THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, LEAGUE OF VOTERS TOKEEP UP SERIES Women Planning Broadcasts on Politics, Beginning on January 7. BY MARTIN CODEL. Keeping the populace posted on poli- tics, prime motive of the “Voters' Serv- ice,” conducted on the radio during the last two years by the National League of Women Voters, will be undertaken anew in 1930. In co-operation with the National Broadcasting Co., the league is now preparing its new broadcast series for presentation over a Nation- wide network on Tuesday evenings, be- ginning January 7. Entirely non-partisan in character, the service of political education is de- signed to offer discussions of all sides of leading issues before the country, so that the average citizen will understand | his own relation to them. As in the, National Radio Forum conducted over the Columbia Broadcasting System by The Washington Star on Thursday eve- nings, it will bring important figures before the microphone to speak on sub- jects selected for their timeliness and instructive nature. ‘The policy to be pursued will be the same as that governing the 1928 and 1929 series, which aroused great interest throughout the country. As stated by the League of Women Voters, this policy 15 as follows: Statement of Policy. “The purpose of the service is to in- form and clarify, but not to promote any platform or point of view. The service will have no connection with any party or political group. It will not attack either persons or opinions sincerely held. It hopes to arouse greater interest in government on the part of the voters and to stimulate in- telligent discussion of public questions.” A campaign aspect will be given the service, as in 1928, since congressional elections will be held in 1930. Accord- ing to the league's announcement, dur- ing January and February the programs will deal reportorially with what is happening in Congress and in the Fed- eral agencies, especially in regard to economic . Background talks and pro and con discussions will be given. The March programs have been re- served for a “radio citizenship school,” devoted to the citizen's relation to gov- ernment. In April and May special emphasis will be placed upon questions which may figure as issues in the forth- coming congressional campaigns. Speakers Announced. Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman ‘Wilbur and Chairman Ira E. Robinson of the Federal Radio Commission are scheduled to open the 1930 series with discussions of the general subjeci “Education by Radio.” The only speak- ers definitely announced for the later programs are Charles G. Ross, the Washington newspaper correspondent, heard frequently in the earlier series, and Miss Belle Sherwin, president of the National League of Women Voters. ‘Thirty stations carried the 1929 pro- gram, but the number is expected to increase appreciably for the 1930 series. ‘The arrangement whereby local libraries affiliated with the American Library As- sociation will distribute reading lists in connection with the topics discussed, the lists to be read at the close of each broadcast, will be continued. Miss Katherine Ludington, chairman of the league's radio committee, also announces that special attention will be given during 1930 to developing group listening by classes or clubs, Announce Appointments. +The appointment of Harry C.
