An indication of how State regula- Hon and_censorship some day may face a showdown with the Federal ontrol authority is given in a radio bill that has been proposed in the New York Assembly. It would require a State “certificate necessity and convenience” for privately owned broadcasting stations. it also would levy a State license fee | on stations, desfgnate the wave engths they might use, regulate their service charges and effect other methods of State control. nsing and wave length as- signments are part of the Federal| anction prescribed in the new radic bill before though the rat t0 be chary mmercial stations do not come within the scope of the radio commission.

Will State radio commis- fons have to be organized, like State iroad commissions, to protect the State interests as distinguished from ihe Federal interest protected by the newly established Federal Radio Com- mission? Limitless conjecture is prompted by the possibilities of a necessary division or alignment of power over raflio as between the State and Federal gov- ernments. Sooner or later, it 1s to be expected, a showdown on this general proposition and on its ramifications may come in the courts as well as in the legislative chambers of both the State and Natlon, There is so much talk of radio vision and its future these days that even ics are beginning to view with alarm the day when “an all-seeing radio eye” may pry into our private If the present limitations of the system are overcome, 8o that any one who seeks to look through the ether could do so without co-operation at the other end of the wireless eir- cuit, it would be disconcerting indeed, Some of us might be called into court for making wine, failing to report the correct income, etc., but as it takes some one,to send radio pictures be- fore they can be received, ahd slhce the radio recelyers canhot detect what is not sent, we are probably safe for ® few years. WRC will draw ohly one of its ut- tractions tonight from WEAF, in New York—the wWeekly program of the Anglo Persians. To. those who have traveled abroady and there are hundreds in every radio audience, the concerts of the Anglo Persians bring many memories. The program to- night will begin with “In the Sudan,” h Dervish chorus Suggestive of Arab warriors, sheiks and blistering desert sands. Wagner's “Song of the Eve- ning Star,” the third selection in the series, will take the listeners to Ger- many. From there, in faney, the radio audience will flit to ussia and Journey down the great waterway to the strains of the “‘Song of the Volga Boatmen," e e Musical features of local origin which WRC will broadcast, include the weekly concert of the Lord Cal- vert Ensemble, a program by the Honolulans and concerts by .the Hamilton and Burlington orchestras. George E. Anderson, tenor, will ap- pear as soloist with the latter. Weak signals, fading and _just enough static to create a dlsturbing element in the ether characterized radio reception last night. The wave lengths were crowded, as usual, with eignals galore, but only in rare in- stances could they be brought in with sufficient volume and clarity for good reception. And then, very often, fad- ing would tend to mar the programs. Despite _these conditions, CNRO, Ottawa; WCCO, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and a few of the New York and Chicago stations were heard with some degree of satisfaction. WIOD, Miami Beach, Fla., also was tunable.

Communications between the radio amateurs of America and those In other countries are one of the greatest influences for the peace of the world, A. A.
