What I want to tell you at this moment ls - that in a moment you will again hear from axfm my friend and colleague, Walter Cronkite, who so ably sat 1n for me when I was on my ~ecent expedition among the headhunsters and cannibals of New Guinea. Of course you all know Walter Cronkite. Just about every American has a l made his acquaintance through our national political conventions. As you know, he haa been the key man for CBS, at our recent national ,tt■ political conventions, sitting ill at that desk, relaying the convention news to you and•••••• acting as generallsalllo or the CBS news forces on the convention platform and on the floor. Walter Cronkite as you of course have sum1sed is a veteran news man who has had wide experience as a reporter, and anx news gatherer here at home, and in the foreign field. I am lucky indeed to have him handling our program while I am off gathering this n material • for both radio and television. Nearly every night I hope to get through to you from here 1n the Far North. And now, for the news of what has been golin 1n the 110rld today, here is Walter Cronkite.
