The true conservative seeks
to protect the system of private

correcting such injustices and in
equalties as arise from it, the
most serious threat to our in

refuse to face the need for

Opposed by Leaders
Remember that the first es-
sential Of doing q job well is to
want to see the job done. But
make no mistake about this,
Republican leadership today Is
not against the way we have
done the job. The Republican
leadership Is against the Job
being done.
Look to the source Of the
promises Of the past. Governor
Lehman knows and I know how
little legislation in the interests
Of the average citizen would be
on the statute books Of the State
Of New York, and the Federal
Government, if we had waited
for Republican leaders to pass it.
The same lack Of purpose Of
fulfillment lies behind the prom.
ises Of today. You cannot be an
Old Guard Republican in the
East, and a New Deal Repub-
hcan in the West.
You cannot promise to repeal
taxes before one audience and
promise to spend more of the
taxpayers money before another
audience. You cannot promise
The Washington times., 1936-09-30

tax relief for those who can
afford to pay, and, at the same
time, promise more of the tax
payers money for those who
are in need. You simply can
not make good on both promises
at the same time.
Must Protect Property
Who is there in America who
believes that we can run the

"A LMOST unnoticed in the Congress
"A sional rush toward adjournment
and the political conventions. was the
passage by the House yesterday of an
apparently innocuous measure which
in fact, imbues the Federal Communi-
cations Commission with infinitely
broader powers than it now exercises
for the ALLEGATION of broadcaSting
station facilities.
Without a dissenting voice, the
House passed a bill which repeals the
so-called Davis amendment to the
radio act which has been in the law
since 1928. About month ago, the
Senate approved the repeater, and it
likewise received little more than pass
ing notice.
q Actually, however, repeal of the
restrictive amendment Immediately
opens the way for licensing of new
stations in many areas throughout
the country, and for the increasing
of station power, hours Of operation
and other assignments for existing
stations. All this, of course, Is con-
tingent upon fitting in these new and
improved assignments so that no in
creased interference with with re-
ception of existing stations will be
caused.
Stripped of its many technical ram
ifications, the story is this: The Davis
amendment, adopted shortly after the
original Federal Radio Commission
was created in 1927, specified that the
country should be divided into five
radio zones, disproportionate in size,

but approximately the same popula-
ton. Then is was specified that each
of the zones should have the same
number of stations. the same alloca-
tions of power and the same broad
casting service, the distribution to be
based upon population. Finally 1t
provided there should be an equitable
distribution of the facilities among
the States in each zone, according to
population.
This placed the ALLEGATION Of broad
casting station assignments upon a
mathematical formula. In 1880, the
Radio Commission invoked what was
called the quota system" 1t adopted
unit of measure covering station
assign facilities according to units.
1t has never been able to strike
balance in the ALLEGATIONS, and more
than half of the States today are
over-quota" in broadcasting facili-
ties.
The reason for this was that the
commission was restricted in assign
ments to the amount Of facilities it
could cram into the geographically
small areas like New York and New
England, which had the great con-
centrations of populations. In other
words, New York set the pace for the
rest of the country. Yet the great
wide open spaces of the West, Mon
tana for example, couldn't have any
more facilities then their population
called for, although technically, they
could accommodate perhaps ten times
their quotas without interference.

Auto Radios Increase.

MOT so long ago only the lucky
folk with plush-lined pocket
books and a fair for the novelty in
life were the owners Of auto radios.
Eventually narrow-minded legislators
began to talk about prohibiting them
as nuisances and traffic menaces.
Now most Of these legislators have
radios in their own cars, along with
some 100000 or more average citi-
zens who also like to follow their IA
vorite programs and perhaps explore
for new ones as they motor to work
or cruise around for the fun Of it.
Columbia Broadcasting System got
interested in the subject recently and
found that some 100000 cars are
equipped with radios, perhaps increas-
ing to 100000 this Fall. 1t also
learned that these radios are used
more in Summer than in Winter; that
the average auto set is turned on 26
hours a day; that average use of auto
radios jumps about % per cent on
Sunday when the family is most likely
to go a-motoring; that popular tour
ist guide supplies lists of radio stations
and wave lengths for each region.

College Gets Permit.

WITH dozens of college owned

the ghost during the last 10 years be-
cause of lack of financial support, in
cluding that of Connecticut State Col
lege at Storrs, Conn, whose license was
surrendered last week. the Fedearl
Communications Commission has au-
thorized the first new college station
in several years with the granting Of a
100-watt construction permit to Lin
coin Memorial University at Harrow
gate, Tenn.
The permit was delivered to the COL
lege authorities personally at the COM
mencement exercises last week, at
which Col. Thad. H. Brown, F. C. C.
commissioner from Ohio, was the prin-
cipal speaker. Col. Brown also re-

eral manager responsible to an hon
orary board of nine governors repre-
senting the provinces was recommend
ed by a special parliamentary commit
tee studying the radio situation in that
country and reporting its findings last
week.
The committee reafflrmed the prin-
ciple of eventual complete nationaliza-
ton of broadcasting in Canada along
British lines. but recognized that this
was not possible for the present and
that privately owned stations could not
yet be displaced. 1t urged co-opera-
ton between the government radio
corporation, which already owns and
operates Z stations, while about so
more are privately owned. All of these
stations were purchased during the
last few years by the Radio Commits

indecency, obscenity and profanity,
and that is that equal opportunity to
use equivalent radio facilities be ac-
corded each candidate and his spokes-
man.
HAVING accumulated total assets
of close to 100000 in seven
years since the then 27-year-old Will
liam S. Paley took it over as a mori-
bund enterprise, Columbia Broad
casting System within the next few
years will move away from New York's
fashionable Madison avenue to the
still more swank Park avenue, occu-
pying a magnificent new home of its
own that will house one Of the most
modern studio, engineering and office
plants in radio.
This was disclosed in the wake of
the announcement that the network
soon will establish its own modern
studio structure in Hollywood at a
cost of $l75,000 after the Federal
Communications Commission approves
the deal whereby 1t recently agreed
to purchase the 50000-watt KNX,
Hollywood, at a cost of $l,250,000. 1t
was also disclosed that Pacific Coast
headquarters Of c. B. S. are to be
set up in San Francisco with a vice
president in charge on or about
July /.
The big real estate deal whereby
c. B. S. acquired 29,000-square-foot
plot of ground on the southeast cor
ner of Park avenue and Fifty-ninth
street involved properties having a
total assessed valuation Of $1,735 900
and will necessitate the razing Of a
luxurious residential row to make way
for the radio building, which will also
have shopping centers and business
offices. Detailed plans for the build
ing have not been made due to the
fact that the company's lease on its
present quarters does not expire until
1899.
At PRESENT the network is so
cramped for space that it leases
three Broadway theaters for studio
shows, and the tentative plan is to
integrate all its activities in one large
building just as N B. c. did several
years ago when it moved into Radio
City.
Columbia has shown remarkable
strides in recent years, its last bal
ance sheet showing total current and
working assets of s5,533 900 after an
earned surplus of about s2,750,o0o in
1895, when its gross revenues ran
$17,637, ,OO0 This year it has out
stripped its competitors in time
sales" with revenues from that source
running s7,934,oOO for the first four
months alone and with every indica-
ton that its gross will far exceed
$40, 900, 900 for the year.

THIS comedy business on the air is
- not a jokeareally! AS matter Of
fact, listeners are demanding more
and more buffoonery, and they are
getting it too.
Public reaction, more than any
other single thing, governs stations
and networks in their selection of pro-
gram schedules. 1t was five years
ago that the demand for buffoonery
on the air really got under way. Since
then there has been a constant in
crease in that type of offering.
An analysis recently completed by
National Broadcasting Co. shows that
the trend toward comedy goes on un-
diminished. For example, in March,
comedy patter and jokes accounted
for 4.6 per cent of the total network
program hours Q8 hours per day),
sending this classification to its high
est March figure in five years.
There has been surprising increase

also in the number Of international
program hours-broadcasts originat-
ing abroad. This is attributed to two
conditions-the remarkably satisfac-
tory results procured in technical way
by virtue of engineering advances, and
the increased American interest in af-
fairs in the troubled countries of Eu-
rope. International program hours
increased 122 per cent over March of
last year for N. B. C. There were SO
pickups from IL countries, consuming
nine hours and II minutes during last
March.
Uncle Sam is using the mike more
than ever to keep the people posted
on Federal activities. During last
March, Government officials made Sc
microphone appearances over N. B. c.,
consuming nearly Is hours. This was
an increase of 20 per cent over March
of last year. and is partially attributed
to the campaign year.

and perhaps a million or more dollars
will have been spent for the privilege
of talking to you via michrophone and
loud speaker
If you enjoy your politics, you will
get plenty of it and more. Rest as
sured. at least, that you will be able
to follow the proceedings Of the Re-
publican Convention and the Demo-
cratic Convention far better In the
comfort of your own home than if you
were actually present in the big Cleve-
land or Philadelphia auditoriums-so
elaborate are the arrangements being
made by the various radio networks to
cover" these events.
If politics boreS you and you resent
the shunting aside of favorite enter
tainment programs to accommodate
the loquaciouS vote-SeekerS, you will
simply have to trust to the partisan
wisdom of the political generals in
their assurances that they intend to
disrupt regular radio schedules as
little as possible during both the con-
ventions and the campaign.
A FTER the conventions ana tne lor-
mality of the notification
speeches, which will be broadcast at
radios own expense as public service
events, there will be a certain check
on the amount of political oratory you
will hear by radio. Thenceforth poll
tics takes on a commodity selling as
pect and the politicians, including
President Roosevelt himself, will have
to pay for their time on the air
exactly as if they were venders of soap
or automobiles.
BY common consent, political
speeches after the candidates are Sc
lected fall in the commercial cate
CORY. Time is no longer donated; 1t
must be purchased, and it costs plenty.
For instance, an evening hook-up OF
Columbia Broadcasting Systems 100
stations will cost the parties, as 1t
costs other business concerns, some
thing like $4,000 an hour. For the
National Broadcasting Co.'S red net
work of IS stations such a period
costs about $4,000, and for its blue
network of SO stations the price
Is around SIS 900. Mutual Broadcast
ing Systems four-station basic hook
up will cost little over $4,000, and
the Inter-City Group Of 8 to 10 East
ern Seaboard stations costs around
$3.50.
Having spent about s5oO,OOO each
for radio time in the 1882 campaign,
both the Republican and Democratic
National Committees are expected to
spend that much or more this year.
They will both want lot of time, and
the limit may only be their pocket
books and their credit this year in
view of the intensity of the cam
paign. The radio law places only one
limitation upon the use of radio in
politics other than its prohibition of
