It is assumed that Commissioners Robin- son, Sykes, Pickard and Lafount are ling,to remain, even if the bills to extend ' the commission that are now before Congress fail of enactment and the commissiort after March 15 becomes an appellate body, considering only dis- vuted questions and sitting only peri- odically. Hoover Well Posted. Whether President Coolidge will dis- cuss with President-elect Hoover the future personnel of the commission was not indicated, but it is apparent that the matter has not yet been taken up. Since the incoming President is one of the best posted men in radio by rea- son of his stewardship over the air as Secretary of Commerce, it has been assumed that he would have something | to suggest about the men who shall comprise the board during his admin- istration. As matters now stand, the terms of all the commissioners expire in exactly one month, and their present adminis- trative duties are due to revert to the Department of Commerce after March 15. President Coolidge must appoint the commissioners before he leaves of- fice. The Senate would be expected to confirm them during the present short session. ‘There is an interim of only eight days between February 23 and March 4. ‘The open season for pickire a possi- ble successor to Commissioner Cald- well is now at hand. The appointee must necessarily come from the first radio zone, which embraces Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia. Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands. He will have to be a Republican if the other two Repub- licans and two Democrats now on the board are retained. Free of Entanglements. Under the law no member of the commission shall be financially inter- ested in the manufacture or sale of radio apparatus or in the transmission or operation of radio telegraphy, radio- telephony or radio broadcasting. This is one of the main difficulties in get- ting available men who know the high- 1y involved radio situation. Unless the appointment is made purely political— and nearly all the commissioners have been appointed so far on the basis of other qualifications—the fleld from which the President may pick qualified men is highly restricted. Commissioner Caldwell, who has been a leading spirit on the commis- sion since it was foromed, was the combination of an editor of radio trade journals and a graduate electrical en- gineer. Many of the engineers who might qualify by reason of their technical knowledge and their execu- tive ability are unavailable because they are drawing patent royalties on radio apparatus of their invention. Other men from the manufacturing and broadcasting industry have investments wlglch would prevent their taking the place. Many names are already being dis- cussed for the Caldwell post, chief among them being New York radio editors, like Orrin Dunlap, jr.; Capt. Robert Wood, Edgar Felix, Lloyd Jac- quet and E. L. Bragdon. Volney Hurd, Boston editor, has heen mentioned. Among the engineers the outstand- ing name brought forth is that of Capt. Robert Marriott, an independent con- sultant. The post would pay $10.000 for the year of administration, and each commissioner would receive $30 per diem when the board sits on appeals.
