RADIO AIDED
BYCOOUDGE
Greatest Progress Is Made
During Administration
Records Show
The American people have be
come radio conscious in the real
sense during the administration of
IjfWrin Coolidge as president. Radio
i i.as In it sinfancy when he as
Hpumed office. Due to the personal
interest and official support given
to this latest of scientific marvels
by Mr. Coolidge, radio and its by
product, broadcasting, have reached
unexpected degrees of popularity.
This is true of it as a business, and
of its use for educational, enter
tainment and religious purposes.
"It may properly be said that the
advance in broadcasting to the ef
ficiency it has attained has paral
leled the advance which Mr. Cool
ldge, as an executive, has made into
the confidence of the American
people,” said J. E. Smith, president
of the National Radio Institute,
.Washing ten.
“Therefore radio broadcasting is
certain to be indelibly associated in
the public mind now and in the fu
ture with the administration of the
man who is soon to leave his high
office,” added Mr. Smith He con
tinued: “When Mr. Coolidge took
office, radio was discussed and used
but casually. Today, it is familiar
to all men and radio sets are to be
found in probably 50 per cent of
American homes.”
• President Harding's inaugural
speech was carried well over the
capitol grounds by means of mag
nifiers but no further. Mr. Coolidge
was the first president to deliver an
iriaugural address directly to the
listening millions all over the coun
try. Blnce then he has been a reg
ular and interested user of the
mike." He has participated per
sonally In many of the epoch-mak
ing occasions on which some new
achievement of radio has been sig
nalized.
That much of the success which
President Coolidge achieved in his
campaigns for economy in the gov
ernment budget, and Ills sugges
tions of economy as an individual
"**08 .has been due to the mi
, . J»ne. hardly will be denied.
I About the time he became pres
ent," continued Mr. Smith, "prog
•• was beginning to be marked in
the development of vacuum tubes,
and short wave lenghts were first
being used to advantage. Witness
their achievements as he prepares
to leave office. During his aamin
lstratlon broadcasting concert i; were
first heard by members of the Mc
Millan expedition in the Polar re
gions. Britain heard programs
broadcast by us, and we first heard
Britain.
Mr. Coolidge had been president
lnore than three years before Trans
Atlantic Radiophone service was
opened to the public. The Federal
Radio commission, evn now trying
to find Itself due to its newness,
was not authorized under an act
•hproved by him until February 23.
1927. In fact, chain broadcasting
was not successfully realized until
he had been in office about five I
years, a remarkable hook-up of 106
stations in the United States having
PS?? •Jicnged on one occasion in
1923. This hook-up called for ap
proximately 25.000 miles of tele
phone and 48,000 miles of tele
graph circuits in securing program
coordination and auxiliary com-1
f municat ion.
Mr. Hoover, while secretary of
commerce under Mr. Coolidge, prov
ed his friendship for radio. His
accomplishments in connection with
the proper use and control of it in
the Interest of the public means that
the radio era which became such a
reality under President Coolidge
Will continue under Mr. Hoover
when he assumes office.

NEW YORK. Feb. 28.—(JP>—Prox
ies representing more than 57 per
cer.t of the stock of the Standard
Oil company of Indiana were claim
ed today by the committee headed
by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. This
percentage. It was announced, rep
resents 18,000 of the 58,000 stock
holders.
The committee, which is seeking
to prevent the re-election of Col
onel Robert W. Stewart to the
chairmanship of the company,
charged that many of the 18,000
employe stockholders desired to
give their proxies to the Rockefel*
ler faction but were afraid of los
ing their jobs if they did so. .
“We feel very strongly that every
employe stockholder - should enjoy
the right that every other stock
holder enjoys, to vote as he
pleases, said the statement. “Other
wise the support of employe stock
holders loses its significance.”
