NEWSPAPERS
NOT RIVALED

CHICAGO, March 28.-Radio
broadcasting can never Supplant

vertising medium or in the dis
semination of news, according to
Lieut.. Allan C. Forbes, radio con-
Sultant of the American Research
Foundation, who recently con-
Quoted survey of the radio and
newspaper field. Lieutenant
Forbes said:
more than 5000 owners Of
radio receiving sets were ques-
toned as to their newspaper
reading habits before and after
purchasing a radio.
"Out of the 1929 replies re-
ceived, only 1877 men and wom-
en- reported a decreasing interest
in their daily newspaper as re-
suit of radio programs being re-
ceived in their homes. OF these,
10 explained that they never
read more than the headlines
of newspapers at any time and
asserted that news bulletins
broadcast over the radio served
them adequately.
"The overwhelming majority
of our replies indicated the
opinion that the radio is in no
sense a competitor of the news
paper. 1t offers pleasing enter
tainment, and radio advertising
serves its purpose in the build
ing of good will, but it leaves
nothing permanent in the way of
impressions.
The newspaper on the other
hand, presents the news in de-
tail, where it can be studied by
those sufficiently interested and
by perturbation and Topographic
cal display presents the adver-
tiSerS' message in a way that
makes it stick in the mind of
the reader"
