FARMERS SEEK AID

Science will arm against the four
horsemen of disaster, drought, dust
storms, soil erosioni and floods, re-
ports the Literary Digest.
Attending the annual meeting of
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science in Mime
apolis, 500 of Americas leading
scientists repaid their host by "a
greeting to combat natures destruc
tive weapons against the farmer.
If the west is to be relieved of
climatic disaster, accurate, depend
able scientific knowledge is needed
to develop long range plans for
land-use, said DR.. Isaih Bowman,
Chairman of the Nationl Research
Council.
eve cannot stop the recurrence
of droughts, but we can avoid their
worst effects. We can not prevent
soil erosion by water and wind, but
we can greatly reduce the rate of
erosion.
"The immediate land problem of
the West is not where to place a
proposed shelter belt but where
to turn farm land back to range
land. A strong force of experts
should be working on mass climat-
illogical data on the Great Plains
accumulated by the weather bur-
eau"

New Era in Programming.

Radio tongues are wagging these
days over the revolutionary policies
adopted by the Columbia Broadcast
ing System affecting commercial an
nouncements, medical programs and
children's features. The concensuS is
that it opens a new era in radio pro-
gramming and that gradually all sta
tions will fall in line by adopting
policies that fit into the Columbia
mould.
In one gigantic move, Columbia has
effected changes in its program oper-
ations that appear to spike the guns
of all those who have so belligerently
attacked broadcasting because of its
commercialism. The action also
seems to coincide with the expressed
views of members of the Federal
Communications Commission. notably
Chairman Aiming S. Prall, who have
recently hit the war-path on alleged
program indiscretions.
Good taste" covers the entire
scope of the action of Columbia. 1t
has placed rigid limit on the max
imum amount of sales talk in pro-
grams, because it feels that those that
are too long and too commercial re-
act unfavorably and therefore are
not in good taste" 1t has clamped
the lid on medical problems which
describe graphically or repellently
any internal bodily functions" which
again is question of good taste. .
Finally it is creating new standards
for children's programs by excluding
all those deemed to improperly in
fluence the juvenile.
In taking this action, William S.
Paley. Columbia president, declared
he felt it would rebound to the bene-
fit Of both advertisers and stations.
Actually, the action sets up new
standards for the industry as a whole,
for other stations inevitably will feel
the repercussions and will be obliged
to reshape their own policies to con-
form with that of Columbia.
The new policies will be placed in
effect gradually, to work least possible
hardships on present program spon-
Sors and fulfill existing commitments
of the network to sponsors. In the
case of the rigid restrictions on the
amount of advertising permissible in
programs, this policy becomes effec-
tive July 30 A maximum of 10 per
cent of the total broadcasting period
then will be devoted to commercial
announcements at night During the
day it will be Is per cent. The only
exception will be on quarter
programs, where an additional allow
ance of 40 seconds will be made be-
cause the short program requires as
much time as the longer one for
routine station and network an
nouncements.

F. C. G. Rule Is Boomerang.

Just when the Federal Communica-
tions Commission was hitting its
stride in procurement Of technical
and legal personnel to treble its staff
and wage war on things it construed
unjust in communications, including
broadcasting, it adopted a stringent
personnel order that appears to be
undoing everything it had accomp-
lished in a personnel way.
Already, it is learned, the commits
sion's general counsel, Paul D. P.
Spearman, and several of his chief
assistants are contemplating leaving
the F. C. c. prior to July l. The
reason is that the order would bar
from practice before the F. c. c. for
two years after July any present
employe, whatever his capacity. This
stringent rule is proving a serious
boomerang, for not only are old en-
leave, but many candidates for posi-
tions in its legal, engineering and ac-
counting departments are becoming
luke warm.
The rule, according to its author,
Commissioner George Henry Payne.
was designed to eliminate politics"
in practice before the F. C. C. He
said that many lawyers have left the
/ F. c. c. and its predecessor, the Radio
| Commission. only to reappear as
counsel for the very stations they had
prosecuted while on the Government
staff. Mr.. Payne's new rule, adopted
/ 11Do ?, iroO1lSlv bv the p q = eIlDpr-
sedes one approved earlier this year,
but which proved to be innocuous.
The initial action was taken after
Senator Wheeler. Democrat, of Mon
tana had sharply criticized alleged
playing Of politics in the F. c. c.
| during an investigation Of that body.
While apparently aimed only at
| lawyers. the new ruling strikes at all
F. c. C. employees. Engineers and
accountants. for example. would be
unable to appear before the F. c. c.
/ for two years if they left that agency's
employ after July l. This is re-
garded as particularly important in
/ the case of the F. c. CS telephone in
vestigation, now in its earlier stages,
| since many experts now employed by
| State utilities commissions have been
! counted on to help in this work. With
| the adoption of the rule, however,
most of these State commission pros
poets are turning deaf ears to the
F. c. c. entreaties because it would
| prevent their return to State commits
sions which necessarily practice be-
| fore the F. G. c. for two years.

shoulder. And here is where broad
casting rears its powerful head TO pre-
pare the way for adoption of spelling
system that would be simple enough
to compel worldwide mastery OF the
English language.
Already radio is doing wonders in
standardizing pronunciation. AS
matter of fact broadcasters work over
time, bending over dictionaries and
culling encyclopedias in an effort to
provide some degree of uniformity in
English as she is spoke"
Every word of the announcer Is
exposed to the critical ears of intel
ligent-and not so intelligent-listen-
ers who delight in heaping invec-
tives upon him. Let one spurious
syllable escape his lips and the next
days mail brings a flock of pointed
letters challenging his ancestry and
referring caaustically to his schooling.
The fact remains, however, that
broadcasters have brought pronuncia-
tion to a high plane, says Prof. James.
Logically the next step in simplifying
the language is to recast its spelling
on phonetic principles Confronting
those daring enough to tackle the
Job are mountainous obstacles. but
none of the troubles encountered can
be too great if SO important mission
is to be carried to successful con-
clusion.
Not only would ''internationaliza-
ton" of the language bind English
speaking nations closer but the cause
of world peace would be served still
more effectively If messages from the
microphone could be delivered to the
ears of a substantial part of the
worlds population.
