RADIO CONTROL BILLS
 EXPLAINED IN SENATE
One Would Limit Licenses to Two Years-Other
 Increases Govt. Power

Washington. Jan. 8 P-The question of radio control shifted from the house to tHe senate today when the senate interstate commerce committee began consideration of two measures dealing with the sub joct.
 Senator Dill, Washington, laid be- fore the committee his measure plac- ing wide powers in the hands of the department of commerce, while Sen ator Howell republican, Nebraska, asked reaffirmation by congress of the inalienable ownership of the people of the United States of the air to which only temporary privi- lege might be granted individuals,
 stephen B. Davis, solicitor of the commerce department, was quos- tioned as to Senator Howell's ap- prehension that broadcasting sta tions may attempt to claim vested rights in their use of the ether
 Senator Howells bill would limit the term of any broadcasting license 10 two years, and he asked Mr. Davis the circumstances surrounding the recent sale by Charles Erbstein to the Liberty magazine of a broad casting station in Elgin, H., at q price placed at $50,000.
 Mir. Davis admitted that despite the fact that other applications were pending for stations in the Chicago vicinity. the Erhstein station was re- licensed 10 it's new owners, the con- merce department policy being that license is granted primarily to broadcasting apparatus and not to individuals.
 He asserted that the transaction involved no increase in the number of broadcasting stations in the Chi cago vicinity. With passage Of the new radio measure, he said that the departments policy would be not to permit an increase in the number of stations in Chicago and vicinity where congestion now exists.
 Senator Howell sought to show that the licensing of high powered stations removed many smaller sta. tions from the broadcasting field but the witness asserted that licens. ing of more and smaller station: would not prove satisfactory, the use Of a single wave length by severa less powerful stations being general, 1 ly satisfactory.

day was postponed from next Saturday
until July 81.
Thomas E. Burke, secretary and gen
eral manager OF the illinois Jockey

entries.
1t was also explained that the track
is not yet near enough complete to
handle to advantage the large crowds
expected for the running of the event.
Hay recommended a two weeks post
ponement, but Bourke authorized a
three weeks delay
BY the time the derby now is run,

u. S. Forest Services In
California Takes Harsh
Steps to Prevent Fires
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. The
United States forest service, fresh
from an encounter with half dozen
serious fires in California forests,
took drastic action today to prevent
any new outbreaks. The service
picked out what it considered the
most hazardous area which is To-
Gated in the Shasta national forest,
and closed it to all pleasure seekers
and others, except those given spe-
cial permits.
No smoking will be permitted in
the hazard area except at improved
places of human habitation.
The last two big fires to be re-
ported were both in the Sequoia ma
, tional forest. One in the Kings river
region had burned over 5000 acres
before being placed under control
today while the other, sweeping along
Tule river had burned over 10000
acres. This was surrounded today
also, and will be out in a day or
two, the forets service said. 1t is
being fought by 275 men.
Lightning yesterday started nine
fires in the klamath national forest
one of which destroyed the Seiad
bridge across the klamath river. All
of these fires were quickly controlled.
