COMMITTEE BACKS
REVISED DILL BILL
Single Amendment Forbids
Stations to Discriminate
in Politics.

With only one amendment, the Sen,
ate interstate commerce committee
has approved the revised Dill radio
bill. The one amendment would pre-.
vent broadcasters from discriminating
against any political party in the
transmission of addresses by candi-
dates for political offices.
According to the amendment, if n
broadcasting station turns over its mi
crophone to the candidate for Office
from one party, 1t must also provide
the same opportunities for the candi-
date from the other parties. 1t is fur
ther provided that the officials of the
station shall have no right to censor
my political speech except to prevent
lalse, fraudulent, profane, obscene
or slanderouS statements"
The amendment also makes the
same provisions regarding the broad
casting of all addresses on questions
aHecting the public. Rules and regu-
ations that will carry the provisions
INTO erect are to be made by the Ma
uonal Radio Commission, authorized
under terms of the Dill measures.
Several other amendments offered to
ne Dill were voted down by the COM
mlttee and the measure, when report
ed to the Senate in n few days, will be

PARK ROAD BLOCK
MAY BECOME 2.!WAY
Commissioners to Hear
TruckIoad Arguments
Monday Morning.

Another addition to the District
traffic code which would make Park
road a tWo-way thoroughfare between
Sixteenth and Mount Pleasant streets.
and prohibit parking on the north
side of the street, was recommended
TO the District Commissioners yeSter-
day by Traffic Director NJ. O. Eldridge
Park road now is a one-way street
for west-bound traffic between Four
teenth and Mount Pleasant streets.
Mr.. Eldridge proposed the change
because of the recent agitation for
making Park road a two-Way thor
ouGhfare. The street is an important
fire run, he pointed out, and it would
not be feasible to lift the one-way re-
striction between Fourteenth and Six
teenth streets. The Fire Department.
however, offered no objection to tho
proposal to make the street a two-Way
thoroughfare between Sixteenth ana
Mount Pleasant streets.
The new recommendation, coupled
with the investigation the Commits
sioners are making into suggestions
that the gross weight of commercial
vehicles be reduced from $4,000 to
20 900 pounds on Highway and seven
other bridges. and that the heavy
trucks be prohibited from running on
residential streets, resulted in another
postponement in action OH the joint
report of Mr.. Eldridge and Chief of
Police Edwin B. Ilesse for condensing
the traffic code.
The Commissioners already have
heard the protest of the truck owners
against the proposed amendment TO
the traffic regulations, which would
reduce the tonnage of their vehicles
but will hold public hearing Monday
morning at 10 o'clock to consider
the suggestion that the trucks be
barred from residential streets.

and Maj. Hesse, and the truck ca
pacity limitations questions, it was

How to Use Amperites for Tandem
Control.


The use Of separate rheostat or
amperite control for each tube is not
necessary in multitude sets. In the
usual type of five-tube sets only three
filament controls are necessary. You
can use one fllament control for the
two radio frequency tubes, another
for the detector tube and the third
for the two audio frequency tubes.
If YOU intend to use q power tube
in the last stage you canot group
the last two tubes on one alnperite.
The best arrangement in that case is
to use one amperite for the two radio
frequency tubes. The detector and
first audio frequency tubes can h<'
grouped together TO be controlled by
another anIIcrite and the last audio
or power tube can have it's special
type amperite control all by itself.
Many fans are puzzled to know
which type of amperite to use when
connecting two tubes in parallel, be-
cause the amperttes are designed for
individual tube control.
Draws Double Current.
A little analysis of tube character
istics will show that the power tubes
draw just twice the current of the
other tubes in their class. However,
their voltage requirements are the
same as for the other tubes in their
class. Thus the UX-1l2 and CN-l12
both operate on ) volts, the same
voltage as the UX201A, CX30lA,
CS2C1A. and C-301A. but their current
draw is 5 amperes. or twice that of
the other standard tubes.
Amperite No. 112 is designed to
take care of the current require
