38 COMMISSION NEEDS TECHNICAL STAFF Requirement Emphasized by Bellows at Senate Com- mittee Hearing. The crying need of a technical staff to work with the Federal Radio Com mission is making itself felt more and more. This need was emphasized by former Commissioner Bellows, testi fying last week before the Senate com- i into radio, and it has mittee inquiring into radio, an been brought to the forefront again 11 the consideration of a successor to the post of the late chairman of radio commission, Admiral Bullard. Although it is evident that a techni cal man like Admir rd s most e, it has been reliably repor a proffer of the chairman of the Federal Radio Commission P ade to Carmi Thompson of Ohie. | Tepresented President Coolidge Sion to the Philippines re He refused the appointment. it is said. primarily because he did ot choose to be led out of plitics and also because he is not an ¢ Place Still Open. place is still s commandant dered and may Jough his brothe: | k he would be loath | aval officers th t - ce before his retire to leave the servic RADIO'S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT. 7:00—Concert by United States Army Band, WRC R:m—Dodg.t_nrescnufion; PR WE S, WSM, WMC, ; A, WRBT, 'KVOO, WRHM, WGR, KSD. 8:30—Hoover Sentinels; Ir Berlin_ songs — WEAF, EI._ WFL WRC.

Their political complexion is another matter. The job <e, offers small fnducement. except to the man who is willing to devote himself at personal macrifice to the cause of radio.

If the commission is continued another year, as it seems probable it will, another $10.000 sal- ary will be paid each commissioner for the period until March 16, 1 Caldwell Only Engineer. At present only Commissioner Cald- well of the four members of the radio econtrol body is an engineer. Sam Pickard has managed and operated a radio station. Judge Sykes, acting chairman. was a practicing attorney in Mississippi. Commissioner Lafount is a business man. With synchronization of chain sta- tHons broadcasting the same program. one of the possible technical advances of radio in the near e, the need for radio engineering aid is evident Eynchronization is also adaptable to preclude interference between stations operating on the same wave length but transmitting different programs. Then there is the problem of the short waves, which iz essentially an engi neering one. Several Senators agreed with Mr Bellows last week that a technica] ic ing as an ap will receive o DESIGNS FOR TOMB COMPLETION ASKED U. S. to Establish Competition for Plans of Unknown’s Shrine at Arlington. Artists in the United States and in other parts of the world are to be in- vited by Maj. Gen. B. F. Cheatham, Quartermaster General of the Army, acting for the War Department, to submit designs in competition for the completion of the Tomb of the Un- known Soldier, on the marble terrace at the main entrance to the Memorial Amphitheater and Chapel in the Ar- lington National Cemetery. Authority for the completion of that Tomb, offi- cially described as “an unfinished block,” was given in a public resolu- tion of Congress approved July 3, 1926, and the War Department has esti- mated that $30,000 could be expended profitably in execution of the project. No funds were provided by Congress for the purpose, however, until just before the Christmas holidays, mhen the general deficiency bill for the current year was passed. In lieu of appropriating the total amount esti- mated as necessary for the work, the bill provided the sum of $2.500 “for every expenditure requisite for or in- cident to the work of securing pre- liminary designs for completing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as au- thorized by the public resolution ap- proved July 3, 192 The bill also authorized the Secretary of War “to do all the things necessary to accom- #taff would be highly desirable for the commission, and idea was ad- wanced that the v effers of engineering Austry fteelf might into the formation of an engineering 2 mission. plish this purpose, by contract or otherwise, with or without advertis- ous voluntary | ing, including payment for designs d from the in-| submitted under such conditions as he be consolidated | may prescribe.” The Secretary of War has placed the sory board to work with the com- | execution of the law in the hands of R Q.

Governed by the fact, however, that there is but $2,500 available for the of the preliminary de. signs for completing the Tomb, it hus by those in charge to pavment for the hest five designs sub- mitted. From these five the judges the one best adapted to the purpose and make an additional allowance of $3,/00 to the author of that particular design. If Congress subsequently makes pro- vision for the completion of the Tomb on the basis of the War Department estimate of $50,000, under the plans now under way, there would still he a balance of $44,000 available fo purchase of material and the construction work required for execution of the approved design. e i Weavers Talk Strike.
