caldwell and Pickard have acted
unfairly and unjustly," May de-
clared. "They are Low threatening
to drive out 800 independent broad
casters February and leave the
air in the hands of the monopoly"
The New Jersey broadcaster took
the stand after Pickard had been
questioned for more than half an
hour. The Kansas commissioner,
who is under attack on the ground
that he is neither a Democrat nor a
resident of the state from which he
was appointed, detailed at length the
difficulties under which he said the
commission had operated in UNDER
taking to solve the broadcasting
problem. i.
1--WE have to fight the listeners
battle for thcm." Pickard declared
under questioning by Senator Dill,
Democrat, Washington, co-author Of
the radio act. "Thcy have equip
ment that cost 20 to 80 times as
much as that Of the broadcasters."
''As / understand it, them" inter-
posed Senator Wheeler, Democrat,
Montana, "thc commission has not
paid any attention as to whether
there is monopoly
1--WE have considered that there is
no monopoly" Pickard replied.
Senator Dill insisted the situation
was such that the commission
should take some action with rela-
ton to the broadcasting of chain
programs, explaining that unless a
listener had an expensive set he
could get nothing else except such
programs.
II believe the radio engineers
will solve that end other of the diff
ficult problems for US" Pickard re-
piled.

they would not entirely cut off the

fit for irrigation in the arid west
1t also would improve navigation or

He declared that the commission
however, regarded that irrigation
benefit to the west was mot prop

Representative Sears said "that
the washing away of dirt from the
western farmers was just as mucI,
of a national calamity as the
