In small Bethlehem, jammed with tourists last week, the U. S. chaplain of Jerusalem's Collegiate Church of St. George touched a button which set ringing the bells of St. Thomas and Old Trinity in Manhattan. A great radio audience listened, feeling that this was properly Christmassy.
In Washington, Dr. Albert Joseph McCartney grumbled against "commercialization," filed a complaint with the Federal Radio Commission against Station WRC (National Broadcasting Co.) whose Christmas broadcasts included a reference to the Star of Bethlehem as symbolic of what electric light companies had to sell.
