King Mattress $19.95 First Purpose Is To Discover Number Of Sets, Others Are Unknown SOURCE OF CONTROVERSY By DAVID LAWRENCE Beacon Journal Special Dispatch WASHINGTON, April 26. Just why congress Inserted into the census law a question about the number of radio sets has excited a widespread curiosity comparable only to the inquiry as to what is to be done with the information once it is gathered.

The first purpose of course is to Jind iout how many radio receiving sets there are in the United States. The radio manufacturers always have wanted to know because If they could learn Just what territories are relatively lacking in sets and what territories are saturated they can tell where to concentrate their sales efforts. But It Is denied that the manufacturers really were the deciding influence for there were other commodities whose sponsors wanted to fet similar information by territories and congress didn't grant their request. Source Of Controversy It has been moreover a source of much controversy as to whether the Idea behind the census of radio sets was to discover what possible use the radio might be for the dissemination of ideas, political and otherwise. Congress is peculiarly sensitive about distribution of so-called propaganda and has always watched all agencies for the transmission of data that might, bear upon national politics.

Last year, for example, large sums were spent by the two major parties In broadcasting campaign speeches. There is still another controversy which hasn't anything to do with politics but which will absorb read ily the information on radio sets. It Is with reference to the sale of space over the air for commercial purposes. The claims as to the total number of sets In use have hitherto been dif licult to dispute any more than the probable total of listeners but with some definite data to go on an Idea will be obtained as to the size of radio "circulation." Newspapers and magazines are in the habit of submitting themselves ito periodic audit to let the purchas ers of space know their total of readers. The radio companies couldn't do it except at a prohibitive cost.

In the competition that has grown up between all the different media for reaching the public the data on radio sets will doubtless play an Important part. Not Real Motive i None of these reasons however is 'given, as the real motive of the government in asking a radio census. The official purpose announced is to the federal radio commission idetermine what territories possess large number of sets so that in i allocating wave lengths according to census population some definite data may be available on which to base any further readjustments which congress or the commission may desire. There has been talk of a tax on receiving sets but this has never been seriously advanced as a reason for the census data. There are plenty of uses for the Information and while the federal radio commission will analyze it for Its own plans the chances are the material will also be available to manufacturers and others who may see commercial value in a study of the census of radio population.
