—..—« WHOSE MONOPOLY? CONFERENCE IN AMERICA. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Oct. 9, 10.55 a.m NEW YORK, Oct! 8. AVill radio in America become a Government monopoly or fall into the hands of a big corporation, or become an advertising medium in- competition with, newspapers? These and numerous other questions in connection with the future of broadcasting are being discussed at a conference called by Mr. Hoover and at-r tended by radio leaders from all over the continent. • Mr. Hoover has an idea that the virtual control of the air should rest with an association something like the news associations ' serving newspapers. Mr. Hoover believes local broadcasters are essential, and he opposes both Government and corporation monopoly. One great radio corporation disagreed with the Hoover policy. Its spokesman proposed to erect super control stations of fifty kilowatts that would directly serve many millions of people and often reach the entire continent, eliminating many small stations.
