TOURIST CAMP HERE WILL REMAIN OPEN Order Abolishing Anugemcntl at, - Potomac Park Rescinded After Protest. CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS WIN Fight for Present Liocation Based Partly on Advertising Value. A decision to retaln the tourists’ camp in Potomac Park was made Yesterday by Secretary of War Weeks. following a conference with members of Washington's clvic organizations, Who appeared before him protesting against ths order closing the camp The committee, in calling upon the Secretary, pointed out that the camp, in its present location, has served admirably to advertise the beautles of Washington throughout the coun- try. The order closing the camp, it ‘was said, has caused alarm, inasmuch as no other site has been selected. Secretary Weeks agreed that Wash- ington should have some rt of a camp site for the rapidly growing numbers of tourists lnd rescinded the closing order until another site could be located. Those who attended the conference included E. F. Colladay, president of the Washington Board of Trad: Seller, manager of the touring bu- Teau of the American Automobile Association; E. M. Loomis of the Ni tional (.ran‘e, G. h man of the and reservations Committee of the Board of Trade, and Arthur Carr, secretary of the board.

With the general trend of.thaught among radio enthusiasts leaning 1o: ward the question, “Who will pay for broadcasting’ the remarks of David Sarnoff, vice president and gen eral manager of the Radio Corpora- of America, are especially timely. It has been said by a great many people and a great many corpora- tions, some very large and ablec: said Sarnoff, “that broadcasting depends upon a solution of the problem wher by the consumer will pay for the en- tertainment which he receives. In other words, it has been ‘asid that unless som Is Drovlded whereby a melnl is created for col- lecting revenue from the user of a broadcast Instrument, that the whole industry is founded on sand, and that it is bound to collapse in time, be- cause there will be no means of sup- porting it.” “It I8 my firm conviction that that sort of solution to the problem 1l not necessary, that broadcasting be made commercially practicable wit out any means being found for' col- | lecting from the consumer, that the greatest advantage of broadcasting lies In {ts universality, free enter- tainment, culture, instruction and all the items which constitute a program, in doing that which no otifer agency has Yet been able to do. with |n{ell|¥ence and t hnlwe broadness of spirit and vision as to the future, to preserve that most delightful element in the whole sit- uation—the freedom of radio.” “Just so soon as we destroy that freedom and universality of radio and confine it to only those who pay for it—those who pay for the service. in other words—jusi 80 soon as we make of broadcasting ‘marrowcasting,’ we destroy the fundamental of the whole situation. ~And, therefore, I believe very definitely that broadcasting constituted today is commercially sound, and that it will remain so in the future, although there may be selective methods. aind narrowcast These may- supplement the situation There may be wired-wireless and the like. All of these will make their contributions. But fundamentally there will remain, and there must re- main and be preserved that element of the broadc: situation which it possible for grand opera to €0 to the slums and to the districts of the poor as well as the rich, ever: where “in: the world, without any The real picturs of a $15 or a $25 set in the home of the slum: If _you please, receiving the mag- nificent things in the air 1s the pic- ture we must preserve.” Radlo Bill Ready. Th will bn no general radio con- fer: in hington in. the near fatate. decret ry Hoover annaunced yesterday. The Commerce Depart- ment is rapidly completing the de- talls of a tentative regulatory radio bill, based on the old White bill, he explained.. He belleves that this'ean best be done by government ofclals without further conference.. Practi- cally all the suggestions offered by representatives in the séveral lines of radio work presented at last year's conference will be incorporated, the Secretary mdlcnod pointing out that conditions have not changed ma- terially since last year, except that the number of transmitting stations have increased. When it is attempted to draw up legislative recommendations or bills with a large body of diversifi terests it usually takes sev months.

Governe ment regulations’ should, It is be- lleved, give the Department power to prevent such interference.
