RADIO CENSORSHIP
CRISIS is PASSED
Department of Commerce Remains
Aloof in Station WFBH
Controversy.

The first crisis in radio censorship
has passed with the Department of
Commerce still maintaining its
avowed attitude of aloofness.
Station WFBH, owned by the Con
course Radio Corporation of New
York and operated from the roof OF
the Hotel Majestic, was first restrain
ed from broadcasting because the
hotel authorities objected TO the ma
terial put on the air and then award
ed an injunction preventing the hotel
from interfering with it's work
It was learned yesterday that in.
quiries were made at the Department
of Commerce as to what steps the
Government would take TO prohibit
broadcasting material and that the
department referred the matter back
to the owners of the station for a
solution.
The Government, 1t was reiterated,
has no intention of exacting any cen
sorship of broadcast material. II oh
jectionable matter gets on the air, Il
is up to the station to arrange its
own censorship, it was said.
Many communications of protest at
questionable music and stories are
sent to the radio section of the de
partment and all are returned 10 the
station from which the matter was
broadcast, without official comment.
There has been noticeable decrease.
however, in the number Of these com
plants in the past few months.

Policing the Air.

Before broadcasting commercial ma
terial, either advertising or publicity
matter, the National Vigilance Com
mittee of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World suggests that sta
tions be sure the copy or text is not
only interesting but true, and also
that the advertiser is reputable. When
broadcasting such programs it also is
requested that station announcerS tell
the listeners in advance what they
are about to hear.
While this organization finds most
radio broadcasting stations have
adopted and maintained a high stand
ard of requirements as to material
transmitted, they find that some sta
ton managers have occasionally failed
to fully safeguard their own popular
ity and good reputation which this
use of the air must maintain if the
broadcasting is to be commercially
effective or aid in paying for the
costs of broadcasting. Studio facili-
ties here and there, recent report
from the vigilance committee states,
have been made accessible to adver-
tisers whose copy would not be ac-
cepted by first-class newspapers and
magazines. Possibly they believe,
some lf-styled doctors" for exam
pie, who have found other advertis-
ing channels closed to their copy, are
seeking this new medium of reaching
the public Several broadcast efforts
of this type prepared in imitation of
bona fide financial. health or technical
talks have added little to the reputa-
ton of the stations used, the report
states. other stations when offered
apparently safe material by unknown
concerns have discovered, when they
consulted the Better Business Bu-
rtrry1a
that either the material or prospective
client was undesirable.
| The committee also suggests that it
! is necessary to quote frankly the
source and purpose of all commercial
! hroadcasts 50 that the fans will know

C. & P. TELEPHONE CO..
TO INCREASE FACILITIES
Equipment in Three States and
District to Be Greatly In
creased as Need Grows.

Plant facilities of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Co. here, in
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia
will be greatly increased in the near
future, the company announced today.
New buildings, switchboards. stor-
age batteries, testing equipment and
other central office apparatus are in
cluded in authorization expenditures
for the next five years. Underground
conduit and cable extensions, poles,
lines. aerial cable. telephones and
many other classes of equipment
will be placed in service.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co. has added 10.611 telephones
to its system in the first four months
of this year. Compared to 1924 this
was 80 per cent gain in a 33 1-3
per cent period of time. The gain in
telephones for the District of Column
bia was 1856; Virginia, 2,5s3; Mary
land, 2,342, and West Virginia, 1.031.
A recent survey made by telephone
engineers shows that the telephone
company expects to have in operation
$50 900 telephones by 1880. This is
gain of 10000 stations in a five
year period. The company now serves
504 ,09S telephones, which is more
than double the number operated 10
years ago.

New Government Radio Policy.
new draft of the United States
departmental radio policy, TO replace
the old Roosevelt policy inaugurated
in 1904. will shortly be presented 10
President Coolidge by Director of the
Budget Lord. For several months the
interdepartmental radio advisory
committee has been working on a
draft of this plan for regulating radio
traffic and routine matters within the
several departments of the Govern :
ment, but the completed text, as ap-
proved by representatives of the State,
Navy. War, Post Office, Treasury and
Commerce departments. has just been
sent to the chief co-ordinator for
final examination. If il receives an
o. X. in his office, it is understood
that Gen. Lord will hand it to the
President within a weeks time.
Although this plan does not.aftect
commercial, amateur or private radio
broadcasting. il is nevertheless OF con
siderable general interest, since II
outlines the attitude of the Govern :
ment upon the operation of national
radio circuits, and makes for stand
ardization and cooperation of Gov
ernment operated radio stations owned
by the Army, Navy, Post Office and

Broadcasting Popular i'm Japan.
Japanese radio fans are applying for
receiving licenses at the rate of about
500 per week since broadcasting be
gan, the Department of Commerce is
| advised.
Applications for permits received by
| the Osaka radio broadcaSting bureau
between March Is and May / total
| over 10000. Importers of radio sets
believe even more sets will be in use
| as many persons will be tempted to
operate unlicensed sets to avoid the
tax.
The demand for radio apparatus OF
certain makes has exhausted the sup
ply in Osaka and Kobe. One large
American exporter. who has already
disposed of 1000 tubes in Japan, is
sending another 10000 shipment. A
Japanese firm in Osaka, reported to
be manufacturing 500 receiving sets a
month, is steadily running behind on
deliveries.
Broadcasting in Japan is yet in its
first stage of development. 1t was on
March 3, 1925, that the Japanese gov.
ernment authorized the Osaka radio
broadcasting bureau to operate the
first public broadcasting station in the
district and the third in Japan. The
others are operating in Toxic and
Nagoya. The Osaka bureau charges
approximately 75 cents month
against owners of receiving sets living
within 100 miles. In addition a fiat
tax of about 81 is levied on each set
by the government. The use of receiv.
I. ing sets Is further restricted by the
government to approved types of one
| and two tube regenerating models
| American tubes are very popular. but
meet some competition from japanese
tubes selling for less.
