SENATE COMMITTEE TO REVIEW
 ALL ANGLES OF RADIO PROBLEMS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Eyery phase Of radio operation and regu- lation is to be investigated by the Senate committee on interstate commerce, which has resumed hear ings on the Couzens bill for creation of a commission on communications
 Radio telegraph problems, pro- gram broadcasting, manufacturing the relationship of wireless to wire communications and the general question of monopoly are included in an outline of the subjects pre- pared for the committee by William c. Green, it's special counsel.
 One of the principal questions to be determined is whether program broadcasting stations should be classed as common carriers and re- quired to serve the public on de- mand in the same manner as point to point communications systems Tn that connection it will be de- cided whether chain systems be compelled to furnish service upon demand.
 The committee will tackle three problems which have been the sub- ject of considerable controversy. Il will decide whether congress shal regulate cleared channels, shall fix the limits of power of broadcastine stations and restrict the operation of chain stations.
 The advisability Of continuing modifying or abolishing the zone system of radio administration vii be considered. President Hoover message to congress advocated dis continuing the selection of commis- sioners from specified zones. Other questions of particular concern tt broadcasters are the requiring o1 license fees for stations and tho granting of larger powers of cen. ! sorship to the commission.

The dial and hinges of the safe doc! were torn off and the door some what battered up, but the thief failed to open the safe.
