She dedicated programs to shut-ins, plugged firemen's benefits, camps for underprivileged, visited cripples, became radio's No. 1 Benefit Girl. To "expand her prestige as an outstanding American woman" Collins last year arranged a three-a-week noonday broadcast of homely comment, book & play criticism. Sensitive to the rising tide of Broadway patrioteering, Kate last year got Irving Berlin to write God Bless America exclusively for her, sang it week after week until...
