COPYRIGHT MUSIC RADIO FEES LISTED gests What It Terms Fair Scale of Charges. A scale of fees ranging from seven tenths of a cent to 57 cents has been suggested to Congress as an accept able rate of payment to be made by the use of ion: broadeasting stations for copyrighted musical compa The rates are proposed by the Na tional Association of Broadcastersand sald to be based on estimates will copyright owners a profit. The schedule is merely suggestion, however, and a closer study of the rates may result in change. According to the schedule, the low- st rate of seventenths of a cent would be charged stations using five s of power. One-hundred-watt fons would be charged 2.3 cents: 0-watt stations ations, 8 cent ar that fair give a [ 3.000-wat Station: tt stations, 18 cent o 57 cents. se payments would permit a_sin broadeasting of any composition yrighted subsequent to enactment f the proposed legislation Officials of the Society of Com. pose Authors d Publishers, which opposes the suggested change in the copyright laws, declined to comment on the rate schedule, indl ting they will fight any form of Government price-fixing with regard to mu It w rate schedule recently was offered by lroadcasters to the soclety as the basis for contracts on cop muste. As applied to soclet ompositions, the rates were calcu- lated to provide the $1,000,000 which | is understood the soclety expects to derlve from broadcasting the next three years RADIO ACCLAIMED IN SOUTHEAST U. S. Majority of Residents Enthusiastic, Holding Broadcasting as Won- derful Aid Entertainer. The majority of the residents in the foutheastern part of the United States are enthusiastic over radio, ac- cording to W. E. Downey, supervisor of radio, who has just returned to Washington, after an inspection trip through several Southern States. Radlo broadcasting has been a won- derful thing for many Southerners particularly those living in small places where local entertainment is not avallable, Mr. Downey points out. He was particular, however, to ex- plain that the static is bad in the South, and believes that if similar conditions obtained farther north, 90 per cent of the fans would be con- stantly complaining, although it would do no good. Southern fans take it as a matter of course and do not com- plain much. In New Orleans, he sald, the statlc was terrific now; so bad In fact, that during his stay he did not hear a sin- gle outside station, although he de- voted a good part of two evenings to listening-in with the supervisor of the fitth district. The reception was better in Atlanta; Mr. Downey reports he succeeded in hearing WHO at Des Moings very clearly while at Jacksonville, Fla. Conditions were fair at Miama, he found, but due to the advent of the static season along the Guif inter- ference getting worse rapidly. In general the fans in the South rely upon their local or neighboring stations, which are the only reliabie ones, he Fortunately, South pretty well provided with ations now, especially in Florida, and in the neighborhood of New Or. ans, and in Texas. It is his bellef that the interest of the Jong-dista fans is dying out in this section, since o few distant stations can be heard KDKA is repored as the most re- ltable, although Chicago and Texas stations come in falrly well on good | nights.

Confusion Here Urgedin | Parliament. | While Congress is considering newl radio legislation, the question of re jorganizing the British broadcasting | monopoly Is before Parliament. A special broadcasting committee | has just recommended that a new commission succeed the present Brit- ish Broadcasting Company. Agreeing that broadcasting in Great | Britain should remain a monopoly t&| avoid the confusion resulting from | free and uncontrolled _transmission and reception in the United States, the committee urges state control. “T'he creation of a British broadcast- ing commission of between five and seven paid members of judgment and independence, to serve in the capacity of directors of a_public service is The members would be ap- pointed by the Crown for a perfod of five years. Such a commission would become effective on January 1, | deasting with the istance of the postmaster general 1 the matters of licensing receivers Blind per sons would be permitted to listen in | free. Broadeasting Called Necessity. ““Rroadcasting is not only an instl tution, but has become a necessity throughout the civilized world,” the report states, adding that it will be- come a “handmaiden rather than the usurping rival of literature and the arts. The British broadcast system which opened fts first station at London in November, 1922, now includes 10 main and 11 'rel stations and con. templates more high-powered stations, similar to that opened last July at Daventry. On January 81 there were 1,840,268 receiving licenses in effect, but the total number of listeners s estimated at two or three times that figure. Commenting on the new scheme, one British publication urges Parlia- | ment to ascertain whether or not the | listeners are satisfled with the present | system before making any radical | changes. In its report the committee states ! in part follows “The new commission would assume | control on January 1, 1927, license of the British Broadcasting Co. | expires. The motive for this recom. | mendation lies in the belief that a corporation for such public service should be publicly, rather than pri vately owned. Two Proposals Made. “Two proposals for the organiza- tion of the commission were made T'he first, its creation by act of Parlia- ment, which would specify its organ- ization and the manner of its opera- tion; the alternative, to create a cor poration under the companies acts, | with shareholders to be appointed by | the postmaster general. i “All property and operations of the | existing company would be transfer- red to the commission, arrangements | belng made to prevent any interrup- tion of broadcasting service by tak- | ing over the present operating staff. The commission would receive a 10 | year license similar to that now held by the British Broadcasting Co.” It was recommended that the pres ent listeners’ license fee of 10 shillings | per vear be continued under the direc tion of the postmaster general. The commission would be empower ed to operate present and future broadcasting stations in the United Kingdom, arrange programs in ac cordance’ with public demand and | handle other business necessary to improve broadcasting, excepting brond questions of policy, which would be decided by the postmaster general.

VATICAN AGAIN DEPLORES PERSECUTION IN MEXICO Organ Exhorts Faithtul to Pray to Our Lady of Guadaloupe That Repression Cease. By the Associated Press ROME, April 10.—The Osservatore Romano, organ of the Vatican, pub- lishes an exhortation to the faithful, in following out the wishes of Pope Pius for prayers for the cessation of persecution of Catholics in Mexico, to pray especially to Our Lady of Guada- loupe, the manifestation of the Vir- gin most venerated in Mexico. The Vatican organ enumerates the shrines and churches dedicated to Mary In Mexico and recalls that Pope Pius IX proclaimed Our Lady of Guadaloupe the patron saint of all of | Latin America. Prayers for the cessation of the repressive measures in Mexico have been offered In all the churches of Rome, some of which were crowded. At St. John Lateran, dinal Pom- pilj, vicar general to his holiness, himself imparted the eucharistic bene. diction, while in St. Mary Major, the nonagenarian, Cardinal Vannutelli, Sacred College, imparted the same benediction.
