SENATOR ODDIE, A ‘BOOSTER”
Quietly and unheralded aside from a brief dispatch.
Senator Tasker Lowndes Oddie of Nevada, accompa
nied by Mrs. Oddie, will arrive in Seward tomorrow
to view The Alaska Railroad through the eyes of a mem
ber of the Congressional Committee appointed to study
communication and transportation. He will be with us
two weeks but, judging from his interview at Juneau
which appears in today’s paper, Alaskans wish he and
Mrs. Oddie would remain permanently.
In Senator Oddie. Alaska has a strong, sympa
thetic friend at court—Washington; one who under
stands.
EXCESS OF BROADCASTING
The Federal Radio Commission finds existant
what it denominates an excess of braodcasting. The
phiase free as the air” seems indeed to have lost some
of its force. A reader can make his own selection from a
newspaper, but with the average radio set there is of
ten no relief for the listener who has to put up with
overlapping discourses on garden seed when he prefers
the iainter background program of fiddling.
