Br the Associated Prees The phenomenal development of radio Is reflected in the great increase in business transacted by the Federal Radio Commission and the growth of ite staff of assistants. Two years and three months ago, when the newlv created commission started clearing up the chaos that fol- lowed the breakdown of broadcast sta- tion regulation in 1926, the five com- missioners had seven assistants, a sec- retary. a press relations man and five stenographers. Members of the commission had radio engineering and law experience, there was no regular technical or legal staff Today the personnel of the commis- sion’s working force numbers 90. In the legal division, which was estab- lished just a year ago, there are, now 15_workers. 9 of whom are lawyers. The engineering division created last August had & p experienced rad The remainder of the staff is com- posed of stenographers, typists and clerks. They handle thousands of ap- plications for licenses, construction per- mits. changes of wave lengths and power and letters from broadcast lis- teners Commissioner Lafount, in charge of office administration, says 50,000 appli- cations of various kinds were received in the last. year. The cost of commis- sion operation is approximately $25,000 a month. The swift advance of radio as & me- dium of aural and visual entertainment and its increased and ramified use in communications and commerce add to the complexity of the problems to be solevd by the commission. Television is coming and looking for & suitable place in the ether for serv- ing the public. Radio telegraph message systems are being projected, the mergers of big radio and cable com- panies are in prospect and ambitious plans are under way for the exchange of programs with foreign countries, Aviation is becoming a giant indus- try and regards radio as indispensable, and it is up to the commission to deter- mine the humane. social and economic importance of these various services and to divide radio facilities equitably among them but | 10:30—Dance program. 434.5—NAA—609.
