Any fear harbored by the public that the purpose of the radio receiving set count being taken as a part of the census is to tax owners of sets, as is done in practically all other countries. Is allayed by Federal officials here. It is emphatically stated that the reason for including the solitary ques tion: “Have you a radio?” in the questionnaire is to get information on the distribution of sets over the country to aid the Federal radio authorities in justly allocating facilities to serve the maximum number of listeners. More over, it will provide an index of the American standard of living, it is said. Census enumerators, who only this month began their Nation-wide nose count, have reported difficulty in get ting this question answered. There seems to be prevalent the view that a tax will be levied to defray the costs of administering radio, or perhaps to charge for programs. Secretary of Commerce Lamont, Chairman Charles McK. Saltzman of the radio commission, and Senator Dill of Washington, sponsor of radio legis lation, unite in denial of this wide spread rumor. They say it is totally unfounded, and declare the count will benefit listeners, through improved and more equitable distribution of radio stations and power so that areas with the greatest “radio population” will be accorded facilities commensurate with their requirements. Besides the tax trouble, considerable controversy has been provoked as to why the radio question was favored by inclusion in the questionnaire, and all other industries and products disre garded. Manufacturers of 40 different articles tried to get similar treatment to ascertain how extensively their pro ducts were used, but without avail. As a matter of fact, the radio question was ruled out by Congress, but put back in by the Census Bureau when the questionnaires were drafted. That the radio industry will be benefited greatly is evident. There will be available precise information on the number of sets in use, and their dis tribuatlon by regions. The-only figures now available are in the nature of esti mates which are little short of guess work. Latest estimates place the num ber of receiving sets at some 45,000,000. The Radio Manufacturers’ Associa tion, of course, has indorsed the pro ject from the start. It wanted two ques tions asked, however. To supplement the set inquiry, the association sug gested that it be learned whether the set, if any, was a tube or a crystal re ceiver. In that way it would be ascer tained whether the set was obsolete or modem But these commercial benefits, Secre tary Lamont and Senator Dill asser>. are purely incidental to the main ob jectives. The radio commission has no precise information as to “radio popula tion" and consequently cannot ac curately gauge the listener coverage oi stations. "The data obtained by the census or radio will be of greatest possible bene fit to the commission in allocating broadcasting facilities,” Chairman Saltz man said. “We will have a yardstick by which to measure the radio audiences in every locality and will be enabled to allocate wave lengths and power ac cordingly, within the limitations of the law.” Concurring in this view. Senator Dill aaid complete and reliable statistics will be extremely valuable as an aid to a just allocation of radio facilities. "Radio is a rapidly growing industry in which is involved a distinct public Interest and very important public rights,” he added. “There are. as •very one knows, only a limited number of channels for broadcasting. If the census figures disclose that a given district has only a few radio receiving sets and that in that locality there is no general interest in radio, then there would be no reason why radio facilities should be allocated to that district at the expense of some other where there was a very lively interest in radio and a large number of re ceiving sets.” Today on the Radio (An time p.m., unless otherwise indicated.)
