A Novel Relay

UST prior to the Presidential election in the U.S.A., the Columbia Broadcasting Co. sent its star announcer into the streets of New York with a lapel microphone and the necessary l equipment to interview the "man in th street" anent the candidates.

It has been suggested broadcasting authorities might learn a great deal if such a broadcast were repeated in connection with programmes.
