COUNTERSPY

CONTENTS:

     The broadcasts opens with, "Washington calling David Harding, Counterspy!"  It was wartime, and the newspaper headlines were filled with espionage cases.  The enemy was Germany and Japan and the scripts for this series mirrored these events.  First heard over the ABC Blue network beginning 05/18/42, it continued until 08/31/50.  Mail Pouch Tobacco was an early sponsor, then Pharmacraft, Schutter Candy and finally Pepsi Cola.  The series then moved to NBC from 10/13/50 until 09/24/53.  Gulf Oil sponsored the bulk of these broadcasts.  The finally series of programs were heard from 10/05/53 to 11/29/57 on Mutual.  David Harding was played by Don MacLaughlin and Mandel Kramer was heard as Peters his assistant.  This was a Phillips H. Lords production.
