RADIO DECISION
HELD INSULT
To OCONGRESS
Protective Association Head
Says Legislators Will Probe
Decision Favoring R.C.A.

Congress aSSuredly will inquire
into decision of the Federal Radio
Commission, especially that hold
ing subsidiaries of the Radio Cor
poration of America entitled to
renewal of licenses, Oswald F..
Schuette. executive chairman Of
the Radio Protective Association,
declared today.
Schuette, following the commits
siOn's announcement that the Ma
tiOnal BrOadcasting Company,
RCA.VictOr, RCA COmmunica-
tiOnS and Radio Marine Corpora
tiOn of America were entitled to
renewal of licenses, had asserted
that the decision was an insult
to the intelligence of Congress.
Says Congress Defied
It was predicted that radio COM
missioners would be called before
committees in both houses of
Congress IN a scrutiny of their
activities. Schuette said a num-
Der of Congressman had told
him they considered the commits
sion in the RCA case had defied
the will of Congress. He said:
However, prior to any ac-
tiOn by Congress, it is hoped
that another method may be
found to prevent granting Of
licenses to the RCA group.
Not In Public Interest
"Our contention is that the
granting of the licenses to the
RCA subsidiaries is not in the
public convenience, interest,
and necessity The order just
issued does not renew licenses
but merely holds that Section
13 of the radio act does not
apply.
"TherefOre, the commission
should call hearings to deter
mine whether public interest
would be served by granting
the licenses. This is done in
the case Of small Independent
stations and so should apply in
the RCA case"
Schuette pointed out that it
might be possible Section 13
would be written so that it
could be understood by the Radio
Commission" although he said
that it's wording should be clear as
1t stands.

so long ago Tom CollinSes" and
glasses of "suds' were passed out

more than a soda fountain. how
ever misleading it's appearance.

Need for Ventilation
Opens Bladensburg
Jail Windows

The Prince Georges county
health officer ordered the Bla-
densburg Jail, with the prison
ers out. closed. The county
commissioners demurred. Then
they got what they believe is
a better idea. They opened
the jail-with the prisoners
in it.
Commissioner Ormand Phair
and Clerk James Heele recently
inspected the "black hole"
They ordered that tin strips
which had been placed on the
windows be removed. The bars
on the windows remain. And
then-to provide for ventilation
they ordered the iron door OF
the Jail be left open.

CIVIL SERVICE BODY
GETS COUNTY PLEA
President Sends Arlington
Voters Petition to Federal
Commission.
By LESTER n. INSKEEP,
star CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, May 4.-Presi-
dent Hoover mas referred to the Civil
Service Commission the petition of the
Arlington County Civic Federation
seeking executive permission for entry
into local politics of Federal employees
living in the county.
This action on the part of the Pres
ident was made known in a letter re-
ceived from the commission by Hugh j,
McGrath, chairman Of the Civil Service
Committee of the civic federation.
Hope for Early Ruling.
It is the hope of the federation and
nearly all Of the Federal employees liY-
ing in the county that some decision on
the matter will be rendered within q
short time, since the entire political
aspect of the county may be changed by
a favorable ruling.
The petition, accompanied by brief
on the case, was presented at the White
House two weeks ago by q committee
headed by McGrath. The committee
also presented a number of letters from
county officials favoring the move.
The desire OF the Federal employees to
Be permitted to take part in county
politics and to hold Office has been
brought about largely through the
change In county government that pro-
vides for commission of five members,
under whose direction the affairs of the
county win be administered by county
manager.
It is known that there are a number
Of Government employees who are de-
sirous of announcing their candidacy
for places on this commission and are
anxious to get their campaigns under
way II permitted by executive order to
hold office.
Few Announcements Made.
To date there have been but few an
nouncements Of candidates for the COM
mission, and in view of the fact that
there are several aspirantS to offices not
open to persons otherwise employed, II
is thought that the delay Is due solely
to the uncertainty as to the result OF
the petition. -.
There are q number Of potential can
didates who are not employed by the
Federal Government who are awaiting
the decision before making up theiI
minds as to their own action. In many
such cases these potential candidates
are anxious TO learn the extent Of the
activity the Federal employee voters viii
be permitted to give. Others will be
candidates o41y II Federal employees
favored for positions on the commits
sion are not permitted to enter the eara-
paign.
