Plans for broadcasting the Hoover- Curtis inauguration ceremonies here March 4 are progressing apace. Each of the great national radio networks will strive to outdo the other in offer- ing the most comprehensive and inter- esting word picture of this momentous event to the country and to the world. Neither the National Broadcasting Co. nor the Columbia Broadcasting System is willing to divulge its preliminary ar- rangements at this stage of the plan- ning. Both have had active workers in Washington during the last 10 days to map out details with the press and radio committee. The chains will compete to attract the radio audience as they have never competed since they both became Nation-wide in scope. All of the 58 stations of the National Broadeasting Co. and the 46 stations of the Columbia Broadcasting System will carry the event, this alone inauxing the greatest hook-up in history for a single event. Both chains, it is understood, willl also link non-member stations in this country and Canada. The descrip- tion of the ceremonies will be carried all over the civilized world via the short waves. It is not unlikely that 125 to 150 North American staf linked for the inauguration wave length in the br St rum will probably carry nothing else on March 4. . Concerts Arranged. Leading up to inauguration day, the fnaugural committee is arranging for & series of public concerts with famous artists which will go on the air. Pre- liminary talks of reminiscent and ex- planatory character will also be the Sfferings of the chains just before March 4, men in public life and Washington newspaper correspondents being the speakers. Inaugural ceremonies actually will begin at 11:30 am., when the presi- dential party leaves the White House to attend the inauguration of Vice President-elect Charles Curtis in the United States Senate chamber, where radio microphones will be placed for the first time in history. The party then goes to the stand before the Capitol plaza, where Chief Justice Taft will ad- minister the oath of office to President- elect Hoover. The inaugural address follows. All of this will go on the air. Around 1 pm., the presidential and vice presidential parties will leave the Capitol, proceed up Pensylvania avenue to the White House, lunch there and then go to the President’s reviewing stand to review the four-mile parade that is expected to last fully two hours. The parade will be described by radio announcers from vantags points along the line, and probably aiso a glimpse of the panorama will be offere@ by an- nouncers at remote control redic ste- tions in such places as the dome bal- cony of the Capitol and the top of the ‘Washington Monument. 2 . Both Columbia and National radio efficials say that their leading an- nouncers will all be here for the event. in addition, both ‘are mustering a corps of experienced observers and reporters to coach the announcers per- sonalities in the picture and to help de- casting . Co's manager of the pre- liminary arrangements is Avery Marks, a former Washington newspaper man, while Columbia has sent Sam Pickard, “the public will hear Httle | Something~ about, but out of which mln{‘l youth n the land -will get a real “kick,” will be the governors-to-President radio re- 4, a desiganted radio itol of each of the 48 States will ap- proach and secure a message from his rnor, addressed to President Hoover, e will then clear the meSsage from his amateur transmitter for direct or re- layed pick-up by amateur radio sta- tions of the Washington Radio Club. ‘The eumm file of gubernational mes- Bages then be delivered to the ‘House Bill Approved. Legalistic aspects of the radio situ- stion absorbed members of the Senate committee on interstate commerce as they questioned Ju E. O. Sykes, member of the Federal Radio Commis- sion, during the second day of their hearings on the bill to extend the com- mission for another year. While the Senate group was in session, the House committee unanimously voted in favor of reporting the bill and designated Chairman White to prepare the report, i :rglng action on it at the present ses- on. Judge Sykes t:1d the Senate commit- tee, as he has told the House commit- tee, that he favored the proposed con- tinuance of the commission because its work is far from finished. In fact, he stated his pelief that a permanent com- mission to rule over radio will be needed. Not the least of the unscttled problems are those surrounding the limitations of the commission. There are threé cases pending in the Federal District Court at Chicago and nine in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, Judge Sykes said. ‘These should bring about a legal de- termination of such questions as vested and property rights in radio and should clarify the constitutional authority of , the commission. He reviewed these cases, and Senator Dill pointed out to his colleagues that he regarded the WGY and WNYC cases as going “to the very heart of the law.” % The WGY case involves a licensee’s right to renewal, the validity of the recent reallocation order regarding property rights and the regulatory au- thority of the commission. The WNYC case only involves property rights, but raises the question of the commission’s authority and discretion in “preventing the city of New York from exercising + municipal functions,” in operating a broadcasting station.
