VIOLATION OF RADIO
LAW TO BE PENALIZED
Federal Commission Official An,
nounces Fine and Imprisonment
for All Disobedient Broadcasters.

Penalties which may be incurred by
radio broadcasting stations for viola
tions of the 1927 radio act were ex-
planned by L. 0. Sykes, vice chairman
of the Federal Radio Commission, In
q statement Saturday night.
A maximum punishment of $4,000 or
imprisonment for a term of five years
for violation of the law. and maxi
mum punishment of fine of $500 for
each violation of any rule made by
the licensing authority under the act
is provided in the law, Judge Sykes
said.
The clause, which provides a period
of go days after the approval of tile
act during which stations holding
licenses or extensions of licenses un-
der the old law are relieved from TIE
penalties provided for operating with
out q license, does not apply to sta
tions which were not licensed under
the 1912 act. All stations are author
lied to broadcast until April "a, but
no new stations may so on the air be.
fore that date or before licenses fer
them are issued.
Trial for a violation of the radio
law, or of any section of it, must be
had in the district in which 1t is com
mitted. If the ofTense is committed on
the high seas trial shall be held in the
district where the offender may be
found or into which he shall first be
brought.

ADAPTED to receive these short waves.
"When you have done that you
have placed in the hands of the
people at large the means for receiv-
ing distant and unfavorable propa-
ganda. This outstanding danger
must be considered and it would seem
to me that it would be harmful to take
steps which would equip the people
with a means for picking up propa-
ganda of this character. If there
should happen to be a war in the
future in which we were interested,
this means of communication would
be used to distribute false stories or
success and failure in the field and
much harm can follow any practice
which puts broadcasting in the band
of greatest efficiency in the way OF
distance"
Written in the careful characters
of a hand more used to handling the
tiller of a fishing schooner than one
accustomed to letter writing, George
u, Morey, secretary of the Master
Mariners Association of Gloucester,
tells the commission that the broad
casting of the station operated by
the Matheson Radio Co. Of that city
is extremely valuable to the men who
stake their lives at sea with a t1sh
harvest as their goal. Describing
a resolution passed by the associa-
ton, Mr. Morey says this station Is
practically a necessity to the fishing
industry of this city.
.It is now sending every morning
news about the market for fish prices
and any information that might help
the vessels at sea. The masters are
able to judge better than formerly
about running the market at once, or
fishing a little longer before coming
in. 1t will also be helpful when mack
erel show by broadcasting the loca-
ton to all the seiners."
Not all the letters received by the
commission will find the waste bas-
ket, nor will possibly the three men
