CORNERS AND CANYONS
BY Frank Edwards Henckel

NEW YORK-Two opinions pre-
vail on government control of radio.
l have a letter this week from an
executive of one of the smaller sta
tons in this district, in which he
says
"The federal government has
horned in too many things already.
If we get law to give some Wash
ington bureau complete control Of
radio programs, it will be goodbye
liberty. Pretty soon the government
would be telling the newspapers
what to do, and what they couldn't
do; and 1t would be the shortest
imaginable step from that to con-
troll of the schools and the platform
and the pulpit, and everything. Let
radio alone and it will regulate it
self, in response to public demands. y
/ relayed this over to newspaper
friend, who came back promptly:
Radio can stand bit of regula-
ton such as it would never impose
on itself. The slush that comes over
the air every day and night and far
into the morning has become so
nauseating, much Of it, that thou
sands of people no longer listen in.
1t would be just as well to turn the
whole broadcasting business over to
the government and do away with
the shaving cream and patent medi-
cine and alcoholic drink ads inter-
spersed with a smatter of news and
hot music, and have the programs
provided at public expense, the
same as in England. We could not,
of course, have as many op-priced
artists and artistes saving and gar
Cling over the air, but we should
probably have saner programs, and
commercialism would be out COM
pletely. The danger would be that
the air-lanes could be used for adj
ministration publicity of a political
sort. But that would be bridge
to be crossed when we got to it-or
properly dynamited out of the pic
ture by popular protest"
So the views are widely diver
gent. It will probably be some far
day after tomorrow before we
adopt the British broadcasting plan.
In the meantime we shall all have
to continue getting up in the middle
of news broadcast to go out and
buy a package of razor blades and
some super-pepped vitamin biscuits

 The work of the guerrillas was not confined totally to kill ings and destruction. At least one band employed radio propaganda to sabotage Japanese efforts to gain complete control of the is- lands.
 For instance there was Juan de la Cruz, young Filipino whose ra- dio activities had the Japanese furious during the 21 months I spent in a Manila prison camp after Pearl Harbor. Juan de la Cruz is the Filipino equivalent of the American John Doe.

PLANE TALK
BY Rowland Burnstan

Men have been thinking about flying for many centuries. What is surprising is the fact that it took as long as it did for the simpler phases of flying (gliding) to be dis. covered. Powered flying, however, had to wait for the development of the internal combustion engine.
 American ingenuity is nowhere better revealed than in the field of aircraft engines, Probably the greatest stride in early design was made by Charles L. Lawrance. Starting with 3-cylinder aircooled radial engine, he perfected in 1923 a 9-cylinder model of 180 horse- power, which later became the ia. nous "Whirlwind." Later improved models of this engine were used in the planes which carried Lindberg, Byrd, Chamberlin and many oth- CTS on their history making flights.

of a Mississippi River pilot of the old days. Yet his language was on a par with, and at times even exceeded, the widest vocal flights of the river bosses. He cursed the Japanese, from the mightiest to the lowest, and their Quislings, in English, Spanish and his own Tagalog. He warned the Quislings that they would be ta- ken care of when American forces returned to the islands. He named some who later were killed or wounded by guerrillas. He gave away Japanese military secrets.
 Personally, I am convinced that our forces re-entering the Philip pines will find well-trained guer- rilla bands as well as the Fili- pino people generally welcoming them and fighting with them against the Japanese.
