CORNELIA SKINNER ON'WRC TONIGHT Full-Length Program of Char- acter Sketches Will Be on Eveready Hour. ‘The Eveready hour, with Cornelia Otis Skinner as the star, dominates the program tonight of WRC. Miss Skinner will be heard in a full-length program of her now famous character sketches, written and acted by herself. A network of 29 stations will Miss Skinner's program, her second for the Eveready hour, from cqast to coast. Her initial radio performance last year was the occasion for an outburst of favorable comment and brought ‘forth an insistent stream of requests for her reappearance. Following that broadcast she expressed keen appreciation of the opportunities afforded by radio for the expression of her special art. Another period devoted to the music of great composers and the weekly con- cert of the Morley Singers, the Clicquot Eskimos and the Mediterraneans, are among WRC's other features. The Mediterraneans have arranged a program of popular airs which includes selections from the musical comedy su cess, “Us-a-Daisy” and a special ai rangement of the popular ballad, “Among My Souvenirs.” The Clicquot program, as usual, will be made up chiefly of popular rance numbers. The works of Alexandre Konstantino- vitch Glazounow, Russian composer, will be played during the great com- posers period. “Carneval Overture,” “Polonnaise” and “Romance Orientale” are included in the program. ‘WMAL'S outstanding feature will be the broadcast of the concert of Latin- American music at the Pan-American Union, which, for the first time, will be distributed over a large network of stations in the Columbia System. Na- ,tive melodies of the anclent Mayans, Brazil and Argentina, make up this rogram. Two South American artists, ka Josetti, Brazilian pianist, and Ennin Bolognini, Argentine cellist, will take a prominent part in the concert, which is one of the events honoring «delegates to the Pan-American confer- _ence on arbitration and conciliation.

The dramatic production to: will be “East Lynne,” an eighteent century melodrama. WOL's program tonight has been augmented with a talk on the Wash- ‘ington Community Chest by Corcoran Two Bills.” pm'm will be broadcast-fzom 10 o'ck to snidnight. ~ e FLYERS APATHETIC TOWARD RADIO USE Mndifference to Development of Wireless Attributed to Many Flight Problems, BY MARTIN CODEL. An apathetic attitude toward the of radio to various phases eronautical o e o siresade ware. consplosous a for were ous by their absence. At the mum fe on 50 Tex; Degew This indifference toward radio's tre- endous bilities tory at Langley Field end, is not actively engaged in any on aircraft radio problems. Aviators admit a distaste for learn- Ing radio telegraphy. A relatively un- exciting 'glgnse of the fiyers’ curricula, outside military, most commercial airmen simply will not trouble to learn radio. They will agree that radio offers pome present safeguards to flying and mises many more in the future. But y leave this development almost ly to the Army, Navy and radio wy laboratories. ~Few, if flying schools offer any, radio ‘Wright Keen Student. This twenty-fifth anniversary of the t powered airplane flight finds one the keenest observers of radio de- lopments for aircraft in Orville right, the man who flew the first . During the international confer- ice at Washington and sul it junket of the gathering of world air notables to Kitty Hawk, N. C., the sceng of the birth of aviation, Mr. Wright had occasion to confer with some of the leading men working on Lpertecr.!on of radio devices for air- raft. All through the conference sessions nd on _the Kitty Hawk trip a group of neral Electric Co. scientists was mix- with the aeronauts to get ideas largely about radio aids for aviation. Such men as Ray Stearns, Dr. W. {Coolidge, Dr. E. F. W. Alexanderson an: Br. A. R. Stevenson, jr., were on hand. r. Irving Langmuir of vacuum tube fame was left in Dayton with an attack of influenza when the conference party went there to visit Wright Field. Their resence revealed an intense interest in io aids to flying among some of the lJeading radio sclentists. Dr. Alexanderson predicted that radio ould ultimately make flying safe, and escribed his own “radio echo” method Yor determining absolute altitudes so that aviators always know their theight with precise relation to the undcthey are flying oyer at a given ment. Dellinger Tells of Progress. At one of the conference sessions Dr. . H. Dellinger, radio chief of the Bu- au of Standards, told of the radio n, visual indicator, pole antenna d receiving sets being developed for Nré"m F. C. ho is in apt. F. C. Hingsburg, w] arge of installing the Government's nsive radio beacon system on the ivil airways, was present throughout he parley. The Federal Radio Commission at- Rended one subsession at which the pa- per of Dr. Dellinger was presented. El- mer Sperry of gyroscope, aircraft illu- minator and plane-building fame paid high tribute to the Bureau of Standards’ chief and his assistants for their pio- ]xeefln'guwork in aircraft radio. At same session W. G. Fisk, Ra- lio Corporation of America engineer, ing loped f or ircraft beacon, telegraph and telephone aling. All of this interest in radio for air- lraft seems to be concentrated in only 8 few men, but they are an exceed! dmportant lot. Their achievements dur- ing these next few years of aeronauti- ieal progress will undoubtedly contribute wastly toward safe flying. (Copyright, 1928, by North Newspaper Alliance. — D.

GROUP SEEKS TARIFF FREE FROM POLITICS Manufacturers’ Association Com- 8 mittee Will Draw Up Plan for Practical System. By the Assoclated Press. b NEW YORK, December 18.—John E. Edgerton, president of the National Assoclation of Manufacturers has announced appointment of 10 members of a subcommittee to draw up a prac- tical plan to “take politics out of the tarift.” Mr. Edgerton said the association was “seeking improvements that will place our tariff administration on a higher plane of effectiveness” by extending the powers of the Tariff Commission and making it a semi-judicial, non-partisan TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1 NEW RADIO BOARD MARCH 16 1 SEEN 2<% Little Opposition to Bills Of- fered in Both Houses Is Anticipated. An improved, and perhaps new, Fed- eral Radio Commission will begin functioning March 16 for its third and final year. This is accepted as a fore- gone conclusion in view of the intro- duction in both houses of Congress of identical measures designed to prolong the life of the commission another year and to expand the commission’s legal department. Following customary procedure, the bills were referred to the respective radio committees of the House and Senate. Chairman Watson of the Sen- ate committee, and Chairman White, presiding over the House committee, introduced the measure. The measure carries the favorable sentiment of both houses, despite the opposition that is always present to a commission form of administration. Little Opposition Expected. Because the extension of the com- mission’s_life is only a temporary ex- pedient, however, and because there is not sufficient time at the short session to go through the necessary steps for enactment of new and permsanent legis- | lation, little opposition is expected to develop. There is likelthood that the person- | nel of the new commission will be changed. The terms of the five pres- ent commissioners expire February 23, but the commission itself does not pass out of existence as an administrative body until March 15. There is pro- nounced opposition to one or two of the commissioners on the part of some Senators. Moreover, it is felt that President- | elect Hoover may wish a change or ::‘m u:)xz‘ i:he oommiui'nan, and f-\mtI o;’.}- 0 will be up to President - idge to: do the appoihting he probably. ment. The new appointmen made prior' to February 23, or little takes office. 23 last year, when the commission was. extended for a year, with the excep- tion of the section dealing with the expansion of its legal department. It provides that the salaries of the com- missioners shall continue at the “rate of $10,000: per annum and-that prior to January 1, 1931, the commission ihnl gr‘mt;n% H;;mzt ‘:r nntewnl fe! icense for a;brof g, station for more than three mm’:?k:s, and no license or renewal for any other class of station for a period to exceed one year. Bill Authorizes Counsel. The commission, under the bill, is aus thorized to appoint a general counsel Expert Radio Repairing and will respect the Presmmz-elgt";“jm W s ; more thean a week before Mr. Hoover ‘The measure is practically the same{’ as that passed, by Congress Fcbmg,ty]'- » at a salary of $10,000 mru and assistants at salaries of $7,500 each. It also would be enabled to appoint such other assistants as it may from time to time find necessary, with Con appropriating the salaries. This added section is traceable to com- plaints by the commission that it is im- by lack of sufficient appropria- tions to maintain an adequate legal de- partment. Chairman White says he already has scheduled hearings on the measure be- fore his merchant marine committee, to begin January 8. Members of the commisison and others who may ask to appear will be heard, but, he says, it is not intended to go beyond the scope of the bill itself and into the complex problem of radio and communications administration. Senator Watson says he does not contemplate hearings be- fore the interstate commerce commit- tee. The Seventy-first Congress will tackle the permanent radio legislation. If the present attitude of radio leaders can be | accepted it will be toward the estab- lishment of a quasi-judicial commission, like the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, to handle all communication, both wired and wireless, and to govern ad- vertising rates, policy, and, in fact, every aspect of communication.
