HOOVER MAY LET
.POSTSSTAY VACANT
Delay in Naming Successor
to Saltzman Raises Econ
omy Speculation.
BY ROBERT MACK.

HRESIDENT HOOVER'S delay In
- filling the Federal Radio Com
mission post vacated by the
resignation of Charles Nick
Saltzman more than a month
ago is giving rise to speculation whether
he intends to fill the position at all
With economy the byword in Federal
Government since the last budget-bal-
encing Congress, 1t Is even thought he
may have in mind reducing the Radio
Commission to three men. just as he
did the seven-man Shipping Board some
weeks ago.
Should he be contemplating such q
move-and 1t is by no means certain he
would do SO in this political year-it
would mean not only that the present
vacancy will remain unified. but thst
the office now held by Commissioner E.
o. Sykes Of Mississippi, whose term ex-
pires next February, also will be allowed
to lapse.
Given Broad Powers.
Though the commission. like so many
other agencies of Government, is a
creature of Congress, the recent econo-
my act gave the President broad discre-
tionary powers to allow vacancies to
lapse in order to save the salaries that
otherwise might be disbursed and turn
them into the Treasury. In fact, there
Is nothing in the law that makes 1t
mandatory for the President to fill va
cancies.
All this Of course, Is conjecture, but
the fact remains that the Shipping
Board, whose members are designated
from regions just as are the members
OF the Radio Commission, was reduced
under the economy act and now func-
tions as three e-,nan agency Even be-
fore the economy bill was passed Presi-
dent Hoover allowed a vacancy on that
board created by the death Of one Of
Its members to remain untitled In order
to save his salary.
Savings Are Effected.
Each of the radio commissioners re-
ceives salary Of $4,000 under the
radio act, but their salaries were cut
about 81 900 each in the recent economy
move. A saving of around $4,000, plus
the savings being effected by consoli-
dating the Radio Division Of the De-
partment of Commerce with the Radio
Commission and cutting more than a
score Of employees off the radio stats,
may appeal to the President.
On the other hand, 1t may strike the
fancy of Congress, which created five
radio zones and specified that COM
missioner be appointed from each, no
more than three to be chosen from the
administration party. Should Saltzman's
post be left vacant and should Sykes
post also be allowed to lapse. the COM
mission would then consist of two Re-
publicsns, Commissioners Lafount and
Brown. and one Democrat, Commis-
sioner Starbuck

LIBEL FEARS HAUNT
STATION MANAGERS
Many Refuse Political Addresses,
Even Though Paid For, to
Avoid Chance Of Suits.

Fearful lest they be held legally
accountable for what candidates for
office say in their campaign speeches
on the radio, broadcasters in various
parts Of the country are refusing 10
carry political speeches In spite Of the
fact that they are almost invariably
paid for like any other sponsored pro-
gram.
Under the Federal radio law, sta
tions are not obligated to broadcast
political addresses. However, should
they accord one candidate for once
an opportunity to broadcast, they must
provide equal opportunities for all other
candidates for the same of1ce. Tne
radio act IS specific on this point, and
1t also says that the station operator
shall have no power OF censorship
over the material broadcast"
Some of the station operators are
declining political accounts on the
theory that political palaver. especially
about petty local offices, cutters up the
air and bores the listener. But most
Of those rejecting political talks have
apprehensions based on fears growing
out Of the recent ruling OF the Ne
btaska Supreme Court holding stations
liable along with speakers for lbelous
statements published via radio.
In many local campaigns, person
alities are being banded about with
such vitriolic otltpourings OF. verbiage
that the station owners are afraid they
viii face libel suits like the one which
KFAB, Lincoln, Nebr,, lost when a
spokesman for a candidate for State
office was convicted OF hbeling rival
candidate before It's microphorie.
The Nebraska edict would seem to
conflict with the Federal law which
allows holders OF station licenses no
powers of censorship, yet 1t stands on
the statute books and the broadcasters
feel the ak may fall on any one Of
them next. Among many radio lawyers
the conviction prevails that the Ne
braska courts decision can be over
thrown upon appeal to the United
States Supreme Court. But none has
seen ft as yet to test the state law.

ECLIPSE ADDS DATA
ON BENT WAVES.
Marconi's Tests on Ultra.
Short Lengths to Be
Checked by Experts.

Coming in the wake of Guglielmo
, Marconi's startlingly successful tests in
bending" the hitherto limited ultra
short waves so as to overcome obstacles
and send them travelling over distances
OF record length, the radio observa-
tions made by American scientists dur
ing the solar eclipse several days ago
may be productive Of much more
knowledge about those capricious wave
lengths.
1t is to the ultra-sho waves, also
known as ultra-high frequencies, that
the radio world is looking for the flu
ture development of television and
possibly broadcasting, as we'll as general
radio-telegraphic and radio-telephof1ic
communications. Being almost limit
less in number, these undevelUped chan
nels of the ether may some day furnish
the much-needed space" for both Wis
ual and audible broadcasting that Is
now lacking.
Must Compare Notes.
1t remains for the scientific fraternity
to compare notes before any definite
conclusions can be abducted from their
measurements before, during and after
the eclipse Even now. several days
after the eclipse, radio observations are
still being taken. not only by the parties
based in the path of totality. but by
laboratories here in washington, which
saw an 89 per cent eclipse, and else
where
At the Bureau of Standards and the
Naval Research Laboratories inquiries
about their experiments elected the re-
sponse that it will be some time before
their determinations can be announced.
Tests were still in progress today, and
the oscillograph pictures taken of radio
transmissions during the eclipse had
not YET been developed for Study.
DR.. A. Hoyt Taylor radio director OF
the Naval Research Laboratories, did
say that his shOrt-wave observations
there generally showed that nocturnal
conditions prevailed during the period

phenomenon entirely new to his ex-
perience-a 4o-minute period preceding
the eclipse maximum during which he
heard "the most remarkably uniform
pulsating fading" at almost precise two
second intervals on 5000 kilocycles go
meters). He said he has not yet been
able to determine what this means.
From various other observers, there
were also reports of interesting phe-
nomena. perhaps the mcst significant
being the one from National Broad
