e TWO N RADIO BODY 0 DEFEND SELVES Pickard and Caldwell to An- swer Charges Before Senate Committee. By the Amsociated Press. Two members of the Federal Radio Commission will defend themselves at a hearing of the Senate committee on interstate commerce January 6 against opponents seeking to prevent con- firmation of their appointment. Sam Pickard of Kansas and O. H. Caldwell of New York are preparing to answer charges that they are not qualified to serve. They have been acting on recess appointments. Some of the Democratic members of the committee oppose the confirma. tion of Mr. Pickard on two counts— that he has never voted as a Demo- crat and therefore is not a representa- tive of the minority party on the com- mission, and that he 1s not a legal resident of Kansas and consequently is unqualified to represent the Middle West in the regulation of broadcast. ing. Admitting that Mr. Pickard has never voted, his supporters here de- clare he was too busy fighting for his country {n the World War and in the development of radio since to take any part in political activities. He was selected as secretary of the commission last March, and this Fall ‘was appointed comm oner to suc- ceed H. A. Bellows. Opposition to Mr. Caldwell is based on a report that he formerly was con- nected with the Natienal Broadcast- ing Co. and the contention that he is too friendly to the interests of the big broadcasters. This charge, Mr. Cald- well declares, is without foundation. He says he is not now and never has been connected in any way with the National Broadcasting Co. or the Radio Corporation of America. Members of the Senate committee are planning to question the commis- sioners closely regarding their policy of station allocation. o Italy Facing Taxi Problem. ROME, Italy, December 31 (#).— ‘Whether there is to be a single type of taxi in all the cities and towns of Italy and whether there are to be equal rates in all cities are two of the several taxi problems facing the Fascist authorities. There are 14,000 taxis in all Italy at present of various makes and vintages, but the au- thorities envisage a large increase in the next few vears and propose to tackle the problem in its infancy. Horse-drawn vehicles are coming In for an investigation as to rules and regulations at the same time. T — LocalRadioEntertainment Monday, January 2, 1928.

By the Assoclated Press. Some chain stations may lose their places in the cleared channels between 600 and 1,000 kilocycles when the Fed- eral Radio Commission takes up the allocation problem after the holidays. O. H. Caldwell, acting chairman of | co; the commission in the absence of Judge Eugene Sykes, belleves favor- able consideration should be given ap- plications for preferred channels made by high-powered stations who provide original entertainment. Listeners in remote sections complain that when une In on several cleared waves h ecelv) {dentical programs. Mr. Caldwell is of the opinion that this situation must be remedied eventu- ally if the interests of the radlo audi- ence at large are to be served. Each of the stations which under the last allocation temporarily were glven cleared channels is one that has had an individual good record in its community for outstanding popular- ity, quality of program and apparatus, Mr. Caldwell says. Howev num- ber of these purchase outside pro- grams, and so during a number of hours each week identical programs are heard on several channels. The extent of this duplication should be investigated thoroughly by the com- mission that steps may be taken to give the public diversified entertain- ment, Mr. Caldwell declares. However, frequencies of powers of be made prior to February 1, in order to allow stations full trial of their present assignments. On January 15 the commission will announce a num- ber of station transfers, to become ef- fective February 1, for the purpose of improving reception conditions. No changes from the assignments as an- nounced January 15 will be made ex- cept as the result of public hearing Broadcasters affected by such trans- fers who desire public hearings will be heard either prior to February 1 no further changes in the tations will Woodward & Lothrop Down Stairs Store Selling—100 New Spring Tub Silk Dresses:| RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT.

NUMBERS DISAPPROVED FOR WAVE CHANNELS rrespondence of the Associated Press, NEW YORK.—Disapproval of the plan to number wave length channels has been expressed by the engineer- ing division of the Radlo Manufactur- ing Assoclation. It had been proposed that instead of designating each channel by wave length or kilocycle, it be given a num- ber, starting from 1 and continuing through the broadcast band. In advising the Federal Radio Com- mission that they were not ready to accept the proposal, the Radio Manu- facturing Assoclation engineers said that much confusion would result. It also was pointed out that dials of re- ceivers would have to be altered. “0ld Crocks” in Race. Better known as “Old Crocks,” auto- mobiles of another day were entered in a spirited race run between London and Brighton recently. Of 51 cars over 21 years old starting the event, 37 completed the journey within the time limit, and of these 21, including three more than 30 years of age, got through without a stop. A Panhard car of 1893 was steered to victory by its owner, John Bryce. Miss Mary Ml;u, in a 30-year-old Benz, was sec- ond. or, it time does not permit, immedi- ately afterward. A_supplementary list of transfers of Pacific Coast stations to improve conditions of local and national recep- tion will be announced February 15, to become effective March 1.

DOG RACING CLUB DENIED INJUNCTION Move to Bet in Havana on Miami Results Meets With Setback. 4 By the Associated Pres % MIAMI, Fla., January 2.—A petition for injunction to restrain State and county officers from {nterference in a proposed telegraphic wagering sys- tem to be operated between ghere and Havana, Cuba, on dog Yaces held in Miami, was denied the Bis- cayne Bay Kennel Club Saturday by_Federal Judge Henry D. Clayton. Judge Clayton refused to make public the full decision as to merits of the petition until tomorrow. The petition contended that the wagering plan would constitute inter- state commerce and therefore, county and State authorities had no yight to interfere, The plan set forth that money was to be telegraphed to Cuba, where the parl-mutuel system Is legal, to be bet on races on the Biscay~~ track. The racing meet I8 scheduled to open tomorrow. A similar petition of the South Miami Kennel Clup, which asked that it be allowed to ‘lease” dogs for wagering purpose. by telegraph to Havana, was not acted upon. Horse and dog racing both have been in ‘“for hard sledding” in Florida for the past year, many clubs having been forced to abandon their tracks because their operations were held to be in violation of the State laws against gambling. Japan’s Winter Severe. Japan, usually pictured as a land of orange blossoms, had Arctic weather recently. In the northern part of the country snow storms tied up trains. At the same time Niigata prefecture was struck by a cyclone, the greatest damage belng done in the district where a whirlwind blew a train off the track and leveled many bulldings last Spring. Akita perfecture had a savere blizzard, and wind and snow did heavy damage in other parts of the country.
