 The service was held on the deck with the members of the crew stand ing at attention on either side. It was very effective and with the casting of beautiful flowers upon the waters by the women folk pent up feelings broke bounds and tears flowed freely.

SAYS RADIO FANS
CAN SOLVE ISSUES
Baker Declares Programs
Are Subject to Desires of
Listeners Who Write.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 29.-The ills
of radio. on which the new Federal
Radio Commission begins holding pup
lie hearings in Washington TO-DAY
could be cured in short order by the
radio public itself, and would nave
been before now but for general
misapprehension among listeners as
to where the responsibility lies. l.. 5.
Baker. executive secretary of the Ma
tional Association of BroadcaSterS,
told the Associated Press today.
THE radio listeners are the real
radio commission" he said. They We
got the power that can't be ignored
They've got THE gun to shoot trouble
with. but they don't pick the right
: target Once they get Strengthened
out there won't be any radio troubles
except technical matters that the COM
mission can regulate without any
difficulty"
Baker, whose organization is CO.
operative association of more than 200
of the older established broadcasters,
said that only IL per cent or the
broadcasting stations in the country
have any connection whatever with
the manufacturing end of the busl-
ness.
Except for these few instances"
lie Sdlu. lFle uldCl ct nave iiO
more control over the broadcast pro-
grams that come in on the sets they
make than a hardware man has over
the mive that may or may not enter
the mouse traps he sells.
THE listeners can't seem to get
over the idea that when they buy a
vet they are buying programs. When
hey don't like the programs they get
hey complain to the manufacturer,
who has no possible remedy. They
should go direct to the source of their
grievance, the broadcasting station in
question"
Baker pointed out that no broad
casting station can exist unless it Is
being tuned in on by large numbers
and that it will very quickly remedy
any error it is committing if the
listeners notify it of it's offense. The
complaint and applause mail is the
only guide a station has in it's at
tempt to please, he said, and If listen
ers would write their reactions, both
favorable and unfavorable, to the
stations they listen on, evil practises,
which are often unintentional, would
soon cease to exist
