Klugh, executive chairman of the National Association of Broadcaster who has been in Washington, following every develop- ment in the legislative situation. “Not only must these commissioners straighten out an industrial tangle such us has never been seen before, but they must be prepared to keep pace with the fastest-moving industry civilization has yet experienced. They must not hamper this industry, but they must, since public opinion is the foundation upon which it rests, guide it with firm and unafraid hands. “Tt 18 to be hoped that the selection of these commissioners will be marked by the same sincere and patient study, with fixed purpose to protect the pub- lic interest, that has been displayed by the four able legislators who bave been most prominent in effecting this legislation.

The at- mospherics were mild early in the evening, but increased in frequency and volume as the hours passed, and eround midnight it was exceedingly difficult to tune in many of the stations which were still active. Amid the din, however, brief por tions of the program at the Davenport Advertigers' Club entertainment were heard through WOC. WEBH also was heard to announce the radio show of the Chicago Broadcast Assoctation scheduled for Monday might.
