REED DEMANDS PENNSYLVANIA » S QUOTA
Declaring that unless Pennsylvania is given "its proper quota of broadcasting stations", the matter will be carried "to the President, the press, and, if necessary, to Congress", Senator Reed (Republican), of Pennsylvania, informed the Federal Radio Commission in a letter just made public.
The letter follows the publication of figures by the Commission, on the basis of the unit tabulation, showing that Pennsylvania is the most under-quota State in the Union in the distribution of broadcasting facilities. It lacks 8.9 units of the 19.25 to which it i6 entitled by the Commission’s own admission
Senator Reed says in part:
"I would like to have a general statement from the Radio Commission with respect to broadcasting stations in Erie, Johnstown Lancaster and Reading, Pa. Fhese four stations in particular have endeavored from time to time to have their power increased.
"In the central part of the State particularly, broad¬ casting programs and conditions have been highly unsatisfactory for many months. There are perhaps a dozen counties which are unable at the present time to get good programs from any station. This condition is made worse by the action of the Commission in dividing the time between Station WBAL, in Baltimore, and a station in Hartford, Conn.
