RADIO RELIEF ACTS
BEFORE CONGRESS
Commerce Officials Await
Necessary Laws for
Clearing Chaos.

Anticipating radio legislation to iron
out a congested broadcasting SITUATION
which has seen a 20 per cent increase
In the number of stations "on the ar
and brought numerous complaints
from listeners Of inability to separate
stations and eliminate station inter
ference, the Commerce Department
has prepared plans for bringing the
present chaos" of the air back 10
the approximate situation which pre-
vailed before a Chicago judge ruled
last Spring that the department had
no authority over the ether channels.
That the task will be real 1oo
and may take considerable time Is the
prediction of w. u. Terrell, CHIEF or
the radio division Of the department,
to whom the job will fall II legislation
placing control of the air under the
Commerce Department is passed.
More than lao new stations have en-
tered the broadcasting field since July
/, according to Mr.. Terrell. bringing
the total number of stations up TO
nearly $50. The greatest number OF
new stations have been set up in areas
which were already we'll supplied with
broadcasters, notably around Chicago
and New York. Up to last Tuesday. III
new stations had been added to the
air tangle around Chicago, while more
than a score of new brOadcasters had
taken over air channels around New
York.
Chicago had more than score OF
big broadcasting stations before July
1, while New York was on the air with
nearly that number. At the time OF
the Chicago court ruling and the
opinion of the Attorney General hold
ing that the Commerce Department
has no authority over unlimited use
of the air there were more than 500
stations using the air channels, with
some dividing their time and others
having full-time wave bands.
Secretary Hoover does not care to
comment on the radio situation pend
ing disposition by Congress of the
radio legislation which is now before
the law-making body, he said today.
But in the meantime plans have gone
quietly ahead for bringing order out of
the ether chaos the Commerce Secre-
tary predicted more than six months
ago. The job will be a big one, since
the question Of public service and
public interest enters into the entire
situation in general and in detail.
The department has before 1t an
application from the Columbia Uni
versity School, 1924 Eighth street, for
a station to be called WCUS and to
60 on the air to broadcast general
programs and matters of interest to
students.

Indemnity co. HELD
FOR BOND OF $4,000
Court Orders Collection in Case of
Liquor-Laden Schooner That
Violated Law.
BY the Associated Press.


NORFOLK, Va, December 24.-Fed-
eral Judge D. Lawrence Groner yes
terday decided that the Government
was entitled to recover from the
Eagle Indemnity Co., bond of $780,
900 given as surety that the schooner
G. II. Murray, which put in here in
distress in 1924, would not land in
the United States a cargo of liquor
which she had aboard at the time.
The vessels name is said to have
been changed to the Arsene J., which
recently attracted nationwide atten-
ton by escaping from the Coast
Guard in the Gulf of Mexico with
two prohibition agents aboard, land
ing them 10 days later in Mexico.
When the G. H. Murray came into
Norfolk in 1924. her manifest show
ed she had aboard a cargo of liquor
for st. Pierre. Miquelin, a French
port. She was permitted to remain
here for repairs after giving a bond
Of $4,000, furnished by the Eagle In
demnity Co., as guarantee that none
of the liquor would be landed in the
United States. having agreed, accord
ing to Government attorneys, to file a
certificate within six months showing
that the cargo had been delivered at
a foreign port. The Government con-
tended that no such certificate had
ever been produced, but admitted
that 1t had no evidence to show that
the liquor had been landed at any
specific place in the United States.
