Beginning Oct. 1, 1962, it would cover 14 million aged people drawing social security or railroad retirement benefits-and skip 2,000,000 not so covered. As the A.M.A. points out, King-Anderson would help some people who might not need help, and would not cover others whom Kerr-Mills helps.

Last year General Manager Robert Hyland, fed up with 24 hours of music, decided on a final gamble before getting out. His novel plan: skip the disks for four prime hours daily and substitute news, interviews, listener questions and erudite conversationalists. After what Hyland recalls was "the longest pause in broadcasting," station staffers agreed to give...
