SHORT TIME KILLS
RADIO LEGISLATION
Stop-Gap Resolution Drawn
Up, But Dawes Fails to
Get Around to 1t.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Radio legislation went by the board
in the closing session of Congress yes
terday when a last minute attempt to
provide q stopgap measure until the
next session of Congress failed.
The resolution was drawn up and
approved by both Senate and House,
but the time was insufficient for Vice
President Dawes to sign the engrossed
copy BEFORE adjournment, as required
by law.
This leaves radio regulation in the
hands of the Department of Com.
merce, as it has been in the past
but with the authority of that Gov.
eminent agency in the field already
challenged successfully in a suit at
Chicago.
What the next move will be is
problematical, although Secretary
Hoover had pleaded for legislation to
give teeth to the radio regulations to
prevent chaos in the broadcast1ng
field.
The resolution which failed yester-
day was drawn up by Senator Dill
Democrat, Washington, and Repre-
sentative White, Republican. Maine
as the result of a hopeless disagree
ment between conferees on the Whlte
and Dill bills passed by the House
and Senate. 1t would have provided
that no broadcasting station might
be granted a permit for longer periods
than 80 days. except in cases of com
mercial stations. which would have
been permitted two years. 1t would
have provided also that applicants for
permits must sign waivers of any
claims against the United States tc
any wave length or to the use OF
| the ether in radio Transmission be
cause of a previous license.

Retirement Victory
Brings Avalanche
OF Phone Calls

The telephone calls received at
the office of The Star yesterday
afternoon were testimonials in
themselves of the interest and
the gratitude among retired en-
ployes of the Government serv-
ice here over the passage of the
liberalized retirement measure in
the closing hours of Congress.
All afternoon and late into the
evening the questions came over
the Wire-"Is it so the retirement
bill passed? And did the Presi-
dent really sign it,"
One interesting feature of the
questions was that while every
man or woman who called. some
of them with voices weak and
trembling, indicative of age. asked
whether the retirement bill had
passed. none asked which one.
Their attitude supported those
who have been working for re-
tirement legislation and who de-
cided that any liberalization was
better than none.
