WILL COMMISSION BE TRANSFERRED BACK TO COMMERCE DEPT?
In view of President Hoover's statement that he has under consideration further consolidations and groupings in the dif¬ ferent government departments, in addition to the sweeping changes advocated last week, there is conjecture as to whether or not the President may recommend sending the Federal Radio Commission hack to the Department of Commerce. Up to the present, however, there are no indications that he has the Radio Commission in mind in these mergers.

XXXXXXXXXX RADIO CONFERENCE IN MADRID CLOSES
President Alcala Zamora closed the International Radio and Telegraph Conference, which had been working on technical differences in world's communication systems since early in September, on Friday, December 9th. On Saturday the delegates, who are from nearly every country and colony, will sign a general convention and sets of regulations for radio, telephone and telegraph. The United States delegates signed the radio regula¬ tions only.
Very little change was made in the regulations of the Washington convention of 1927, the sharp differences among all nations on vital questions having made it impossible to iron out the difficulties, particularly in broadcasting.
Radio interference between Russia and Europe and the granting of four broadcasting bands asked by the United States were among the unsolved problems. The most important develop¬ ment in this field was the decision to hold a conference in Switzerland before June, and a tacit understanding for the hold¬ ing of a conference of delegates frcm the United States, Mexico, Canada and Cuba.
Aviation wireless received greater recognition in wave allotments and the space between 2300 and 3000 kilocycles, hither¬ to unused, was made available to the United States for short¬ wave broadcasting. More space was made available for
European long-wave broadcasting, due to restrictions of shipto-shore signals, which, however, will not make it necessary for 15,000 ships to change their apparatus.
Cairo was the only city proposed for the 1936 confer¬ ence. The American delegates will sail for New York on the liner Manhattan on Thursday, December 15.
