86 EXPELTYEARS LFE FOR RADID BOARD Congress Indicates 1t Will Prolong Commission After March 15. Just one week was needed to show that radio and its regulation is a matter of considerable concern to Congress. And if the judgment of the radio leaders is to be accepted, the life of the Federal Radio Commission as an ad- ministrative body will be prolonged one year after March 15. During the initial attack of the ses- sion there developed a definite trend in favor of the commission’s temporary extension. This was sponsored by Rep- resentative White (Republican) of Maine, chairman of the merchant ma- rince committee, and Senator Dill (Democrat) of Washington, the former announcing his intention of introducing in the House & resolution to this end. Senator Dill has evinced his support, and now a movement is under way to sound out the sentiment of Congress as a whole on such a proposition. This development is significant, because the two legislators are co-authors of the radio act of 1927. Senator Dill belleves the Senate will Indorse such a measure. He holds th2 view that it will come to a vote in Janua; or two months before the commission would relinquish its admin- istrative authority to the Commerce De- partment under the present law. Ready for House, The resolution will be introduced in the House during the latter part of next week, Mr. White states. Hearings will be held before his committee and mem- I Today on THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, B..C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1928. the Radio B A — PROGRAM FOR TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1928 l (Meters on left of call letters, kilocycles on right.

JAsked whether action would be taken on the bill of Representative Huddle- sion (Democrat) of Alabama to classify broadcasting stations as a public utility, open to all the public, Mr. White said ‘he doubted whether any general legisla- ‘tion would be considered at the short session, but the hearings probably would «develop testimony along general lines. Creation, perhaps at the next ses- sion of Congress, of a communications rcommission to control telephones, tele- graphs and cables, as well as radio, is the objective of both Senator Dill and Mr. White. At present, Mr. White points out, the Interstate Commerce Commission has a definite jurlsdiction over telephones, telegraphs, cables and radio. The Siate Department has a measure of jurisdiction over cables, ‘while the Radlo Commission governs 0. . “It seems to me that we must ulti- ‘mately establish a communications service in which shall be centered the scattered and conflicting power and au- thority now exercised by these different governmental agencies over privately- owned facilities and upon which we must place responsibility, so far as the Government is responsible in the Ppreises,” he says. “I think a temporary radio commission can hereafter be abolished or merged more easily in e single unit of government which I ve in mind than a commission re- Barded as permanent.” Raps Huddleston Measure. 8133—Donald Brown, pianist. 9:00—"The Pretty Persian,” by United Light Opera Co., C.

Raycroft, vice ident in charge of ‘the radio di National Electrical {Manufacturers’ Association, says the does not take into considera- the interest or desire of the listen- public and “would enforce the utter truction of the artistic balance and e entertainment and educational Wervices of broadcasting.” Mr. Raycroft observes further: “While most such legislative efforts based more on the ambition to bask in the limelight of publicity rewarding 'all those who mud further with the harassed broadcasting station, rather than any genuine desire to protect the blic's interest, it must be pointed out ‘woul y the adoption of such a law. “There is no precedent for the classi- Sication of broadcasting as a utility gmerely because it has great public in- {fluence.

"TRADE MARK SOUGHT FOR INDIAN GOODS {istinctive Emblem to Establish Genuineness of Materials Is Aim of U. S. Superintendents of the various Indian Yeservations and licensed traders at the agencies will be requested by the Indian Office to contribute their ideas on the proposal of Secretary Roy O. West to have a distinctive trade mark designed 1o be used on goods made by the In- dians. Commissioner Charles H. Burke @ald yesterday he has in preparation a circular letter that will be sent out in a few days on the subject. Protection of the public and assur- ance that the Indians will get the mon- etary value of their workmanship are the objectives that Mr. Burke desires in ‘thaving a distinctive Indian trade mark, he explained. The genuineness of In- dian-made goods would be authenti- cated by a trade mark, Mr. Burke said, explaining that last year Indians earned tore than $1,267,000 through the sale of blankets, baskets, pottery, beads, woodcarving, embroidery and paintings. Indians of Arizona, Minnesota and New Mexico earned three-quarters of this sum, and tourists in incre; numbers “o:d. eager to purchase lan-made goods. Later, Mr. Burke indicated, if a dis- tinctive trade mark is adopted, legisla- tion may be necessary to authorize prosecution of infringements, so that one purchasing goods as Indian-made may be reasonably sure that this is the case.

BY MARTIN CODEL. | President-elect Hoover may be visited in Miami by a delegation from the broadcasting industry to determine his views on the radio situation. The pro- posal to discuss radio with him during the interim after his Latin American tour and before his inauguration will be acted upon by the board of directors of the National Association of Broad- casters at its meeting in Washington, D. C., January 8. ‘The legislative committee of the N. A. B, headed by former Commissioner H. A. Bellows, meets in Washington on January 7, or one day earlier, but it does not expect to be able o crystallize its position on radio legislation on account of the big question mark that surrounds the probable attitude of the next admin- istration. At the present time the N. A. B. is not even committed to the propo- sition advanced last week by Repre- sentative White of Maine that the Fed- eral Radio Commission should be con- tinued for another year. Having omitted mention of radio in his message to Congress, President Coolidge’s views are still puzzling the industry. However, the belief here is that Representative White did not an- nounce his position for another one- year extension of the administrative authority of the commission without first_consulting President Coolidge and possibly also getting word from Mr. Hoover. Concerned With Bills. The N. A. B. directorate, however, is not vitally concerned with the matter of the temporary extension of the com- mission. It is concerned more with the multifarious other legislative proposals regarding radio which will be made at this short session of Congress. These may serve to indicate the trend of mind in Congress toward the control of radio, and it will be with the hope of learning Mr. Hoover's views and then later for- mulating a policy of their own that the broadcasters may seek to interview the President-elect in Florida after his re- turn, early next month. ‘The last annual meeting of the N. A, B, held in Washington several months ago, took no stand on the matter of extending the commission. Neither did it pass any resolutions praising or con- demning the present personnel of the commission. It also refrained from mention of the then pending broadcast reallocation. Informal discussions among the mem- bers revealed that they held the view that it made no material difference whether the commission was continued or became an appeal board after control | had been returned to the Department of Commerce. There was also wide va- riance of opinion among members of the reallocation project, usually depend- ing upon their respective assignments under the allocation. Inclined to Wait. ‘The inclination now seems to be to permit the commission to continue its task without changing its personnel for a short period like one year. If the next administration favors a perma- nent commission, then the N. A. B. will have a full program of legislation to advance. First, however, it wants to discuss radio at Washington with all the legislators who are concerned with the problem. Then it proposes to send the delegation to Miami, anticipating that Mr. Hoover will continue his for- mer interest in radio and that no major legislation may be expected before the next Congress. The N. A. B. directorate comprises the following members: William S. Hedges, WMAQ, Chicago; Joseph B. Groce, WEEI, Boston; J. W. Laughlin, KPO, San Francisco; Alfred J. Mc- Cosker, WOR, Newark; L. S.

RADIO TUBE CONTRACT RULING IS SOUGHT ANEW | Supreme Court Is Asked to Recon- | sider Its Refusal to Render Opinion. By the Associated Press. The Radio Corporation of America yesterday urged the Supreme Court to | reconsider its recent refusal to pass upon the legality of contracts by which it licenses competitors to use its patents in the manufacture of radio receiving sets conditioned on the competitors’ purchase of the corporation’s tubes for equipping the sets, Counsel for the corporation contend- ed in a petition for a rehearing that the lower Federal courts in releasing licensees of the Radio Corporation from the purchase of the tubes had improper- ly construed the Clayton act. It was argued that under the patent laws the corporation was clearly within its rights in making the purchase of its tubes a condition upon which it con- sented to the use of its radio receiver patents by its competitors, Such contracts were being made daily in every line of business, the corpora- tion’s counsel contended.

Jacob's one-act playlet, “The Monkey's Paw,” will be the central fea- ture of the Eveready hour tonight through WRC and associated stations. Shot through with flashes of stark melodrama and culminating in a wildly pulsating climax, “The Monkey's Paw™ provides in concentrated form the thrills and tense emotional crises that | theatergoers have come to associate with such full length plays “The Bat,” “The Thirteenth Chair” and other classics of the spine-tingling school. As with the two previous programs, this Eveready hour will be broadcast from coast to coast, over a network of 29 stations, thus marking the first time that the Jacobs playlet has been made available to radio listeners on a national hook-up.
