Jardine, Sccretary of| | Agriculture during the Coolidge admin- istration, has gone into radio. The former Cabinet member has es- | tablished in Washington a radio service | bureau for broadcasters and all other licensed users of the ether. It is sort of a liaison agency between commercial | radio organizations and the Federal | regulatory authorities in the Nation's | Capital. Aligned with Mr. Jardine in this new ehterprise are his son, W. N. Jardine, |and Prof. C. M.

He has been in- tensely interested in radio for many years, and participated in the estab- lishment of one of the first agricultural college stations in the country—station KSAC, at Kansas State. This station he established jointly with former Radio Commissioner Sam Pickard in 1922. On becoming Secretary of Agricul- ture in 1925 Mr. Jardine established a radio division in that department and prevailed upon Mr. Pickard to super- It since has grown dissemination of agricultural informa- | tion. After resigning from his Cabinet post Mr. Jardine became agricultural coun- sel for the Federated Growers, a co- operative organization. Several broad- casters, however, it is understood, sug- gested the establishment of a radio service bureau in Washington. After a survey he felt such an enterprise was justified. Radio has opened a new_ specialized branch in law around Washington. Several prominent law firms have be- gun specializing in this new field by virtue of the many cases that are tried before the Radio Commission and the mounting number that are being ap- pealed to the Court; of Appeals of the District of Columbia, the judicial body Radio Commission. Broadcasters throughout the country are finding it necessary to have counsel retained in Washington to represent their interests, because under present commission procedure they may be made parties to a case before the com- | mission without in any way seeking it, Must Defend Position. This condition results from'the pres- ent commission regulation under which every station on a particular channel is called in to defend its rights whenever another station applies for assignment on that particular channel, or for in- creased power, increased hours of oper- ation, or what not.
