The Gavern- ment's experts are meeting with engi- neers from the industry here this week to draw up American policies to be pur- sued at the intenational conference on radio wave lengths. The radio body’s next important step will be the selection of a chairman.

The Senate hearings, starting with the for- mer chief_counsel of the commission, Louis G. Caldwell, as the first witness, will probably continue about & week before members of the Senate commit- tee on interstate commerce become pre- occupled with the tariff bill. The ob- jcot of the hearings is to make the whole subject of communications & mat- ter of record before new legislation is sion. Mr. Cafdwell, who is chairman of the merican Bar Association’s committee on radio, will review the whole field of radio regulation. ! Government officials, including the radio commissioners and communica- tion experls from the various depart- ments. will be called next is im- probable that representatives dustry will appear during the extra ses- | 8lon unless it drags out much longer than expected with farm relief and tariff. Senator Couzens' bill would establish control the telephone, telegraph and cable systems as well as radio. It is really a composite of the present radio act and the communications featuves of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion act. The Senator from Michigan, now chairman of the interstate com- merce committee, says he has intro- duced it merely to open discussions on fore the Government. Senator Dill of Washington, who has taken a more active interest in radio 1 legislation than any of his colleagues, is understood to be writing still another bill on the subject. This will be intro- duced shortly. It incorporates more modern regulatory phases of the com- munications situation that have de- developed with radio’s use for tele- graphic communication and its pro- tive use for television and other advanced services. The radio short-wave situation is again brought to the forefront by the request of the Radio Corporation of cations for channels upon which to operate an intercity telegraph service. Formal application was made before the full commission today by Col. Man- ton Davis, vice president of the radio corporation. It is more than likely that the hear- ins will be held in order to acquaint the new commissioners with the issue and to speed up the rival domestic radio telegraph projects. The commission’s first act at its was_to designate Commissioner H. A.
