RADIO BILL VOTE
IS Due THIS WEEK
Watson-White Measure Is
Not Expected to Face
Serious Opposition.

Having successfully weathered the
first leg of Its legislative voyage, the
Watson-Wh bill, which would pro-
long the administrative life of the Fed
eral Radio Commission another year
stands on the threshold of both the
House and Senate chambers.
1t took exactly one month for the
bill to pass through the two committees.
Not a single dissenting vote was cast
This Is in spite 81 known opposition to
the commission by few members on
both the House and Senate committees.
It tends to bear out the report that
PreSident-elect Hoover has transmitted
to Congress word that he favors the BILL
1t is expected that both houses will
begin consideration of the bill this
week. Chairman White of the House
committee will ask for special rule
undt-: which the measure may be con-
sidered by the House. Senator Watson,
merce Committee, will report the bill
to the Senate as soon as possible and
will seek immediate consideration.
Administration leaders on both sides
Of the Capitol are behind the measure
In the House there likely will be short
debate and negligible opposition. But
it may be different in the Senate. AL
though Chairman Watson expects some
opposition, he says the bill should go
through, with little time to spare, be-
fore Congress adjourns, March 4. Pres
ident Coolidge already has indicated he
favorS the extension of the commits
sion's administrative authority for an
other year rather than let it 60 to the
Commerce Department, with the COM

Tor radio controversies.
Thus far no word has emanated from
the White House as to the Presidents
selections to fill the two existing va
cancies on the commission created by
the designations of Commissioners Cald-
will and Pickard. The names of three
engineers stand in the forefront of
those known to be under consideration.
They are Arthur Batcheller, radio SUI
pervisor Of New York. and Lieut. Comdr
Tunic A. M. Craven, Navy, technical
advisor to the commission on short
waves, to succeed Commissioner Cald-
well as representative of the first, or

to succeed Commissioner Pickard
Comdr. Craven is a resident Of Bound

at the University of Minnesota and now

The Senate committee held hearings
on the radio bill for five days. The
