ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial

Judging from our mail we have
plenty of support from the listeners
of washington on our suggestion
that the local stations should switch
their broadcasting nights in oder to
take more of the best features from
VIZ and WEAF, New York, and
WGY, Schenectady.
But strangely enough, the man
ayers of the two stations involved
in the suggestion have completely
ignored the suggestion and have
not even been kind enough to re-
spend with their regrets
In one OF our columns last week
we pointed out that the two local
stations are missing nearly all of
the best features from their sister
stations in New York because of an
illogical division OF the broadcast
ing nights. For instance, WRC
cannot put the WGY plays on the
air because on Fridays when they
are always given WCAP has the air,
and likewise WCAP cannot broad
cast the Eveready hour and the
Tuesday night because WRC has
that night on the air.
Letters approving the scheme be-
gan to come in the day after the
suggestion was published. Some Of
them were from men high Ia local
radio circles. For instance, Mark
LanSburgh, OF Lansburgh and
Brothers, has written ais follows:
May finish off the hot after
Moons work by dropping you a line
to the effect that I heartily endorse
the suggestion made by you in
your sListener-In' column night he
fore last anent the switching OF the
Eroadcasting periods between The
two local stations SO that Washing
ton could obtain many of the fea.
fure programs from New York and
Schenectady.
az, too, would particularly enjoy
the Schenectady WGY DRAMAS but
even with specially built teen
soredD find it Is difficult to enjoy
the WGY stuff; just at the time
the villain is about to be shot. the
heross voice fades INTO nothing and
one never knows whether the fol-
lowing crash is the revolver or
static"
We believe theksentiment amcng
local listeners, ifN could be regis
tered, would show almost an undi-
vided approval of the plan to
switch nights and get more Of Kew
Yorlk's best output. Certainly un-
less there is some unforeseen OBJ
stacle in the way Of such a move
the two stations should get To-
gether. and make new agreement.
The present arrangement OF
broadcasting nights was made more

OLYMPIA. Feb. II.


Dear Folks Well. it's at last II is customary on
this day every years for The Star to raise shout OF
thanks because the legislature adjourned leaving TO et
everything in the state which the citizens had taken
forethought TO nail screw rope bolt and batten down.
But this legislature wasn't rs bad rs all that IL ddn
have time All in ALL the chances that good will come tom
Why If Governor Hartley is sincere IN ms appointments
great deal of good should not come from his program 80
The eynies will tell you that the new tax commission WIN
Just make taxes lighter for railroads and timber companies
perhaps taxing public utility companies, like light power
and concerns little heavily But If the tax COM
mission works honestly il will spread the load so that we
bungalowcitizens get up for air once IN while
The commission and the budget bill are the two bg Things
accomplished Both need intelligent operation With II they
will work successfully; without IT, they will fail Neither
10 foolproof
The budget bill is all right-bu it has oopholes. If the
governor wants to stay within buget he can certainly
make savings if he doesntwe, clever lawyer can
show him several routes thru the law
The sad thing about the session OF the defeat
of the seed wheat credits bill The methods used by the
governor to uphold his veto Of the bill weren't fair Sena,
tors and representatives who voted for the governor told
this writer that I'm in favor of the BILL but the governor
hasn't signed the road bill yet-and I've got couple OF
roads for my district" Others said II am for the bill
but have application for state job filed with the
governor"
These dishonest legislators were not at Olympia for you
they there for themselves They did not what
happened TO 500 farmers In mdstate they worried
about their personal fortunes.
Well. perhaps that's only human Gosh only knows what
we'd do ourselves in similar case But we think we'd play
fair and be able to sleep easy nights.
As has been said before. it'll be different story in
November. And the governor knows it. The report now Is
that the legislature is be called after Thanksgiving day
That will give il Just time TO get thru another short pro-
gram before Christmas.
Many of YOU il is Judged from your letters dsap-
pointed because certain bills failed to get thru this time
The only thing do is TO keep after your egisaorsbut
don't place too much faith in their promises.
There important things in the world to worry
about than lawmakers pledges.
