RADIO RENEWAL
BILL FAVORED

The Federal Radio Commission
probably will be given another year
in which to solve the problems OF
the air.
After weeks of pickering, conflict
ing House, opinions have been
harmoniZed. The radio sub-com-
mittee Of the house merchant
marine committee has agreed to
recommend passage Of a Senate bill
extending the commissions life
from March 1G, 1928, to March 16,
1929.
The decision will be submitted to
the full committee Thursday, with
approval indicated. Speedy action
will be sought by sponsors of the
measure, since the commission will
become an appeal board on March
16 unless Congress acts.
The entire membership OF the
subcommittee, embracing opposing
groups on legislation, decided that
the commission has not had a fair
chance, Representative Rowbottom
R.) of Indiana, chairman, said.
"The commission had little money
to work on because of failure OF the
| deficiency bill last session, and two
| members died and one resigned, all
within a year." said RoWbOttom.
1--WE are all dissatisfied with the
lack Of results but concluded that
| the commission ought to have an
other chance"
