Mrs. Carter's ability to get mike-shy experts on the Town Meet ing platform has won her a reputation as the woman who "wires notables for sound." Since tak-& ing over leadership of the Town Hall Forum division, in 1937, the attractive Chicagoan has tracked down hundreds of the nation's leaders and induced them to ap pear on the Thursday night Town Meetings. Often she has to run through a list of over twenty public fig ures before finding a suitable and willing speaker. Prerequi sites for a Town Meeting invi tation are a fairly good radio voice, ability to stand the heck ling of a "highly articulate local audience of several thousand" and above all, an expert knowl edge of the topic under discus sion. Up until the last minute, Mrs. Carter can't be sure of her speak ers for the week's Town Meet ing. She once spent 70 dollars in phone bills and five days in track ing down and persuading an internationally-famed lawyer to appear on a program, only to have him back out 24 hours be fore show time.
