| President Roosevelt's address io a special session of Pan-American Union directors in Washington, D. C., will be broadcast by NBC-Blue, CBS and Mutual networks at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. You may hear the program by dialing WFBM or WGN.

Also in commemoration of PanAmerican Day, the Mutual network at 9 o'clock tomorrow night will broadcast a program of Latin-Amer-ican music, featuring Bidu Sayao, famous Brazilian coloratura soprano who sang for the Metropolitan Opera this “season. The United States Marine, Navy and Army Bands will be combined for the concert, which will originate in tne Pan-American Building in Washington. : ” ” n Radio writers frequently remark - that the junior network (Columbia) has raided the senior network’s tal-. ent house, walking off with many of NBC's most popular entertainers. It has seemed that CBS, in the last couple of years, has signed many | topflight NBC stars for its shows. NBC, though, has not been’ asleep at the control board, and the shift of good shows from CBS is rather obviolis just now. Newest likely change is Kate Smith, who has been signed by the current sponsor of “We, the People” to re- . place that program next fall. Although the hour and network has not been settled, and Kate might remain on the junior chain, it is thought she will move her “Bandwagon” to Radio City. Despite the fact that her shows

The first, Edgar Guest's “It Can Be Done,” 1s carried by NBC-WLW at 7:30 o'clock, and features dramatizations about persons who prove “It Can Be Done.” “It Can Be Done” tonight will feature the story of a “dog detective,” Daisy Miller, who runs a New York clearing house for lost and strayed canines. Miss Miller, in radio’s em=bryonic days, had to broadcast over WABC-without a prepared program. She talked about dogs.

A program of music by and about the American Negro will be offered on the “Musical Americana” broadcast at 9:30 o'clock tonight over WFBM.

There will be a wide variety of selections, ranging fromthe traditional “spirituals” to works by George Gershwin and Duke Ellington. Soloists will include the CBS baritone, Clyde Barrie; Ruby Elzy, so-

Mr. Gershwin's folk-opera, “Porgy and Bess,” and Vivian Collier Doug- | las, soprano, who understudied Ann Brown in the role of Bess in the same production. Serious music by Negro composers will be Nathaniel Dett's “Juba Dance” and William Grant Still's “Lonely Acres.” In the dance vein will be Duke Ellington's “‘Day-Break Express.” From the Gershwin opera you may hear ‘My Man's Gone Now” and the duet, “Bess, You Is My Woman.” The case of Negro music, aside from the folk-spirituals, rather parallels that of Spanish music during the last century. Until recent years, no native son had given us as compelling a tonal picture of Spain as had Bizet, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glinka, Chabrier and other “aliens.” So it is only recently that Mr. Dett, Mr. Still and a few others have contriblited much to the music of their own race. i” ” » It is said that among all Jewish

Yet we must return to the spiritual to find the most poignant expression of Negro thought. and life. These simple, powerful songs, especially when sung by such artists as Paul Robeson, Roland Hayes and Marian Anderson, stand with the great folk music of the world.
