We delay the start of our scheduled program to bring you a bulletin from CBS News. Washington. The State Department has issued a statement in response to the proposal by Jacob Malick, the Soviet delegate to the United Nations for a ceasefire in Korea.
The State Department said that if Malick's proposal is more than propaganda, adequate means for discussion and end to the conflict are available. The State Department said we are ready to play our part. This bulletin has come to you from CBS News.
Now resume our regular program. Broadway's My Beat from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the godiest, the most violent, the lonesome-est mile in the world. Broadway's My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
The night time starts at the river before it closes over Broadway. a wind drifts in with the moisten shadows, flings them into the street, flattens them against the gutter, picks a man waiting for a bus and wraps darkness around him. And a light comes on and another, and down the street there with the crowd has gathered against the traffic
signal, high above the maneons, sputters, flames. The spectaculars dance, somebody runs into the street and yells, come on, and everybody does. Night has come to Broadway. And where There I was, there was a wind.
The built-in wind, the thing composed of poor ventilation, tears, shed and unshared and bottled chemicals. It was the basic ingredient of the city morgue, though not to be found on blueprints or bills of specifications.
It was something new to the man walking beside me. This place? This place? Just take it easy, Mr. Larson. I'll tell you something. I guess it'll sound funny. I've read about places like this, I'd close my mind to what I read.
