Committee 10 Study
New Radio | Laboratory
For Standards Bureau

Construction Of a s4,475, 900 ra-
dio laboratory building at the
Bureau OF Standards here is to
be considered at a meeting of the
Senate Commerce Committee
Wednesday.
The plan has the Endorsement
Of the Commerce Department
Federal Works Agency, Federal
Communications Commission and
National Military Establishment,
including it's Research and De-
velopment Board.
Senator Brewster, Republican
Of Maine. has scentered attention
on the whole plan by asking
whether this National Capital
project violated the national de-
fense concept that no major mill
tary establishment should be de-
veloped in an area of more than
$4,000 population.
Activities of the Central Radio
Propagation Laboratory now arc
scattered among four different
buildings at the Bureau of Stand
ards, with some functions car
ried on at three locations in Vir-
ginia and Maryland. A centraliza-
ton of these activities is con-
templated under the pending plan
sponsored by Chairman Johnson
of the Commerce Committee.
One Of the purposes of the
Central Radio Propagation Labo-
ratory setup in its present ''in-
adequate" building of 1918. is to
provide experimental and theoret-
ical work on radio standards
measurements and radio propaga-
tion.
Another announced purpose is
radio research and information
service to the public and to the
Government. including periodic
forecasts of conditions affecting
radio transmission and reception
Such information, advisors said
was of particular value to COM
mercia1 air lines and of vital
importance" to the armed forces
and to the development of de-
fenSe weapons.
