Edith Reed’s Entertainers and a dinner concert are the other features. FEARS ON RADI0 CENSUS ALLAYED Officials Deny Rumors Tax or Charge for Programs Contemplated. Any fear harbored by the public that the purpose of the radio receiving set count being taken as a part of the census is to tax owners of sets, as is done in practically all other countries, 1s allayed by Federal officials here. It is em&buucdly stated that the reason for including the somuy ques- tion: “Have you & radio?” the questionnaire is to get informlticn on the distribution of sets over the country to aid the Federal radio authorities in justly allocating facilities to serve the maximum number of listeners. More- over, it will provide an index of the American standard of living, it is said. Census enumerators, who only this month began their Nation-wide nose count, have reported difficulty in get- ting this question answered. There leems to be prevalent the view that a will be levied to defray the costs o! administering radio, or perhaps to chnrxe !ox programs. of Commerce Lamont, ch.nrmnn Charles McK. Saltzman of the radio commission, and Senator Dill of Washington, sponsor of radio legis- lation, unite in denial of this wide- spread rumor. They say it is totally unfounded, and declare the count will benefit listeners, through improved and more equitable’ distribution of radio stations and power so that areas with the greatest “radio population” will be accorded facilities commensurate with their requirements. Besides the tax trouble, considerable controversy has been provoked as to why the radio question was favored by inclusion in the questionnaire, and all other industries and products disre- garded. Manufacturers of 40 different articles tried to get similar treatment to ascertain how extensively their pro- ducts were used, but without avail. As a matter of fact, the radio question was ruled out by Congress, but put back in by the Census Bureau when the questionnaires were drafted. That the radio industry will be benefited greatly is evident. There will be available precise information on the number of sets in use, and their dis- tribuation by regions. The.only figures now available are in the nature of esti- mates which are little short of guess- work. Latest estimates place the num- ber of receiving sets at some 45,000,000. The Radio Manufacturers' Associa- tion, ot course, has indorsed the pro- ject from the start. It wanted two ques- tions asked, however. To supplement 2:15—“Home Music Lessons,” by Har- riet A.

Concurring in this view, Senator Dill said complete and reliable statistics will be extremely valuable as an ald to a just allocation of radio facilities. “Radio is a rapidly growing industry in which is involved a distinct public interest and very important public rights,” he added. “There are, as wvery one knows, only a limited number of channels for broadcasting. If the census figures disclose that a given district has only a few radio receiving sets and that in that locality there is no general interest in radio, then there would be no reason why radio facilities should be allocated to that district at the expense of some other where there was a very lively interest m‘ ndlo lnd a large number of re- celving (Copyr lm, 1'30. by the Consolidated Press.) 11:30—Orchestra (30 min.); WJZ (30 min.). | ¥ NOT and consequently cannot ac-!
