those applicants 600 Of them, waiting for chance
to horn in. Watch all those ogres raise their power
to devour the little stations.
All of them unleashed. All Of them wild for the

But it's not as bad as it looks.
There's law still in effect, the old law Of 1912.
BY that Mr.. Hoover still has the power to issue IL
censcs for broadcastng, although he can't very we'll
refuse them. But only those of the 600 applicants
with equipment ready get them.
AS for the $40 now broadcastng, from pigmies to
ogres. most have gentlemen's agreement to "be
gocd," to stick to their wavelengths and give
the fan what he wants to hear.
lit all bells down to the fan and his desires. It's
he who makes station, and if he doesn't the sta
