BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Charles
Burke, business manager of radio sta
ton WFRL, Brooklyn, today an
nounced invitations had been sent 90
broadcasters in the metropolitan area
to attend a meeting tomorrow in an
effort to obtain postponement of the
Federal Radio Commissions ruling
that new wave length and 60-day H.
Censes will be effective June /.
Many of the broadca sterS assigned
to lower wave lengths, Mr.. Burke said,
feel the radio act of 1927 is unconsti-
tutional. The new ALLEGATION of wave
lengths, he declared, amounts to
practical conf1scation of property"
Stations occupying the lower wave
band, he said, will in time have to
abandon broadcasting because of the
ineffectiveness of the lower waves.
"What we want to do now" he said,
sis to get a postponement of the June
] order so that our commercial con-
tracts can be arranged"

500 Trials FACE
POLICE COURT

When jury trials are resumed in
Police Court July 1, the District
branch will be too far behind to
ever catch up again under the ex-
listing system and present facilities,
Ringgold Hart, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel said today.
, More than 500 jury trials probably
will be pending by that time, Hart
said. At the end of March, when
jury trials were suspended, there
We're 433 cases pending and. they
are now accommodating at the rate
of Is to 20 a week.
Under the system which was es-
tablished in the courts just before
jury trials We're suspended. two
days a week were allotted for Dis
trict jury cases. This Is not enough
according to Hart, to keep up with
current cases, to say nothing of
clearing the docket of accumulated
old cases.
AS chairman of a special com
mittee appointed by the Commits
sioners to study Police Court con
jestion, Hart is working today en-
report which he hopes to submit
to the Commissioners tomorrow.
1t will deal with a suggested es-
tablishment of a new system by
which collateral will supplant court
fines and make it unnecessary for
Violators of minor traffic regula.
tions to go to court. The report
also will deal with several changes
in police practice recommended by
the Police Court judges.
Other members of the committee
which will meet this afternoon to
make final draft OF the report
are Major Edwin B. Hesse and
Acting Director of Traffic NJ. o.
Eldridge.
