500 BROADCASTERS
TO Be ELIMINATED
Federal Commission Declares
Nearly Half Of U. S. Sta
tions Will Close.

Elimination of possibly 300 of the
present ga broadcasting stations nov
operating in the United States during
the coming year has been decided
upon in the interests OF the public. 1t
was formally announced today by the
Federal Radio Commission.
Commissioners Sam Pickard, speak.
ing for his associates on the commits.
sion. declared today that the whole.
sale reduction In the operating broad.
casting stations had been decided upon
as the only means of enabling full
public utilization of radio possibilities.
Members OF the Radio Commission,
he said. had fully realized the neces.
sity of such an action but had deemed
1t necessary to delay the application
of the Federal authority to the end
desired until the new law creating the
body had been tested and until they
had been able 10 make ful. observa-
ton of conditions in the radio field.
He added that there had been suffi-
cient court action upon the laws pro.
vision to insure the commissions au.
thority. while the continuous conses.
ton in the radio field had demon
strated the necessity of the step.
Explaining the method cf eliminat-
ing stations that the commission In
tended to adopt, Mr.. Pickard said that
all outstanding broadcasting licenses
expiring December 81 would be con-
tinued to February l. Thereafter the
commission would consider elimina-
tion recommendation from it's radio
inspectors in the field.
In determining what stations may
survive. the commission expects to
use the sta nda rds Saf nm hv the radio
law and to grant license to those en-.
terprises which 1t considers to be most
needed by public convenience. interest
and necessity. A secondary consider
alton will be the priority OF the sta
ton in its field. In this connection II
was pointed out that about ESQ new
operating stations have begun service
since 1925. while the balance were in
the field before that date. ~

GENEVA, December 1.-The rus.
sian challenge to the world to disarm
and the Soviet's willingness to have
that challenge discussed on a give.and-
take basis, today were regarded as
having enrolled Russia again in the
Family of nations.
1t is a new Russia that is sitting
as an observer in the security COM
mittee OF the Disarmament Commits
sion of the League of Nations.
Maxim Litvinoff, head of the delega-
ton, and Anatole Lunacharsky. his
chief aide, have shown a far less
antagonistic spirit than the Russians
displayed at the financial and eco
nomic conference in Genoa i'm 1922.
and at other international meetings.
Yield Gracefully.
The Soviet leaders advocated their
project for absolute and immediate
disarmament throughout the world
with vigof. They yielded gracefully,
however. when the representatives of
the other powers insisted upon pro-
ceeding along the lines discussed at
previous sessions of the commission
The Russians were temperate in the
criticism. There was less discussion of
capitalism and capitalistic nations in
the Russian speeches than there has
been in the past.
Litvinoff and his associates have
won consideration from the other dele
gates in their effort to lessen the dan
ger of war. There is disposition
everywhere to give the Soviet leaders
full credit for their readiness to wipe
out ornaments. However. the general
impression among the other delega-
tons is that total disarmament Is, for
