Later that same day, after the President's voice had boomed, too loud, through the cluster of amplifiers, the name of Henry Wallace set the galleries afire. From every corner of the Stadium, packed with PACsters, came the chant: "We want Wallace!" At this point the Wallace nomination might have been roared through. Balding Chairman Sam Jackson, try as he might, could not stop the chanting and the noise. Finally, he called for adjournment. The entire Stadium rocked with a chorus of "No!"

Since 1904, when Pope Pius X pronounced on the subject of sacred music in his famed encyclical Motu Proprio, the use of "modern" music...

This evening's program, in keeping with the policy of variety, ranges from liturgical selections to musical comedy. Two Bach chorales will open the recital: "Jesus, Meiner Seelen Wohner," and "Wachetauf, Ruft Uns die Stimme." This will be followed by "Salvation Belongeth to Our God," a chant by the Russian sacred composer Tchesnikoff. By sharp contrast, the Glee Club will continue with "Schnelder's Band" by A. J. Mundy, closing with a group of two operetta favorites, "Stout Hearted Men" from Sigmund Romberg's "New Moon," and "Old Man River," Jerome Kern's classic from "Show Boat...
