LAFOUNT PROPOSES
BOARDS FOR RADIO
Commissioner Favors Ad-
visory Groups to Suggest
Programs for All Stations.

Within few days Commissioners Har-
old A. Lafount will present to the Fed
eral Radio Commission plan. which
If enacted will revolutionize the pres
ent system of program selection OF radio
stations and affect every one OF the hoo
stations In the broadcast spectrum
The commissions plan is that every
station. irrespective of size power or
wealth, be required to have an ADVISORY
board of 10 of the outstanding clti2enS
in its community. acting without COM
pensation, to suggest programs that
would be in the public interest to the
particular community involved. The
boards would have no control over
sponsored programs.
Commissioner Lafount believes that
such an arrangement would make pos
sible absolute compliance with the pro-
visions of the radio law specifying that
stations operate in the public interest.
convenience and necessity" He is con-
WINGED that 1t would be of particular
benefit to the stations in small COM
munitieS that cannot afford program
directors who select talent. material
and otherwise arrange programs OF
merit. Nevertheless, under his plan
every station in the country would be
subjected to this requirement at the
risk of forfeiture of license for failure
to comply.
Personnel for Boards.
The boards would be made up of 10
public-spirited citizens who rank high
In their respective communities. They
would be as representative of the par
ticular community as Is possible, In
small towns the mayor would serve as
member and in cities which have more
than one station separate boards would
be required for each station.
It is the purpose of Mr.. Lafount to
have his plan adopted by the commits
sion and made effective as stations
apply for renewals of their broadcasting
licenses. Immediately the stations
would be apprised of the new require

ment and would have TO comply within
a reasonable length of time. Inasfnuch
as the commission now is engaged in
the drafting of plan for reallocation
of broadcasting stations under the
amended radio act calling for equal dis
tribution of facilities among the five
radio zones, 1t Is not improbable. should
the commission approve the Lafount
plan. that 1t would become effective
coincident with the PRONUNCIATION of the
reallocation plan.
nepiores Filling In Hours.
Commissioner Lafount always has de-
pored the procedure of many broadcast
ers in filling in hours of broadcastlne
time with odds and ends. merely be-
cause that time did not happen to be
sold to advertisers. Favoring what ne
ctaracterizes as really useful enter
tainment that is educational and cul-
t,lral," he first proposed the creation OF
a voluntary board associated with the
Radio Commission itself to suggest dl-
vers1fied programs for unpaid hours,
He has developed that idea INTO inc
plan for an advisory board Tor each
station. 49,,

Gives Total On Domestic
Purchases Abroad.

WASHINGTON, Jan. N0--All
peace time records for foreign in.
.vestnents by, American capitalists
were broken during 1927.
The commerce department today
figured that American purchases OF
foreign securities during tile year
reached the total OF $1,574,96O, ,575,
or nearly per cent above the previ-
Gus record of $l,318.55A,85O in 1926.
Much ,of the 1927 gain in foreign
investments was, due to the. rush
of foreign borrowers during the last
quarter OF the year to obtain Amer
lean funds The total value OF for
eign securities sold ain the October
December quarter in the United
States was S528, 500, which COM
pared with $428, lOl 700 taken during
the same period s3last year.
In addition to the total announced
today Tor 1927 foreign investments,
the department estimated that con
siderable amounts had gone abroad
in various investments not publicly
noted. The entire record of capital
exports for the year was declared
to be an evidence fof the growth
