grams and such important things
for Washington listeners as the q.
s. Navy Band concert at $50
o'clock this afternoon from WRC
and the Woodlothian chorus from
WMAL at 8 o'clock.
One OF the features of the days
broadcasts that may attract special
attention is the fact that WRC will
be sending programs out from Its
new studios for a continuous ID
hour shift beginning at 10 o'clock
