RADIO REGULATION UPT0 PRESIDENT Hoover May Co-operate in Finding Funds to Operate New Machinery. The machinery recently set up by Congress for regulating radio has been rendered practically useless through the failure of the Senate to| approve the appropriation of funds) for its operation and the pay of the commissioners. With the ‘adjourn- ment of Congress the deficiency bill 4 most unnatural death, and with it also passed the hopes of sev ral million people that radio broad-| would he put on a What can be done toward radio regulation without the necessary remains for the President to although probably the commis- may be willing to se ay for eight or nine month: funds for office s furniture, stenographers, clerk cxpenses are not available unle: Department of Commerce can its space and spare some of its hlm(ed The deficiency bill item of $115.000 for the| v and expenses of the TFederal 1dio Commission, an additional 0,000 for the radio section of the department, and the reallotment of § £100,000 for field work and inspection, not included in the current appropria- tions bills, because the department practically ceased policing the ether " on July 1. der the 1927 radio act the moneys appropriated to the Department of Commerce for radio administration formerly under the Bureau of gation are av: ble both for expendi- tures incurred in the administration of this new act and for the purposes specified. Some of this money might be allocated to the commission proper by Secretary Hoover if he could spare it without reducing his office and field force, but, as has been noted above, he is flllea(h' handicapped to the ex- tent of $100,000 under his usual radio operating expenses. Furthermore, the appropriation bill which carried the $220,000 available for the radio work of the department this year specifies that not more than $45,000 can be expended within the District of Co- lumhia, where it is all needed to meet the salaries and expenses of the pres- ent radio officials stationed in Wash- » ington. it is known that Secretary Hoover stands ready to co-operate as far as possible with the Federal commission, at least to the extent of offering it office space in the Commerce Build- ing, where it would have immediate contact with the present radio section, its files, data, maps and technical and personnel. He also may be able to lend the commissioners office furni- ture, but how he can find money with which they can meet personnel and other expenses is a problem only he and perhaps the President or the chief of the Budget Bureau can solve. To say the least, Hoover, the radio industry and the fans are exceedingly disappointed with the failure of Con- gress, after passing the radio act of 1927 |and consenting to three of the nominees for radio commissioners, to grant sufficient funds with which the |- act and administration under it could be carried out. The enactment of the Jaw won considerable praise from practically every one interested in radio; the approval of three,- a ma- Jority of the five commissioners, was considered as sufficient to permit the administration of the law, but the neg- ligence of the Sepate to provide funds seems most unfortunate if at all ex- cusable. Tello everbody!” ‘*Roxy's” fa- miliar greeting, will go out over the wave' lengths tonight as a prelude to the initial entertainment program by his reorganized “‘gang.” The program will be broadcast by WRC in conjunc- tion with the stations which make up ‘the “blue” network of the National Broadcasting Co. “Roxy,” president and general manager of the nearly completed Roxy Theater in New York, prom- ises a bigger and better radio per- formance than he has ever presented in the past. Work is being rushed on the special studios, located at the Roxy Theater, and they will be com- pleted in time for the initial broad- casting. These studios are said to be of the finest type built and tests have revealed that the acoustical conditions are ideal for broadcasting purposes, surpassing even the expec- tations of the architects. Those familiar with “Roxy’s” past | presentations will be glad to hear that among the old favorites to be found in the new gang are “Gamby” and “Doug” (Mlle. Maria Gambarelli, dancer and singer, and Douglas Stan- bury, baritone), known as the “sweet- hearts of the air”; Phil Ohman and Victor Arden, pianists; Adrian da Silva, tenor; Celia Branz, contralto; Geoffrey O'Hara, composer, author and singer; Dorothy Miller, soprano; Gladys Rice, coloratura soprano; Beatrice Belkin, soprano; Anna Rob- inson, soprano; Joseph Stopak. vio- linist; Jim Coombs, basso; Frank Moulan, comedian, and Florence Mul- holland, contralto. Recent additions to this gang include Mickey McKee, whistler; Margery Harcum, Hazel Glenn, “Bobby” Robinson and Rene Valeri. 3 Supporting these artists, ‘“Roxy” will use a mixed chorus of one hun- dred voices and a complete symphony orchestra of one hundred and ten in- strumentalists to be under the alter- nate guidance of four conductors: H. Maurice Jacquet, the noted French leader, Charles Trevin, Erno Rapee and Frederick Stahlberg. In these broadcast performances he will also use a special radio studio orchestra of sixty instruments. One of the largest organs in the world, now being com- pleted in the Roxy Theater, will be dedicatéd to the radio audience at this performance. The musical equipment which “Roxy” intends to use in his new serles of broadcasts is complete in every detail. On his staff he will have dance orchestras, string ensembles, auintets, quartets and trios and every type of speclalty orch ,» Such as marimba bands, balalaika orchestra and other groups of instrumental per: formers rarely heard by the listening audience, The remainder of WRC's program will be provided by Hire’s Harvesters, the A. & P. Gypsies, the WEAF Grand Opera Company and the Swanee Syn- copators. Radio reception over the week end was mediocre. Conditions, however, were far better Saturday night than last night when static disturbances and fading minimized the volume of | most of the stations that could be tuned.

By the Associated Press. | CONSTANTINOPLE, March 7.—| Zaro Agha, famed and stalwart old | man of Turkey, has despite his 153 | vears married for the eleventh time | in an eventful life, during which at | one time and another he has buried ten wives and 27 children. Although he has no birth certificate to establish the truth of his alleged age, the indomitable old man is pos- sessed of a keen memory which en- ables him to tell tales of events which occurred 143 yearsago. He can vivid- ly describe the coronation of Suitan Mahmoud II, who came to the throne in_1808. ! The pet of Turkey, he makes an an- nual visit te President Kemal, from whom he receives a hearty handshake and two or three hundred liras every year. The governor of Constantinople has given him a house, and last year the prefect made him municipal door- keeper for life, a job which furnishes him with a uniform and about $25 a month. He ks upright and without a cane, and boasts that he has never ridden in a troljey car or an auto- mobile. He had nev known a day of illness until three years ago, when a group of Ttalians took him to Italy 48 an exhibition. The change in climate affected his health. g Origin of Unlucky 13.
