at a salary Of $40, 900 per year and three
assistants at salaries OF $500 each.
It also would be enabled to appoint
such other legal assistants as 1t may
from time to time find necessary. with
Congress appropriating the salaries.
This added section Is traceable to COM
plants by the commission that 1t Is I'M
peded by lack of SUFFICIENT appropria-
tions to maintain an adequate legal de-
partment.
Chairman White says he already has
scheduled hearings on the measure be-
fore his merchant marine committee, to
begin January 8. Members Of the
commission and others who may ask to
appear will be heard, but, he says, 1t is
not intended to go beyond the scope OF
the bill itself and into the complex
problem of radio and communications
administration. Senator Watson says
he does not contemplate hearings be-
fore the interstate commerce commit
tee.
The Seventy-irst Congress will tackle
the permanent radio legislation. II the
present attitude of radio leaders can be
accepted it will be toward the estab-
lishment of a quasi-judicial commission,
like the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, to handle all communication, both
wired and wireless. and to govern ad-
vertising rates, policy, and, in tact,
every aspect of communication.

NEW RADIO BOARD
MARCH 16 IS SEEN
Little Opposition to Bills Of
fered in Both Houses Is
Anticipated.

An improved, and perhaps new, FED
eral Radio Commission Will oegn
functioning March 16 for its third and
final year. This is accepted as fore
gone conclusion in view OF the intro
duction in both houses OF Congress OF
Identical measures designed TO prolong
the life of the commission another year
and to expand the commissions legal
department.
Following customary procedure, the
bills were referred to the respective
radio committees of the House and
Senate. Chairman Watson of the SEN
ate committee, and Chairman White,
presiding over the House committee.
introduced the measure. The measure
carries the favorable sentiment OF both
houses, despite the opposition that IS
always present to a commission form OF
administration.
Little Opposition Expected.
Because the extension of the COM
missions. life is only temporary ex-
pedient, however, and because there Is
not sufficient time at the short session
to go through the necessary steps Tor
enactment of new and permanent legls-
lation, little opposition Is expected TO
develop.
There is likelihood that the person.
mel of the new commission Will be
changed. The terms of the five pres
ent commissioners expire February %.
but the commission itself does not pass
out of existence as an administrative
body until March IS. There is pro-
nounced opposition to one or two OF
the commissioners on the part OF some
Senators.
Moreover. it is felt that President
elect Hoover may wish change or
two on the commission, and that al
though 1t will be up to President Cool
idge to- do the appointing he probably
will respect the President-elect's judg-
ment. The new appointments must be
made prior to February %, or little
more than week before Mr.. Hoover
takes Office
The measure is practically the same
as that passed. by Congress February
% last year. when the commission was
extended for year, with the excep-
ton of the section dealing with the
expansion of its legal department 1t
provides that the salaries of the COM
missioners shall continue ait the rate
of $4,000 per annum and that prior
to January l., 1881, the commission
shall grant no license or renewal of
license for a jbroadchsting, station for
more than three months, and no license
or renewal for any other class of station
for period to exceed one year.

thorized to appoint a general counsel

The Kiss by Mail.

The use of crosses for kisses owes its
origin to the time when few could write
and made their signatures by cross.
The latter was solemnly kissed in token
of faith, and when education rendered
an x signature unnecessary, the x was
used as a kiss symbol only.
