Mr. Kuhn is introducing an innovation in the National Radio Forum.
"From time to time we plan to interview leading public officials over the air", he said. "In this way the speakers will have direct questions put to them, ques¬ tions which will serve to clarify issues which may otherwise be somewhat complicated."

NO '"'SONS OF WILD JACKASSES" FOR RADIO
No doubt when Senator Moses, of New Hamp¬ shire, was offered $15,000 a year for a weekly broadcast of Congressional comment, the sponsors expected there might be frequent comments such as "sons of the wild jackass". However, even with so brilliant a Senator as Moses, such a characteriza¬ tion may come but once in a life time. Nevertheless, Sene, tor Moses would be a welcome addition to the field of political commentators .
At the present time, only two Senators are regularly heard on the air. Senator Copeland specializes on health talks (and gets paid for it), while Senator Arthur Cap¬ per discusses agricultural topics mostly (end doesn't get paid for it) .
Senator Moses, if he went on the air, would be expected to hurl the harpoon. So doubtless he was quite right when he remarked that if he remained in the Senate he couldn't say what he thought over the radio without trespassing on delicate territory, and that if he did not say what he thought his views "wouldn't be worth a nickel".

SEES THAD BROW AS ROBINSON'S SUCCESSOR
The two-year term of Commissioner Ira E. Robinson, former chairman of the Federal Radio Commission, will expire Feb. 23, and the impression prevails that Thad Brown, of Ohio, general counsel of the commission, will be named his successor, according to Leo R. Sack, Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Post (Scr ipps-Howard) .
"Robinson, a former chief justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court, was reappointed by President Hoover two years ago when it appeared that a group of senators would block confirmation of the entire commission if Robinson's name was not included in the re-organized group", Mr. Sack writes.
