Some may disagree...but I see no real necessity in connecting the ground wire to anything on a radio as recent as a 1938 Philco.

Do not attach the ground lead back to the chassis, there is no point in doing so since that lead is already connected to the chassis internally.

Yes, hook up the antenna to one of the two leads. Whichever one makes the set play louder is the antenna lead.

The original colors for the two leads were WHITE for the antenna; BROWN for the ground.
