Against the assertion of Senator Dill that the payment of patent royalties dent radio manufacturers to 0 Corporation of America un- license agreements constitutes “robbery” of the radio-buying public, who must ultimately bear the charges, stands the statement now repeated by Albert G. Davis, vice president of the General Electric_Co. and one of the founders of the R. C. A, to the effect that radio prices are declining in a highly competitive market. Among the of the R. C.

By the Associated Press. The Nation-old question of State rights has interwoven itself into one of the newest problems confronting Con- gress—the control of radio broadcasting. By a coincldence, this issue today held a place on the House legislative program second to the “lame duck” constitu- tional amendment, a subject that also sent the attention of members back over the pages of history to discern the in- tent of the Nation's founders. The radio controversy hinges on an amendment to allocate broadcasting wave lengths, stations and power to States on the basis of population. It is attached to the Senate bill to extend for one year the life of the Federal Radio Commission. . Inasmuch as the commission's life expires in just one week, little time re- mains tor deliberation. ‘The amendment, sponsored by Repre- sentative Davis, Tennessee, recently was approved by a 12-to-5 vote by the House merchant marine committee, on which he is the ranking Democratic member. The proposal, if approved, is expected to give more radio stations to the Southern States and diminish the num- ber now existing in Northern and Western areas. Supporters of the ameridment, many of whom have refreshed their minds on the Nation's early history during the consideration the the constitutional amendment to abolish the short sessions of Congress, have dwelt at length upon what they contend was the intent of the Constitution’s framers to protect the rights of all the States, especially the smaller. In addition to the Davis proposal, the House also must pass upon another amendment approved by its committee which would place a three-month limit on the validity of broadcasting licenses and a six-month limit upon all other radio licenses. The Senate proposed six months and a year, respectively. This amendment, however, has not precipi- tated a fight like that on the former.
