ning, as a feature .of the "Co-
lumbia Presents Corwin" series.
Written by radio's foremost
I writer - director - producer, Nor-
man Corwin, and starring film
actor Robert Young, the broad-
cast will tell the story of Pales-
tine Jewry's whole-hearted devo-
tion to the cause of the United.

Palestine's contribution to the
war has been the subject of
much discussion in - recent
months. Br i t i s h Information
Services report that more than
30,000 Palestinian Jewish volun-
teers, out of a total Jewish popu-
lation of 550,000, are serving with
British forces on various battle-
fronts. Working three shifts a
day, Jewish workers ' have in-
creased Palestine's production by
274 per cent since 1941. - Twenty-
five thousand doses of precious
typhus vaccine were shipped
from Palestine to the beleaguer-
ed Red Army in the crucial
months of -1942. Mr. Corwin's
play emphasizes this war effort
of "the arsenal of democracy in
the Middle East."
Mr. Corwin is the winner of
many awards for his work • in
radio and a number of his plays
have been included in antholo-
gies of the year's best dramas.
Two volumes containing his out=
standing scripts have been pub-
lished and are entitled "13 by
Corwin" and "More by Corwin."
In Detroit the program will be
broadcast over station WJR.
