she was held captive by her Kill
napers.

RADIO CONFEREES
+. LOOK FOR REPORT
Dill and White to Advise COL
leagues of Compromise
Efforts Tomorrow.

All that came out of the first con-
ference of the joint congressional COM
mittee on radio Thursday was an agree
xnent that the conferees ought to agree,
Thav chatted pleasantly about the
existing situation for some two hours,
decided something ought to be done,
then delegated Senator Dill of WASH.
ington and Representative WHITE Oh
Maine to report to them tomorrow
whether they could compromise their
conflicting views on how to regulate
and control broadcasting.
Not that the meeting took any
facetious turn. The friendly discus
sion, according TO Senator Dill, was
simply an indication of a spirit of con-
cession by which the conferees hope
to- arrive at n definite compromise.
Sees Permanent Plan.
After the meeting Senator Dill
again expressed his confidence that
permanent and not temporary radio
Legislation will emerge this season.

and five Representatives, who COM
prise the conference committee, he
said, was wholly satisfactory, for CO.

for action.
The leaders of the two houses in
matters pertaining to radio legisla-
ton are spending the week trying to
work out a scheme of control favor
able to both houses.
May Be Commission.
Each is the author of bill that
has passed his chamber, and each
represents the diverse opinion hither-
to prevailing on the two sides Of the
radio conference committee.
Senator Dill's bill provides a per-
manent salaried commission for the
regulation and control of all phases
of civil radio. Representative White
wants the power vested in the De-
partment of Commerce with a board
of appeals sitting periodically to re-
View the decisions of the Secretary
of Commerce. Just how far the con-
ferees will concede on the question of
what amount of power shall be
given a commission-for it seems most
likely that provision for some sort of
board will he made on the COM
promise bill--remains to be seen.
