The house has been asked to
spend s515,00O,00O on the Amerl-
can navy next year.
In the annual supply bill ap-
proved by the full appropriations
committee, and which will be taken
up tomorrow, a direct approPrla-
ton of s5Os,66e,OO O would be
permitted. In addition, $780,
900 would be taken from special
funds of the navy and spent. The
measure carries s4,5o0,000 more
than President Hoover's budget
asked.
The subcommittee that drafted
the measure had declined to act or
a budget recommendation for ad-
justment of wages in navy yards.
That recommendation, the sub
committee said, would have meant
a 80 per cen pay cut in some in
stances.
When the matter was presented
today to the full committee, it de-
clded to override that budget re-
commentator and restore $500
600 to the bill so navy yard work
ers would be required to take
only the same pay cut as already
is applied to other branches of the
government-about s ID per
cent.

against. another in the normal
flow of liquor trade. The case
against liquor. sponsorship is best
stated by quoting from Mr.. Paley's
pronouncement:.
'It is with extreme reluctance, 4"
Mr.. Paley said, "that we are de-
Gliding that class of merchan-
disc about to be legalized by a
popular vote, probably of three
to one, shall not be allowed to
use our facilities. because we are
exceedingly sensitive about i'm
peding any legitimate business

the best interests of the vast radio
audience are paramount and that
medium which enters the homes
Of so many millions of persons
and which carries its message to
groups of listeners of every con-
ceivable assortment is not the
proper vehicle for the promotion
of the sale of those beverages
colloqu1ally known as hard
liquors.
Our decision, on the other
hand, to permit the advertising
of wines is based on the common
knowledge that wine drinking
countries are temperate countries
and our belief that the time may
have come in America, particu-
laTly under present conditions.
when millions of our people will
welcome the opportunity to be
informed about the milder bever-
ages" In this connection it
should be pointed out that beer
advertisers almost since 80 was
legalized have been big users of
the radio, as of periodicals, and
that little or no popular outcry
has been raised against it thus
far
we hope" Mr.. Paley con-
cludes, that Columbia's decisions
will be recognized as fitting the
peculiar conditions of radio
broadcasting and that it will not
be construed as intended in any
way to reflect on the policies
which may be adopted by other
media which reach their people
in different ways"
Informal but highly placed
legal advisers have stated that,
even though radio waves may
reach from wet into dry States,
the local radio stations may carry
liquor-sponSored programs unless
Congress DEGREES otherwise by
special law or by amending the
Reed amendment to include
radio. In dry States, the broad
cast stations are amenable to
State laws and may not broadcast
any liquor advertising prohibited
by State law.

SPALDING VIOLIN RARER
THAN STRADIVARIUS

When Albert Spalding, noted Ameri-
can violinist. broadcasts weekly over
q Columbia network he plays Joseph
GuarneriuS del Jesu +violin-a rarer
instrument than a Stradivarius. 1t is
currently insured for S30,000-a frac-
ton of its worth. II is so valuable that
its master gives it the care of child.
He takes its temperature, puts it to bed,
and gives it birthday parties.
Before Spalding purchased the in
strument, about l5 years ago, he had
owned several violins. His first, given
to him for Christmas when he was 8,
cost S4 his second, present for his
9Th birthday anniversary, cost $50; his
third, purchased when he was 10, cost
$l60, and each succeeding one was Of
greater value.
Spalding bought his Guarnerius violin
from a famous French collector, Count
d'Armaille, and it previously was owned
by another Frenehman, Col. lie Maistre.
The two owned it for approximately 100
years and the instrument itself will be
200 years old in 1885. Its 200th year
will be the signal for birthday party
to be given by Spalding who "rears''
the aged violin with tender and con-
summate care. 1t is kept in a compart-

varies more than 20 degrees and Spald-
ing always tucks it under his coat when

be spent at the discretion of the
editor in aiding these artists.
"It has long been apparent to
me-" he said, that there are
great number of radio artists who,
in better days, have given consid-
cradle pleasure 10 thousands of
listeners and are now in the ex-
tremely embarrassing position of
not knowing where to look for
succor. A sort of professional
pride and dignity causes them to
hide their plight courageously be-
hind smiles and hearty hand
clasps"
There is, to my knowledge,
nothing now being done in a
tangible way to help them"
Simmons explained his reason
for adopting this unique method
of relief in the following excerpt
from his letter:
II feel that, through your nu-
merous radio contacts, you are
enabled to determine who those
needy and worthy artists, either
temporarily or permanently in
capacitated, are and would be
willing to aid them if the means
were provided"

EFFORTS to revive the Amalga-
- mated Broadcasting System,
Ed Wynn,s ill-starred Eastern
broadcasting network, for which
he had high hopes of national
expansion only to meet failure,
were in progress last week.
Member stations were meeting
with one another and with in
terests representing outside capi-
tai in the hope of saving the new
radio chain, the presidency of
which Ed Wynn forsook when he
returned from Hollywood and re-
newed his old Fire Chief con-
tract on a rival network. No word

Ed Wynn's personal loss was
said to run over $250,000, while
$21 900 in employe salaries and
other obligations were outstand-
ing when the network went off
the air. The real reason for the
failure was the inability to at
tract commercial sponsors to sup

YER sensitive to public
- criticism and political re-
actions, broadcasting as a
business-and that means
not merely the big networks but
some 500 individual or corporate
but independent owners of radio
stations supported by the sole
of time"-is faced squarely with
the problem of whether to accept
liquor advertising. They are Be
ginning to make their decisions
for the reason that distillers and
distributors are pressing for
time on the air"
Taking time by the forelock,
Columbia Broadcasting Systems
youthful president, William S.
Paley, has announced his network
will not carry any advertising of
whisky. gin or other hard
liquors." though it sees no reason
for refusing to carry programs
sponsored by beer and wine firms.
This decision actually was
prompted at this time because
one of the leading distilleries in
the country was urging the net
work to schedule a proposed pro-
gram series after December s.
A policy statement by M. H.
Aylesworth, president of National
Broadcasting Co., is expected
shortly and the best guess of
observers is that his company will
either follow suit or await the
"shakedown" of the post-prohibi-
tion era before deciding what
to do.
The various independently
owned stations have indicated
varying points of view, some
awaiting eagerly the new source
Of revenue that liquor will bring
and others indicating they will
not accept "liquor accounts" an
der any circumstance. Many are
in agreement that, if liquor ad-
vertising is carried at all, it
should be confined to mere name
or brand mentions without any
resorting to high pressure selling
talks, and the suggestion has.
also been made that liquor spon-
sors take the very late evening
periods when the youth of Amer
lea is presumed to have gone to
bed.
Radio is in a peculiar position
with respect to liquor advertiS-
ing, being bound by no law or
ter is discretionary with each
broadcaster in a wet State. In
that respect radio differs from
periodicals which enter the
mails, which cannot carry any
liquor advertising at all in view
Of the recent ruling Of the At
torney General holding that the
Reed amendment remains in eff
feet even after the eighteenth
amendment is repealed. Radio is
not mentioned in the Reed amend
ment.
But the broadcasters are by
no means confident they will
escape simply because an old law
pertaining to periodicals does not
mention radio in view of it's en-
actment before broadcasting came
into being. Some have asked the
Federal Radio Commission for a
ruling and the commission has
asked its legal department to rem
der an opinion which is expected
by the time repeal is voted.
The broadcaSters who look IA
vorably on this new source of
revenue contend that mere name
or brand mention cannot have the
effect of stimulating sales to in
temperate bounds; it will, they
say, merely promote one brand as

WAVE-LENGTH PlRATlNG
PROBLEM FOR EUROPE
Lack of Police Powers Prevents
Direct Action Against Unau-
thorized Stations. as in U. S.

Europe, like America, has its prob
lens of wave-length "pirating." Ac-
cording to 3D. Exer," writing in Wire
less World of London, these are often
unauthorized stations, whose transmits
sions have been tuned in by the Brus-
sells Laboratories, which is the official
checking bureau of the international
Radio Union. Though it can identify
the waves, this agency has no police
power such as the Federal Radio Com
mission exercises in this country, but
its checks may be the basis for action
by the authorities of the countries from
which the pirate" stations send out
their signals.
"The last U. I. r. report" says the
London writer, Shows no fewer than
a score of such stations. and there is
no question that many of them are re-
sponsible for heterodyne interference
with authorized transmissions.
THE position is rather disquieting
one, for the presence of such a number
of illicit stations on the medium wave
band is already something more than a
nuisance. and If they are allowed to
continue at work they may suffice to
upset the delicate balance of the
Lucerne plan" This writer also points
out that the bigger stations on the
550-1 500 kilocycle band, and some OF
the smaller ones, are causing harmonic
interference, the higher powered up to
the fifth harmonic.

RADIO QUOTA PLAN :,
MAY BE DISCARDED
Possible Changes, Due to Economic
and Legal Developments, Studied
by Commission.

The mathematical yardstick that has
been applied by the Federal Radio Com
mission to determine the allotment Of
broadcasting facilities due each zone
and each State within q given zone
may soon be discarded in view Of Ger
tain economic, scientific and legal de-
velopments" since it was effected at the
time of the reallocation Of 1928 -
The quota system, as this yardstick
has come to be known, is to be made
the subject OF an exhaustive study by
the commission as result of reso-
luton proposed by Col. Thad H. Brown,
second zone commissioner. Col. Brown
wants an overhauling of the quota
system so that the commission can ex-
ercise new administrative judgement
in determining the measurement of the
facilities due each section Of the
country.
The Davis amendment to the radio
law. under which the quota system was
adopted, decreed that the radio waves,
powers and hours on the air shall be
divided equally among the five zones
and then among the States in each
zone according to population. The
commission has been unable in nearly
ANe years 10 overcome Lle QlSparltleS
that continued to exist because some
areas had more facilities than others
at the outset and because the conrnis-
sion has not felt able. in most cases.
to deprive station owners of factlitie;
they had before the enactment of ths
Davis amendment.
AS things stand now, about hal
the States are over quota and hat
under quota in their mathematical al.
lotments. Persistent juggling has failed
to bring about an equilibrium, even
though the commission and its enai-
neers are well aware that some portions
OF the country are overseryed and
others undersigned. The Brown ia
quiry proposes to find a method of
overcoming the disparities, but no hint
has been given Of any tentative method
he may have In view.
