TWO RESOLUTIONS PROVIDE FOR BROADCASTING OF SENATE BUSINESS
There is apparently a sudden desire on the part of the Senate to broadcast its proceedings. This was disclosed by two resolutions introduced the first, by Senator Howell, of Nebraska, and the second, by Senator Dill, of Washington.
Senator Howell's resolution read as follows:
’’Resolved, That a special select committee of three Senators, to be appointed by the President of the Senate, is authorized and directed to investigate the practicability of broadcasting proceed¬ ings of the United States Senate, and to report to Congress as soon as practicable the results of such investigation.

This resolution was objected to by Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, but it is believed that the objection is temporary.
Senator Dill introduced this resolution:
’’Resolved, That the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate is hereby directed at as early a date as practicable, to equip the Senate Chamber with the proper electrical connections to which microphones for radio broadcasting may be attached, and also to install microphones, control switchboards, and all other apparatus necessary for connection of microphones with any broadcasting sta¬ tion or stations for the purpose of broadcasting speeches, debates or proceedings of the Senate as may be decided from time to time by the Senate Committee on Rules, and the necessary expense for such installation of electrical connections and equipment and for the maintenance and operation of the same is hereby authorized to be paid out of the contingent fund of the Senate.
’’The Committee on Rules of the Senate is hereby authorized to make arrangements for the broadcasting of such proceedings of the Senate as the committee may determine through such radio broadcasting stations as it may be possible to arrange for broadcasting without expense to the Senate or the Government. "
The Dill resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules.
