By ROBERT ,. ThORNbUhGH
A new common law-the COM
mon law of radios in the pro-
cess of the making. Judge Stephen
b. Davis. solicitor of the Depart
ment of Commerce, declared today
Davis is conducting survey
to determine just what is tie law
pertaining to- radio. At the pres
ent time, he said, an authoritative
statement concerning the legal
fundamentals governing the many
phases of radio activity is I'M
possible.
Solutions In Fight
With the solution of scientific
problems OF the industry in sight.
radio already has plunged into a
maze OF legal intricacies which may
equire a generation to untangle.
[ncIuded in the legal questions still
unetermined. are rights as to the
use Ef the ether property rights in
broadcast material. relative rights
Of sending stations. listeners ana
operators of non-radio electrical
devices, scope of Federal regulation
and liability for misuse Of radio as
means for slander or libel.
While Secretary of Commerce
Hoover regards radio as interstate
commerce and therefore subject TO
Federal regulation, a case is now
pending in the Federal court at Chi
caRo Involving the right Of the Gov.
ernnent to fix wave lengths, the
result of which may entirely change
the aspect of the situation.
Some OF the questions which must
he determined by court decisions
in the evolution of radios common
law are:
1. Does listener whose enjoy
ment of radio is interfered with by
a Ieaky power line or defective
electrical apparatus, have the right
OF action against the corporation or
person responsible for that annoy
ance?
Q. Does the Government have
legal authority to issue the same
wave length to two or more sta
tions, the result of which would be
interference between stations, inn
peding reception to the listener
g. Can one broadcasting station
proceed against another operating
on the same wave length because
of resultant interference, when
both are operating on an authorized
frequency?
4. Is a radio station liable for
damages when an entertainer or
speaker not in its employ utters
sianderous statements from its mi
crophone?
Property rights in broadcast
material must be decided through
the building up of common law
through court decisions. as well as
by legislation.
Experts pointed out that it f.
possibIe for one station TO take n

cast it, or for a receiving station

while numbers of kilograms of con-
gratulations also went forward to the
Florida city. Miguel Dominguez has
