RADIO CENSORSHIP
MOVEMENT GROWS.
Fans Protesting vuIgarity
and Advertising Hold Only
Chance for Action.
BY CARL III. BUTMAN.

II there is need for censorship
of the air, the great family of listen
ers must decide, and insist upon law
which prevents the broadcasting of
objectionable matter. Despite many
requests and suggestions filed with
the Department of Commerce and it's
field representatives, Secretary Hoo
yer and his radio aides declare they
have no authority to censor matter
and do not desire to impose any regu-
lations which might interfere with
the normal development of radio
broadcasting.
During the past few months the
department has received hundreds
of complaints from radio listeners in
all walks of life and distributed pretty
well over the whole country. They
charge that Objectionable matter is
creeping into radio broadcasting. To
be sure, only about dozen of the 563
stations have been attacked. The
chief offenders among these black
sheep" of Hooyer's broadcasting fold
are located in or near Chicago, New
York. Boston and Los Angeles. 1t is
naturally from these quarters that
most of the complaints come, but
there are a few from every important
radio center. On percentage basis
broadcasting Is pretty clean; only
little over per cent Of the stations
are bad" the rest providing
wholesome. entertaining and popular
programs. The question of what is

it up, objected seriously to the plan
Some are charged with soliciting ads
for broadcasting, others sell space
openly to advertisers, who give sales
talks on anything from automobiles to
spectacles. Once an oculist broad
caster offered to fit his auditors with
glasses for any ailment of the eye,
of Optometrists objected to such prac-
tice. Ads in the press are labeled,
writer's pointed out, calling attention
to the fact that a number of advers
Using experts claim radio is a good
medium for publicity, but practically
useless as a means of direct adver-
Using. They believe that forcing ad.
vertising on one is impractical and
Objectionable.
The commerce radio officials believe
that as soon as a station engages in
direct advertising it will lose prestige,
its listeners will protest or tune it
out, and that the result would be 10
discourage the advertising policy in a
short time. Good will is the broad
casters only real asset it seems, and
as such should be preserved.
Secretary Hoover has said: 81 be-
ieve the quickest way to kill broad
casting would be to use it for direct
advertising. The reader of the news
aper has an option whether he will
read an ad or not, but if speech by
the President is to be used as the
meat in a sandwich of two patent
medicine advertisements there will be
no radio left. To what extent it may
be employed for what we now call
indirect advertising, ! do not know,
and only experience with the reactions
of the listeners can tell The listen
ers will finally decide in any event"

COMPOSERS GROUP
TO HOLD FESTIVAL
Pen Women's League Offers
Program of New Works
for Next Week.

Because Washington is rapidly be-
coming recognized as the logical must
cal center of the United States, the
native woman composers have chosen
to hold their first music festival in
the Capital City, and to have their
newest works performed by leading
Washington singers and musicians.
The way for this festival has been
well prepared by the convention here,
last week, of the World Fellowship
Through Music group, and the re-
markable performance for the first
time in Washington of Bach's B
Minor Mass" by the Bach Choir.
Similarly, the festival to be held next
week, April IS to 80 inclusive, will
prepare the way even further for
the festival program of the National
Council of Women, which will outline
the history of music in America.
Dorothy De Muth Watson, Wash
ington representative of Musical
America, a journal of music, is re-
sponsible for this festival. An ardent
Washingtonian, Mrs. Watson or
ganized the composers group OF the

announcement that Mrs. Edward
MacDowell. widow of Edward Mac
DoweIl. considered by many authori-
ties as this country's greatest COM
poser, will attend the festival. Mrs.
MacDowell herself is well known as
pianist and especially as an inter
prefer of her husbands works.
She also is in charge of the famous
Mac Dowell Colony, on the large estate
at Peterborough, y. II.
Local soloists and musical organiZa-
tons who will participate in the fes-
tival include the United States Navy
Band, the Davidson Glee Club, the
Washington Choral Society, the Mon
day Morning Music Club. the Lewis

stations are reported as obscene, al
though several are said to put on
vulgar programs or ones which verge
on vulgarity. while others offend by
what is termed direct advertising.

These fans say that broadcasting
should not be prostituted to the dis
gushing uses to which 1t is put. They
further characterize certain broadcast
ing as an insulting monopoly of the
local air.
At one time a Pacific station was
charged with misuse of the air in
broadcasting. but it is believed to have
mended its ways. a Seattle station

There is merely regulation which

was originally intended to cover code

only understood by GENERATORS skilled

messages carry speech ineligible to

regulation all the more.
II anything is to be done it remains
for the listeners to instigate a move

detail regulations and penalties. They
must not leave the administration to
