Control of Air Ranks With
Prohibition and Other
Problems.
Times Washington Bureau,
135 2 New York Avenue
WASHINGTON, April 15.—Radio
has entered the political arena, to
take its place with prohibition and
other problems on which there is no
unanimity of opinion.
The growing importance of radio
in the American social, political and
economic scheme of things was
clearly demonstrated at the radio
conference in a four-day session
here. The broadcasting, selfishness
of various interests appearing be
fore the conference and the determi
nation of various elements in the in
dustry to get what they want re
gardless of others, indicated what
may be expected in the future.
If the conference is to be regarded
as a criterion, radio still is in its in
fancy, but there were signs that
thousands of far-sighted grown-ups
regard it as a healthy youngster
with great promise for the future.
Monopoly Loomed
( There were many indications of in
tent of large broadcasters and
smaller ones, too, to acquire monop
oly In the air for their own benefit.
j,The theory of Congress that the "air
is free” was accepted by interests
represented at the conference as
Applying only to themselves.
I Congress passed a law regulating
two weeks before adjournment.
With the excepton of somo debate
in the Senate, the law produced no
'serious discussion. Some Senators
feared eventual monopoly in the air
'and sought to halt it, but they could
[not prevent passage of the law
which created a commission to re
store order in the air.
K This commission finally has got
down to its work. It began by call
ing for assistance from the entire
radio public, including engineers,
station owners and listeners. But
when the hearing concluded the
commission realized that it faced a
task of unexpected magnitude.
Too Many Stations
li There are 733 stations now on the
air. Scientists are agreed that all
of these stations cannot be accommo
dated by the eighty-nine existing
wave lengths. The commission
thought it could accommodate every
body by increasing the wavebands,
by invading the channels heretofore
assigned to amateur and purely
scientific broadcasters, and also by
taking some of the channels used for
ships at sea. But the entire confer
ence agreed this should not be done.
This, therefore, brought the issue
right back to the starting point and
the buck was passed back to the
commission.
The fivS commissioners, who will
receive SIO,OOO for their first year’s
steady work and S3O a day there
after, are called upon to show the
wisdom of five Solomons, but with
this difference: Solomon did not
have a Congress to review his ac

Lobbyists Plentiful
Attending the conference were
lobbyists galore ahd lawyers, some
of whom crossed the continent to
speak for their broadcasting sta
tions. Most of the stations, includ

quired or are acquiring Washington
representatives. Many former mem
