AIR ALLOTMENT
DEMANDED BY
EDUCATORS
Nationwide Campaign to Gain
IS Per Cent of Broadcast
for Governments, Education

Education today is demanding
its place in the air with the re.
suit that a nationwide campaign
is under way for passage of a
bill setting aside IS per cent of
radio broadcasting facilities for
the Federal and State Govern.
ments and educational institu
tions.
The drive is being fostered by
the national committee for educa-
tion by radio, an endowed or.
ganization, which expects to
align powerful forces behind its
proposal before the next session
Of Congress.
Educators Complain
A bill has been drawn by
Sen. Fess (R0 of Ohio, carrying
out the demand of educators, who
claim they are being crowded off
the air by commercialized broad
casting.
The educators committee points
out that the number of educa.
tional broadcasting stations has
decreased from los in 1926 to So
in 1881. The percentage of edu.
cational stations to the total de-
creased from 1875 to 9.4 per cent
in that time. The number of
hours occupied by the educational
stations on the air is but 2.95 per
cent of the total.
Trade Gets Lions Share
With commercial stations fight
ing for clear channels and higher
power to increase their adver-
tising business, the educational
stations are being crowded off the
air, the educators claim.
Having failed to achieve their
purposes through the Federal
Radio Commission, the educators
now will resort to Congress. They
say:
"A commercial monopoly of
brOadcaSting channels is almost
an accomplished fact, and it
threatens freedom of speech,
intellectual liberty and the
right of the individual States
to exercise their educational
functions.
stations under the control
Of the officials of public educa-
tiOn and operated in the pub
Lie welfare are attacked so
often by commercial stations,
whose main objective is, and
must me, to produce profits
for their owners, that they are
rapidly being driven from the
air."
The committee claims to have
the backing of the National AS
sociation of State University
Presidents, National Catholic Edu-
cation Association. American
Council of Education, National
Education Association and other
powers in the education field.

The opinion is expressed. that when
Congress assemblies beyond a doubt
Democratic attacks on the Admin
stration, both because it did not act
sooner and because it acted at all, will
materialize.
From other quarters the cry is
heard that nothing could be accom-

nary session politically-minded Con-
gress. However, it is generally agreed
that if the members of the special
Congress were able to formulate a
program that struck the country's
fancy and appealed to reason, there is
no ground to doubt that the President
would quickly comply by converting
Congress on an hours notice.
A tremendous amount of data on oil
is now being compiled by the Tariff
Commission to be used by Congress
in the battle between western oil-pro-

and the Atlantic Seaboard. During
