18,027 members is forging ahead in
a nation-wide campaign to make
1926 the greatest membership year

This department had attained 35.15
per cent of its quota. according to
membership returns on the books of
the national treasurer on March 15.
In accordance with the national
membership program. the depart-
ment quotas for 1926 were set con-
siderably in excess of their 1920 to-
tal membership figure.
Florida was the first department
to surpass its quota, going “over the
top" in quota on March 11.

NEED OF TIMES
Judge Davis, of Com-
merce Department,
Hopes Congress Will
Act On This Point.
“The great need of radio todnyn—
so far as legislation is concerned—w
‘ihc interest of the listener."
This is the Opinion of
Stephen ll. Davis. solicitor for the
Department of Commerce and prob-
ably the country's leading authority
on the legal side of radio.
' The need he points out will he
met, it is believhd, if Congress
passes the White bill now pending
for the regulation or radio. The
House of Representatives already
has given its approval to the hill.
and action by the Senate is await-
('d.
it tho bill is enacted, it will he
the first important change in regu-
lations since 1912. it is urged that
radio has grow so tremendously
and that conditions have changed so
cmnplcicly that revision of the old
'lI‘l, is essential.
’ The secretary of commerce under
thr- pronoscd measure. as before,
uould be the government's radio
supervisor. His powers would be in-
creased. There would be created
also a federal radio commission,
consisting of five members from
different parts of the country. to
decide radio problems referred to it
and to review the secretary's rul-
ings as to licensing of stations.
Two Important Changes.
“There are two principal changes.
of great importance, which the bill
Would make." says Judge Davis.
"In the first place’ it would give
the secretary the right. to refuse an
application for. license for a broad-
casting station. In the second place
, it reverses the policy of the old law
which says that anybody who wish-
es may broadcast and it says the
public interest comes first
"A court decision now holds that
the secretary must issue a license
and assign a wavelength to any ap-
plicant without discretion.
“The range of broadcasting wave—
lengths is only from 200'to 650 me-
ters. There are only 89 different
wavelengths within these limits.
making allowance for necessary in-
tervais. .
Legally the secretary maybe re-
quired to amign a wavelength
‘NW'MM‘W tactically he
is llks Old Mother Hubbard. The
cupboard is bare.
. "There are 536 stations in the
United States. The wavelengths are
assigned with regard to geographi-
cal separation and times of broad.
carIting'eo as to avoid conflict as far
as possible.
"With the conferring of discre-
tionary power to license. the secre-
tary can more effectively prevent
congestion in the atmosphere. It is
not expected he. will withdraw ll-
censcs from existing stations. but
he can avoid further overcrowding.
Public Comes First.
"The bill's second important fea-
ture is that it places radio.somc-

necessity! This means that in decid-
ing which applicants shall be li-
censed to broadcast, the decision
will go to the one which will offer
the most to the public. "
Opponents of the bill criticize it
for its alleged failure to deal with
the "radio monopoly." The principal
monopoly in radio, it is admitted. is
in the manufacture and sale of parts
~particularly. tubes-and that is
based upon patent rights.
There is no certainty yet that the
bill will be enacted at the present
session. The Senate has not taken
the some interest as the house in
radio during previous sessions. But '
it is highly probable that the radio
law which must come eventually
will embody many of the provisions
of the present bill.
