Work of organizing the National
Radio Club goes forward in Washing
ton. where It is explained that this or
ganization is to be a club, independent
of other affiliations, which in no way
will parallel the work of, or interfere
with, the activities of other radio
broadcast associations. The member
ship will be chiefly made up of broad
casting stations, active and proposed.
Commenting on the organization, a
representative said recently that the
first of the 12 managers had been se
lected. Russel Conklin of Spokane,
Wash., will represent the Northwest
ern district. The other 11 are being
chosen from other quarters of the
! country, so that a representative
board of managers will be secured.
Mr. Conklin is well informed on radio
matters, having, until recently, been
associated with .Senator Dill of Wash
ington. the author of the Senate radio
j hill. He is now planning to enter busi
| ness in Spokane.
Although club quarters in the Xa
j tion's Capital have not yet been se-
I leeted. a broadcast studio with indi
) vidual booths will be included, to
! gether with a switchboard capable of
connecting the microphones with
trunk telephone or telegraph lines to
distant stations. The idea is to have
facilities for broadcasting, through
cither a local or distant station, so
that a member may address his listen
ers directly from the Capital City,
j Speeches or talks by members of Con
j gress or other governmental officials
may be similarly transmitted whrn
| ever they are desired by a member
i station.
