BING CROSBY-KRAFT DISPUTE NOW OVER
Bing Crosby and the Kraft Foods Company, his radio sponsor, have patched up their differences and Bing is returning to the Kraft Music Hall Thursday night program beginning February 7, according to John H. Platt, vice-president of Kraft and director of advertising. The lawsuit started by Kraft in New York on January 3 has been withdrawn.
Frank Morgan and Eddie Duchin will continue to appear with Crosby on the national network program, Platt said.
Bing is starting work on a new motion picture in the near future and will be on location part of the time during the next few months, which will make it necessary for him to be absent from the Thursday broadcasts occasionally according to Platt.
"Needless to say, we are most happy to have Bing back on the Music Hall Program," Platt said. "I know the radio fans will welcome him as heartily as we do and we can promise them that the Music Hall will continue to be tops in entertainment as it has been for the past twelve years".
