RADIO STATION LICENSES
EXTENDED SIX MONTHS
Less Red Tape and Elimination of
Litigation Expected to Aid in
Securing Better Programs.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Less red tape so broadcasting stations
may spend less for legal service and
more for improving programs is the
Radio Commission aim in extending
from three to six months the time of
station licenses.
Commissioner La Fount said today
the short-time radio licenses entailed
costly litigation which it was hoped
would be eliminated.
Stations now spending thousands
upon thousands of dollars in litigation
before the commission and the courts
could well divert those funds to i'm
provement of programs for the benefit
Of the public" he said.
But the listener is the real sufferer,
for money the station spends to carry
its legal fight comes out Of the budget
Of the station"

and the Labor System
Act

Congress enacted the Hawes-Cooper bill which
would restrict movement Of prison-made goods in in
t~erstate commerce. It drew the fire Of the national
governors conference in session In Salt Lake City.
Many governors declared the congressional act would
play havoc with their prison labor system.
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New York advocated
a survey and conference later to devise means OF an
interchange of prison made goods among the states
for their public institutions. Al the governors de-
notnced the Hawes-Cooper act. Gov. Theodore A.
Christianson Of Minnesota attacked the measure as an
infringement on state rights by the federal govern
ment.
He said It would mean the destruction Of the great
prison binder Irvine factory at Saltwater, which has
paid for a new penitentiary and its enlargement and
has created a sinking fun Of s5.Ooo.Ooo. AL these gov

Candidates for high office in Texas who talk glibly
OF Texas prisons and prison reform, are reminded that
Minnesota set the pace at Saltwater. They are re-
minded that the convicts paid for a new penitentiary
and its enlargement. and created a sinking fund OF
