ADVERTISING DRIVE
TO AFFECT RADIO
Industry Goes on Record as Favor
ing House Cleaning" Of
Sales Talk.

Vital concern is being evinced In
in advertising" campaign of the ad-
ministration, designed to eliminate de-
ceptive and misleading advertising OF
every character.
While radio advertisers In the past
have been accused Of infiicting upon
the public excessive doses of sales talk
the industry has gone on record as
favoring "house cleaning" and be-
lieves it has made definite strides. The
fact that the administrator program
to prohibit false or misleading adver-
tising of securities, as well as foods
and drugs, applies to all media, wheth-
er printed or spoken, eases the sting
for the broadcasters.
A bill introduced In the Senate by
Senator Capper Of Kansas would pro-
hibit untrue, deceptive or misleading
advertising through the use Of the
mails, in print or over the air. Him
self the publisher Of two newspapers
in Topeka, Senator Capper asks that
any one found guilty OF violating the
proposed law be fined $1,000 or i'm
prisoned for five years, or both.
The securities bill, which would
safeguard the public against purchase
of fraudulent stocks, has passed both
houses OF Congress. The food and
drug project, however, Is in its forma-
tive stages and probably will not &c
to Congress until next January. As
sistant Secretary of Agriculture r. G.
Tugwel now is endeavoring to ascer-
tain how to amend the food and drugs
act to make 1t unlawful to advertise
such products as to deceive the public
Because more than so per cent of the
products advertised over the air come
under these general headings, the
broadcasting industry naturally is vital
ly interested.

SHORT WAVES RESERVED

Indicating again how Federal radio
officials are looking to the ultra-short
wave lengths for the future develop
ment CT television, was the recon-
mendation of Chief Examiner Yost to
the Federal Radio Commission that it
deny the application of DR.. George w.
Young, operator Of Station WDGY,
Minneapolis, for authority to erect a
new 5O0-watt television station there
to operate on 2,o00-2,10o kilocycles.
Though Yosy found the applicant
had requisite facilities for visual re-
search, he pointed out that the ap-
pIcant himself had admitted that the
frequency band 2,000-2,100 cannot be
expected to be the final frequencies on
which television can operate, but that
quasi-optical frequencies must be used"
The 2,000-2,100 kilocycle band now
has four stations authorized to use 1t,
but the expectation is that these waves
will shortly be turned over to police
and other services and that television
will be moved entirely to the $4,000
10000 kilocycle bands.

AUSTRIAN RADIO TO PAY
TO PUT OPERA ON AIR
Government Charges System
100000 to Offset Loss Of
Attendance.

Because broadcasting Is alleged to
cut into attendance at the government
supported operas and theaters in Aus
tria, the radio system of that country,
known as Ravag. has been assessed ap-
proximately $4,000 for the year Of 1888
for the privilege Of broadcasting 80
performances Of the State Opera. The
arrangement. with the minister of edu-
cation also includes allowing radio to
use the state controlled Academy The
ater In Vienna for rehearsals when not
otherwise in use.
The 100000 is in addition to about
$50 900 previously assessed and Ravag's
stations are also to be permitted to
broadcast classical and repertory plays
by the company of the Burg Theater.
These theaters and those in the prov
inces are to be compensated from the
radio fees, which will be obtained by
increasing the month set fees charged
listeners, about 10 cents. Austrian radio
listeners, according to the United
States Department Of Commerce rec
ords. pay totals Of from $3.40 to $40 an
nually in radio license fees the amount
depending upon their income.

By THE RADIO EDITOR.

fence and outmaneuvering his
inadequately informed victim.
"The radio set today Is as i'm
portant a piece of farm equip
ment as the tractor or the auto
mobile"
Mr.. Mullen estimates that one
out Of three of the 1000, 900 farm
families in the United States has
a radio. As for farmer radio
preferences, he is convinced that
the farmer has "the same sense
of humor, the same love of the
beautiful, the same dislike of
things tawdry and cheap, the
same feeling of the fitness of
things and the same desire to
improve himself as any one else"
Although his environment has
led him to place different values
on things" Mr.. Mullen continued,
II am certain that in evaluating
radio the same measuring stick
for the most part can be applied
to city and farm audience alike.
I do not believe those who say the
farmer will not listen to a SYM
phony concert or those who urge
that farm program should con-
tain Turkey in the Straw I can
1 find thousands of city folk who
love the latter and tune out the
former.
"Test yourself. They like old
time music, but who doesn't?
They like tuneful ballads, lovely
old hymns, jigs, bits Of homely
| philosophy or verse, stirring
march but, then again, who
doesn't? A decade of broadcast
ing has made the farm home
more music conscious than ever
before, and appreciative~ in the
most literal sense of good music,
be it symphony, grand opera,
musical comedy or a modern
dance tune"
Replying to a QUESTIONABLE, 700
master farms out Of 5000 solicited
revealed that 90 per cent listened
to the radio at noon and more
than half listened six days a week.
Ninety per cent indicated they
listened attentively to talks, one
third of them keeping notes on
what was said and almost all of
them keenly appreciative of the
radio services of the Department
Of Agriculture and of the farm
organizations. About 40 per cent
even indicated they listened to
talks on crops not grown in their
territory. Farm women like home
economics programs, and most Of
them said they apply the infor-
nation obtained. About 10 per
cent of those who answered stated
that the children listen to farm
programs. Asked whether they
prefer both entertainment and
information In a farm radio pro-

MPLOYMENT
PLAN PUSHED
President Confers With Pair
Of Cabinet Members On Prog
ress Made.
BY II. O. THOMPSON
United Press Staff COrreSDOnde


WASHINGTON, July 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, pushing for fast
spread of employment under his
national recovery program, called
in Secretary of Commerce Roper
and Hugh Johnson, industrial ad-
ministrator, today for a discussion
of progress made and policies for
the future.
Mr.. Roosevelt discussed phases
of the public works program with
Roper yesterday and then sched-
uled the three cornered conference
for a survey of the industrial plan
, ming situation.
The President wanted particular
ly to go over the code of fair COM
petition for the cotton textile in
dustry, the only code that has un-
dergone public hearings and the
one further advanced toward ac-
tual operation.
Administrators of the N. I. r. A.
feel that the textile code repre-
sents a job we'll done. They con-
slider it evidence that controversial
problems can be settled quickly
once industry and labor meet
around "the partnership table" in
the spirit of cooperation. for the
common good.
Leaders of the industry agreed to
Cd eliminate child labor ca in
crease the minimum wage to the
pulS hasinty power level of 1929;
go limit workers hours to 40 per
week; and a. restrict machines
hours to 80, thus shaping produc-
ton to probable demand
President Roosevelt will study
the code and Johnson's recon-
mendations for possible modifica-
tions before announcing his atti-
tude. 1t was believed 1t would be
accepted and put into effect sub
stantially as now constituted.
Formulation on a code for the
apparel industry was delayed when
Earl Howard, deputy administrator,
suffered heart attack in New
York yesterday. The code is in vir-
tually final form, however, and
will be completed as quickly as pos
sible Other industries also are
nearly ready to submit their codes.

TURNER ASKS
RULE CHANGE

LOS ANGELES, July 6. (UP)-
A request that the National Aer-
onautic association change it's rules
governing the Thompson trophy
race, premier speed classic of the
annual national air races, will be
made by Col. Roscoe Turner, he
announced today after being dis
qualified as winner of this year S
event.
Turner was disqualified by the
contest committee because he fail
ed to re-circle an omitted pylon on
the first lap of the race Tuesday.
He twice rounded the pylon on the
second lap but the committee de-
cided this did not meet the race
requirements and awarded the first
prize to James Wedell of Patterson,
La, who finished second.
81 realize the rule is there and
the committee is bound by. it, -
Turner said. "However, high speed
races are very different affairs now
from what they were when the rule
was first made. The visibility in
Tuesday S race was very poor, and
believed I had flown directly over
the pylon. However, if had turned
back then, would have been in
danger of colliding with other
planes following me. I shall ask
the national contest committee to
give me some consideration in my
position that this rule of an i'm
mediate return to the missed pylon
should not be applicable when the
present speed Of ships is consider
ed.o
Indicating that next years races
would be returned here came from
Phil Henderson, assistant managing
director, who believed small sur
plus may have been realized from
the four day show. Stands erected
at Municipal Airport were ordered
stored away. The races are held
under contract by a Cleveland Or
ganization but its permission was
believed likely in view of the de-
ficit the show encountered in the
Ohio city in 1881 and 1882.

GRANGE WILL
OPPOSE TAX
Proposed Levy On Incomes To
Be Fought By Agricultural
Organization.

SACRAMENTO, July 6. U.Pj =
On record in favor of a state in
come tax, the California state
Grange today had opened cam
paign against the proposed retail
sales tax by which the state hopes
to balance its budget for the cur
rent biennium.
The statewide campaign to be
conducted by the Grange will be
designed particularly to block le-
gislative approval of sales tax on
necessities such as food and cloth
| ing. and advocate the approval of
an income tax sufficient to raise
$20,000,000 annually.
Plans for the campaign were an
nounced by George Sehlmeyer,
master of the Grange, following a
meeting of the executive committee
of the organization attended by
| Harry Barnes, San Jose; John Hart
ley, Napa; F. w. Loosely, Pittville,
and Sehlmeyer
State Controller Ray l.. Riley and
Fred Stewart, equalization board
member, who sponsored new tax
plan submitted to the people as
proposition No. /, are drafting Leg
islation for 3 per cent sales tax
by which they expect to make UP
most of the SIPS, 100000 needed in
new revenue.
| In announcing the. Oranges tax
stand, Sehlmeyer said that gen.
eral sales tax would be 'tax on
poverty" He claimed that in 1925
there were $4,000 persons with in
dividual incomes over $4,000 whose
gross receipts Amounted to $780,
100000 while there were 10000
persons with incomes less than S..
600 a year who carried 80 per cen
| of the tax load.
The proposed income tax, still II
tentative form, probably will be pre-
sented at rates half those of the
federal government. Such tax
the Grange believes, would yielo
enough to exempt food and cloth
ing necessities from any consumers
tax the legislature may find neces-
Sary.

With the American league team

the third inning with Charlie Geh-
ringer, Detroit second baseman, on
first base, and wild Bill' Halla-
han, Cardinals southpaw on the
mound. Ruth had been called out
on strikes on his first time at bat
in the opening inning. Hallahan
had been having trouble with his
control, and threw two balls to the
Babe. The third one he got over
the plate, waist high, and Babe
caught it on the height of his
mighty swing, and sent low,
arching line drive into the right
field stands.
Gehringr scored ahead of him,
and those two runs were good
enough to win a bitterly fought
game, in which the players on both
teams battled as though they were
