RADIO REGULATION BILL
 IS PASSED BY THE HOUSE
Measure Gives Commerce Department Control of Sending Stations Other
 Than Governmental

Washington. Feb 1.-Thef federal
 radio control bill, vesting broad pow CTS in the department of commerce
 for regulation and supervision of all
 phases of wireless telegraph and tele-
 phone communication, was passed yesterday by the house.
 The bill is intended to bring order out of the chaos in the air resulting from thousands of stations competing on similar wave lengths. Licenses would be required from all transmit ting operators except Government em- ployes, and the Secretary of commerce would assign wave lengths to various stations and supervise, when neces- sary, their sending periods.
 A section of the bill dealing with possible monopolies of the wireless business of the nation vests in the secretary the power to refuse or re- yoke licenses where a monopoly is threatened. Army.Hnavy and all other government stations. although exempt from the licensing provisions, would be required to conform to the rules when handing commercial or other non-g government business. The as- signing of wave lengths for the gov ernmental plants would be in the hands of the president.
 The bill provides for an advisory committee consisting of men appoint ed by department heads, radio experts and amateurs to keep abreast of de- velopment, and the needs of the wire- less industry.
 Amateur receiving stations would not be affected by the bill. and anna teur transmitters would have special | series of wave lengths set aside for | them.

The bill is that concern. ing the teaching of citizenship and re- intcs to course in all elementary schools public and private. The bill was debated in the senate yesterday.
 Mir. Buckley said the bill was ap- rarentiy all right until one reached the last four lines. but after providing for the teaching of citizenship in both public and private schools 1t goes on end allows the state board of educa- ton to step in with whatever propa- ganda 1t might choose and this would lead to trouble. He said he would of- fer an amendment eliminating the authority of the state board of educa- tion, and he wanted the house mem hers to have a chance to think 1t over before the bill comes up for passage.
 On favorable report the house un. der suspension of rules elected the following judges:
