COOLIDGE TALKS
ON THE AIR

President Calvin Coolidge and two
helpings OF Roxy entertainment
sauce are the main detectives set be-
fore dial twisters Of the continent
in general, and OF WRC in particu-
lar. this first week day evening of
daylight saving complications. Be
cause Washington does not subscribe
to the daylight saving fad. the bust.
ness of wrestling with radio pro-
grams is a chore these Jays. And
has given birth to the idea that II
the Federal Radio Commission really
wants to save the wear and tear on
the nerves OF many radio editing, but
otherwise fairly respectable people,
it will establish q standard radio
time and have all broadcasting sta.
tions print their published programs
in that medium.
President Coolidge will address the
multitude of radio listeners, which in.
cludes Mrs. Coolidge, by the way, on
the occasion Of the banquet being
given in New York to celebrate the
twentieth anniversary of the organ
ization Of the United Press. The adj
dress will be broadcast at 8 o'clock
by 16 radio stations, including WRC.
The dinner will be attended by
notable newspaper men. publishers
statesmen, authors and such from
all over the United States ana
from Europe.
