BAR GROUP SEES
NEW AIR CONTROL
Unified Regulation of Com
munications Proposed by
Representative Rayburn.

While Representative Sam >Rayburn
of Texas, Democratic chairman of the
House Interstate Commerce Committee
is improving his time during the con-
gressional recess gathering data to sup
port his proposed communications
commission bill, the American Bar AS
sociation is taking cognizance of the
prospective regulation of radio, tele-
phones, telegraphs and cables by such
a commission.
Meeting last week for its annual
convention in Grand Rapids, Mich, the
association received a report from its
standing Committee on Communica-
tions, which in effect forecasts the not
far distant day when all communica-
tions will be brought under the control
of one Federal agency At present, the
Federal Radio Commission regulates
radio; the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has certain jurisdiction over
rates of Interstate wire and wireless
services, and the executive branch
Estate Department. has jurisdiction
over licenses for the landing of COM
mercial cables.
Backed by President.
Mr.. Rayburns bill proposes to COM
bine the regulation of all these into one
agency for the sake of economy and
efficiency. He has stated that his plan
bears the approval of President RooSe-
velt in principle. Senator Couzens,
former Republican chairman of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee,
also has such a bill, and Senator Dill,
Democratic co-author of the radio act
and now chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Committee. also favors CO.
ordinated regulation.
The bar report, submitted by John
w. Guider, Washington attorney, who
has specialized in radio, points out the
inter-relation of all forms of wire and
wireless communication, and asserts
that division of authority over them
has continued too long. At the same
time it warns lest Congress, in making
basic changes in the system of regula-
ton, neglect to take advantage of the
results and experience gained by ex-
isting regulatory bodies. The general
conviction has prevailed in Washington
that when a commission on communi-
cations Is formed 1t Wilt be in the nature
of revamped Federal Radio Commits
sion, but with its members and staff
having jurisdiction over wires as well as
wireless.
Favors Regulation. =.
The Bar Committee obviously favors
such unified regulation, pointing out
that radio is adaptable for communica-
ton with points where the construc-
ton of wire lines is impra actical or i'm
possible and that all communication
systems of any magnitude use both
types Of facilities.
I'VE submit" says the report, that it
is hardly consistent with economy or
maximum efficiency to have the regu-
lation of wireless communication agen-
cies under one body and such regulation
of wire communication agencies .
as exists under another, while the ques-
ton of rates for such service, frequently
involving both types of service. are fire.
quently governed by the conditions Of
competition prevailing at a particular
time and place. The situation created
thereby is not only contrary to the
public interest, but is contrary to the
interests of the communications COM
panies themselves"

4 N Almost compete silence
n has been maintained dur
~ ing the last few weeks by
= Amalgamated Broadcast
ing System, the projected Ed
Wynn network, but it is known
that occasional test broadcasts
have been carried over its six-sta-
ton hookup between New York
and Washington. Rumors have
persisted that 1t will 60 on the
air regularly, around September
Is, but these are discounted in
the absence Of official statements
from the heads Of the proposed
network.
That the call letters Of the
Wynn networks New York key
station will not be WFDR, as pre-
viously suggested, as a gesture to-
ward Franklin D. Roosevelt, was
definitely indicated when applica-
ton was made to the Federal Ra-
dio Commission for authority to
combine WBNX, WCDA and
WMSG, time-sharing New York
stations, and to call them WBNX.
WITH the help Of two men and
w enough gadgets, all the sounds
and noises of the actual dock
ing of Mississippi River steamer
are reproduced with faithful ac-
curacy each time Capt. Henry's
Show Boat warps into her landing
over a WEAF network Thursday.
The various noises of the water
way are so intricate and so much
an integral part of the show that
the sponsors Of the program hired
two technicianS to devise and op-
crate the scores of contraptions
necessary to produce the sounds
called for in the script.
The thrashing and turning of
the paddle wheels and most Of
the other sounds are artificial,
but the wheezy show boat CALI
ope tune which inaugurates the
program each week, however, is
played on a life-sized calliope,
which is run by compressed air.
It hasn't been tuned for years
purposely-so it will sound like
a real show boat.

LEASE OF WMAL CAUSE
OF SUIT TESTING LAW
Action Again Brings up Restraint
of Trade Charge in Case
Filed Here.

Another revival of the old "Clause g.
tube case, in which Radio Corporation
of America was adjudged to be acting
in restraint of trade and violating the
Clayton act, has been filed in the Court
of Appeals of the District, where Gerald
v. Moore of Washington has asked for
a revocation of the wave-length license
of WMAL, recently leased to the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., wholly owned
subsidiary of R. C. A. Mr.. Moore is
a former member of the WMAL busi-
ness staff.
Justice Cox has given the Federal
Radio Commission until September II
to reply to the Moore suit, which al
leges the N. B. G. was granted its
radio licenses illegally In view of the
adjudication of monopoly in the tube
case.
If Moore's contentious are upheld,
the N. B. c. would stand to lose not
only the license of WMAI, but those
of 16 other stations that it owns or
operates under leases of managerial
agreements. A similar suit, filed by
another party, also charging monopoly
and seeking to deprive N. B. c. of all
its waves, was recently dismissed by the
same court.

Al SMITH BECOMES
WMCA CHAIRMAN
Democratic Leader Accepts
Post With Federal Broad.
casting Corporation.
BY ROBERT MACK.

Al Smith probably won't poke fun at
the "rad-dio" any more. It has become
business with him now.
Although radio opportunity had
knocked at the former New York Gov
ernor's door for many months, 1t was
only last week that 1t received q re-
sponse. He has accepted the chairman
ship Of the board Of the newly-formed
Federal Broadcasting Corporation and
has q group Of socially prominent indus
trialists as his associates. The new
company has leased station WMCA in
New York and is thinking about start
ing new network.
Declined to Be "Czar.S
It was just year ago that Mr.. Smith
turned down an offer to become "czar"
OF the broadcasting industry. At that
time the National Association of Broad
casters, in convention in st. Louis,
asked him to accept post which would
make him the radio counterpart Of what
VIII Hays Is to the movies. He rejected
1t promptly and the idea Of q Gear" was
dropped. Instead, Newton D. Baker,
former Secretary of War, was appointed
copyright counsel for the broadcasters.
As chairman Of the WMCA board,
Mr.. Smith will become closely identified
with the business end of radio. The
WMCA project, however, may meet op-
position before the Radio Commission.
which is now inquiring into the deal
whereby the commercial and program
presentation rights of the station were
procured under q five-year lease said to
be approximately $155,00 a year. The
question Of "trafiicking" in broadcast
ing station licenses is being injected
into the commissions discussion.
Has Business Aim.
When the group of prominent busi-
ness men, most Of them scions of IA
NOUS New York families, leased WMCA
from the Knickerbocker Broadcasting
Co.. they stated their aim was ito de-
velor programs that will serve to bring
so-called big business and the public
into a more harmonious unicn"
Officers in the enterprise, besides Mr..
Smith. are John T. Adams, vice presi-
dent OF WMCA since last February and
organizer OF the group, president; Glen
denim ]. Ryan, jr.. vice president; Mai.
I. o. Freeman, vice president and sec
retary; James K. Norris, treasurer:
Bethuel M. Webster, jr., former general
counsel OF the Radio Commission, coun-
sci and director. The other directors
are Allen A. Ryan, jr.: John Hay Whit
ney, Walter S. Mack, jr: A. Newbold
Morris, Howard G. Gushing, Robert H.
Thayer and Paul H. Mite.

INDIANA is getting into the radio
L limeHght. When Edwin c. Hill
and Singin' Sam inaugurate
their new joint series it will be an
ALL Hoosier proposition, for even
the shaving cream company
which Is sponsoring their pro-
gram Is an Indiana concern.
It's about time, too, that the
Hoosier State was brought before
the radio public in a big way.
Every time Irwin Cobb steps to

Sented.
Hill is product of Aurora, Ind.
His father was superintendent
OF schools and his mother a teach
er. Hill attended Indiana Univer-
sity and Butler and got his start
on Indianapolis and Fort Wayne
papers.
Singin' Sam is a Hoosier by
adoption, Though born across
the line in Kentucky, his parents
settled in Richmond, Ind, when
he was but 8. Recently Sam
bought farm whose grounds in
clude the site of the boyhood

spending the Summer there.
A RTHUR PRYOR, JR., son of
"A the famous bandmaster, will
direct the new March of Time
series which will be heard over
the Columbia network Fridays,
starting early in October.
The arduouS task of producing
Columbia's weekly news dramati-
zation will not be new to Pryor.
for he was the directing authority
behind the first March of Time
series. which ran in the Spring
and Summer Of 1881. A thorough
knowledge of the theater, music
and broadcasting technique quail
ify Pryor eminently for directing
radios most difficult program.
In normal times the director OF
the March Of Time Is obliged to
devote practically all of his time
from Tuesday afternoon to Fri
day Of each week in preparing to
put the current events re-enact-
ments on the air. If he gets
more than 10 hours sleep all told
during this period he considers
himself fortunate. But the Fall
and Winter of 1933-34 give no in
dication of returning to normal
cy." While major news develop
mentS occur in every corner Of
the globe with unprecedented ra-
pidity, getting the multifarious
elements Of the program into
shape for the air deadline will be
more than a man-sized Job.

NEXT WAR is TOPIC
Discussion to Be Broadcast on
National Chain Friday.

Will the civilian be the victim of the
next war? This question, which has
been answered in the affirmative by
some prominent pilitarists and scien-
lists, will be reviewed Friday over an
N. B. c. network by Lieut.. Col. Anson F.
Robinson. 305th Infantry: Rev. Jerome
Harris, curate of st. Ignatius Church,

will be interviewed BY Elmendorf L.
Carr, whose brilliant service record in
the Navy during the World War won
him citations by three United States
admirals.
Developments In offensive warfare
since 1918 have led many experts to de-
clare that the next war will be fought
at the long range, with the civilian
population bearing the brunt Of the
casualties. The correctness Of this pre-
diction will be discussed by the speak
