WASHINGTON. Feb. 28. -The
radio listener's mlllenium Is fast
approaching, thanks to passage of
radio legislation for regulation of
the air.
He will be able to tune in on a
station to enjoy a lecture, syni-
phony concert or Jazz band'with-
out being oombarded with howls,
shrieks and other Jumbled noises.
Clear reception is promised by
Herbert Hoover, secretary of com-
merce, under whose supervision
an authorized radio commission
will operate.
This ideal couditiou will not j
appear Immediately, however, ac-
cording to tne secretary, who says
■'the new commission which is to
determine who shall have licenser
to broadcast, at what times and
with what power, will no doubt
require months to make regulation
of broadcasting stations. It will
require tome patience on the part
of the radio listeners, while the
commission works out the pro-
gram."
He added, however, that the
completion of the legislation
makes it possible eventually to
clear up the "chaos of interfer-
ence and howls in radio recep-
tion.”
The work of the commission
will be complicated, for there arc
today 18,119 radio sending sta-
tions. including 733 for public
entertainment and information.
Passage of the radio act auto-
matically terminates all existing
licenses for radio transmission
and no new licenses can be issued
and no action can be taken on ap-
plications now pending until
formation of the commission.
President Coolidge's nominations
for the body are expected In a few
days.
