David Sornoff, vice president and
general manager of the radio, cor
porat1on of America, urges need of
a nationwide system of radio broad
casting, with facilities powerful
enough to span the oceans when de-
sired. The exchange of information
al programs by radio, upon an or
ganized basis, must wait largely up
on the creation of a broadcasting
system in the United States which
can make the voice heard regularly
across the Atlantic
The greatest problems presented
by broadcasting, he declares, are be-
yond the mandate of legislative ac-
ton. I'VE cannot eliminate static
