WHITE RADIO BILL
EXPECTED TO PASS
Little Trouble Found With
Measure in Committee
Discussions.

The White radio bill. drafted after
more than two years of careful STUDY
OF the entire radio problem, today ap-
peared assured Of a comparatively
easy trip through Congress.
Backed by the administration
through Secretary Hoover and officials
of the Army and Navy, by the radio
industry and by the broadcasters of
the Nation, the measure was found
almost bullet proof during the brief
committee sessions, at which 1t was
discussed yesterday and today. Instead
Of the heated debate which has fea
tured the ma ority of hearings on
radio measures in the past, the White
bill to date has drawn mostly state
ments of commentator, with only a
few suggestions for slight changes in
phraseology.
The only controversial point that
was raised 1t the Wednesday session
OF the committee was one rega riding

ton of the Radio Corporation OF
America at Bound Brook, y. J. And
this, committee members pointed out.

mittee's hearings.
Protests against the use of exceed
ingly high power by that station
we're offered by several representa-
lives from New Jersey, who filed
complaints OF residents Of the area
about the Bound Brook station. In
answer to these complaints. Villa m
Brown, representing the Radio Cor
poration OF America. offered state
ment by engineers OF his compa ny
that the station as at present OPP.
Grated is entirely experimental and
that the interference OF which com
plant was made will he eliminated.
The only other interroga ton which
evoked any particular interest from
members OF the committee was one
directed at w. f. Hardness OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph

hroadca sting from the company's sta
tons.
The average charges Mr.. Hark-
