DILL BACKS CROSLEY PLAN
Senator C. C. Dill, of Washington, co-author of the radio la?;, has announced his support of the plan of the Crosley Re,dio Corporation to rebroadcast educational programs to colleges and universities via short wave from Cincinnati and probably Washington.
Although no formal application for permission has been made, the Federal Radio Commission let it be known that it did not approve of the proposal and that such rebroadcasting would, in fact, be a violation of the General Order which permits Crosley* s short wave station, W8XAL, to engage in the interchange of foreign pro¬ grams only.
Explaining that he acted entirely on his own initiative, Senator Dill said: "I know of no higher interest to which radio can be put. "
