CONGRESS IGNORES
BROADCAST|NG ILLS
Bill Passed Contains No Pro-
vision for Correcting
Radio Muddles.

The bill passed by Congress continue
tains none of the many legislative rene
dies suggested for alienation of broad
casting Ills.
The proposal of Senator Dill of Wash
ington and Representative Davis of
Tennessee that station power be limited
to 10000 watts the amendment of Rep
resentative Crowther OF New York pro-
viding for an increase in cleared chan
nelS from 40 to so and the requests of
broadcasterS that the law be made
more clear on the status of licenses, fell
by the wayside.
The recommendations of counsel for
the commission that apparent conflicts
in the law be removed and hearings ex-
pedited, also were ignored.
While the measure provides that the
terms OF members Of the commission
expire on February %. 1890, the life of
the commission as an administrative
body is extended only to December 81,
1929 After that date the commission
will become board of appeals. the is
Suance of licenses and the assignment
of wavelengths to be taken over by the
Department of Commerce unless new
legislation is enacted.
In limiting the life of the commission
to less than one year. radio leaders in
Congress indicated that they regarded
the action as only makeshift solution
CT the problem. pending final determi-
nation Of the method of handling the
entire field of radio supervision
The question is expected to be a
major issue at the first regular session
of the new Congress next December
BY that time the wishes of President
Hoover, who has expert understanding
of radio problems, will have been made
known to legislative leaders.
In the meantime. there will be oppor-
tunity to study the development and
regulation of such new branches of the
art at continental radio telegraph net
works, picture transmission and the
use of radio by commercial aircraft.
In the program broadcast field. the
commission plans to maintain the pres
ent plan OF ALLEGATION. Minor changes
will be made to improve service to list

broadcast structure like that of last

Former President Coolidge

virtually every member OF his

The men. and women, too, who

Our plea to the Federal Radio
Commission last week to eliminate
the new source of interference

to have produced some results as

The interference stopped last
Monday and the air remained I'M
disturbed except for the GUS
tomary heterodyne squeals and
"blooper" squawks, until Friday
night, when 1t returned for brief
period.
w. K. Scott, 1907 Fifteenth
street, expressed the opinion that
the buzzing interference was
caused by defective detector tube
of the 227 or 237 type, pointing to
his own experience as an illustra-

somewhat akin to the buzzing of
a large humble bee emitted from
his loud speaker until he replaced
the detector tube.
