Broadcasters Discuss
Program Standards

Plans for more effective regula-
ton of radio program content by the
industry will be discussed in a two
day session beginning today at the
Willard Hotel of the Board of Di-
rectors of the National Association
of Broadcasters, trade association in
cluding in it's membership most
network affiliated and large indie
pendent radio stations.
A special committee is to be ap-
pointed to study all codes of pro-
gram ethics now in force and to
formulate a new code for the asso-
citation to replace that put in effect
in 1885. It is expected that the
new standards will be accompanied
by provision of some method OF
policing" the stations.
Particular problems slated for con-
sideration at the meeting are ex-
cessive advertising in programs and
treatment of dramatic presenta-
tions. Radio plays have command
ed careful attention of broadcasters
since the Orson Welles Martian "in-
vasion" scare.
Neville Miller, president of the
National Association of Broadcast
ers, will preside at the session, which
members hope will lead to efficient
self-regulation in order that in
creased Federal control may be made
unnecessary.

class" Capt. Atkinson continued Il
told the class that Sunatra was
about 800 miles long and that Borneo
was the largest island in the world.
A few days later in the same class
a quiet little fellow held up his hand.
What is it, Eden?' I said. Well,
sir, the other day you said that
Sumatra was 800 miles long, and,
please, sir, it is 1.120 miles long I
asked him how he knew. I meas
ured it, sir he replied.
Since English schoolnlasters call
their pupils by their last names only
Capt. Atkinson said that his form
book" contained such famed names
as "Chitty," grandson of the late
famed English lord justice. and
Lord Napier of Magdala and shy
little fellow called Stanley.
Capt. Atkinson, recalling name
taking" in his class, said that he
called Stanley to his desk and
asked him his surname. MY name
is Stanley, sir" he answered. Capt
Atkinson said that he facetiously
asked Stanley if he was related te
the famous explorer. Capt. Atkin.

himself up and replied, "He is m!
