REVISION
FIGHT IS
SEEN
By WILLIAM s. NEAL
international News Service

A widespread demand exists IN
Congress today for a sweeping re
vision Of the DillWhite law gov
erning radio broadcasting, as the
result ot hearings conducted by the
House Merchant Marine Committee,
At the same time there apparently
is great confusion in the minds of
members AS to what should be
done. with no prospect of early
drafting of a new formula for reg
ulation of Americas S giant young
industry.
Charges of the existence Of a
radio trust. demands for censor
ship of program. complaints of un-
fair ALLEGATION of wave lengths. pro-
posals to regulate charges of broad
casters and demands for curtail-
ment of the use of radio as an ad-
vertising medium all are embraced
in the confusing picture given to
the committee by members, wit
nesses and by the Federal Radio
Commission itself.
Amendments To Be Sought
Despite the announcement OF
representative White (RD of Maine.
chairman and co-author. that Con
gress cannot consider at this ses-
sion anything more than the ques-
ton of whether the Federal Radio
Commission's power shall be eX-
tended another year. a fight for
many amendments will be carried
to the floor, it was Indicated.
Chairman Ira f. Robinson. of the
commission. urging Congress to go
slow at this session, has promised
to present elaborate recomme nda-
tions for revamping the law in
another year.
Among the proposals which are
expected to be carried to the floor
are the setting up of a definite
standard for choosing between two
stations seeking licenses, limitation
of power and regulation of charges
and censorship.
Radio interests. it is understood.
will make a fight to have the
limitation of time on licenses
stricken from the Dill-White bill.

CASE UP
To COMMIT

The Senate District Committee
will take up the confirmation of
Harrison Brand, ir., for a second
term as Public Utilities Commits
sioner tomorrow.
Brands confirmation is opposed
by local labor organizations, as
well as many of the same interests
that opposed the Wilson traction
merger plan. which Brand approved.
Only a few protests to his confir-
nation have been received by the
committee. however. and unless the
charges against him are pressed
more vigorously he probably will
be confirmed.
So far the only charge against
Brand is the general one that he
has not had the interests of the
public sufficiently at heart. The
general charge is backed up by no
specifications.
Several other matters will come
up at the meeting tomorrow, in
Guiding the condemnation bill and
the airport bill. Senator Vanden-
berg, of Michigan, chairman OF the
airport subcommittee, is expected
to submit a report favoring the
Capper bill to establish the airport
at Gravelly Point.

necessity of precautions in case of
colds, of going tn bed at the first
indication of illness and remaining
there until all acute symptoms have

of lives.
SO far the epidemic is proving not
to be particularly severe so far a>
loss of life is concerned.
DIR. F. w. Draper. of the Public
Health Service, who arranged de

Approval of architects plans for

School, Warder and Otis Streets

ton adopted by the Park View Citi-

the school auditorium last night.
Adoption of the resolution was pro

declared the resolution adopted.
The proposed structure, which

The Crown Princess concluded
her letter by saying:
"You see, my life Is filled with
the duties of a mother and other
tasks approaching me from without,
so that no time is left for brOoding
or wailing over sad conditions. We

DELAY
VOTE ON !.
TREATY
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

Fearful that prolonged debate
upon the kellogg. BRAND peace
treaty may disrupt Administration
plans for avoiding a special ses-
sion this spring, Republican leaders
today called the Senate into session
an hour earlier than usual
Administration spokesmen were
hopeful of securing a final vote on
ratification of the treaty by Satur-
day but the irreconcilable group
plainly indicated they were ready
TO debate it for many days to
come unless a compromise agree
ment is reached. The irreconcil-
abIes were holding out for some
arrangement by which the United
States can inform the world OF
the terms under which it ratifieB
the treaty.
Necessity for Speed
The necessity for speed in dis.
posing of the treaty became ap-
parent when it was said that the
Coolidge Administration intends to
press for enactment of farm relief
legislation before March 4,
IL lDS lie" MSANdI -11duSSh Jill
should be enacted, it was said. there
will be no need for a special ses-
sion Of Congress until next Sep
tember and the newly installed
President can have six montfS in
which to arrange his Administra-
ton before facing Congressional
hurdles.
The treaty debate, which has
lasted A week, has blocked all &C.
ton on the Administration new
cruiser bill. The naval measure,
laid on the shelf temporarily. faces
even stiffer opposition than that
now confronting the treaty. Ad.
ministration leaders have conceded
that it will take two weeks, at
least, to enact it. Its opponents
say this is impossible and that de-
bate may last a month.
Farm Reief To Wait
In either event the farm relief
bill will be held in the background
until the Senate has acted on both
treaty and naval bill. Any otheE
procedure might easily lead to de.
feat of both measures in final
filibuster toward the close Of the
present session.
The treaty fight has resolved
itself into a question of how best
TO state the American terms of ratis
fication. without offending the
State Department. Most of the If.
reconcilable leaders have agreed
that American interests will be pro-
tected amply if the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee files a unanis
nous report, setting forth it's own
Interpretation of the treaty.
In any dispute of the future ovep
what the United States intended by
its ratification Of the treaty. both
groups believe this report could be
used to emphasize the American
purpose.
Johnson a Stumbling Block
The stumbling block has been the
attitude of Senator Johnson (R) of
California, veteran irreconcilable.
Johnson, angered because of the
state Department. objections to any
action by the Senate in respect to
the report, has declined to sign the
committees report. This would keep
the report frL.n being unanimous
and seriously undermine it's value as
an Interpretation Of the treaty.
With Secretary of State Kellogg
adamant on one side and Johnson
on the other, Administration leaders
faced pretty problem, They hoped
to get Johnson to agree to some sort
of compromise, inasmuCh as Kellogg
has refused fIatly all overtures for
peaceful settlement OF the treaty.
