Charles Dornberger and his or chestra are now being heard over CBS from the popular Hotel Roose- welt grill in New York.

 Jack Mills, New York music pub fisher, is fostering a radio cxperi- ment tha twill bear watching. Mills is of the opinion that listeners who like popular music on the air have also been educated to liking for semi classics and the new type of light symphonic" melodies. Hence the concern that Mills heads is publishing new series of Stand ard American Works" for express use of dance band leaders on the air, in contrast to the regular parade of. dance tunes. Thus does Mills believe that real American music of better type will be per- petuated and presented to America through radio.
