1.-THE first announcement that there
would be a Jim Crow Sing on the Ell
lipse appeared last. Saturday in the
daily papers; apparently the whole al
fair was very hastily gotten up so that
those who were to participate in IL
would not have time to learn the truth.
Many who did take part were unaware
of the humiliation they were bringing
on themselves until the program had
started.
'"The first number on the program

ROMPING AROUND
RADIO > DIAL
BY Listener-In

Broadcasting shoulders the
weightiest burden Of its career to-
day.
Wires from Cleveland to the
North, South, East and Middle West
will carry most of the audible
sounds of the Republican Conven-
ton and interpretive reports on
the committee room proceedings
of that body to listeners in prac.
tically every State.
The chief interest. however, in
this immense plan of broadcasting
seems to lie in discovering how it
works.
Later in New York at the Demo
cratic convention will come the
tense moments. the rivalry of can
didates and the colorful sounds Of
political battle.
There viii be much dullness about
the routine of the Republican con-
informer's lot will be a difficult
one.
To Break MOnOtOny.
Aside from the high spots-the
keynote speech of President Marion
Leroy Burton, Of the University of
Michigan, the placing Of the name
Of President Coolidge in nomination
and the cheers that will accompany
the nomination and the ratification,
presumably on the first ballot, the
announcement of the platform on
which the party will stand for cleo
ton. and vigorous contest for the
Vice Presidential nomination-there
may be expected long interludes of
pure monotcny.
Graham McNamee, veteran, gold
en-tongued announced Of WEAF.
will be at the Cleveland convention
hall microphone. At his right hand
will be Jim" Preston, Of the Sen.
ate Press Gallery, who will: observe
the proceedings and tip McNamee
off as to what goes on on the
convention floor
The judgment Of these two men
as to when 10 switch the Mike
direct to the hall. to the speakers
tables or to cut it off entirely will
make or mar the success Of the
broadcast.
Big Radio Audience.
There will be a tremendous radio
audience at noon today, perhaps the
largest in radio history.
But to us and to many others
the urge comes not so much from
wanting to know what's going on
but from wanting to know WHAT'S
it like"
After WEAF and WCAP got
their advertising section out of the
