...lively enough to capitalize it remains to be seen but at least the party which last year looked as though it were hunting for the legendary valley where elephants trudge to die was once more very much a going concern. Its headquarters last week were not the Program Committee's offices in Chicago but the busy suite in Washington's National Press Club Building, where the staff of Practical Politician Joe Martin's Republican Congressional Committee was figuring out ways and means to round up votes...

Instead of such firebrands Columbia today maintains an innocuous interdenominational Church of the Air, while National Broadcasting Co. gives time to the Federal Council of Churches and the Catholic Hour run by the National Council of Catholic Men. Judged by fan mail, however, none of these programs is radio's most popular religious broadcast. That distinction belongs to a sectarian, time-buying program-the Lutheran Hour, which in the past three years has expanded from two to 62 stations on the Mutual Broadcasting System. With Rev.
