F. C. SOWELL . . . From newspaper to radio was an
easy step in the stride of this young man, who directs the daily affairs
and maintains the high standard of programs at WLAC. Aside from his
executive capacity, he finds time to participate in actual broadcast work
in an original presentation acclaimed as one of the better achievements of
radio.

Convicts Aid Crime Crusade
Converting a hobby into a venture which experts agree will bring a marked
decrease in the crime toll of the next generation, General Manager Sowell
brings WLAC listeners vivid "Crime Never Pays" lessons, from the lips of
inmates of the Tennessee State Penitentiary. These weekly prison
interviews led to the organization of WLAC's Committee for Crime
Prevention, with 1,000 members from 16 states enlisting voluntarily in two
short weeks. The accompanying photo below shows an actual broadcast in
the office of Warden Joe Pope (right) as the stripe-garbed prisoner (back
to camera) answers the questions of Mr. Sowell. Chief Engineer Binns in
