RADIO GROWN
HOOVER Says

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 9.-Rad:o,
full grown to its stature of vital
force in American life, has developed
problems which must be solved with
government cooperation, Secretary Hoo
yer declared today in an address open
ing the fourth national radio confer
ence.
More than 400 delegates, representing
national and international interests in
the radio field, were on hand t4 hear
the secretary present to the conference
meeting at his call, his views on the
vital problems Of ether congestion by
the multiplication Of broadcasting sta
tions and suggestions for their soiu-
ton.
I'VE must face the actualities franz
ly," he said. "We can no longer deal
on the basis that there is room for ev-
erybody on the radio highways. There
are more vehicles on the road than can
get by and if they continue to Jam
thev will all be stopped"
While disclaiming any fixed view as
to the best solution, Mr.. Hoover ce-
clared there must be federation re
sponsitility" in traffic control on on,
side of the problem and on the othel
he suggested a large share Of contro
for the community itself as to VINO
shall serve it in broadcasting.
In other words, the ideal situation,
he said las / view it, would be traffi,
regulation by the federal government
to the extent Of allotment of the wave
length and control of power and tn,
policing of interference, leaving to, eacf
community large voice in determinin:
who are to ocupy the wave lengths as
signed to that community"
The secretary also warned that ;
growth of "too obtrusive" advertising
in connection with broadcasting prob
lens would in the end defeat the bes
interests radio enterprise itself
