MICROPHONIC NAB CONVENTION PICKUPS
Perhaps the first time the nation' s Chief Executive ever took cognizance of radio advertising was when President Roosevelt, in the course of a message addressed to the broad¬ casters at Cincinnati, said:
i!I am not unmindful of another benefit which radio gives all the people and to all classes of business. That is a stimulation of buying power and its assistance to commerce generally . "
"The attitude of the Cincinnati newspapers towards the Broadcasters' Convention bore out pretty much what I said about the press omitting certain types of news", Senator Dill, of Washington said. "I didn't expect them to print my speech but I was amazed that they should ignore the presence in Cincinnati of the broadcasters of the nation. "
There was enthusiastic praise for Phil Loucks, of the NAB, and his hardworking assistants at the convention, Miss Bert Seibert and E. V. "G-ene" Coagley. Through their conscientious efforts, they unquestionably made many friends for the Association.
L. B. Wilson, of WCKY, Covington, Ky. , was quoted as saying, "I've seen people writing shorthand, but Stanley Hubbard of KSTP, St. Paul, is the only one I ever heard talk it."
Darrell V. Martin, Radio Editor of the Pittsburgh PostGazette , said that as the result of the ballots which he had sent out recently, he (Martin) had been elected President of the National Radio Editors' Association; Charles Gilchrest, of the Chicago Daily News , and Norman Siegel, Cleveland Press , VicePresidents; Robert Stephan, Cleveland Plain Dealer , Secretary and Treasurer, and Yank Taylor, of the Chicago Time s , Chairman of the Board.
