Radio Dial
By Listener-h

L. By Listener-In -
Rumblings of an approaching holi-
day could be heard at various points
on the air last night. Tonight the
faint rumbling will burst into
deafening roar of patriotic band
music. patriotic speeches and flag
waving programs in general.
Practically every station has
scheduled some sort Of special In
dependence Day bill. Heading the
list is the monster program from
WEAF, New York. which will be
broadcast by chain of stations ex-
tending from coast to coast includ-
ing our own WCAP.
For this Defense Day program.
which will begin at 8 o'clock. ar
engagements have been made for the
largest chain of stations which has
ever been hooked up for single
program. Those taking part in the
program will not all be in New
York, either. many OF the features
being picked up from other parts OF
the country.
It will be something to which
every real radio fan win wish to
listen. If not for the program itself.
at least to be present at such a
momentous event in radio history.
Incidentally, in order that local
fans may hear the national pro-
gram, WRC has consented to give
part Of its time on the air to
WCAP. This is the first example of
cooperation of this sort between
the two local stations for a long
time. But it is an example which
should stand as long as the time
"a divided between the two.
There is no reason whatsoever
for one of the stations to refuse its
time on the air to the other, II the
one which requests the change has
an obviously better program. OF
course If the change is not re-
uuested early enough, or il the
value Of the program is matter
of dispute, the rule does not holo.
But the stations hold licenses
from the Government which IN
themselves are getting almost as
valuable as a seat on the new
York Stock Exchange, and IN re-
turn for the right to broadcast,
they owe an obligation to the
listening public to cooperate SO
that the best possible may De ON
the air at all times.
Outside of the Defense Day pro-
gram through WCAP, the high
light of tonight's program VIII be
the weekly concert by Crandalfs sat
