...sing "I Got a Home on a Rock, Don' You See." The singer was not Roland Hayes, although for years Hayes has been the only Negro to sell out a hall of Carnegie's size.

A pacifist, Bishop Jones is looked on by broad churchmen as Liberals eye a Red. Last week broad and high churchmen heaved sighs of relief when the diocesan convention of Southern Ohio elected Howard Chandler Robbins, onetime Dean of Manhattan's famed Cathedral of St. John the Divine, as Bishop-Coadjutor...
