From Washington comes word that a battle over radio regulations is ex- pected to develop in the next Con- gress. Decision of the American Newspae4< Publishers Association to wage a fight against alleged unfair competition by radio stations in news and advertising broadcasting is con- sidered certain as the result of the introducton of measures seeking to prohbt or restrct direct advertising over the air.
 The publishers association has in- structed it's directors to investigate the legality of direct advertising broadcasts. The publishers contend that these stations receive govern mental. aid by virtue of franchise in a wavelength which they say is tanta- mount to amonopoly. This is held by them to. be unfair competition with other advertising media not so favored.
