NAEB NEWS LETTERS....Feb. 1, 1940.Page 6 One immediate project will be to determine the present status of radio as an instrument for education, whether in direct classroom use or in leisure-time home use, Chapman indicated. Place of the University in training people for the radio profession* either from a technical or a performer point of view* must be studied* he slgni- fled. "The number of ’glamorous* radio performers is so small in comparison with the number of people who go into radio work as a job ar profe¬ ssion," he emphasized* "that we must decide whether those people need professional instruction, whether adequate training is avail¬ able in Texas—and whether a University siiould offer that type of education." New statistical methods, gearing average pupil intelligent quotients to large scale testing of listening habits* will be used to measure Texas school children’s responses to radio-vitalized education. Four graduate students have already started research studies in the radio education field, one having been completed this summer, Chapman said. LITTLE EXPECTED IN CONGRESS "Broadcasters are anticipating a quiet session of Congress as far as radio legislation is concerned, although there are about fifty bills pertaining to radio in the Senate and House, there appears little prospect, according to Washington observers, that more than a half-dozen may arise to plague the broadcasters. "Reorganization of the Federal Communications Commission and resolutions demanding investigations of networks and "radio monopolies" are definitely reported dead. Copyright legislation, which has been pending before Congress several years, may have a revival. "Legislation which probably will have the best chance of enactment, observers believe, Is that designed to forbid beer and liquor advertising on the air. Such a bill is now on the Senate calendar, having been reported favorably by the Interstate Commerce Committee. "The FCC budget will be reported in the House within a few weeks by the House Appropriations Committee. "President Roosevelt in his budget message to Congress asked for $2,125,000 for total appropriations for the Federal Communications Commission for the fiscal year 1941, composed of $2,100,000 for salaries and expenses and $25,000 for printing. For the present fiscal year of 1940 the total appropriation for the commission is #1,838,175, composed of $1,800,000 for salaries and expenses, $25 9 000 for printing and $13,175 for special investigations." - New York Times, Jan. 14, 1940
