+ "Everything For The Boys," a new radio program starring Ronald Colman, written by Arch Oboler and designed to give our servicemen on the fighting front what its title implies, will make its bow Tuesday over NBC-WKPT. The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Sherwood's "The Petrified Forest," with Ronald Colman headlining and Academy Award Winner Ginger Rogers as guest star, leads off the new series. The first program will also feature two-way, short wave conversations between Colman and Miss Rogers in the NBC studios and two young bomber pilots stationed at an air base somewhere in England, about to go on their fiftieth mission.
