A look back at June 30, 1934 tby Sir Hugh Greene
This was Hitler's ' Night of the Long Knives ' when many of his Storm-Troopers — the S.A. — were murdered. Hugh Carleton Greene was then in Berlin as correspondent of the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Times. He saw something of what happened that day; only later was it possible to understand more fully why it happened.

Chorus-Master, Glynne Jones and the BBC WELSH ORCHESTRA Leader, John Bacon
Conducted by ARWEL HUGHES Produced by Gareth Bowen
Also heard by listeners to the BBC World Service
Preparations have been going ahead for many months-but is the ceremony really a glorious but irrelevant pageant for 400-million television viewers around the world? Or has it a more lasting significance? What do some of the people of Wales think of the Investiture ... and the young man who is its central figure? These are some of the questions posed in this programme, which will include frank interviews with Lord Snowdon, with the Secretary of State for Wales. and with the Mayor of Caernarvon, Alderman I. B. Griffith.

Peace and Dripping Toast by FREDERICK WILLIS abridged by Cristina Sellors Read by CHARLES LENO
Produced by John Cardy
First of five instalments
' The signature tune of the Nineties was undoubtedly Tara-ra-Boom deay. It was introduced to me by my Uncle Harry who had so many offspring that he claimed he once entertained two strange children at his dinner table under the impression they were his own.'
