The House of Representatives Special Committee on Un-American Activities Authorized to Investigate Nazi Propaganda and Certain Other Propaganda Activities was led by Congressmen John W. McCormick of Massachusetts and Samuel Dickstein of New York. The last of six public hearings is held in New York at the Bar Association building. Nazi sympathizers cut WNYC's microphone cable and the station receives threatening phone calls.

Kurt Vonnegut traveled down 'the blue tunnel' for WNYC and met some interesting people. We've never had another reporter like him before or since.

With great sadness we note the passing this week of a good friend and supporter of the archives. New York Public Radio Board Member Lex Kaplen was behind us from the very beginning. We'll miss his dropping by and enthusiasm for our work.
