POLITICS FILLS
AIR TONIGHT

Radiotics with a political complex
will be in their element this week
when the wave lengths will float
more pride-point and alarm-viewing
than anything else-particularly the
first two days OF the week. This
evening the Republican State con.
vention will meet in New York city
to nominate candidates for State Of
fees. At Syracuse the Democrats
meet for the same purpose.
The first dash of politics will
swoop through the microphones Of
WIZ, WGY, WMAK and WFBL at
| $40, when ogden Mills keynotes the
Republicans in New York city. At
o'clock the Democratic keynote
will be sounded far and wide by
the same stations from the lips OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt. The sta.
lions will alternate at the two con-
ventions during the nominating OF
candidates and the balloting for the
next two days.
NO GRAND OPERA
FROM WRC TONIGHT
Loud-speaker addicts, who have
been thoroughly enjoying Cesare
Sodero's grade opera performances

learn from the program Of WRC
that the National Capital viii not

evening. And, although no explana-
ton is given for the cancellation,
1t is understood there will not be
any more Of the WEAF grand
opera filtered through WRC's
microphones.
From where we have been sit.
ting In thorough enjoyment OF this
semi-detached opera season the de-
cision Of WRC seems to be with
out justification and sample Of
rather poor program judgment.
