EAR-CHANNEL
RADIO POWER
TILT SEEN
Federal Radio Commission
Held Likely to Allow Boost
to $4,000 Watts Limit Soon

If the Federal Radio Commits.
sion acts favorably upon applica.
tions of clear-channel broadcast.
ing stations for authority to
boost their power to $4,000 watts
1t will mean the expenditure of
more than $20,OOOOOO in the next
few years in remodcling equip
ment.
Belief was expressed in official
quarters today that eventually the
commission will yield to the de-
mands Of the brOadcasters.
Engineers hold that superpower
should be authorized so facilities
afforded by the clear channels
may be fully utilized.
To Go Even Higher
Before many years the power
will go even higher, than $4,000
watts with the progress of Scien-
fists in solving the many prob
lens involved in transmission.
High power is held the solution
of natural interference, and would
put broadcasting on almost as
satisfactory plane in summer as
in cold weather. say some authori-
ties.
The suggestion has been made
that broadcasterS be authorized
to boost their power to higher
levels in summer.
The commission is faced by the
necessity of granting power in
creaSeS to the 225 regional sta.
tiOnS, now held to a maximum Of
1000 watts, If the 55 stations on
the 40 cleared channels are per-
mitted to use $4,000 watts.
Local Stations Held Safe
Engineers say both groups Of
stations should be given higher
power. If the regional stations
were held to 1000 watts, with
the other group on $4,000, their
programs might be blanketed.
With both classes permitted to
use higher power it is said there
would be no change in the inter
ference situation. Experts say
the higher power would not have
much effect on the local stations,
most of them using 100 watts.
High power was held the only
solution Of the problem Of getting
satisfactory all-the-year-arOund re-
ception to rural and mountain
districts far from large broadcast
ing stations. ----L -

business confidence also is indicated
in numerous conferences recently
at the White House.
Governmental economy in all
branches is deemed certain to be
urged in the message. Other items
likely to be included are:
Farm relief. The predicament of
the farm board, low prices of farm
commodities, and distress generally
among the farmers will call for ac-
ton of some kind, it is believed.
Railway relief. Rail executives
have been comforting with Mr.
Hoover. and are seeking some form
of federal relief. In this they will
find a stern critic in Chairman
Couzens of the senate interstate
commerce committee.
Home building and ownership.
Congress will be asked to approve
Mr.. Hoover's plan for a system of
sectional home loan discount banks.
War debts. Approval of the one
year moratorium, already in opera
ton, Will be asked, but will meet
with considerable opposition in de
bate.
Prohibition. The President is not
expected to dwell long on this topic
If he mentions it at all.
Unemployment. This problem,
linked with many of the other pro-
posals the message will make, will,
as a matter of course, receive major
attention.

dents message" Secretary Theo-
dore JoSlin said THE President is
working on his message and it is far
from finished. do not even know

The message is to be presented to
congress Tuesday.
Mr.. Hoover has held frequent con-
terenceS with members of congress
on various finance committees. This
has lent credence to the rumor re-
garding the financial plan, although
some senators feel that further
loosening of credit is less essential
now than it was two months ago.
There is some inclination to be-
lieve that enough already has been
done. The Presidents national
credit corporation, capitalized at
$500,000,000, is functioning, and he
has asked for formation of a home
loan system of banks with federal
support, to rediScount loan mort
cages and similar paper.
Conversations among members of
congress indicate this latter prof.
ect, a pet of Mr.. Hoover'S, may
meet much opposition.

LIBERALS ASKED

JOBLESS RELIEF
Block All Legislation Until
You Succeed Advice
to ProqreSSiVes.

b. ScripDs-Hoioard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. AFTER
asking progressive members of con-
gress to block passage of all legis-
lstion until federal relief is made
available for the unemployed, MEM
bers Of the joint committee on I'M
employment prepared today to or
ganize public opinion in eighteen
states in behalf of this cause.
Members of the committee pre-
sented their plea for federal relief,
and for a permanent program of
public works, unemployment insur-
ance shorter work hours, and elm
ination of children and aged per-
sons from industry, to a small
group Of senators and representa-
tives gathered at the Capital to hear
them.
Federal Aid Urged
Howard Y. Williams, secretary of
the League for Independent Polit-
teal Action, proposed that federal
relief funds be handled by fed
eral commission with elastic pow
ers to turn money over to state and
city governments ? which would
demonstrate inability to care for
suffering within their Jurisdiction.
There can be no comeback out
of the depression unless there can
be new purchasing power in the
pockets of the workers, said Wilv
liams.
The nation is engaged in a war
against poverty and our only hope
of victory is for the government to
skim off new purchasing power
through income taxation. The
fight can be won if progressives in
congress will refuse to pass all legis-
lation until help is given"
Works Program Suggested
AT the closing sessions of the
committees two-day conference
here, the Rev. John A. Ryan, D. D.,
of the National Catholic Welfare
Council placed the responsibility
lOI pdI u DIT lCdSJ, VI tAlSJlIlB uuGII~
ployment upon the federal govern
ment because of wrong legislative
policies and failure to provide a
large program of public works in
the summer of 1880.
To fulfill its continuing response
bility, Ryan urged that the federal
government provide relief through a
five billion-dollar public works pro-
gram and also through direct APP
preparation of money to meet the
needs of those who can not be en-
ployed on public works and will not
be provided for otherwise.
Organized labors attitude during
the depression was criticised severely
by A. j. Music, director of the
League for Progressive Labor Action.
Organized labor has not done
and is not doing it's share in meet
ing and solving the unemployment
problem and other issues arising
from the present crisis" said Music.

COMMUNICATION STATUS
 IMPORTANT.

The proposed transfer o1 the Governments Sys- tenn of communications in Alaska to private owner ship and operation is a matter in which the Terri tory has very real interest and which it should be given an opportunity to be heard It should be fully informed of the details of any transaction that may be authorized by Congress and have some thing to say in fixing the provisions of the sale and requirements for operations.
 The very nature of the system makes it certain that it's acquisition by any private interest will give to that interest a monopoly on all communication privileges that will be unbreakable for yearsfor the present generation at least There is no objection to such monopoly per SC, but there and will be objection unless there is proper control of service and rates Both of these items of vital import to the north, upon them hinge to great extent all forms of business and social life. In the past the Government, through the Army Signal Corps, and to lesser degree, the Navy Bureau of Com munications has been reasonable in rates and as generous in rendering service as could have been expected There should be guarantee that these policies will not be abandoned under private control
 The theory that Government activity in business is expensive than private enterprise similarly engaged is sound. It is fundamentally unAmercan for the Government to engage in any kind of business that can be, is being, conducted by private capital. In Alaska however, the Signal Corps has not engaged in competition with any private company. It has rendered efficient service at low cost, and maintained the system econ omically Possibly private interests can do as we'll If and if Alaska is positively assured of it in advance of any change, it has logical grounds for any protest Through it's organizations official semi-officia and civic bodies, it should make that it's interests will be adequately safeguarded if and when the transfer is made.
