/. RADIO AS LATEST
!. IMPORTANT ISSUE
Control of Air Ranks With
Prohibition and Other
Problems.
Times Wdshin0toB Bureau.


WASHINGTON, April 15.-Radio
has entered the political arena, to
take its place with prohibition and
other problems on which there is no
unanimity Of opinion.
The growing importance of radio
in the American social, political and
economic scheme of things was
clearly demonstrated at the radio
conference in a four-day session
here. The broadcasting, selfishness
of various interests appearing be-
fore the conference and the determi-
nation of various elements in the in
dustry to get what they want re-
CARELESS of others, indicated what
may be expected in the future.
If the conference is to be regarded
as a criterion, radio still is in its in
fancy, but there were signs that
thousands of far-sighted grown-ups
regard it as a healthy youngster
with great promise for the future.
Monopoly Loomed
There were many indications of in
tent of large broadcasters and
smaller ones, too, to acquire monop-
oily in the air for their own benefit.
The theory of Congress that the "air
Is free" was accepted by interests
represented at the conference as
applying only to themselves.
Congress passed law regulating
radio two weeks before adjournment.
With the exception of some debate
I'm the Senate, the law produced no
serious discussion. Some Senators
feared eventual monopoly in the air
and sought to halt it, but they could
not prevent passage of the law
which created commission to re-
store order in the air.
s5 This commission finally has got
down to it's work. 1t began by call
ing for assistance from the entire
radio public, including engineers,
station owners and listeners. But
when the hearing concluded the
commission realized that it faced a
task of unexpected magnitude.
" 100 Many SCaClOnS
a There are 1888 stations now on the
air. Scientists are agreed that all
Of these stations cannot be accommo-
dated by the eighty-nine existing
wave leng his. The commission
thought it could accommodate every
body by increasing the wavebands,
by invading the channels heretofore
assigned to amateur and purely
scientific broadcasters, and also by
taking some Of the channels used for
ships at sea. But the entire confer
ence agreed this should not be done.
This, therefore, brought the issue
right back to the starting point and
the buck was passed back to the
commission.
The five commissioners, who will
receive $4,000 for their first years
steady work and $40 a day there
after, are called upon to show the
wisdom of five Solomons, but with
this difference: Solomon did not

D. c., Montgomery Fed
GRAFTON Is Told.

Reduction of the rates charged
consumers of Illuminating gas in
Montgomery County, Md, now seems
within the realm of possibility, as a
result of the action started by the
passage in the Maryland General
Assembly of resolution directing
Maryland officials to take steps to
bring il about, it was disclosed last
night at the meeting of the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation held
in the knights of Columbus Hall at
Silver Spring. Md. The report was
made bv ]. Bond Smith of Takoma
Park, chairman of the federation's s
committee on legislation and legal
action. Maryland and District Off
cials will confer next week on the
matter, it was said.
Oliver Owen Kuhn, president of the
federation, also announced the person
mel of the park and planning COM
mittee, which is to cooperate with
the new Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission In its
work of laying out broad plans for
the regional development of the area
adjacent to Washington. The COM
mittee has on it one member from
each community represented in the
fedefdtl0n.
Discusses Situation.
In presenting the gas matter to the
federation, Mr.. Smith went at some
detail into the history of the organl-
Zation of the Montgomery County
subsidiaries of the gas companies in
the District of Columbia. He said
that the Montgomery County COM
panies have no home office in the
county, and also that the Maryland
Public Service Commission was going
quite thoroughly into the whole case
so as to prevent in the future the Gre
alton in the State of any other paper
subsidiaries.
He told of his conferences with the
Maryland commission subsequent to
the passage of the resolution, and
added that the commission was SYM
pathetic. The first step 10 be taken.
he said, would be a joint conference

Opposes Appointment.
Opposition to the appointment from
the upper end of the country of an
assistant to the county commissioner
of the Bethesda district was expressed
in resolution introduced by r. c. d.
Hunt of Bethesda, and which was re-
ferred to committee.
A resolution requesting the county
government officials to take steps to
provide walkway for pedestrians
over the CabiN John Bridge was in
troduced by Ellis r. King of the
Ca bin John Park Citizens Association.
w. B. Horne of Somerset, introduced
a resolution, instructing the commit
tee on roads, streets and bridges to
request the District of Columbia Com
missioners to widen Wisconsin avenue
from Tenleytown to the Maryland-Dis-
trict of Columbia line. Mr.. Horne
pointed out that this is main high
way to the west; that Wisconsin ave-
nue. had been widened to Tenleytown
and that the Rockville pike had been
widened in accordance with this. In
the stretch of roadway sought to be
widened he said, it was now neces

Commission. He. pointed out that the
| District commission soon was to in
stitute hearings on the valuation Of
| the District companies, and 1t was the
purpose to ascertain at this confer
ence whether 1t would be possible
legally for the District commission
to value the property of the Mary
land subsidiaries at the same time.
This would be quite q simple matter.
he added, as the companies have
nothing in Maryland except pipe IN
the ground and the meters in the
houses, the latter even bearing the
seal of the District commission. He
said that it would be silly to institute
a separate valuation in Maryland just
for the pipe in the ground. With
this valuation, he said. the Maryland
commission would be able to fixe rates
bv adding o certain amount for over
head, and then the differential of %
cents a thousand cubic feet, which
the Maryland users pay over and
above the District price, would auto
matically disappear.
Subsidiaries Held Profitable.
He pointed out that without super
vision these companies can always
show an overhead and a loss to keep
the price up, adding that IL one went
to the officials and the companies and
talked to them for any time about
the situation in Maryland he would
be tempted after such conference to
go out and take up q contribution.
But, he said, the Maryland subsidia-
ries are making more money than
they should and there was no reason
why it should be.
He also told the federation that It
had the confidence of the Maryland
commission, which indicated that it
would seek from it later certain facts
to be used in the case. lie urged the
members of the federation to keep close
tab on the gas during the Summer
and to report everything done by the
company which was detrimental TO
the users, such as bad service, bac
pressure, etc. At the conclusion of
the report the federation, on motion
of S. II. Miller of Leland. gave Mr..
Smith rising vote of thanks.
Urges Militant Vigilance.
In appointing the Park and Plan
ming Commission President Kuhn laid
down for it a strong platform of mill
tart vigilance. # it found it necessary,
and wholesome cooperation, If 1t
found it possible. He said that he was
appointing a very large committee in
order that every community in the
park and planning area might be rep
resented and that it may have sub
committees to handle every phase of
it's activities. The committee, he con-
tinued, was to study the entire situa-
ton, and in any project, if 1t found
it could agree with the decision of
the Park and Planning Commission, 1t
was to cooperate in every way. He
expressed the strong hope that the
committee would be of material serv-
ice to the commission. but added that

New York, Feb. 17 P(-Enough evidence has been produced by the government In the Daugherty-Mil- Ter conspiracy trial to warrant the case going to the jury. Judge Knox ruled today.
 United States Attorney Buckner completed his case yesterday and adjournment was taken this morn- ing to consider defense motions, all of which were denied.
 Besides the general motions for dismissal of the indictment, coun- sel for Harry M. Daugherty and Thomas W.

 There will be no defense for Thomas w. Miller, former alien property custodian. it was announc- ed after the Daugherty-Miller trial re-opened this afternoon.
 When court reconvened both Aaron Sapiro, counsel for Miller and Harold Corbin of counsel for Harry M. Daugherty. waived their opening addresses.
 Facing the court, Sapiro then said: Your Honor, the government hay ing failed to prove conspiracy against the defendant Miller. his de- fense rests"
