- RADOCOMNISSON TOACTTOMORRON i Three Members Expected to ‘Organize—Bullard Due Here in April.~ The naming by President Coolidge M‘Ad.m(rnl H. G. Bullard, re- as chairman of the newly creat- Federal Radio Commission has paved the way for the formal organi- zation of that body, which is expect- ed to get under way tomorrow. Although Admiral Bullard is in China and is not expected to return before April 15, three other members of the commission will come to Wash- ingon tomorrow . and probably will undertake to organize the commission. Becretary of Commerce Hoover invited the commissioners to get together in ‘Washington, and it is_his intention, i the commissioners desire, to lend and other aid from his depart- ment to the commission. Statement of Hoover. Becretary Hoover, like Senator Dill, ®ees the whole subcurrent of the fight over radio legisiation these last two years as. having .been designed to prevent radio listeners from being dominated by politics or selfish inter- ests in control of broadcasting. The department has always stood for an independent, non-political commission, chosen from different sections of the country, whose decisions would be in the public interest and from whose islons appeals might be taken to the courts, said Secretary Hoover in & statement just issued, At the same time it is believed the large adminis trative job of putting into effect the commission’s decisions should be left to one of the existing administrative departments, and .its own radio divi- sion seemed best equipped for the Secretary Hoover himself believes the large discretionary or semi-judi- clal authority is safe in the hands of the commission; that it will maintain & full representation of local stations distributed throughout the whole country, in order that radio will be a distributor of local as well as na- tional talent, and that the commis- sion will follow the policy that multi- plieity of stations is the only guar- antee of freedom from control and freedom of expression. “No Political Activities.” “The President,” sald Secretary Hoover, “has appointed five abso- lutely independent men, having no mnm activities, representing the lerent sections of the country, each of whom contributes essential, expert skill and experience to the work of the commission. I am confident that this commission will act at once in the interest of the listeners to ener- getically clear up the chaos of howls arise through interferences of stations and is the result of the long delay in securing this legislation. As the decisloms of who shall use wave lengths must be based on public in- terest, I have no fear that those many radio stations which have developed high skill and sense of service to their listeners will be fully protected. “The failure of the deficiency bill in the Senate deprives the commission of funds with which to either pay its salaries or other expenses of the com- mission. It has been_suggested that As the law provides thait the Secretary of Commerce shall exercise the powers of the commission in its absence, the commission should, owing to this lack of funds, merely assemble and . As this would defeat the pur- pose we have all sought, I am inviting the members of the commission to as- semble in Washington, and if the com- mission desires, :the' Department of will cooperate to ghe best of its ability in finding some way of Ing it to function through the loan of clerical staff and otherwise.” It is a wise man who knows when to throw away his worn-out “B"” bat- teries. But there is considerable doubt in the minds of many as to when a is worn out. It often is felt that if the batteries are low and the usual number of sta- tions are not coming in, there is noth- ing in particular to worry about, since DX merely is being sacrificed in re- turn for saving a little money on cur- rent. But that is not the whole story. Remember that when a battery is pretty well run down it will distort those signals which the set does get. Such distortion is not always so no- ticeable to the radioist himself, since it comes on gradually. ‘To the outsider, accustomed to the reception offered by a set fully pow- ered, the output of an underpowered set indeed is sad. A good rule is that no “B" battery should be kept in serv- {ce after it has given up two-thirds of its power. ‘The weekly Eveready hour, with Irvin Cobb, the humorist, as master of ceremonies, is one of the big fea- tures scheduled tonight by WRC. The program, it ie announced, will have a distinctly Southern flavor, and Mr. Cobb was chosen to be the particular personality because of his far-famed stories about the old and the new South. ‘The musical portion of the program ' ‘will be varied. It will include several negro spirituals and vocal and instru- mental numbers of the lightest, live- Her music. Virginia Rea, mezzo-so- prano, and the Eveready Revelers will be heard in the vocal numbers, while the Eveready Orchestra will pro- vide the straight orchestral numbers. “Hello Everybody” ROXY THEATER New York The Cathedral of the Motion Picture ' ROXY was on the air ' last night—the great theater opens Friday 8%—10% Conservatively estimated returns om Class A Stock Use Foresight Invest Now Bennett, Bolster & Coghill Incorporated " _Washington Office 824 Investment Bldg.

Mrs. Grace ‘Thompson Seton is the author of the lyrics. Cables have been sent to Lady Jule Layton of Melbourne, Australia; Gen. and Lady Booth Gordon of Sicily, and Dr. Lorentz of Vienna, inviting them to listen in on the program. RADIO SLUMPS IN JUNE. October is the most productive month in radio sales and June is the lowest, according to a chart compiled by the National Electric Manufactur- ers. The sale of accessories such as batteries, loudspeakers and current supply devices reaches a peak in No- vember and begins to drop off until the low point is reached in June. The manufacturers point out that better radio business is expected this summer because of the prospective regulation of broadcasting by the newly created Federal commission, which will minimize interference and restore law and order in the ether. “P’ve Got the Girl” and “Dreams” Are Radio Contest Hints “p ¢t the Girl” and “Drle::hs"azere ‘:o of the selec- y an orchestra numbers were broadcast be- tween 7:48 and 7:55 o'clock.
