RADIO ADVERTISING.
PURG|NG IS STUDIED.
Federal CommissionLay Out
Program After Dill Issues
Warning.

= TEPS may be taken by the Fed
eral Radio Commission to curb
excessive radio advertising in
. programs through PRONUNCIATION
of a ban upon all advertising
prohibited by law from appearing in
newspapers
Smarting under the sting Of the re-
buke handed 1t by Senator Dill Of
Washington. radio leader in Congress,
who threatened the commission with
campaign for its abolition unless 1t
awakens from its lethargy, the board is
now giving thought to a program Of &C
ton. Thus far, it is understood, the
plan is to adopt as a matter Of policy
a resolution which would make it vio-
lation of commission regulations to
broadcast commercial programs con-
trary to advertising ethics.
Upon his return to the Capital this
week, Senator Dill assailed the commits
sion as utterly lacking in initiative. He
said 1t seems to have no conception OF
It's duty and has done nothing about
all the growing protests against adver-
tiSing methods and blatant advertising
in programs" Unless the commission
becomes a more Elective body, he will
promote plan to reduce 1t to one di-
rector, instead Of five commissioners,
with sort of radio court" to pass on
the single officials rulings.
In Senator Dill's opinion, the commits
sion has the power to check excessive
advertising in programs through estab-
nshment of standards. This can be
done, he insists, by informing stations
that unless they toe the mark on COM
mercial programs they will be cited for
hearing and possible loss of their broad
casting licenses.
Newspapers now are prohibited by
law from publishing lottery advertise
ments. While there IS no such provision
in the radio law, the code of fair COM
petition for the broadcasting industry,
recently approved by N. r. A., carries a
similar restriction. Both the postal
laws, governing newspapers. and the
radio law carry provisions against the
use Of obscene, profane or indecent Ian
guage.
THE band Of Sing Sing Prison has
