Names in the News : Kate Smith Museum Planned
<i> From Times staff and wire service reports </i>
The late Kate Smith isn’t forgotten. A group of fans is trying to raise $500,000 for the Kate Smith-God Bless America Foundation and turn her Lake Placid, N.Y., home into a museum honoring her 50-year career. Richard Hayes, an official of the foundation, says the group will retain the house’s tiny radio studio, which Smith used to broadcast her show at the time, and plans to reissue her work on LPs, tapes and compact discs.
