Speaks Here on

WWJ on Saturday "I make no compromises when Under Nazi Bombs"

Thornton Wilder, Pulitzer Prize
novelist and playwright, made his
first radio appearance since his
return by Clipper, Oct. 18, from
a six-weeks' trip to England, as
Rex Stout's guests on "Speaking
of Liberty," Thursday, Oct. 30.
Sponsored by the Council for
Democracy, the program will be
heard in transcription over Sta-
tion WWJ in Detroit at 5:30
p. m. on Saturday.
As the representative of the
American P. E. N. (the inter-
national federation of poets,
playwrights, essayists, editors and
novelists), Mr. Wilder attended
the International P. E. N. Con-
gress in London, Sept. 10 to 13.
He was one of the five authors
elected to the International Exe-
cutive Council of P. E. N., the
only American to be so honored.
Born 44 years ago in Madison,
Wis., Mr. Wilder was educated
at Oberlin College, Yale and the
American Academy in Rome. His
novel, "The Bridge of San Luis
Rey," won the Pulitzer Prize in
1928, and his famous play "Our
Town," won the same prize in
1938. He is also the author of
"The Woman of Andros," "Hea-
ven's My Destination," and other
novels.

This is the key to the platform
sounded by Josephine Gomon in
her campaign for the Common
Council. Mrs. Gomon was nomi-

The Nazi dictatorship has turn-
ed many one-time adherents of
"art for art's sake" into crusa-
ders for the democratic way of
life and government. Erika Mann,
who is to speak here on Mon-
day, Nov. 10, at 2 p. m., at the
opening meeting of the Sister-
hood of Temple Beth El, has been
transformed from a young woman
whose driving ambition was to
go on the stage and whose lei-
sure time activities included ski-
ing, swimming, ear-racing and
cooking Bavarian dishes, into an
ardent fighter for freedom. She
says that her one purpose in life
is to work for the downfall of
dictatorship.

a change in the date of Alex-

Cass Theater. Because of a sev-

awaiting ship passage to England,
all Mr. Woollcott's engagements
for his lecture tour had to be re-
dated. On Friday, Dec. 12, Mr.
Woollcott will tell the story of
his weeks in London, as only "The
Town Crier," "The Man Who
Came to Dinner" and the author
of "While Rome Burns" can.
There will not be a lecture sub-
stituted on Nov. 7, the original
date of Mr. Woollcott's lecture.

JOSEPNINE GOMON

sued the following statement in
behalf of her candidacy:
"Your vote for Josephine Go-
mon is a vote for go6d govern-
ment and sound intelligent plan-
ning. From her past record you
can judge her future acts.
"Josephine Gomon helped plan
and put into operation the pro-
gram in Detroit for meeting the
devastating social and economic
problems of the depression. This
program was later adopted by
the Federal Government on a
national scale to meet a national
emergency.
"Josephine Gomon has worked
officially with every department
and every commission in the city
government. She understands the
functions of city government. She
won't have to learn her job at
taxpayers' expense.
"Josephine Gomon has no obli-
gations to or "tie up" with any
"special privilege" group or any
business interests which would
influence her judgment or her
vote on city affairs. She is in-
telligent, thoroughly experienced,
capable and honest. She is the
candidate of those who want good
government."
