! N ' " RADIO SELECTION . OFFERS PROBLEM Successor to Bullard Looms as Real Issue for Presi- dent to Decide. ‘The late Admiral William H. G. Bul- fard’s succession, now leaving the ¥ed- eral Radio Commission shorn of most ®f its technical genius, presents a Pperplexing problem for President Cool- #dge. First, he must appoint a suc- ®essor {0 the commissionership of the wecond radio zone. Secondly, he must ‘@etermine whether it is within his province to name the new chairman or whether the commission itself should choose its chairman. ‘With death _having called both Commissioners Bullard and Dillon in & fleeting interval, it is regarded here as virtually a certainty that a techni- €al man drawn from the wireless field will be chosen for the vacant post. As the commission is now constituted, its only engineering mind is Commission- er O. H. Caldwell of New York, a grad- uate electrical engineer, who has been fMentified, however, chiefly with the radio retailing trade in trade edito- rial capacity. No Inkliing of possible_selections is forthcoming, and it is believed that few cholces are vet in President Cool- fdge’s mind. That an engineer would Be most desirable—and preferably a radio engineer and a man of rank, Prestige and independence, is patent. Admiral Bullard, former chief of naval eommunications of the United States Navy, identified with wireless for more than a score of years, was an fdeal man for the task to which he was called last Spring from radio con- sultant work in the Far East. Judge Stephen B. Davis, former solicitor of the Department of Com- tmerce, vice chairman of the American delegation to the recent International Radiotelegraph _Conference and an suthority on - ‘io, has been mention- ed. But Juuge Davis is from New Mexico, which is not in the second wone: moreover, he is engaged in lu- erative private enterprise in New York which he has said he cannot afford to forsake as yet. Frank D. Scott, former member of Congress from Michigan and now at- torney for the National Association of Broadcasters, who helped frame the radio act of 1927 in Congress last ses- #ion, is from the proper zone and a Republican of high standing. But he also has said he is glad to be out of public life in order to repair his private fortunes. He is not a tech- nical man, but he knows radio inti- mately from the angle demanding most of the attention of the Federal Radio Commission and he might pos- sibly be induced to accept an appoint- ment. The second radio zone, from which the new commissioner must be selected, includes the States of Penn- sylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, ©Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. The chairmanship problem is com- plicated by the fact that the law does not stipulate that the President should any but the first chairman of the commission. Judge Eugene O. Bykes of Jackson, Mise., a Democrat, Is acting chairman and the undoubted choice of his colleagues for the per- manent post, if the thojce is left to them. But a Republican administra- tion is hardly likely to be willing to Jeave the chairmanship of so impor- a body as the Federal Radio ;..l?miulon in the hands of a Demo- A variety of musical features, orig- fnating both in New York and.
