RECORDING* Announcer: Your Senator from Connecticut: Station WTIC presents another in a series of broadcasts in which-- on Thursday evenings at this time--Connecticut's two United States Senators, William Benton and Brien McMahon report alternately on matters of interest to their constituents. Tonight Station WTIC presents, Senator Benton in a discussion recorded especially for this station. Senator Benton will have as his guest Dr. Earl J. McGrath, United States Commissioner of Education. And now, Senator Benton. Benton: Thank you, Bob Coar, and good evening friends and neighbors in Connecticut. For the past three weeks==off and on--the Senate has been debating what is called the Tidelands Oil bill. One of the pecu- liarities of the Senate is that any number of subjects can be under discussion simultaneously. Thus, while we've been debating Tidelands Oil, we've also argued-- and argued to a decision--the reorganization of the Internal Revenue Bureau=-our tax collecting agency-- and the Japanese Peace Treaty, among other subjects. Those of you who heard my last broadcast on WTIC know By Earl James McGrath, U.S. Commissioner of Education, Federal Security Agency, Washington, D.C., with Senator William Benton on March 20, 1952, to be used over Station WTIC on March 27, 1952.
