...reporting of this gathering in TIME also shows that your organization is wide-awake and has a nose for news. None of the northwest metropolitan newspapers that came to my attention gave this convention and celebration any notice whatever, either before, during or after the gathering. Practically all of the northwest newspapers are reactionary and, like Lot's wife, are looking backward. The Hoover era to them means happy days never to be forgotten and they sigh for their return...

...offerings seem dull stuff even on weekdays. Music, mostly classical, predominates in its schedule. The Corporation pays ordinary performers poorly but will go as high as $2,500 for a broadcast by someone like Maurice Chevalier. Best thing done by B. B. C. is the production of radio drama. News bulletins are supplied by Reuter, Exchange Telegraph Co., Press Association and Central News. When B. B.
