RADIO CONFERENCE
 WILL OPEN TODAY
Effort to Be Made to Regu- late Wave Lengths in
 the Atmosphere
By Associated Press

Washington, February 26.-Secre- tary Hoovers radio Nconference called for the purpose of investigat- ting all questions relating to the use and development of the radio telephone meets tomorrow confronted with the problem of allotting wave lengths" in the air to the various classes of users of the new means of communication to eliminate interfer ence.
 say. unaver,- will hn.sthe prrsonsa representative of the American small boy"
 Under regulation now in force wave lengths are allotted averaging about 3eo meters for amateur broad casting to 1.soo meters and above for government stations and long range communication with ships and point to point communication on land.
 Experts of the department of'com- merce who are charged with the en- forcement of regulations designed to prevent monopoly of the air by telephone and telegraph companies but at the same time assigning the ether waves so as to permit the greatest use of wireless telephone for commercial purposes and anna teur development have found 1t nec- essary to rearrange the present al- lotments of the air lanes.
 The government, which recently instituted a broadcasting service un- der 4S5 meter wave lengths for mar ke. reports, and S60 meter wave lengths for entertainment, news and educational talks, found much inter- ference through the great number of amateur radio telephone enthusiasts and other classes of operators with little attempt at uniformity of wave lengths suited to each type of in- strument.
 One of the purposes of the confer ence it was said, will be to assign wave length to each class of instru- ment and user.
 Representatives of the telephone ard telegraph companies and other commercial users of radio tele- phoney as well as amateurs will be heard and there is a possibility, ac- cordng to officials. that recommen- dation will be made for new legisla- tion by Congress, covering a possible distribution of wave lengths and re- classification of radio and kindred services.
 The radio experts of the depart ment of commerce say they have tentative plan concerning the distri- button o. wave lengths but that no announcement will be made until the conference gets under way At re- cent meeting of amateurs the depart ment urged them to accept a wave length of 250 yards. but they de- mandee, it waS said, 275 yards.
