Take Along Your Crosley Portable Radio Don’t miss the convention speeches and other import- ant events if you are on your vacation or week ending, take along your portable radio—the Crosley 51 will keep you in constant touch. A real 2-tube set, contain- ing tubes, batteries and phones—all in a compact case, smaller than a suit case. A gigantic radlo net of transmit- ting stations is being developed throughout the United States which will eventually connect every city and town and practically every houschold, as far as reception alone concerned. Under the supervision of the Department of Commerce, this means of disseminating important in- formation, especially in times of emergency, would reach more Indi- vidunis than there are telephone sub- scribers and a larger number than the combined newspaper readers of the nation. For transmission alone it would link up more radio stations than there are telegraph stations, and, considering that they would broadeast, the distribution would he available to all owners of radlo sets —almost to every citizen. The opers tlon of this net would be instantan. ous and direct to all parts of the country. Secretary Hoover's ndmn- istration of matters radio would be broadencd to the republic at large in any hour of need This proposed radio net is partially in operation today, of course, with the number of broadcasting stations now in every state increasing each week, and fans estimated anywhere between 5,000,000 and 20,000,000. But, desplte its growth, the present system only transmits news and entertain- ment at scheduled intervals. What the government wants ultimately is & system that in emergencles, such as the declaration of war. the call to arms of the nation’s man power or the disruption of continental com- munications and trafc could call upon all transmitt tations to take the air either loc by dis- trict groups or throughout if n- try simultaneousiy and handle traflic Details of such a gigantic scheme. the like of which has never been ai- tempted anywhere, are already being worked out by the Department of Commerce, with the close co-opera- tion of all radio interests. The germ of the idea was started at the ama- teurs’ convention in Chicmgo last fall, when representatives of their organi- zations offered to co-operate with u railroads when regular communica- tion systems failed. This work has already gone in to the test stage. In several instances operating amateurs have aided in the transmission of railway messages successfully. The American Radio League has appointed a commit work out details. The league co-operated with the Pennsylvania system between the Atlantic seaboard und the Mississippi River recently in un emergency test, to the gratification of the gencral su- perintendent of legraph. Oth railway systems have declared their desire to establish such an amateur radio auxiliary system, in antici tion of a failure of their wire com- munications or the need for addi- tional terminal and receiving stutions along their rights of way The activities of between 17.000 and 15,000 licensed amateurs, all owning ' listed transmission stations and all code operators, are only one phase of the general scheme of iink- ing radio nationally. Most of the telegraph and telephone systems of the country are wiiling to co-operate if the need arises, but some of them declare that intérruptions in their established lines of communication are s infrequent that the necessity of using radio as an auxiliary necded Army officers in charge of the military radio net which handles governmental radio traffic throughout the country say that they couid tie- in with the amateurs in a very shor: time to aid in reaching mun:ties Iying outside the dio traffic lines #nd smaller nets in their corp Naval Communication Service is in close touch with amateur activities. The research section is working with amateurs on short-wave transmission with remarkable results. The radio section of the Depart- ment of ommerce and its nine dis- PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION trict supervisors, stationed in Boston, New York, Baltimore, Atlanta, New Orleans, San Francisco, Seattle, De- troit and Chicago, is attempting to co-ordinate the various elements of the proposed national radio net. The Post Office, Agricultural Department and the Army and Navy are also In- terested. Not long ago the chief supervisor of radlo sent communic tions to all fleld supervisors direci- ing them to make a survey of radio facilities in their districts, ascertain- ing the possibilities of hooking up all stations In an emergency, and the attitude of the business, rail- way, communication and other inte ests. Replien received from prac- tically every district show that the &m: teurs, manufacturers, broadcasters, rail- ways, newspapers, civic interests, and even the telegraph and telephone com- panies, are ready to co-operate. Many of them are anxious to test our proposed plans in an effort to establish a reliable secondary o1 emergency communication system The Commerce Department has authorized both amateurs and broad- casters to transmit on assigned wave lengths in emergencies, under the di- rection of their district supervisors It is even suggested that licenses of stations where operators are on duty specify that the transmitter must be held in readiness to serve the community or other interests in the event of public need. Probably Supervisor Beane of the ninth district, with offices in Chicago, has gotten farther along in his dis- trict ~ than in any other section of the country. He has not only se- cured the co-operation of practically all radio stations throughout the middle west, but has had several praciical demonstrations indicating the #id of such a voluntary radio service. Recently he called a con- ference on the subject, at which rey rosentatives of il bran the art and industrs wete present He re- poris that amatcurs stund ready to handle two-way communication for railways; broadcasters voluntecred 1o Serve as point-to-point Stations using CW. co-operating with amateurs for delivery of messages, It was sug- gested that press dispatches be han- dled by voice for localities not lined up for code point-to-point rransms- ston. Many broadcast statiores which found their receiving equipmant un- suitable have since installed better receivers and means for ysing CW on emergency code work. Authority has been granted, and plans for inter- communication tests of high-powcred broadcasters of the ninth district are being formulated to study their re- liability in both night and day trans- mission Co-operation of all interests is r ported from Seattle, New York, At- lanta and Baltimore superviso where districi emergency organiza- tions are being formed ~ The ciatd Press and the United have expressed considerable interest through their desires to supply news- paper clients with current news when regular lines of distribution fail. De- tails of a general national plan. with special local provisions, are being de- veloped by the radio section of the commerce department at Washington. One of the subjects to be taken up by this summer's radio conference will be emergency work.
