Three major legislative propositions
have been prepared by the National

are part of a series Of proposals drawn

William S. Hedges of Station WMAQ
Chicago. The National Association OF
Broadcasters recommends:
/. That permanent Federal agency
be designated by Congress TO administer
radio. because stability cannot be at
tanned while the authority of the ad-
ministering body is only temporary
If Congress Is not prepared now to
designate such a permanent body. the
association recommends continuation oil
the Federal Radio Commission for an
other year, with provision for adequate
engineering and legal assistance.
2. That the radio law be amended tt
eliminate the requirement of equal dis.
