ADVOCATES INDEPENDENT BROADCASTING FOUNDATION
O. H. Caldwell, in connection with an editorial in the July issue of Radio Retailing, advocating an independent endowed broadcasting foundation, has issued the following statement:
"A vision of broadcasting as a great endowed institution, lifed to new heights of public service and forever free of govern¬ mental, political or industrial interference, is a logical sequel to the announcement of the $250,000,000 Rockefeller Radio City in New York.
"Eventually, the radio industry will want to step out of broadcasting, leaving the vast machinery of air entertainment to an independent Broadcasting Foundation, supervised by a committee of outstanding citizens, representing all shades of opinion.
"Such an outcome would take the great political and educational power of broadcasting out of the hands of the 1 radio trust. * It would also preclude the future possibility of the public paying tax on receiving sets to defray the costs of radio programs, as has recently been proposed by those who would have the government take over the production and distribution of the nation* s air entertainment. It would mean that radio broadcast¬ ing could go ahead to new and lofty levels of service, untrammelled by financial restrictions or control by any industrial group and free from interference from politicians and pettifoggers exerted through present channels. It would make radio broadcasting wholly independent and free, responsible only to the service of the public without any other consideration whatever."

W0RC, WORCESTER, JOINS COLUMBIA
Another link has been added to the New England network, headed by WNAC, with the addition of Station WORC, at Worcester, of which Ted Hill is the Manager. In addition to taking many of the commercial programs of WNAC, this station will also handle the programs of Columbia until other arrangements are made.
With the addition of WORC, this New England network, which is in reality a daytime chain using Columbia programs at night, numbers five stations, WNAC, Boston, WEAN, Providence,
WLBZ, Bangor, WORC, Worcester, and WNBH, in New Bedford. The New Bedford station takes only the daytime programs of WNAC and has not yet been added to Columbia.
