RADIO CONFERENCE
SPEEDY ELECTION OF OFFICERS
AMERICAN METHODS CRITICISED
Washington, October 5. Foreign delegates attending the International Radio Conference expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the rapidity with which the officers were elected. Mr. Hoover’s election as president. by acclamation was accomplished so rapidly that many delegates were unaware of what had happened until Mr Hoover began his speech in acceptance of the office. Then Mr. Hoover swiftly announced various other tentative appointments. After the session closed the corridors buzzed with excited conversations in half-a-dozen different languages, and delegates warmly expressed their views regarding the rapidity of American methods. They declared that the rules of international courtesy would prevent the raising of objections to making these tentative appointments permanent.
