Radio: The Two Marxes
Du Mont last week lost its highest-rated program, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen's Life Is Worth Living. This fall the show will be carried by ABC on its full radio network and by 117 live ABC-TV stations. Sol A. Rosenblatt, attorney for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, a charitable organization that receives all the commercial fees paid to Bishop Sheen, said the switch was being made because "the financial emoluments are so much larger, and the coverage is better." The proposed new time, 8 p.m. on Thursdays, will compete with NBC's top-ranked You Bet Your Life. Quipped Bishop Sheen, who often discusses the origins and ideology of Communism on his show: "Viewers will now have a choice of two Marxes—Groucho or Karl."
