BROADCASTING DIVISION ORGANIZES
The Broadcasting Division of the Communications Commis¬ sion did little more than to organize at its first meeting last Wednesday (July 18). It is composed of Hampson Gary, Chairman, who is understood simply to be filling the position until Representative Prall is appointed to the place when his Congres¬ sional term expires January 1st, Col. Thad Brown, Vice-Chairman, and Judge E. 0. Sykes, No light was thrown on who was to be selected as Director of Broadcasting.

With regard to announcing additional personnel of the Commission itself, it was said that there would be no blanket or sweeping changes but that the appointments would be announced as decisions were reached from time to time.

There appears to be some question as to whether or not Dr. C. B. Jolliffe will be reappointed as Chief Engineer of the Commission, His friends confidently predict that he will pull through but the Commissioners in whose hands his fate rests are silent with regard to the matter. There seems to be a feeling that Dr. Jolliffe, because of his outstanding technical qualifi¬ cations, will be taken care of, but exactly how, no one appears to be certain.
