. . . 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.

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 background.
