Subject: Shooting to kill
In the last Digest, the question was raised about radio heroes shooting to
wound or kill. As any law enforcement officer will tell you, if you are
facing an enemy armed with a weapon, there is no option of shooting to wound
or kill. You shoot to kill. But in the radio westerns, the hero was not
supposed to be that bloodthirsty, especially when he was endowed by the
writers with superior marksmanship.
However, in the very first Lone Ranger broadcast, in early February, 1933,
the episode titled "Ezra Holten's Mine" makes reference to the masked
fighter for justice having dispatched eight badmen with bullets between the
eyes. One suspects that George W. Trendle, having heard this first episode,
was aghast at the violence suggested and immediately ordered Fran Striker
and Jim Jewel, the director, to tone down it down. Indeed they did. For
many years, up to about 1944, the Ranger just shot the guns out of the
badmen's hands. After that, the scripts depicted the masked man's shots
hitting shoulders, arms and legs. The Ranger never intentionally shot to
kill, but one wonders when he was faced with massive Indian attacks with
hordes of savages riding down on him, were his bullets as carefully aimed?
In one gripping episode, "Call to the Colors" from December 15, 1950, he is
trapped in a crude sod hut with the wife of a soldier and besieged by a
hundred Indians. He continues to shoot through the thin door at the
marauders on the other side until help arrives in the nick of time. Those
bullets probably found their mark and sent some braves to the Happy Hunting
Ground.

That's great news. So now comes the flood of inevitable questions:
1) is there any sort of timeline on this project?
2) have they started recording yet?
3) have they selected the cast, yet?
4) is there a venue for leaving suggestions?
My suggestion: please, /*please*/ use organ music, not orchestral music
as heard on the website samples. I can put up with a lot in OTR
recreations, but in this particular case, the lack of organ music would
be a deal-breaker. They didn't call it the "god box" for nothing.
I'd love to make that suggestion directly, but don't know the proper way
to do that, or even if it's too late. More news would be appreciated.

Subject: re:Hindenburg Disaster
On Larry Moore's query about Wikipedia reporting that the famous radio report
of the Hindenberg disaster didn't air until the next day:
WLS Radio has a fairly detailed history page at their website,
[removed]. There, they state that Herb Morrison's report on the
Hindenberg disaster was a case of field recording. There was no arrangement
made for a live hookup. Instead, Morrison and engineer Charlie Nehlsen
recorded the report on location, using disc-cutting machines and large
acetate discs. After the accident, Morrison and Nehlsen had to lay low for a
few hours, because German officers were following them. But the recorded
report aired the next day on WLS, and also aired on NBC. Here's the web
address to the WLS history page mentioning the Hindenberg broadcast:

Subject: Hindenberg Crash was NOT broadcast live
The recordings of the Hindenberg were not broadcast live. They were first
aired on a Blue Network special the following day. Herb Morrison appeared on
the broadcast and about 10-15 mins. of the transcriptions that were cut the
previous day at Lakehurst were played.
They were not edited. They palyed the actual transcription discs made at
Lakehurst.

The question raised about scripting is an interesting one. In
Wikipedia it states that the narration of the disaster was not
broadcast until the next day! Is this true? If so, there would
have been time for manipulation. Larry Moore
In general your attitude should be that NOTHING IN WIKIPEDIA IS TRUE.
Postings are written and can be changed by any schlub with the ability to
type on a computer keyboard with one finger. The May 8 Dilbert cartoon you
referred us to is especially appropriate!
Now that I have gotten THAT out of the way, because Morrison's recording made
during the event was not a live broadcast, yes, the RECORDING was aired only
the next day after Morrison flew with the discs overnight from New Jersey to
Chicago. But what he said had been recorded the previous evening and could
not have been edited in any way. I have seen and carefully examined the
original discs. The disruption of the grooving at the point of the explosion
is easily discernible. I have a first generation tape of the original discs
made by the National Archives especially for me (since I needed it without
any filtering or restoration. What was broadcast is what was recorded.
The second of the two (or three) live NBC network programs playing a portion
of the recording exists, and there was no manipulation or editing of the
pre-crash statements other than the selection of where to begin playing the
disc. Morrison chats with Bob Brown (who I knew late in his life as Robert
Vahay Brown when he lived in Lexington, Kentucky) on that broadcast, and it
is possible that some of it, especially Bob Brown's intros, are scripted.

Subject: WIS radio call change??
Regarding the recent item from Bill Knowlton about WIS radio changing its
call letters, I thought WIS dropped their historic three-letter call sign 23
years ago. I wasn't sure what he's talking about, so I'd say the item is
false. I also checked with my friend, radio historian Thomas H. White, and
here's what he had to say:
"This has me somewhat confused. WIS-560 became WVOC on 12/31/1986,
and there hasn't been a WIS radio station since then, although
the WIS call was kept by a local TV station. There is a WISW-1320
which uses "WIS" as its slogan--maybe its owners are having a
disagreement with the TV station on continuing to use the WIS slogan."
So, Bill and the rest of you, maybe this answer will help. Let us know if
you find out more details.
