C. w. Stiles Discusses Names

Just where the higher apes belong

actly what names we have a right to
call these hairy cousins. has been the
subject of an exhaustive study by
DIR. {. w. Stiles of the United states
Public Health Service. who has just
completed 150-page treatise on the
subject for early publication.
Ihis may look like a question Of

act opposite is the case. The study

Apes and monkeys are indispen-

study of human diseases. and \

possibly dangerous mistakes can he

Hoover Says He's Not Il Gar.

Radio fans will he Interested, If not
amused, in the recent attack on Secfe-
tary Hoover charging him with seek
ing to become ear of the ether.
White the Secretary has championed
the cause of the radio fans and fought
strenuously to preserve order in the
ether, he has never sought anything
for himself, unless it be Il little peace
and quiet and freedom from Interior
ence.
As the followers of radio doinGs
will recall, Mr.. Hoover has always
held that the authority given and
offered to the Secretary OF Commerce
was TOO great for one man, pointing
out that the regulation of radio should
be in the hands of commission.
His reply to the charges that he
might seek to use radio as a means
of personally placing himself before
the fans as presidential candidate
or TO secure backing from the broad
casters by virtue of his administra-
tive control of wave lengths. was char

Somebody needs to find out what
has already taken place before he
starts something" was the way he
answered his anonymous critics.
His full statement included the fol
lowing:

implication is that l have sought 10

Moreover. for five years | have
reiterated that these wave lengths are

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

A concert of Latin American music,
arranged by the Pan-American Union
and introducing to the radio audience
of the United States five of the leading
opponents of the musical compositions
of South and Central America, will be
broadcast Saturday by station WRC
from the Hall of the Americas.
The artists. all of whom will come
from New York and other cities to
Washington for the concert, are Clara
Elene Sanchez, Mexican soprano;
Alma Simpson, American soprano;
Laurette Howard American contralto;
Alfredo Oswald. Brazilian pianist, and
Elio Bolognini, Argentine 'cellist.
Practically all of official Washington
has been invited to attend and 1t is
expected that the concert will be one
of the most coiorful of the current
musical season of the Capital.
All of the artists who will partici-
pate in the Latin American program
are internationally known on the con-
cert stage and have recently COM
pleted extensive tours of the United
States.
Miss Simpson began her musical
career in Seattle, and after several
years of study in Berlin and Rome,
became widely known in South Amer
lea through concert tour of all OF its
capitals, the first such tour ever made
by an American singer.
Senorita Sanchez, whose musical
training has been supported by the
Mexican government, made her United
States debut recently in New York
and has been widely acclaimed for her
achievements. She is pupil of
Nine. Sembrich.
Miss Howard is widely known for
her interpretations Of songs in Spanish
and is a member of the famous Schola
Cantorum of Kurt SCHNEIDER. Her
last concert appearance was made in
November in Steinway Hall.
Mr.. Oswald IS the son Of Enrique
Oswald, generally reckoned the lead
ing composer of South America. and
was a former pupil of Giuseppe Buon-
amiei. He has appeared on the con
cert stages of France. Germany. Bel
gium. Italy, England and South
America.

RADIO BILL FACES
CONTEST IN SENATE
Freedom of Ether /
Among Disputed Issues
That Have Arisen.

Radio Legislation. which so far has
breezed along without serious opposi-
ton in the House committee hearings,
is to have a considerably rougher trip
through the Senate committee.
Even with the consent of Senator
Dill, author of the Senate measure. to
eliminate any music copyright mat
ters that might hinder its progress.
members of the Senate committee III
the hearing held this week have dis
played a tendency to oppose certain
Important para graphs of the bill.
Among the controversial questions
brought To the fore is the long-debated
freedom Of the ether In cross-eN-
anlining Judge stephen T. Davis, so
iCitor Of the Department of Com
merce. who appeared in behalf OF his
department. Senator Howell of Ne
braskH has indicated 4 tendency to
champion the cause of the would be
brOadcaSterS who are standing by
awaiting a vacancy in the present
hroadcasting wave bands. In this re
spect senator Howell has searched
closely into the possibility of widening
the present bands in order TO accom-
modate all oWners-a proposal which
50 far has received the veto OF the
Department Of Commerce.

regard To the sale of the Erbstein sta
tiOns in Elgin. H.. to Liberty Maya
zine and the subsequent transfer Of
those licenses to the name of the mag
aZine. Senator Howell has cndeaVured
To show that priority in applications
for licenses has not always been adj
hered TO Iy the Department of Com
Incrce.
In defending the transfer Of the il
cenSes Judge Davis pointed out that
ii was the apparatus that was licensed
and with the sale of the appara tuS
the name of the owner was merely
changed in the already existing Ii

In opposing widening Of the wave
bands for broadcastinS Judge Davis
has reiterated the policy of the de
partmeut that the 500-Odd stations
now on the air are, if anything, more
than enough to satisfy the public in
