Through The Static

The best bet yesterday came through from WGY in the afternoon. The WGY symphony orchestra sent out a program of high grade selec- lions, most of them being well known patriotic numbers, The clos ing number, "A Military, Fantasy" especially attracted our attention be- cause Of the novel arrangement and tho excellent rendition, The number began with bugle call, closely fol- lowed by "The Battle Cry of Free dom," When Johnnie Comes Marching Home" Marching Through Georgia" Aud Lang Syne" and other numbers.
 This orchestra, regular feature on Sunday afternoon programs from the Schenectady station. provides varied programs of entertainment. It is the habit, and q good one tod, of the announcer to describe the st ory of the selections played and tell some thing of the lives of their compo- SerS.
 The Venetian Serenaders from WDWF, Providence. Sunday even ing feature from that station, rem dcred their usual fauItless program
 last evening. This group, although never breaking into foxtrot time, plays many of the best tknown dance selections, and they offer only those which are worth remember ing, taking he big hits from some of the musical plays. They present at intervals selections from the grand operas and songs that will never grow old, letting the listener in on well rounded program from which nothing is lacking.
 There were many, many organ re- citals on the ether last night, but all appealed to some extent. some of the best recitals of this kind that we have heard being presented. Among the stations which broadcast organ | music were WDWF, Providence; WEAF and the "Combine": WGY, Schenectady; KDKA, Pittsburgh: WGR, Buffalo; WIP, Philadelphia; WOO, Philadelphia: WHAS, Louis vile; and who knows how many others?
 The Waldorf Trio, out of WEAR, ! Cleveland, did some excellent work in classical numbers, and just as we were getting a good opinion of this group, they launched into Me and | My Boy Friend" Why they did that no one knowsi The other selections were all that could have been de- sired and the program was complete. The Waldorfs were composed of piano, violin and cornet, and each member of the group proved him. self a skilled musician before the program was brought to a close.
 A vocal duet Garry Me Back To Old Virginny," by two singers, the names of whom we did not hear, was

! interesting item on the program.

 On Saturday night stations came in with unexpected volume and we were taken off our guard. WsAI at Cincinnyi roared in as loud as Springfield, and il Is our hope that listeners in in this city ware able to add a few more DIX stations to their lists.
 "The Coo-Coo Club" met at WTAM Saturday evening, presenting Its usual program of popular instru- mental and vocal numbers. Ev. Jones' orchestra was never heard to better advantage, and the bass horn player sure made himself heard. The announcer Is again reading tele- grams on Saturday nights, and we are glad that feature has been re- 
 A new station to us drifted into the speaker Saturday night. This one is located on Anticosti Island, way up in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. AL though we listened several times to the announcements we could not make out the call letters of the sta ton. The announcer said "FQ" or FER" we couldn't make out which. The station was broadcasting on about 365 meters and came through loud, Accordion and. fiddle solos were featured.
 Giuseppe de Luca and Mime Toti Dal Monte will make their radio debuts on Thursday evening at 9l o'clock, when the fifth famous artist recital will be broadcast by WEAF and the Combine" Both are with the Metropolitan Opera company.

Teachers College of George Washing
ton University drafted reply today

cation and chairman of its special
platoon investigating committee, in
viting him to appear before the COM

TOCONTROL
RENTS ASSERTED
Senator Jones Sees No Limit
to Right of Congress to
Regulate District.

Congress has such absolute powers
over the District of Columbia as a
Federal territory that 1t can pass a
rent law without fear of having 1t
held a violation of the Constitution,
Senator Jones of Washington said to-
day at the White House. Senator
Jones is member of the Senate Dis
trict committee and of tha subcom-
mittee which is conducting hearings
on the proposed rent legislation
which was sent by President Coolidge
to Congress for its consideration.
The Senator said that his mind was
entirely open on the subject of rent
legislation for the District, and that
he is anxious to develop all of the
facts in the course of the hearing.
Chances Of Bill Even.
Senator Jones does not believe that
Congress would even have to place
the regulation of rents under a
police clause in order to have the
law held constitutional. The Legis-
latures OF the States and the National
Legislature are given certain powers,
but in the Congress of the United
States rests all power so far as the
District is concerned, he said, and
1t can do anything in a regulatory
way SO far. of course. as II does not
take property without due process OF
law.
Senator Jones said at this time Il
appears that the chances OF passing
the rent bill now under consideration
is about $3.50.
Fcss Says Relief Needed.
While he is opposed to the princi,
pie OF rent legislation, Senator Fes.
OF Ohio said that Congress will hav.
to do something to relieve the bur,
den on tenants In the District. Tn,
Senator let 1t be known today tina
ne is being deluged with hundreds o.
letters from real estate interests ir
all parts OF the country demanding
that he oppose the proposed legisia
tion to regulate rents in the Distric
now pending before Congress. Tt
all Of them, the Senator said, he Is
writing that the conditions here are
such that the tenants must be pro
vided with some relief
