VENTURA. Calf, Nov. 28.-
That the radio public is denied
what it wants under a system
wholly supported by advertising
is strikingly brought out in a
study of one days output of 206
commercial stations, including
program contents and sales talk
Interruptions, which, under the
title American Broadcasting"
was released today by The Ven
tara Free Press.
While various surveys have
shown that adult listeners prefer
I'D news and information; (2)
classical music; (3) popular music
and jazz; and a. dramatic pre-
sensations, in the order named, it
appears that through dictation of
the advertiser their third choice
actually fills two thirds of all
program time. 1t is estimated
ehA1 POWCAs HCW tuUSSs repairs
and requirements cost the 49,
O00, 900 receiving-set owners more
than $500, 900, 600 a year. On
the other hand, the maximum an
nual expenditure Of the broad
casting stations and networks. in
Guiding the operation of enor-
niously expensive advertising sales
departments, does not exceed
$50, 100000. Since $50. 900, 600
amply covers the total outlay for
production and transmission, the
listeners spend six times that
amount on reception and receive
what the advertiser thinks will
sell his goods.
The present survey, the first
authentic and fairly comprehen-
sive picture of American broad
casting and its typical pattern,
shows what the owners of receiv-
ing-sets get for their money. 1t
was made with the cooperation of
270 daily newspapers by the Ven
tura Free Press.

NRA PROVES PULLING PROBLEM
FOR REPUBLICAN PARTY LEADERS
By BYRON PRICE

By BYRON PRICE
(Chief Of Bureau, The Associates
Press, Washington1
THE biggest question nov
agitating republican party
leaders is whether definitely
to cross the Rubicon and
speak out plainly against the
NRA.
Some party chieftains have
taken that step, and are breaking
their long silence to say that NRA
won't work, is demonstrations
and un-Anlerican. has done much
harm, and should be abandoned.
Others are unwilling to take
the step. A letter received by
this writer from former republi-
can congressman {who hopes to
come back) showed him in favor
of keeping STILL"
Then, he said, 'if NRA
fails we cannot be blamed,
and the entire responsibility
rests with the democrats.
The republican national COM
mittee. in its broadside against
Mr.. Roosevelt, makes no frontal
attack on NRA but does refer to
"a desperate administration ef-
fort to prevent collapse of the
NRA program"
The party's national managers
may or may not make a decision
before the congressional cam
paigns open next year. There be-
ing no national convention in
1884, no national platform need
be adopted, and each individual
candidate may be left to choose
his own course.

SCOUT NOTES

I A local Boy Scout court of hon.
or was organized in Key West last
evening, at the home of Scoutmas-
ter ]. A. Boza, on Olivia street.
. The purpose of this court of
honor is to examine scouts who
may be qualified for merit badges
and make the awards from time to
time. The formation of this new
organization in Key West win en-
able Boy Scouts to take advant-
age of the merit award system af-
forded by the movement. There
are approximately one hundred
such badges available to first
class scouts. Each badge covers
an elementary knowledge of some
trane or profession which the boy
must master before he is eligible
for the award. This system gives
the boy a general idea of the va
rious trades and professions and
helps him find the vocation for
which he is better suited or which
appeals to him the most. Com
petent instructors will supervise
this phase of scouting and the
court of honor viii examine the
applicants.
Members of the court are: Ralph
johnson. chairman; M. E. Berko-
WITT. secretary; George F. Arch
er, Jerry j. Trevor and w. r.
Archer.

Uses Feeble Excuses
To Avoid Delegation

ers under order of deportation for
working class activities, and of wives
and children of workers whose homes
have been smashed by the deporta-
ton terror.
While this answer was written, news
dispatches told of lengthy conferences
between Miss Perkins and the indus
trialists and labor takers, in WASH
ington.
The answer tried to dodge the is
sue also by requesting that ANY
matters you may desire to present to
her" be submitted in writing. Pre-
viously, Miss Perkins had tried to
dodge the delegation by announcing
she would be out of town on Sept
l. when the delegates said they would
call on her.
In answer to her latest move, the
Committee for the Protection of the
Foreign-Born put the matter squarely
up to Perkins by demanding that she
herself set the earliest possible date
after Sept. for a meeting with the
delegation.
At the same time, the Committee
called on all workers and organiza-
lions opposed to the deportation ter
ror, to back this demand with pro-
tests to Miss Perkins, demanding that
she meet the workers delegation.
