NEW ALLOCATON 1 SCUENE S SOUGAT \More Equitable Division \ “Among States Is Suggested. r BY MARTIN CODEL. An entirely new scheme of allocating fadio broadcast facilities to the States 18 being sought as the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce pursués its task of revising the Couzens communications Bill in the hope of reporting it to Con- soon. One plan for & more equitable divi sion among the States has been sub mitted by Capt. Guy Hill, U. 8. A, who Tetires in April as acting chief engineer of the Federal Radio Commission to report for military duty_in the Philip- pines. Other plans are being worked out by Commissioners Saltzman and Lafount in conformity with their promises to the Senate committee. All the proposals arc predicated upon the repeal of the Davis equalization amendment, which now divides radio facilities equally gmong zones in proportion to_popula- jon. Repeal of the Davis amendment has already been asked in a bill introduced by Senator Nye of North Dakota.. An- other bill, just introduced by Repre- sentative Wallace White of Maine, seeks an elimivation of the zone system of administering radio and the appoint- ment of the radio commissioners as recommended by President Hoover in his last message to Congress. Details of Capt. Hill's plan will not be announced for several days. Mean- while it has been learned that its pri- mary cbject is to eliminate the wide disparity that now prevails in the amount of radio facilities allotted the States under the zone arrangement. Under a formula recognizing = State rights and taking into account State population and areas, it would make additional facilities available to most |- of the 48 States while reducing ‘those now enjoyed by a few. Besides abolishing the zone system, the Hill plan simply allows each State's ota to be determined 50 per cent on the basis of population, 25 per cent on basis of area and 25 per cent on the basis of States' rights. By States’ rights is meant that each Stafe is ini- tially entitled to that amount of avail- able facilities, the variable factors of pop‘ulatlon and area to determine. the Test. ‘That this plan will cause many changes in the present set-up is con- ceded, but it also means that inherent objections to the present equalization amendment will be removed. Now the first zone.of States gets the same fa- cilities as the fifth, even though the Afth zone of Rocky Mountain and Pa- cific Coast States represents two-fifths ©f the area of the United States. One fifth-zone State alone, Montans, ‘would embrace all the first zone and leave room to spare. Most States would get added allot- ments of waves, powers and hours of operation under the Hill plan. Neces- saril~ these would have to be taken away from States wow overpopulated with radio stations. smong the States which would thus suffer reductions are New York, Rhode Island, P!nnl:g‘\x'llnh. ©Ohio, Mi , Illinols, Wi gton and California. # (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.)

ORLANDO, Fla., March 6.—Charges | that work of eradicating the Mediter- tanean fruit fly under direction of Dr. ‘Wiimon Newell, State Plant Board com- turned over to the present management. The time has come when we must stop handing over millions to theorists and get down to a common-sense business is. Pickard said that so far as he knew there ‘was not a “practical citrus man on either the State Plant Board or the Federal Fly Board.” He added that “I am afraid that in another year, if we have the same kind of eradication that we had last year, it would put the citrus industry out of existence.” ONTARIO COFFERS FULL. .
