RADIO IN FRONT ROW .. OF Us S. INDUSTRIES lumy‘];eparfi 300,000 Employed | in Business, With Turnover of $1,000,000,000. As s factor in the economic life of the United States, radio- has jumped into the front row of American indus- tries, employing some 300,000 persons and approaching, in all its phases, an annual turnover of $1,000,000,000. Radio’s stupendous growth in the past few years is convincingly brought out in a survey of the committee on recent economic changes, consisting of business and labor leaders and econo- mists. and headed by President Hoover as chairman. The . committee, now formulating its report on factors of sta- bility and instability in _America’s economic_. life includes Walter F. Brown. Postmaster General; Raskob._ . General Owen D, Young, Green, president of Federation of Labor; Julius Klein, di- rector of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and Daniel Wil- lard, railroad executive. “Probably the outstanding develop- ment in consumption in these past years has been the introduction of the radio,” says the survey. ‘The economic problem of unemploy- ment, for which the committee orig- inally was appointed, has been light- ened in no small .degree by the advent of radio and its dévelopment in the short span of eight years.

BY MARTIN CODEL. An administration stand on the pro- posals to fuse the American interna- tional radio and cable systems into & single giant unit will not- be forthcom- ing until Congress takes up the subject. This was indicated at the White House, where an inquiry elicited the reply that President Hoover regards any amend- ment to the radio law a matter for Congress to ccnsider rather than for administration action, nt Hoover's views were his first expression on the subject since his conference here a week ago with Gen. James G. Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America, and Col. Sosthenes Behn, president of the Inter- national Telephone & Telegraph Co. ‘The latter company proposes to absorb the world-wide radio communications system of the Radio Corporation of &merica, providing the portion of the radio act prohibiting wire and wireless mergers can be amended.
