CHAIN PROGRAMS
RULING POSTPONED
Commission, for Third Time,
Extends Time for DupIi-
cate Offerings.
The third postponement of the chain

The third postponement of the chain
broadcasting order just voted by the
Federal Radio Commission is intended
to give that body more opportunity to
study the matter of receiving identical
chain programs at different dial settings.
The order, which would prohibit stations
on the cleared channels from offering
the same network programs unless they
are situated 800 or more miles apart, has
been deferred until June l.
Chain programs being broadcast in
New York, where most network enter
tainment originates, could not be broad
cast also in such cities as Schenectady.
Hartford, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington. under the order as origin
ally promulgated. Likewise, Chicago,
Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo could not
be all on the air simultaneously with an
Identical program, nor could the various
chain stations on cleared channels
farther west that came within a 800
mile circle.
Except for spotted portions Of the
United States, where reception on the
cleared channels Is remarkably good,
duplication is not regarded as a serious
problem, despite the fact that the chain
stations dominate the cleared channels.
no AaL do CALt NC lClkACA, Vic OkAAy SAhA =
ing instance of close duplication occurs
in the San Francisco area, where two
stations located across the bay from
each other have frequently transmitted
Identical programs to virtually the same
audience.
Arbitrary Limit Set.
The serious opposition to the orders
that has developed among the network
arrangements and stations alike has
given rise to a growing conviction that
the order will be revoked altogether
next Summer. The 300-mile limit was
arbitrarily fixed 1t has been opposed
consistently by Chairman Robinson and
Commissioners Caldwell and Lafount,
but 1t squeezed through among the COM
promises that were necessary to put
! over the broadcast reallocation of last
November.
The order is based essentially on the
theory that the consistent service range
of a high-powered station on cleared
channel Is as great IS 800 miles. This Is

the calendar, and can be called up only
by unanimous consent. Senator Wat
son, chairman of the committee which
held hearings on the bill and reported
1t unanimously, Is confident of its pas
sage and said that enough votes could
be mustered to override the opposition.
The power of even single handed fli-
buster is not being overlooked however,
for the radio bill faces the additional
problem of taking precedence over such
important measures as the Nicaraguan
Canal, marketing, apportionment, CEN
sus and railroad merger bills to become
the Senate's first order of business.
Senator Copeland's stand is much the
Caldwell of New York, who retires from
Office next Saturday and who testified
before the Senate commission that he
regarded the basic radio task as 80 to
as per cent completed and now essen
TALLY technical In character. The New
York Senator agrees that the job be-
longs to engineers and insists further
that the international problems must be
dealt with by the executive branch
rather than by commission responsible
to Congress.
Hearings on the qualifications of the
two engineers appointed to the vacant
posts on the Federal Radio Commission
have ended and considerable doubt pre-
vailed yesterday whether either or both
would be confirmed in the jam OF BUSH
ness during the closing days of the ses-
sion. The chances however, appear to
be in their favor. Little or no OPPOSE
ton has cropped up against Arthur
Batcheller, Republican, Federal radio
supervisor at New York, and the only
opposition to Prof. G. M. JanSky, jr.
seems to be based ON doubt about his
party Affiliations.
Voted for Hoover.
The University of Minnesota man
frankly told the commission that he had
voted for Wilson and Davis, the Demo-
cratic candidates for President, but that
he had voted for Hoover in the last
campaign. The vacant post demands a
Democrat under the law. Jansky told
the commission that he usually votes
split ticket without regard to party. He
said he would leave It to the commits
sion to label his political faith.
The suggestion that the confirmation
be held up until the stand of the two
engineers on important radio problems
may be observed by Congress is meet
ing with little favor. 1t Is doubtful
whether either would accept under such
a condition and without salary. Neither
could afford to do SO, and Batcheller is
known to have been averse to the APP
pointment when it was made by PreSi-
dent Coolidge last week.
The political ramifications that enter
into the radio situation are demonstrat-
ed at the hearing now being conducted
by the Federal Radio Commission on
the application of Station KVOO, Tulsa,
Okla, for the wave length now occupied
by KWKH, Shreveport, La. The Tulsa
station is owned largely by w. G.. Skel-
~, oil magnate and Republican nation

eral Senator's and Representatives from

This has led the Skelly group to an
nounce plans. to have similar support
appear from the congressional ranks,
particularly Oklahoma Republicans.
The practice of having Representatives
and Senators appear on behalf of or
against applicants for radio privileges
has been decried In and out of Congress
most recently by Senator Copeland, who
admitted that pressure from constitu-
ents had constrained him to appeal Ia
the commission himself
One OF the strongest opponents OF
this practice Is Representative Davis OF
Tennessee, one of the House radio
leaders. who has never appeared before
the commission. This Is often forward
ed as one of the strongest arguments
for making the body non-sectional and
quasi-judicial In character.
