ing of the conference committee of
the Senate and House, 1t was learned
today.
The Introduction of this new ques.
ton to the matter of radio legislation
ct present looms more important and
more difficult Of solution than the de-
cision as to the type of commission
that Is to control the ether, and in
some quarters 1t is believed 1t may
even nullify the hopes held through
the Summer OF passage of a radio bill

Frequently Suggested.
Granting special consideration to
pioneer broadcasting stations and pro-
xiding them with free ether channels
as long as they continue to operate
as public service has been suggested
at nearly every radio hearing in both
the Senate and the House, but in the
belief that the situation could be ade-
quately controlled without specific
legislation the suggestion has been al
lowed to drop and the matter Of
priority left to the judgment of what
ever radio commission should be es.
tablished
The recent entrance into the broad
casting field of many new stations
and the adoption of whatever wave
lengths were desired by both new
and old stations. regardless of whether
such acquisition interfered with old
and long established broadcasters,
however, has so confused the situa-
ton that it is now believed only a
definite clause in the radio bill can
etraighten out the tangle that has. de-
veloped in the past four months.
On the other hand, there are many
members of both the House and
Senate. who, it is known, will oppose
any plan for legislating any special
privileges to any broadcasting sta
tons, and will insist on a policy of
q free ether"
tumble Hard to Cure.
Should the White bill .o- enacted
without a priority clause, 1t is be-
lieved any radio commission would
hesitate to accept the task of un-
tangling the ether jumble and OUT
lining a system of limitation of
broadcasting.
So far, the broadcasters who were
the first to begin operations and who
have been largely responsible for the
development of radio as it is found
today. have In general refrained from
jumping !, their wave lengths and
have remained in operation on the
channels originally assigned them
by the Government. In many cases,
however, they have been victims of
the wave jumps made by other sta.
tons
:, 1t is believed likely these stations
will present their case to the con-
ference committee as soon as it con-
penes in Washington next month,
and will support the proposal for
extending consideration to them for
their work.

SHAFT TO Be VISIBLE
FROM west MAIN ST.
Park to Be Graded to
Permit View From
Highway

In order to have the World war
memorial when it is erected atop
Walnut Hill park visible in its en-
tirety from West Main street, the
committee has decided to grade one
sloping hill where a series Of high
crested banks now exist, which
would make only the upper portion
Of the obelisk visible.
The huge eagles on top of the
shaft will be visible from almost
every point in the city both by day
and night since it is planned to have
flood lights thrown on it during the
evening hours. The committee felt,
however, that It would be advisable
to make it possible for those passing
through the city to have an un-
interrupted view of the entire me-
mortal. hence the decision to grade
the park at this point.
George V. Hamlin, who is leading
the movement to erect permanent
court of honor instead Of shaft on
Walnut Hill park. stated today that
he has not yet forwarded to Mayor
Weld the petition OF protest which
he has been circulating but will do
so toward the end of the week.
