CLAIMS 56 <f0 BUSINESS GAIN FOR COLUMBIA
A letter which has been sent out by H. Boice, Sales Manager of Columbia, reads, in part, as follows:
"The gain of 56$> of volume of business for the first eleven months of 1930 over the similar period in 1929, is probably unique, among advertising media, for what has not been the best of business years,
"In words instead of figures, this means the development within three years of the largest single network in radio]
"The story behind the story the factors that have made this possible is described in several recently published folders containing basic radio information,"
The last paragraph refers to a chart showing the month by month gain, and an elaborate printed folder showing the results of the Graybar, Tydol and Robert Burns program.

LABOR AGAIN ASKS U. S. CHANNELS
Another attempt to force the Federal Radio Commission to designate three radio channels for use of Departments of the Federal Government was made in the Senate this week with the introduction of a resolution by Senator Glenn, Republican, of Illinois.
The resolution was offered in behalf of the Illinois Federation of Labor, which would remove such stations as WCFL and WLS, at Chicago, and WILL, of the University of Illinois, from com¬ petition for radio facilities with commercial stations. The depart¬ ments of Labor, Agriculture and Interior -would each be assigned a P cleared channel. The proposal was referred to the Committee on Interstate Commerce for report.

LIQUOR-SPONSORED PROGRAMS TABOO
Even radio programs sponsored by Canadian brewers and dis¬ tillers will have to be smuggled into this country if listeners in the interior of the United States are to hear them.
Col. Thad Brown, General Counsel of the Federal Radio Com¬ mission, has ruled that the relaying of such a broadcast from Windsor, Canada, by Station WMBC , of Detroit, would be illegal in that it would be a violation of the National Prohibition Act. The opinion was given in answer to a request sent to W. D. Terrell, Chief of the Radio Division of the Department of Commerce, by the Detroit station and forwarded to Col. Brown.
