CONGRESS AWAITS RADIO AGREEMENT Bill in Conference Between Two Houses—Commission ' Expires Tonight. Senate disagreement with the House | equalization amendment to the radio | bill has thrown the matter inta a con- | ference between special committees of the two houses of Congress. Out of the conference may emerge an agree- | ment upon which a final vote will be | taken -and_which will be submitted to President Coolidge for approval. Mean- | while, the Federal Radio Commission after midnight tonight is merely an| appellate board. although the radio bill provides for extension of its administra- tive functions for another year. Until the legislation comes out of | conference, the “czar” of the radio| Tealm under the 1927 law still in effect is W. D. Terrell. chief of the radio division of the Department of Com- | merce. It is hardly likely, however, that he will exercise his authority to| reign, for Secretary Hoover will, no doubt, automatically refer the whole Tadio problem to the Federal Radio Commission as a theoretical appeal. This is the logical temporary ex-| pediency. for Mr. Hoover plainly does not want to take hold of the radio problem at this juncture. If the con- | ferences in Congress drag on, however, Supervisor Terrell will have the radio task forced upon him, for all existing | licenses expire April 1. | | Method Is Scored. The Senate’s disagreement to the | equalization amendment does not mean | 1t has voted down the proposition over- | whelmingly passed by the House to allo- | cate equal stations, wave lengths and powers to each of the five radio zones. Senator Dill, father of the radio act of Jast year, obtained a technical disagree- ment in order to throw the matter into conference. He said he regards the “rpose of the House as praiseworthy, t he does not regard the method as practicable. Senator Dill said he believes some Teason exists to correct the present situaticn, but that the House measure needs modification. Upon Commis- | sioner Caldwell of New York he lays the blame for the high powers granted a few stations, and against Mr. Cald- ‘well's confirmation he proposes to wage | a fight when it comes up for final con- | sideration soon. That Southern Senators want the bill in the House form was indicated by statements to that effect by Senators Broussard, Louisiana; McKellar, Ten- nessee, and Mayfield, Texas. If the House stands pat for its original amendment, it may force the amend- ment to an open vote in the Senate. There. a stiff fight may be expected in view of the danger the measure entails of summarily closing down many sta- tions and reducing -power of some of the leading stations. Intent Disregarded. Senator Dill declared the amendment ‘was the result of the commission’s dis- regard of the equitable service provision of the present law, particularly as to Zone powers. “That intent.” said he in the Senate, “has been disregarded by the commission. But I believe we can reach the desired result without & provision that will necessitate the closing of many stations or will neces- sitate shutting down stations with high power that ought not to be out of com- mission at this time. I do not think the present language is workable or will bring about the result the House wants. I believe that a conference can agree on language satisfactory to both House and Senate.” RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS ‘TONIGHT. 8:00—Dodge Presentation; Radio WTAM, WWJ, WSAL WHAS, WSM, WMC, WSB, WET. 8:00—Retold Tal ‘Ransom of Mack"—WJZ, WHAM, KDKA, WJR, KYW. 8:30—Hoover Sentinels; Broad- way Composers — WEAP, WEEL WFI, WRC, WGY, WCAE, WTAM, WWJ, WSAL, WEBH, WHAS, WBM, WMC, WEB. 8°30—Ampico if Hour; J.
