4) Samier Broskhurt Naks Pro- posal o Aid Broadcasters Washlngton, May 10 UP—A sug- gostion that a amall tax be levied on redie recelving sets (o bear the breadcasting costs was made today by Senator Breokhart, republican, Jowa, before the senate interstatc cemmerce commission Which is c _ sidering & °bill to group radio, tele- graph, telephone and cable com- munication under one governmental Brookhart also inquired of Louis G. Caldwell, former general coun- el of the radio commission who ap- poarcd a3 a witness, whether there was “any reason why the govern. ment ceuld not take over the whole broadcasting business.” “No,” the witness answered, ex- plaining there were no legal diffi- culties in the way. The question of censorship of ad- vertising over the air also arose when Chairman Couzens, author of the bill, referred to “the propriety” | of advertising recently sent out by a cigarette manufacturer. “Should broadcasters be permit. ted to encourage the use of cigar- ettes in the home?” he asked. “Those question: Caldwell an- | awered, “will be decided by the pub- lic. In renewing licenses for broad- casting, the commission has the dis- cretion of considering past per- formance of the stations, and for the present, at least, that seems to be a sufficient safeguard.” Caldwell added that it costs the larger stations from $200,000 to $400,000 annually to erate for | which the receiver pays nothing. “The expense,” he said, “must be borne by revenue from advertising.” “The only excuse, then for adver. | tising,” said Senator Pittman, demc- crat, Nevada, "is the revenue.” Pittman suggested there are other “things of so much greater educi- tional value that the public probably will find a way to obtain them in place of advertising.” “Unlesa you tax receiving sets,” he said, “the commission must be al- lowed to draw the line as between &ood and bad features of programs Lroadcast.” 8enator Dill, democrat, Washing- ton, expressed the opinion that the taxing proposal would “have to travel & long road’™ before it could be enacted into law. “It would run into constant diffi- culties,” Caldwell agreed. Benator Wagner, dejocrat. New York, asked whether the radio com- mission had “‘pawer to inquire into the kind of programs presented.” ~I think it has,” Caldwell replied. A HORSE london.
