HOUSE RADIO COMMITTEE WILL HAVE NEW CHAIRMAN Heads of Other Congress Groups in Charge of Wireless Legis- lation to Change. ‘When the first Congress of the Roose- velt administration convenes new faces will be at the helm of the committees in charge of radio leglislation. Chair- man Couzens of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee will yield to a Democragic_successor and Democratic Chairman Davis of the House Radio Committee, & Tennessee lame duck. will yleld to the next in line by seniority. Senator Dill of Washington, co-author of the original radio law and prime mover in all radio legislation since it was enacted in 1927, can have the In- terstate Commerce post if he wants t. By seniority it goes to Senator Smith of South Carolina, or Senate Pittman of Nevada. But Senator Smith has in- dicated he will take the chairmanship of the Committee on Agriculture, and | Senator Pittman, slat:d for President pro tempore of the Senate, is expected to take over the important Foreign Rela- tions Committee from Senator Borah. Senator Dill has told inquirers that, much as he would like to take the job, he will probably have to refuse it. He is up for re-election in two years and is busy preparing .a bill to revamp the Radio Commission into a Communica- tions Commission regulating the tele- graphs and telephones as well as radio. He is not favorable toward the idea contained in the Rayburn bill in the House to include in this commission also the regulation of interstate power. On the House side the chairmanship of the Committee on Merchant Marine, Radio and Fisheries falls to Represent- ative Bland of Hampton, Va., who will probably take it. The retiring chair- man, Representative Davis, has been mentioned for the Federal Trade Com- mission for the chief counselship of the Radio Commission or the unexpired term of Senator from Tennessee avail- able for appointment by the Governor of that State because of the appoint- ment of Senator Hull as Roosevelty Secretary of State. Geneva and Nanking Linked. The League of Nations radio station at Geneva, over which official docu- ments and communiques are being transmitted for reception throughout the world, has arranged a circuit with which to maintain direct contact with Nanking so that the Chinese delegates may confer quickly with their home government.

The results of the survey have been published by Columbia in a booklet entitled “The Flood Hits the Valleys.” The final compilation in the Columbla survey reveals that of 18,920,000 receiving sets sold from April, 1930, to January 1, 1933, there were 4,760,800 sold to homes which did not previously possess a set. The 1930 census showed that some 12 million homes were equipped with radio. The new survey adds approximately five million homes to this figure for a total of 17 million homes pos- sessing sets. E switch of WMAL to th2 N. B. C. network having left WOL the only independent station in Washington, finds Le- | roy Mark, owner, preparing to | build up the programs by devel- opment of new talent. Every talented musician and entertain- ment will be given an opportu- nity to find a niche in radio. Comedians are wanted particu- larly. “We won’t be able to use any singers,” Mr. Mark said, “be- cause we already have 288 so- pranos anxious for a chance to face the mike.” . Auditions will be given to prom- ising artists each Monday, Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday at 1 lpvm. Those displaying ability will be added to the regular pro- gram immediately. There are no | restrictions because of age or sex. “The public demands humor these days,” Mr. Mark explained. “That is why Ed Wynne, Eddie Cantor and other comedians have been commanding such large fol< lowings. We want to please the public. All of which explains {why we're trying to develop new | air clowns.” .
