NEWS BROADCAST DAILY
Consolidated Press Sends Full Re.
port to Radio stations.

David Lawrence, who publishes the
United States Daily and betimes broad
casts on Federal Government affairs
over National BroadcaSting Co. net
work, is inaugurating a new departure
in the realm of audible Journalism /"
The full report Of the Consolidated
Press Association, of which he is presi-
dent, Is being telegraphed daily to sub
scribing radio stations to be read by
the station announcers. In some in
stances the dispatches, which include
political, economic, fashion and radio
news, are to be sponsored by local
merchants.
The service Is transmitted by tele-
graph typewriter exactly as it is fur
nished to newspapers. Stations WBZ,
Boston, and KSTP, st. Paul, have been
taking it for several weeks, and other
contracts with stations are understood
TO be ready for signature. Although
the other press associations have fur
nished bulletin matter to the networks
and stations-the Associated Press,
United Press and International News
Service each having wires into the
National Broadcasting Co. and Column
bia Broadcasting Service key studios
in New York-this is the first time that
press association has sold It's full
service to broadcasting stations.

uproot all the evils Of mispronouncia-
ton in the grown man but much cun
be done to eradicate them IN the

secure uniformity and consistency

THAT was a bold promise made by
a M. H. Aylesworth, president Of the
N. b. c., that practical radio television
equivalent in quality to sound broad
casting will be available by the time
New York's great Radio City, Is COM
pleted three years hence, or in 1884

sion was five years In the ohing.
This selfsame radio group" has
been the most urgent in insisting that
television is still in the experimental
stage" Its own engineers say that
home television must equal home
movies in quality before it can really
be regarded as practical. Demonstra-
lions both by the radio family" en-
| gineers and the independent expert
mentors have been far from this ideal

demonstrated its utility for broadcast

LOTTERY AIR TALKS
MAY BE ABOLISHED
MeNary Introduces Bill Citing
Present Discrimination Shown
Against Newspapers.

The lottery, which for three decades
has been outlawed from the printed
page in the United States as form Of
gambling. shortly may be bantshed from
the air also.
Promoters of lotteries or gift enter
prises and similar prize inducements
have found in radio new ally and
have been thriving by the use of nu-
merous small stations throughout the
country. The broadcasters, too, have
prof1ted by getting these additional
sources of revenue, while the local news
paper, under the postal laws, must de-
cline to accept advertising matter In
any way resembling q lottery.
Now a determined effort Is being made
to have enacted a provision prohibiting
lotteries of any fashion on the air. A
bill to this end has been introduced by
Senator McNary, Republican, Greg, and
already is before the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, although there Is
no chance for it to pass during the few
days remaining of the current session.
To eliminate discrimination against
newspapers and other periodicals which
may not accept such advertising under
the postal regulations, Senator McNary
stated last week that legislation along
the lines he proposes should be enacted
Newspapers, he said, are opposed TO the
general principle Of censorship, but they
feel that the same restrictions that gov
ern the printed word also should be ap-
plicable to broadcasting as the newest
mode of communication.
Senator McNary said that the Leeis-
lative Committee of the National Edi-
tor1al Association, representing some
IL 900 small newspapers throughout the
country, has recommended the passage
of such legislation, while a number of
State press associations have taken sim
liar action.
For the most part, the Senator said,
small stations In rural communities have
been conducting lotteries In behalf Of
their clients in varying forms, such as
the awarding Of prizes In contests which
involve the direct sale Of regular mer-
chandise.

RADIO HEARINGS ASKED
Senator Dill Objects to Decision on
40 short-Wave Channels.

Instead Of permitting the Federal
Radio Commission to allocate the 40
continental short-wave radio-telegraph
channels to the Radio Corporation of
America and Mackay companies, as
directed by the Court of Appeals here
as result of the bankruptcy of the
Universal Wireless Communications
Co., Senator Dill and Representative
Davis, in joint resolution introduced
In the Senate and House, demand that
public hearings be held on the alloca-
ton OF the frequencies with a view to
their assignment ito the most valuable
public uses" The recapture of the
channels from Universal Is scheduled
for March 16.
The resolution is more far-reaching,
however, than its mere if1sistence that
inquiry be made into the r. c. A. and
Mackay companies before they get the
waves. It would strip the Court Of
Appeals Of its Jurisdiction "of an adj
ministrative, legislative or advisory ma
ture." Because of the present word
ing Of the radio act, that court has
been able to function as sort Of super
Federal Radio Commission, with pow-
ers to amend or revoke both the adj
ministrative and judicial decisions Of
the commission.
