POLITICS HELD BACK OF DRY MOVE DELAY Congress’ Failure to Heed Hoover’s Prohibition Wishes Laid to Fear of Results. I Pailure of Congress to heed President ‘FHoover's wish for enactment of pro- hibition enforcement bills is attributed by political leaders to the reluctance of Capitol Hill to fll'y with dynamite be- fore election. The White House, in the emphatic message to Congress this week, reminded the House and Senate that urgent recommendations made by the President first in June, 1929, and again in December, remain dead letters. Mr. Hoover hopes almost against hope that action may ensue before the present session is ended. Predictions are gen- eral that the President is doomed to further disappointment, at least as far as passag of his whole program is con- gerned. The national ferment over prohibi- tion is named as the principal cause for congressional dilly-dallying over the administration dry program. With the entire membership of the House of Representatives and more than one- third of the Senate coming up for election in November, Republicans and Democrats alike are watching their step. They are watching it this “off year” more carefully than ever, on account ©of the prohibition issue. Avold Unnecessary Risks. Scores of candidates in both parties believe their respective fates nexi Fall depend on their political liquor records. | ‘They want to run no unnecessary risks. | Their votes in Washington for or against this or that portion of the Hoover enforcement bills might be the | feathers, many of them think, to turn the scales toward success or defeat at the November polls. ‘The fact that Congress has not moved along the lines the President now has urged for the third time within a year is all the more remarkable because of the prohibition complexion of both branches. The House and Senate are overwhelmingly dry. They never have ‘withheld approval of measures designed to tighten the liquor laws. The Jones “five-and-ten” statute was passed by substantial majorities. Yet the Hoover program, which is far less drastic and virtually'is a program of purely admin- istrative measures, is held up. Old Hands Blame Dry Fight. Congressional old hands, especially those in either party who will have to bear the brunt of carrying House dis- tricts and Senate seats this year, are convinced that the pending prohibition “ypheaval” is wholly responsible. On their face, the proposals to transfer enforcement from the Treasury to the Department of Justice; to relieve court congestion; to increase Federal prison accommodations; to create a unified border patrol, and to give the District of Columbia an adequate enforcement law are innocent enough. But with the electorate, as the politi- cians view it, watching like hawks every move at Washington the men and wom- en who want to perpetuate themselves on Capitol Hill are going to keep their hands off dangerous legislation as long as possible. This may not be looking at the Nation’s business from an idealistic standpoint, they admit, but it’s politics, they say, and springs from the instinct of self-preservation. Administration Scouts Idea. Administration spokesmen do not share the view that the President’s geh!bman measures have been balked timid politicians. A variety of con- gressional business and a number of unexpected complications on Capitol Hill, they say, have conspired to produce unavoidable delfi. From the White House standpoint, there is nothing in any of the Hoover bills which could not be approved by wets and drys alike without peril to their political fences. Several of the presidential proposals cut across the jurisdiction of various committees. This is a circumstance which makes pro- tracted delay and inquiry inevitable. ‘The tariff tangle was proionged unex- tedly. Now the London naval treaty as come aleng, with the session's end in sight. Mr. Hoover felt it necessary and useful to keep the recorgd clear by g a final demand for action, but he is represented as feeling that on the whole the Hill's other troubles were such that enforcement legislation au- tomatically was sidetracked. This may be the White House view. At the other erid of Pennsylvania ave- nue “safety first” is generally assigned as the reason why Congress has made haste so slowly in helping the President to form his “high duty” in the realm of Jaw enforcement.

THE EVE Choosing Your Career Radio, With Three Active Branches, Is Profession,) Business and Industry in. Which Those Who Have the Usual Qualifications May Expect Fair Success.

He was educated in the public schools ' and _ too} spec electrical engineering at kiyn, N. Y. He beg: er boy and became & operator and expert with the Marconl Co. Viewed as a career, radio offers the advantages of three distinet fields of ac- tivity. Radlo is a profession, & business and an industry. A young man can earn from about $20 a week to $50 or $60 as a beginner, dependent upon his preliminary training, ability and the field he selects and for which he is best equipped. In the engineering field alone, radio offers measured possibilities, for it is at once the most intri and prolific of modern techniques, and it is still young. A candidate for the position of radio engineer or technician should ob- tain the necessary radio instruction at a technical school. The basis of radio work is electrical engineering, rounded out with a special course in radio en- gineering. ‘There is need for the practical tech- nician as well as for the graduate en- gineer. Side by side, in the research laboratories, in the transmitting and receiving stations and elsewhere, both types of men are engaged in a common cause. While one is better fitted to pro- vide the foundation of established radio knowledge, thereby saving time and ex- pense for the industry, the other is fre- quently more ingenious in translating theory into practical terms. ‘The lack of engineering training, therefore, is by no means fatal to suc- cess, although' it must be obvious that the practical technician can hardly ex- pect to handle the work of the i Chica 311 7th St. e DAVID SARNOFF. ate englneer except through long years of experience. The engineering phase of radio is extensive in scope. There is the re- search laboratory, where the radio art is in the making. Research workers | comprise graduate engineers and prac- tical technicians. In fact, some of the outstanding developments have been inaugurated by men without an engi- neering_ background, yet highly ingeni- ous and enterprising. ‘The chemist plays an all-important part in the development and production of radio tubes, insulating materials, varnishes, lacquers, sealing compounds, arket Co.

The mechanical engineer is required at al- most every turn, particularly in develop- ing production processes. The optical expert is called upon with regard to the optical problems of talking pictures, television and other applications of the radio technique. Production, which mobilizes hundreds of thousands of workers, men and wom- en alike, ranging Trom engineering staff and production engineers down to ma- chine operatives, assemblers, testers and packers, also offers opportunities. The radio industry rests largely on the avail- ability of trained workers, since the present low price levels are made pos- sible only through the utmost efficiency in production. In the production of radio tubes, for instance, highly special- ized workers have been developed by the industry. Capable works managers and foremen are also in demand. A reflection of the rigid requirements of radio production is to be found out in the field, where radio products are in- stalled in homes and kept in operation by service men. The service man is a recognized factor in the radio industry. He safeguards the reputation of the radlo manufacturer. Radlo training ac- | quired either in a resident radio school or through a reliable correspondence school is essential for a career in radio servicing. Opportunities Are Many. In every branch of radio merchandis- ing—production, jobbing and retailing— there are many opportunities for those who are capable, honest and ambitious. However, business experience must be suprlemented by some knowledge of radio technique in & successful radio merchandising_ career. Radio operating, or the communica- tion phase of radio, is the oldest branch of the radio art. With thousands of radio equipped ships, there is a constant demand for trained men. The remark- -D. C, FRIDAY, able growth of our American world-wide wireless service to practically every civilized country in the world has brought many opportunities. Radio operating may be mastered within six months. While it is possible for the student to teach himself, the process is lengthy and sometimes dis- couraging. On the other hand, the highly developed correspondence courses, and better still. the resident radio schools, train men in the simplest, most pleasant and quickest manner for the much-coveted radio operator's license. In the fleld of broadcasting radio of- fers opportunities ranging from the an- nouncing of programs to microphone performances, and again to planning, selling and ~directing the programs. Radio broadcasting needs artistic talent, constantly seeks that talent, and show- ers its rewards on those who meet with the approval of the public. Radio is a force applicable to & wide variety of present-day activities. Hence, if selected as a life's work, there is no telling where the decision may lead in position and financial rewards.
