34 PICKARD T0 PUSH RADIO FOR FARM New Member of Federal Council Is Well Suited to the Post. The problem of radio reception on the farm will receive renewed at- tention with the appointment of Sam Plckard, a Kansan, to succeed Henry A. Bellows as a member of the Fed- eral Radio Commission. President Coolidge has indicated that the !Sle('- tion of a successor to the late Com- missioner Dillon of California fs im- minent, so that the disturbed radio situation of the far Western States also will soon be in a fair way to solution. Financial reasons alone dictated the resignation of Mr. Bellows. who will return November 1 to Minne- apolis to resume directorship of S tion WCCO. It was comparatively easy to find a successor for his post as representative of the fourth radio zone in Mr. Pickard, who has been acting as secretary of the commis- sion since its inception and who knows the Middle Western radio_ sit- uation thoroughly. But it has been considerably more difficult to get a man to handle the task in the fifth zone, which embraces the States west of the Rockies. Work Is Satisfactory. President Coolidge made it plain that Mr. Bellows' work has been eminently satisfactory, and those who have watched the workings of the commission since it was created last March. attest to his industry, vigor and clear comprehension of the radio problem sectionally and in the whole Nation. But, Mr. Bellows, un- confirmed by the Senate because of the closing hour filibuster last session, has been unable to draw any part of his salary of $10,000 for the first year from the Government. That was his reason for resigning his post—that and the fact that the commission next March draws its sal- ary only on a per diem basis, which will hardly be sufficient for a man without independent means. It was fully anticipated that Mr. Bellows would be confirmed by the next Sen- ate, particularly in view of the splen- did record and reputation he has achieved since coming to Washington. His confirmation now will be a mat- ter of routine, enabling him to draw his salary for the eight months he has served on the commission. Herbert Hoover, a Californian, will be consulted in the selection of the representative of the West. Mr. Hoover has long been ‘interested in radio, and Col. Dillon was an ap- pointee from the ranks of his Depart- ment of Commerce. It has been in- dicated that probably a business man will- get the Western job instead of another technical man. The radio act directs that no member ‘of the com- mission may in any way be financially affiliated with the radio industry. Politics Scouted. That politics has played small part in the appointments has been indi- cated both by the original selections for the commission and by the fact that Mr. Pickard has been chosen. Mr, Pickard, who is in his early 30s, came to Washington several years ago to institute the farm radio service of the Department of Agriculture. He was brought from the Kansas State Agricuitural College by Secretary Jar- dine. He is experienced in the broad- casting fleld, having managed Station KASC. During the war he was an aviator, and was wounded in combat. Francis Wilson, the noted actor, will be the guest star in the Eveready hour, the salient feature of the pro- gram tonight of WRC. The chiet contribution of Mr. Wil son to this entertainment will be a repetition of an excerpt from “Rip Van Winkle” which he presented so successfully in an Eveready hour last Fall. In addition, he will enact & por- tion of his characterization of the equally redoubtable Bob Acres from Sheridan’s “The Rivals” and excerpts from his own play, “The Bachelor's Baby,” which ran for three years on the road. Aside from the Eveready hour, ‘WRC has scheduled a number of other outstanding attractions, which include the Sealy Air Weavers, the Radio Cav- alcade, Jimmie Rodgers, the popular Southern singer, and the National Players, who will give another of their series of *“Great Moments in His- tory” episodes. The historical inci- dent of this latter feature will be the ride of “Phil” Sheridan, as immortaliz- ed in the poem *“Winchester—Twenty Miles Away."” ‘The weekly radio movie club and an array of other attractions, including 12k, fmake up the program onight of , up the program tonight ‘WMAL. The movie club wllln(‘:!m the De Maroos’ String Orchestra and several vocal and instrumental artists. ‘The Villa Roma Club Entertainers, the Washington Male Quartet; Bell end Christie and Malton Boyce, con- cert planist, will provide some of the other attractions. The talks will be given by K. A. Clark of the University of Maryland extension service, and Capt. Harvey L. Miller, U. 8. M. C, editor of Our Navy Magazine. Vocal, orchestra and instrumental music, interspersed -with a talk, will be broadcast tonight by WTFF. The station will be on the air from 8 to about 10 o'clock. e el e, MAY TRACE HIS LOOT. Convicted Church Thief Expected to Disclose Hidden Cash. MONTREAL, Quebec, October 18. (P).—Ray Marsden, confessed incen- diary and church thief, now a prison- er in the Ohio Penitentiary in Colum- bus, may be brought back to Quebec to a. !st authorities in their search for $65,000 in money and church or- naments he claimed to have hidden in Lacolle. Police sald a check of Marsden's confession that he had robbed and set fire to a number of churches in Can- ada and the United States had con- firmed many of his statements. Authorities said yesterday that Ohlo officials were prepared to grant per- mission for Marsden's return. Mars- den, however, has demanded immun- fty from arrest while in Canada and it was expected that such a guarantee ‘will be requested from the minister of Justice. RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT.
