The radio conference recommend
ed that the waves be assigned the
various sending services in bands,
the total possible wave lengths,
namely from 100 meters to 6, 1000
meters, to be divided into 81 bands.
For instance. public broadcasting
would have 'three bands. namely the
4S5.49 5-nleter, the 650-750-meter
ana L,o50-1,500-meter bands. With
one exception the pending legislation
would write none of these conces-
sfons into the law itself. but would
give the secretary of commerce wide
discretionary powers in administer
ing the use Of radio, recognizing that
the art Is developing so rapidly that
f. would be pnWise to write restric-
tons Into rigid law. " Hs'.e
The exception is the wave band
granted to amateurs for their priv
ate sending. The amateur band,
which cannot be changed except by
changing the law, is from $50 to 275

the amateurs the exclusive use of

Each of these services will have I'M

The bill itself provides that all
transmitting stations, except govern
ment stations, whether amateur or
commercial, must have licenses
granted by the Department of Com
merce, and that the operators also
must take out licenses. Aliens are

1t would be hard to find a cause more worthy Of support than
the Students Loan Fund for which an effort is now being made to
raise $4,000 Helping boys and girls obtain an education is the
most permanent way TO build for the future. Perth Amboy has a
great many ambitious youths who are deserving of all the help that
can be given them. Without outside assistance, however, it is next
to impossible for them to continue their studies. 1t is the purpose
of the Students Loan Fund to supply this need.
1t is the ambition of every parent to give his children a better
chance in life than he had. The best start in this direction is a
good education. Those who have had to work up from the bottom
realize what il means to go through such q struggle. To them the
appeai TO AID worthy students ought not to fan on deaf ears.
The success Of this fund means a great deal to Perth Amboy
The campaign now on should not end in failure,
