SEEK CONFERENCES
TO END AIR BEDLAM
Hoover, Weeks and DENLY
May Find Solution for Radio
Tangle Before Congress.

Conferences between Secretary of
commerce Hoover and Secretary Of
war Weeks and Secretary of the Navy
Denoy are expected to go a long way
toward clearing up the "bedlam in the
air" and place supervision of all radio
communication in the Department of
Commerce, under provisions of the
keliogg-White bill. on which hearings
were held yesterday before the House
merchant marine committee.
Control must be established over
the Dedlam from 1000 radio trans
m1ttlng stations, Secretary Hoover
toid the committee. Representatives
or amateurs and various others in
eerested In wireless communications
also were heard by the committee.
The bill provides that the Commerce
department shall have supervision
over all radio communication, assign
ing wave lengths. approving appa-
ratus, licensing operators and other
wise supervising wireless communi-
cation to bring out of the present
chaos of Jazz bands, sermons, crop
reports sporting services, concerts
ana what not running simultaneously
on the same wave lengths.
Army and Navy Protest.
Vigorous protest was entered by the
" dT anu NAVY departments against
provision of the bill which stipu-
lates that whenever government ap-
paratuS is used for other than gov
ernment business it shall come under
the supervision of the Commerce De-
partment. The Navy, represented by
Rear Admiral Ziegemeier, protested
that Navy operators in many cases
would have to obtain licenses from
the Commerce Department if the sec
ton was retained. Secretary Hoover
told the committee he would confer
with Secretary DENLY in an effort to
reach an accord on that feature, but
he insisted. that the Navy should not
be permitted unlimited privileges to
the discontinue of other users of
wireless.
Secretary Hoover said the broad
casting problem is undermining the
useful possibilities of the whole art
of wireless. Thousands of requests,
he said, are arriving each month from
all parts of the country that some
regulatory action be taken. Some
cities, he said, have as many as
twenty broadcasting stations, each
interfering with the others.
