BILL SEEKS NEW
RADIO COMMISSION
Monaghan Measure Would
Create 9-Member Group
Similar to Old.
MOTHER new commission in

A MOTHER new commission In
~ Washington, one that presum-
~ ably would do away with the
N existing three-man broadcast
division of the Federal Communica-
lions Commission, is proposed in bill
introduced by Representative Monag-
han, Democrat, of Butte, Mont. The
bill would create nine-man Federal
Radio Commission, reviving the name
of the now extinct commission which
the F. G. G. superseded about year
ago.
The measure would extinguiSh all
existing radio licenses issued by the
F. c. c. as of the end of 1885, and
would authorize the new commission
to acquire by purchase the apparatus
now used by broadcasting stations at
a price not to exceed so per cent Of
the price originally paid. The new
Radio Commission, whose members
would be appointed from nine sepa-
rate zones, would operate radio sta
tions itself, and would be permitted to
'tsell time" for wholesome and bene-
fetal commercial advertising not to
exceed two hours per day. The pro-
ceeds would 60 toward defraying the
expense Of operating the stations.
I. Though Monaghan is member Of
the House committee charged with
radio legislation, it is regarded as
extremely unlikely that his bill will
get beyond the committee stage, If it
even gets committee consideration, in
view of the fact that it costs $780,
900, 1000 year to operate American ra-
Ciio stations and networks and that
much advertising revenue is not in
sight for any governmentally operated
system.

FRISCO AREA
DAMAGED BY
LANDSLIDE

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26. W.P)-
A landslide caused by leaking water
mains forced 25 nuns, members of
the faculty of San Francisco College
for Women. to evacuate a dormitory
wing and caused heavy damage in
the Francisco Heights area today.
The slide left gaping hole 300
feet wide in the side of Lone noun
tain, on which the college stands.
The edge of the slide was only go feet
away from the dormitory and police
feared the sandy soil would give
way further, endangering the COL
lege buildings and the occupants.
Thousands of tons of earth broke
from the mountain and poured
across two streets, taking light poles
shrubbery and other objects with it.
After firemen arrived, $50 feet
of concrete pavement, leading to the
college buildings, crashed into the
slide. Sidewalks and pavementS
were torn up or buckled by the
shifting earth.
