8/4/39 FUNDS FOR RADIO CONFERENCES REFUSED BY HOUSE The House this week refused to appropriate ^30,000 to pay the expenses of American delegates to radio conferences in Santiago, Chile, and Stockholm, Sweden, next year, but it is probable that it will do so es.rly in the next session. The State Department asked $16,000 to send ten persons to the second InterAmerican Radio Conference at Santiago and $14,000 for the expenses of nine persons to the International Radio Consulting Committee on Radio parley in Stockholm on June 25, 1940. Members of the Committee, by their questions, indicated they are disturbed by the frequency and variety of international radio conferences. Chairman Woodrum, of the Deficiency SubCoram it tee, com¬ mented on the fact that the same countries participate in all of the conferences. "You have six or eight meetings scattered all over the country", he commented, "and the same countries participate, and it seems to me you could divide up the subject matter and have the meeting at one place. " Harvey B. Otteraian, Chief of the Division of Interna¬ tional Communications, replied that this is not possible. "They tried to do that at Cairo", he said, "and came to the conclusion that all of the problems could not be satisfactorily handled. For example, aeronautical radio is just one field. There are so many phases entering into these world conferences that to undertake to pin them down to all details of any one particular phase or for restricted areas is usually difficult. " xxxxxxxxx RADIO SET EXPORTS SET NEW HIGH FOR JUNE Exports of radio receiving sets components by this country rose to a new high of $466,591 for the month of June, Secretary of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins announced this week. This compares with the May figure of $368,913. The export of radio receiving set tubes rose from $237,465 to $277,170 during the same period. XXXXXXXX 4
