RADIO RELIEF CRY
GROWS STRONGER
ConuresS ASsailed for Delay
in Passing Measure
for Control.

Increasing inpatience for radio
legislation is reflected in the halls of
Congress, and it is salutary omen.
Both in the Senate and House in
quiries have been made, doubtless
impelled by a deluge of petition and
appeal descending upon members, as
to the progress of the conference COM
mittee on radio.
The situation is summed up in the
reply of Senator Dill. Democrat, Wash
ington. member of the conference com
mittee, to Senator Bingham, Connec-
ticut. on the floor of the Senate.
1.-THE conferees have held many
meetings" said Senator Dill, land at
every meeting have made progress.
We have reached a tentative agree
ment on the chief principle involved
control. In the light of its tenta-
tive nature, I do not believe it wise
to go into detail at this time. / can
say, however, that a compromise be-
tween the conflicting House and Sen
ate bills is being written; that we are
In sight of the end, and that the Sen
ate may expect a report within rea-
sonably short time"
tons of members of the conference
committee that they are near agree
ment-in fact, the two who were
delegated to write a, new bill are sup
posed to present it to the committee
this week-a new radio control bill
has been introduced into The House
by Representative Underh. ii, Massa-
chusetts. Moreover. speeches urging
quick action on radio have been made
in ~he House by Representatives
Cro~%her, New York, and Treadway,
Massachusetts,.
7TN Underhill bill would vest the
Secretary of Commerce with full au-
thorfty to issue and revoke broadcast
licenses, assign wave bands, deter
mine power, set time of operation and
make regulations to prevent inter-
ference between stations. Mr.. Under
hill explained that this was to
simplify the question of control. He
said all other bills are far too COM
plicated.
Mr.. Crowther declared against what
he called foolish delay The regula-
ton of broadcasting is a simple mat
ter, he said, and the pleasure and
comfort of many people are at stake.
Mr.. Treadway's speech was an ex-
preston of impotence with the COM
mittee, and he demanded action on
one form of control or another. His
remarks were peculiarly pertinent in
that they expressed the sentiment of
perhaps the larger share of the radio
public, particularly the rural folk,
who are more interested that there be
control than that there be any certain
form of control.
