I THE EVENT & STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, TUESDAY, O« RADID HEARIGS SETBY DG CORT Appellate Tribunal to Sit as| “Super-Commission” Next Month. e By the Associated Press. When the Court of Appeals of 1he‘ District starts hearing a score of radio | cases in October it will be sitting as a sort of super-commission. | P In addition to determining such pure- 1y legal questions as the constitutionality of the radio act and the authority of the commission, it may decide adminis- trative issues involving the engineering principles of station allocation and the problem of service to listeners. Section 16 of the radio law empowers the courts to set aside any refusal of the commission to grant licenses, speci- | fled wave lengths or increases in power. | Subject of Criticism. This vesting of administrative power | in tribunals whose members may not be expertly familiar with radio problems has been the target of considerable criticism. Among those attacking the provision of the law is the radio committee of the American Bar Association, chair- man of which is Louis G. Caldwell, former chief counsel for the commission. | 1u ‘The committee urges that the section | of be amended so as ciearly to restrict the |change in personnel. jurisdiction of the reviewing court to| Judicial functions. such as those exer- DAYS OF MOURNING ENDED Body of Cardinal Dubois to Be Consigned to Crypt.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 1.— The close proximity of this city to sta- tion WMAL at. Washington and the fact that that station operates on the same wave length as station WRVA At Rich- mond, Va., where the State contests in the Atwater Kent audition are to be held on October 19, muy cause the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce to discard its plans to conduct a local au- dition this year to select two repre- sentatives for the State contests. The winner of the audition at Rich- mond is determined by the votes cast by the radio audience after the au- dition has been staged. Last year two vocalists were sent to Richmond by the Chamber of Commerce and local radio listeners were unable to receive the program because of the interference casting on the same wave length. Con- sequently the local entrants suffered, for they could receive no votes from | this_city, Alexandria radio fans being unable to cast ballots for their rep- created by WMAL and WRVA broad- | cised by the Circuit Court of Appeals Randolph Hearst and the estate of the with reference to orders by the Federal late Charles Pfister.

An effort was to have been made to change the wave length of one of the stations so there would be no such conflict again this year, but the situa- tion remains unchanged, it is claimed by_members of the local chamber. Discussing the situation at their meeting last week, members of the Civic Bureau of the Chamber of Com- merce, according to Secretary J. T. Preston, spoke in opposition to staging another audition here this year, be- cause “there is no incentive to spend money to stage an audition and to send representatives to Richmond when they cannot be heard here and as a result have no chance to poll a large vote, because they cannot be heard in their own city.” REFUGEES DISPERSED.

CHEATHAM TO WEAR LATEST SUMMER-GARB Senior Cotton Technologist to Offer Solution for Dress Problem at Convention, R. J. Cheatham, senior cotton tech- nologist of the Agriculture Department’s cotton marketing section, 15 on his way to 'Memphis, Tenn., and the National Cotton Show with what he described as the solution to at least one phase of the male’s Summer dress problem. The problem he had in mind was the cost of laundering cotton suits, and his solution consisted of a cotton ‘“gabar- dine” coat of light tan and trousers of a new cotton flannel -with fine pin Mr, Cheatham and other Gov- ernment experts plan to wear the suits to furnish evidence of new practical uses of cotton. The garments were or- dered from the Cotton Textile Institute especially for the cotton show. Arthur W. Palmer, chief of the cotton marketing section, and his assoclates learned during their study that man's big difficulty in Summer wear is not the cost of light-weight clothing, but the cost of having the garments laun- dered. With that in mind they set about designing apparel that would not require so much labor in laundering. ‘The result, Mr. Cheatham said, was a suit with the minimum of tailored lapels, mandatory creases and padded shoulders, Whensyou buy a Majestic you get the instru- ment designed by the world’s most famous éngit_leers . . . made of the most costly mate- rials . . . built by the most highly paid crafts- men...tested and inspected 992 times before you get it.
