...thousands of New Yorkers who on summer nights go to the Mall in Central Park, to the campus of New York University or to Prospect Park in Brooklyn to listen to Edwin Franko Goldman's band, no tune is more familiar than his march, On the Mall. Well do they know its words, its lively chorus with breaks during which they whistle and sing la-la-la-la. One night last week the Goldman Band launched into On the Mall, but for once not under the baton of white-mopped Bandmaster Goldman. On the podium stood a dark, chunky...

Elaborately disclaiming any "official" standing Lord Riddell acquired a room in the U. S. Navy Department's stucco building on the Mall, proceeded to "dope" the conference for U. S. newshawks twice a day. Even during the long periods ot closed sessions, Lord Riddell's "unofficial" well of information, always extremely accurate, never went dry. His presence was a Godsend to correspondents who had to turn out daily conference stories whether...
