LIKELY TOEXTEND RADIO COMMISSION Congress Expected to Grant Third Lease of Time to Body. BY MARTIN CODEL. As the Unfted States Senate recon- vened today, only to adjourn per- functorly, according to the provisions of the special session, until the regu- lar session of Congress opens December 2, interest is momentarily revived in the prospect of radio legislation. ‘The only word about radio legisla- tion that has been forthcoming from |1 any member of Congress recently is the statement of Representative Wallace ‘White, jr., of Maine, who expressed the opinion that Congress will not have time to pass any general legislation covering radio before December 31. ¢ On that date, the Federal Radio Commission’s present tenure, Wwhich represents a second one-year exten- sicn of life granted by Congress, is due to expire and the commission becomes an appeal board, sitting on appeals from the administrative decisions of the Department of Commerce. Representative White called on Presi- dent Hoover and discussed radio with him, with other subjects. He indi- cated afterward that the President ‘would favor a third extension of the commission, and It is probable that a bill to that effert will be introduced when the House assembles. Plans to Ask Extension. Senator Dill of Washington, has also indicated that he will ask the Senate to pass on another extension of the commission, pending the exhaustive hearings that remain to be conducted on the Couzers communication bill. Most of the legislators are away, though some, like Senator Couzens, are here but deeply engrossed in tarif legislation. Although the committee on interstate commerce, of which he is chairman, has been empowered to hold hearings on his communications biil during the recess, Senator Couzens will probably not call the committee to- gether for that purpose before Novem- ber, if he calls it at all before the « regular session. President Hoover may be expected to incorporate some words on radio and communications in his message to Con- gress next December, for he has always been interested in the subject. If he specifically- recommends a continuance ;3"!‘ lthefluzmg!sinn, ltu:.s more than ely that Congress will comply with his wishes. The Couzens hflf ywhlch covers all branches of the communica- tions industry and the matter of in- terstate power as well, is too sweep- ing in character to expect action on it before one or two Congresses have con- sidered it. Hoover to Name Group. Meanwhile, radio interest is not lag- ging in official quarters. President Hoover in a day or two will name the delegation which will represent the ‘United States at the international radin technical consulting committee meet- ings to be held at The Hague, beginning September 19. The distribution of in- ternational radio channels among the nations of the world will be one of the major problems before this con- ference. Three high Government offi- cials and a staff of engineering experts will be named for The Mague dele- B the Tadlo 1 e radio industry, the maze of litigation into which the radio com- mission has been drawn and several major patent suits have attracted in- terest to the legal side of radio. The decision of Judge Hugh M. Morris in Federal District Court at Wilmington, Del, last week, holding Francis W. Dunmore and Percival G. Lowell the Teal inventors of the so-called “socket power” patents, has evoked a statement Irom the Radio Protective Association, an organization of independent manu- facturers, again attacking the so-called “radio ;mf:i" This decision, according to Oswald F. Bchuette, executive secretary of the as- sociation, reveals that the.“trust” has ‘been collecting royalties on patents it oes not own. He characterizes this as “patent racketeering” and has again appealed to the Department of Justice to prosecute monopoly charges againsi the companies forming the patent pool that dominates the industry.

OU'LL hear Al Jolson doing his newest numbers. You'll laugh at him, you'll cry with him. For he gives everything he's got to introduce the NEW Brunswick Radio. And it's worthy of his greatest effort—=a beau- tiful instrument—a remarkable value—but more, the NEW Brunswick is the first and only radio that completely fills the function of a radio== and that is to receive programs with “Studio Quality” Radio Reception. This simply means that through the NEW Brunswick you hear programs just as if you were listening to them in the Broadcasting Station and not through a radio. There is no loss of quality. The Proof Great critics attested to this fact at 12:11 midnight, May 4th last, in New York City, when, using the facilities of Station WABC, Brunswick made the most sen_:aficnul and dramatic test for Tone and Reception ever conceived.

Every Brunswick dealer will and can re-create this test for you in his own store. You can hear the exact broadcast Brunswick sent over the air on May 4th last, just as though you had been in the studio when it was made. At the same time you can listen to the same broad- cast as it was received through a stock model of the NEW Brunswick and so, prove fo your- - self, conclusively, by this comparison, that Brunswick can claim with full justification, “Stydio Quality” Radio Reception. .COHEN & HUGHES CO., 410 W.
