BILL WOULD RESTRICT CHAIN OWNERSHIP OF STATIONS
The introduction of a new radio bill which would limit the number of radio stations which a chain may own is being considered by Senator C. C. Dill (Dem. ) of Washington, Mr. Dill said that he does not object to the chain programs but does object to the owner¬ ship of the stations by the various chains, holding that they are destroying local broadcasting.
Letters from various parts of the country, he said, indicate that the listeners would rather pay a fee than keep on with the present broadcasting situation.

CANADIAN RADIO PROBE CONTINUES
Further inquiry into Canadian radio broadcasting, as to whether it will be under private or public control, will be made by a parliamentary committee, Premier Bennett told the House of Commons at Ottawa, Wednesday.
Bennett added that present radio conditions were "not satis¬ factory" and that the recent action of the Privy Council in vesting control of radio with the Cominion left the government free to institute such measures as might appear practicable.
The objective of further inquiry, he said, was "to devise a scheme that would be unexcelled" in broadcasting.
