Official Report.

At the convention in 1926, Synod took over Station KFUO and
gratefully accepted the noble and Senerous offer of the L.L. I, to
rebuild and maintain KFUO at the new Seminary and Placed the
control of the station in the hands of the Board of Control of Con-

and L.H. Waltke to share the responsibility of the operation of
KFUO, which had become the Property of Synod, with the other
members of the Radio Committee, consisting at that time of the fol-
lowing members of the Board of Control of Concordia Seminary:
Dean J.H.0.F ritz, Prof. W. A. Maier, Rev. R. Kretzschmar, and Mr.
A.G. Brauer. In March, 1928, Rev. L. J. Sieck, member of the Sem-
inary Board, was chosen as a member of the Radio Committee to take
the place of Rev. R. Kretzschmar, who was obliged to resign from

Committee of seven men has faithfully served since 1926 as Board of
Directors of KFUO, has rendered, through the undersigned, a monthly

auch as possible, of all work in connection with KFUO.

After the L. L. L. had appropriated $50,000 for the new KFUO
plant and $12,000 for the annual running expenses, the Radio Com-
mittee immediately proceeded with the erection of a new, 1,000-watt
