SIR ALAN HERBERT, author and politician, is happiest when tilting at one or another of England's "established institutions." When, therefore, he tilts simultaneously at Chelsea's "artistic" set and the English "county" set, the onlooker is in for some fun. In "Tantivy Towers," a light opera by Herbert and Thomas Dunhill, to be broadcast soon, listeners will find plenty of wit and satirical humour, and, withal, a serious side not entirely obscured by the Chelsea man who shoots the fox to cheat the hounds. The opera will be broadcast first by 2YA, at 8.0 p.m. on Friday, March 26, and later from other YAs and YZs
