84 RADIO COMMISSION WORK NEARING END Control Will Pass to Depart- ment Unless Congress Acts Within Week. Less than one week will find radio in the hands of the Department of Commerce unless Congress enacts legis- lation extending the functions of the Federal Radio Commission. Although 1t failed to take action on the scheduled day, Thursday, the House stands in rospect of passing ils extension bill, and with the “equal distribution™ clause, which arbitrarily apportions an equal number of stations, wave lengths | and watts to each of the country’s five | gones, Tewritten to read “equitable dis- tribution,” according to rehable judg- ments expressed here. Therein will lie & vast difll‘lfncl‘. for radio will thus be removed from a legis- Jative rule defining its geographic imits without regara to technical facts. Most observers are agreed that “equita- ble distribution™ will serve as suflicient nstruction from Congress to the Fed- eral Radio Commission to equal bet- ter the broadcasting services now of fered to different parts of the count Moreover, 1t will not endanger the oper: ting conditions of many o1 the leawn stations of the country, which inevitably are clustered about the most populous sections of the country. But even with tae pa e of the House , which coincides wiih the Senate bill already passed in so 1ar as g the commission 10T one year is co ned, there is danger that’ the | legisiation will die before March 15, the date when the commission is scheduled t0 bacome an appellate body under the ©ld law. The Senate wants to terminate the tenure of each of the four commission- ers after the second year of thewr func- tionmg. To this the House will not ac- cede, and on tais point the bill may be ed when it gets to a confer- n Senaie and House.

Mr. Berliner had been obtaining a | copy of the birth records for some time for the purpose of mailing literature on child welfare to parents of infants, but this Ermlpge was denied recently by Health Officer Willlam C. Fowler. The corporation counsel said in his opinion that it is difficult to deny the use of birth records to Mr. Berliner, be- cause it may result in the destruction of the work in which he is interested, but that it is better to do so than to allow their indiscriminate use for any purpose. If Mr. Berliner 1s allowed ac- cess to the records, he explained, they also would be avallable to manufac- turers of all sorts of alleged baby foods. nostrums and theorists.
