that time. there was a belief there
was not enough information on
which to lay down the program for
establishment Of stations.
The early report had the unin-
tended effect of cooling the public
toward efforts Of the manufac-
turers to get their sets on the mar
ket,, and the industry is said to
have suffered, so much 50 IN fact
that the matter was called to the
attention of the staff of the COM
mission. The report merely tried
to tell the public of the develop
ments so that it would know wnat
it was buying.
One Problem Nearer Solution.
Further development which has
come to the attention of the COM
mission since the preliminary re-
port is that the matter of distri-
button Of programs is nearer solu-
ton. The first belief Was that it
would have to be distributed by
chains over the expensive coaxial
cable, but now it is believed the
point has been reached where the
programs may be chained by the
radio relay; that is the signals in
stead Of being piped by telephone
lines as the sound programs are
now, they will be broadcast and
chain station would pick Up the
signals on a receiver and rebroad-
cast them
A committee Of the Radio Manu-
facturers' Association is TO meet
in New York this week TO study

Problem
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.

Television has reached a crucial
state In its history, according to in
formation reaching the Federal

mental development, it is asserted,
has reached the point where If it
does not have a substantial boost
In the way Of ofdcial and CONNER
cial encouragement, 1t will possibly
die an unnatural death.
Many millions of dollars have
been spent by the laboratories and
manufacturing companies interested
In radio development in bringing the
art to its present state. During the
past year it was said that more than
half a million dollars has been used
In further experimentation, and un-
less the industry can receive some
encouragement from the govern
mental agency the laboratories are
about ready to stop. They can't
stand the pace of continually put
ting out money, with no oppor-
tunity to cash in to any extent.
While the regulatory body is not
disposed to throw any obstacles
into the efforts of the developers
to obtain some return on the re-
suits SO far, 1t is giving very serious
study to the problem in an effort
to find way that the project can
be encouraged, at the same time
