PRESSURE ON SPACE
: -\VHEN small boys stop exploding like six-guns. and start roaring like rockets’ and hissing like ray-guns, adults care! The universe of the younger fry is an expanding one. It’s akin to heresy these days to suggest that Tom Corbett will never cope with the monstrous Martians as wel] as Bill Cody did with the wily Sioux, An intensified outbreak of this space fever can be expected shortly-say, in about the time it would take for a space patrol to reach the moon. The ZB stations are to begin broadcasting Space Cadet, an interplanetary thriller which, on radio and TV, has taken young America by storm. Each four episodes makes a complete adventure. The scripts -written by a New York urologist. and a former vaudeville actor-are, it is said, calculated to satisfy the most discerning student of travel in outer space. Willie Ley, the German rocket expert, is one of an advisory panel which ensures that the facts are correct. Even
that cogmic malady, space fever, was carefully computed from technical pressure tables. Space Cadet, which replaces Superman, plays from ZB stations at 5.45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning from 1ZB on Decembef 10, 2ZB on December 22, 3ZB on December 31 and 4ZB on January 12 next year.
