it ol - 42 “EQUAL GUILT” PLAN IS RADIO SUBJECT Hawes to Attack Dry En- forcement- Proposal in WMAL Forum. An attack on the proposal of Senator smrpnu of Texas to make purchasers of liquor equally guilty of violating the prohibition law will be made by Senator Hawes of Missouri in a radio address tonight over WMAL and the transcon- tinental network of Columbia Broad- casting System stations. Senator Hawes will be the speaker in the weekly National Radio Forum ar- ranged by The Star and sponsored by the Columbia System. The subject of his speech will be “Opposition to Sen- ator _Sheppard’s Proposal to Consider the Purchase of Liquor Equally Guilty of Law Violation with the Bootlegger.” Senator Hawes believes that prohibi- tion enforcement would be made more difficult if purchasers of liquor were legally made law violators. He is op- posed to prohibition as it now stands and believes the law should be amended to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages through Government control. Political Resume. WMAL's program also contains the ‘weekly resume of the political situation in Washington by Frederic Willlam Wile, a dramatization of a detective mystery story and several musical fea- tures. The Greenwaldt murder, Wis- consin's most bafing mystery, will form the basis of the defective story drama- tization, while the musical presenta- tions will be those of the Gold Seal and Temple hours. Vocal duets by Edna Duane, soprano, and Frank Parker, tenor, will be featured in the Gold Seal program, while the Temple hour is made up of a variety of musical selec- tions, with a medley of college foot ball songs as the feature. One of the principal attractions of WRC and associated National Broad- casting Co. stations will be the weekly, hymn singing of the New York Federa- tion of Churches. The program will be composed _entirely of spirituals and colored folk songs. Armistice Day Tunes. A special pre-armistice day_program has been arranged by the Seiberling Singers over WRC at 9 o'clock.

REMEDY OF RADIO BAD $POTS' SOUGHT Broadcasters Ask Abolition of Zone System and Ex- tension of Licenses. BY MARTIN CODEL. | Special Dispatch to The Star. WEST BADEN, Ind, November 7 (N.AN.A).—Many more expressions about radio conditions throughout the country and about the way broadcasting is being administered by the Federal Radio Commission were voiced yester- day at the annual meeting here of the National Association of Broadcasters than are contained in the resolutions that were ;. The formal resolutions urged chiefly that Congress abolish the zone system, and with it the Davis equalization amendment; that a permanent commis- sion be established over radio; that sta- tion licenses be extended to one year, and that other changes be made to regularize and stabilize the broadcast- ing industry. Most of the broadcasting station op- erators agreed at one of the sessions that radio listeners are making rela- tively few complaints, except in certain areas, because they are satisfled with reception conditions in general. Rem- edy the “bad spots” and much of the discussion about radio conditions will be quieted, they said. Many of them, including operators of high and medium powered stations, agreed that they would be quite satis- fled if they could be assured that their stations would consistently serve a ra- dius of about 50 miles. Nevertheless, it was the consensus that high power and cleared channels were matters of administrative rather than legislative consideration. = High power, several broadcasters stated, is needed in some parts of the country and not in others, notably along the seaboards, where half the service range is an expanse of ocean. Cleared chan- nels should be set aside, they said, only if it becomes plain that but one sta- tion can operate on a particular chan- nel without interference. Even the operators of stations which drew exclusive cleared channels out of the reallocation “grab-bag” of a year ago were critical of the amendment to the radio act which requires equaliza- tion of wave lengths, power and hours of operation among five zones of vary- ing areas and among States within these zones in proportion to population. | Some of the views expressed were highly critical of the Federal Radio Commis- sion, although the limitations upon that body were recognized. The charge was made by Representa- tive Clancy of Detroit that the equaliza- tion amendment is being used by the| commission to condone a “multitude of sins.” Members of were criticized for their unwillingness to express openly, as they do privately, that equalization is unworkable and not working. Both Senator Dill and Representative White, authors of the original radio act, were said to have spoken their convic- tion that the plan of equalizing facili- ties on a zone and State basis was physically an impossibility. The stand of Judge E. O. Sykes md‘ Chairman Ira E. Robinson that chain program duplication was general was refuted on all sides. Duplication exists | only in spotted areas, the broadcasters said. They expressed the belief that| the chain regulation order proposed by Judge Sykes merely temporized with the | situation, and that even if it is passed | the exception will become the rule when it comes to trying to restrict any sta- tion from subscribing to chain pro- grams.
