Men who have made the New Deal will explain in their own words and from their own offices their functions and what they have been doing as the Nation wrestled with an economic ogre. Many Shifts Necessary. Interspersed with swift dramatiza- tions of historic incidents in the two- year period, microphones will be switched on, in rapid succession, from executive, departmental and legislative chambers—even to con- gressional committee rooms and to the first public broadcast of a meeting of the War Council. Weeks of paimstaking effort have gone into the production of this broadcast, with no detail spared, in order that it might reflect accurately as well as dramatically the spirit and feeling of current Government. The program will begin at the hour when thousands of school children through- out the country usually listen to the “School of the Air.” One month of research in the Library of Congress and all Govern- ment departments preceded the writ- ing of the script, which was edited as carefully as if a history or civics textbook was being written. Will Total 20,000 Words. The script for the broadcast will run more than 20,000 words—about one-third the length of a novel. The production will have five directors, 47 speakers, a large dramatic cast, 15 announcers, 30 engineers, and 175 musicians—including the three service bands in Washington and the Colum- bia Symphony Orchestra in New York. R ECAUSE Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt does not have a rehearsal for her weekly broadcasts, & speaking “understudy” takes care of that for her. The rehearsal is necessary to “time” the script to fit into the 15-minute program. Mrs. Roosevelt, who prepares her copy by dictating to her stenographer, generally arrives in the studio five minutes before air time. £ S NEW musical feature called “Canaries and Organ” will make its debut over WOL Monday at 9 am. Real canaries will take part in the program. The birds will sing while Jimmy Rich plays the organ.
