He plans to return to Parkerstown...and Portia! Portia however, plans to marry Dr. Byron.

Nagasaki is still burning, Allied attacks continue. General Sarnoff's article about atomic bombs - written in July - has appeared in the New York Times. Four hundred and thirty-one naval vessels have been lost since the start of the war.

Powell, an expert on the Japanese monarchy, who was recently released from captivity. Mr. Thomas tells a fascinating story of how the story broke...in Morse code at only twenty-five words-per-minute. There is an interesting description of the atomic explosions and the implications of atomic bombs. "You can never tell when other nations will develop the atomic bomb on their own." Mr. Thomas gets so enthusiastic about the implication of the bomb that he's still speaking when NBC finally cuts him off the air.

Morgan Beatty analyzes what's "unofficially" happening. Beatty says that he "felt" that President Truman had something like the atomic bomb in mind while he was at the Potsdam conference. Sven Nordberg reports from Stockholm.

Following at 2:15pm EWT, Today’s Children.  Otto receives a visit from his mother, Mrs. Schultz. Will he ever see again? Jan thinks about her feelings towards Otto...she's afraid he might regain his sight! News bulletins follow the story. The second fifteen minutes of "The General Mills Hour."

First up, Johnny Madero, Pier 23 starring Jack Webb, originally aired June 19, 1947—78 years ago. In “Find Pete Sutro,” Johnny, a waterfront tough guy, finds himself tangled in multiple murders. It's a gritty performance in the style Webb would later make famous in Dragnet.


Next, Challenge of the Yukon starring Paul Sutton, also from June 19, 1947. In “Grizzly,” a prospector is shot and a Mountie is murdered by a pair posing as trappers. They enlist Grizzly Martin to fetch supplies—and attempt to persuade him to kill Sgt. Preston.


Then it’s Dangerous Assignment with Brian Donlevy, originally broadcast June 19, 1951, 74 years ago. In “Assignment: Japan,” U.S. agent Steve Mitchell is sent to Tokyo to stop a plot aimed at blowing up participants in a peace conference.


Following that, Nick Carter, Master Detective starring Lon Clark, from June 19, 1949, 76 years ago. In “The Case of the Perfect Alibi,” a criminal murders the prosecutor who sent his brother to the electric chair—while he appears to be 150 miles away, speaking with the Chief of Police!


Finally, a lighter touch with Lum and Abner, first broadcast June 19, 1942. In “How to Boss Your Wife,” Abner shares his wisdom on handling women… while his wife Lizabeth quietly sews on a train!

The cast discusses plans for the summer. The two CBS telephone operators appear.

First, an episode of Stand By for Crime from 1953 entitled The Wetback Murders.   A visit to Tijuana ends with a roadblock and a dead body in the trunk. Glenn Langan stars as Chuck and Adele Jergens as his girl Friday.

Then from 1954,  The Wetbacks.  In 1954 CBS Radio, as part of its Unit 1 Documentary series, devoted an hour to the problem of illegal immigration and what was being done about it at the time. And roughly, its about the same that’s being done now. The arguments are almost exactly the same then as they are now; the conversation hasn’t changed much, except the topic of drugs and cartels wasn’t an issue then. In 1954 we were in the midst of Red Scare Mania and the fear came over the possibilities of a flood of Communists rather than drugs and gangs.
