The broadcasts will consist
mostly of straight news reports

far made, and there may be some

BY CARL HELM

New York. - Our recent sur
mise that a lot of folks in the
fashionable" Forties and Fiji
ties (eaSt) would welcome a
chance to gather and sing
hymns on a Sunday morning
provoked skepticism both here
and abroad - by which is
meant, out there in America.
Of course, as many point out,
there are churches in the Sec
ton. But they are either the
Park or Fifth Ave. kind, or the
old established parish churhc-
eS - and in neither can a Mid
westerner rise up and sing as
he did, say. in the M. E.. or U.
B. church back home - sing
loud, inharmoniouSly, for the
joy and need of it.
I know they would, if they
had the chance. They sing
around the piano in my home
On Beekman Hill on Saturday
nights - young ones as well as
middle-aged ones, and they
