Boris, Struggling With English, Talks to Microphone, NEW YORK, February 5—Many radio fans have decided that the Grand Duke Boris may be worth ad- justing the dials in case he appears before the “mike” again. He made his radio debut at WOR last night in a five-minute talk on his impressions of America. His impressions were more or less generalities, but what the radio fans talked about today were his pro- nunclation of the name of the sta- tion as if it were the word for armed strife between nations and his audible pauses between sentences —prolonged “ahems,” like the sound of an electric zenerator. He ex- pressed the opinion that the radio would make for international peace. THEODORE H. BOICE DIES. Pittsburgh Newspaper Man Began Career in 1881 on Telegraph.

BY JAMES H. COLLINS. The station director would have becn horrified, 2 year ago, at the sug- gestion that he invite either a promi- nent fundamentalist or modernist to express his beliefs in this great re- liglous controversy of the moment, speaking from the studio. At that time letters would probably have poured in, charging him with par- tisanship. But when WJZ installed a microphone outside to broadcast = great modernist-fundamentalist st tion’s program instead of blame there was praise for WJZ's enterprise in letting the vast radlo audlence hear both sides of the controversy stated by guthoritative leaders. Radio de- batés of other controversial ques- tion, like prohibition, have also brought warm commendation from lis- teners. Station Is Thanked. Generally, correspondents thank the station for giving both sides a fair hearing, and there {s a feeling that debates bring such questions out into the open, and take from them the susplolon of propaganda. And as in 2 public hall, so on the air, the skill- ful debate has all the interest of a §00d horse race or prize fight. If radio ocensorship comes, what form will it take? Probably the same form as prohibi- tlon, censorship of moving pictures, the war on cigarettea and tobacco— the usual “anti” tactics. That is, ad- vocates of censorship will find it ler to secure the passage of local State laws than a Federal law, and there are pretty certain to be ‘com- munities where prejudice can be aroused and pressure brought upon State legislators or city fathers. About 15 per cent of the broadcast- ing stations In the United States are owned and operated by religious bod- fes, many of which use them for ex- ploiting “thelr particular brands of doctrines. Here, for example, is Wil- bur Glenn Vollva, of the “Latter Day Saints,” whose station WCBD is used for preaching that the world is flat and other strange tenets. Should such stations be restricted in thelr use of the ether? Whether he is a clty official, a State committes, or a Federal bureau, the radlo censor will have a somewhat peculiar job. Putting the local “Thou shalt not” upon a book or moving dicture is simple In comparison, be- cause these are tangible things—they can be held in the hand, read or run off on the screen, and duly censored. But where are the State lines in radto? Where would the international line be if we had Federal censorship, and Havana, Montreal or Mexico City wanted to bootleg unlawful material Into the United States? Yes, London, Vienna, Moscow and Calcutta—for world-wide broadcasting and recep- tion will undoubtedly be commonplace by 1930. It will be easy enough for the censor to slt in the local broad- casting studlo and pass upon the pro- gram—but will there be a radio cen- sor at every public dinner, political oconvention and broadcast event of every kind? 5 Radio has been burdened with a censorship problem that isn't really its own, because it broke in upon a perplexed world. As the world geins in sweetness and light, thé problem may disappear. Censorship has already been official- 1y applied to radio in the allotment of wavelengths and the supervision of the Federal Government to prevent interference. That, however, was gcen- sorship of the best kind, the adopNon of rules by those interested In the in- dustry. The next step in censorship will probably be the elimination of squealing sets. And it can likewise be brought about through teamwork in_the industry. But outside censorship will be advo- cated as well, and it behooves the ra- dio audience and the radio industry to fight it, by safeguarding the con- stitutlonal Tight of free speech—and by voluntary inside censorship that will abolish grounds for the other side.

ER- HARDT. The air-line distances follow: San An- tonio, 1,386 miles; Hastings, 1,138; Denver, 1,489, and Honolulu, 4,839, Radio Editor: Wishing to fill up a few empty spaces on my log I would like to know the wave length and distance from Wash- ington of the following stations: WDBH, Worcester, Mass.; WBBG, Mattapoisett, Mass.; WGBA, Baltimore, Md.: WTAR, Norfolk, Va., and WQAN, Scranton, Pa. Also please tell me where 3AKY, 3BWT and 3AFO are located —C. R. EAGLE. WDBH transmits on_a -meter wave. Its distance from Washington is 857 miles. The wave used by WBBG is 205.4 meters. Mattapolsett is 396 miles fyom Washington. WGBA'S wave is 254 eters. The air-line distance from Washington to Baltimore is 33 miles ‘The wave used by WTAR is 261 meters. Norfolk is 147 miles from Washington. WQAN transmits on a 250-meter wave. Scranton is 187 miles from Washington. BAKY and 3BWT are local amateur sta- tions, 3AFO is an amateur station in Merchantville, N. J. Radio Editor: What station when broadcasting Sunday evening counted 1, 2, 3 and 4 before and after announcement? The wave length was. between 316 and 320 meters. What is the call of the Kimball Hall studios, broadcast- ing Sunday night on a wave band between 448 and 455 meters’—P. L. RICKER. Some of the fans may be able to answer your query. Radlo Editor: Sunday night I heard from Prov- idence, R. I, as near I could under- stand WDW, broadcasting from Mr. ‘Wilcox's residence. The program in- cluded an organ recital and recita- tions. Kindly let me know the exact call letters and address through your eolumn, The station signed off ab' questions: 1s | ‘ | 1 may ada to give an idea of equip- 6:48 p.m. It was on about 410 meters. —WILLIAM T. CHARLES. WDWF s the station you heard. The station is located in Cranston, R. I, but broadcasts from Provi dence. Its wave band is 440.9 meters, Radio Editor: Could some radio fan tell me what station was broadcasting a talk on California and its opportunities Sun- day morning at about 12:30 o'clock. 1 could hear the talk plain, but the call letters were lost, due to code interference.—F. G, L. KF1, Los Angeles, broadcast a talk on Southern California and its oppor- tunities early Sunday morning. Radlo Editor: Referring to the inquiry of J. 8. oy in The Star of January 29, I wish to advise that I, too, received the station referred to, which came in on about 400 meters, perhaps as much less as 390, and heard the man, woman and music Mr. McCoy heard. 1, too, falled to get the call letters. However, CYB, Mexico City (370 meters), was due off the alr at 10 P and CYZ (400 meters) may have been on. CYZ programs are not available, so far as I know, but I assume. this is the station heard.— B. 8 J. Radio Editor: 1 note that in answering John W. Teepell's query in Sunday’'s Star you advised him that “The enemlies of sleep!” iy the slogan of the Kansas City Star “nighthawks’” While it is true the “nighthawks” answer to the description conveyed by the slogan, it really belongs to WLBL, Stephens Point, Wis. I got this information from the station's announcer early Sunday morning while listening to a part of a program of dance music. Mr. Teepell probably will be glad to get this correction.—J. A. R. Radio Editor: Early Sunday morning, about 1:30 o'clock, T heard a station broadcasting a program of songs. Two men were singing as follows: “Old Black Joe,” ‘arry Me Back to Old Virginny” and “The Pal That I Love Stole the Girl That T Love.” The call letters sound- ed like WFAI but, due to code, I couldn’t understand them clearly. Can you or any of the radio fans tell me what station I heard?—L. R. COOKE. The station you probably heard was WSAI, Cincinnati. Radio Editor: For the benefit of DX fans who fish for Oakland, Calif., KGO was on the air early Tuesday morning and an- nounced a change of wave length, effective February 4. In the test the station came in as strong as KOA, Denver. What I wish to ask is on 525 meters I caught a rebroadcast of KGO's program, but could not make out the call letters or the place. Several reterences were made by the announcer as to WAHG, Richmond Hill. Could you help me out? KGO has & new wave around 400 meters. Also, please tell me the air line distance from Washington to Calga Canada, and Mexico City.—J. Y. MEADE, WAHG, Richmond Hill, N. Y., re- broadcast KGO's program late Mon- day night. KGO transmitted on a 312-meter wave and WAHG on 506 meters. Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is 1,974 miles from Washington. The air line distance to Mexico City is 2,000 miles. Radio Editor: Sunday night at 11:20 o'clock I picked up a station on a wave length of approximately 515 meters. There were two selections by a quartet, then I understood the announcer to say WO——. Here the incessant code and loud crackling, crashing noise, which bad bothered me at that particular setting of the dials, came in louder than ever, and on higher waves most of the evening. I did not experlence it on the lower waves and would be glad if you could give me the sta- tion's location—A FAN. WGY and WJZ were scheduled to broadcast jointly Sunday night a pro- gram by the Hampton Institute Quartet.” No other stations had a quartet scheduled on their advance programs. The radio editor, however, is not certain you heard either of these stations, and will leave the query to the readers to answer. Radio Editor: Using a five-tube set I heard sta- tion 2XCJ on 245 meters at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, broadcasting jazz music. When signing off, the an- nouncer failed to give the station's wcation. Please let me know through your query columm its location.— W. H. MORRIS. Have no record of a station with the call 2XCJ. Radio Editor: I am writing to see if I can get information leading to the identifi- cation of the station broadcasting Sunday night, or rather early Mon- day morning at 12:40 o’clock. Thers was 2 violin solo followed by an announcement, which was wholly in Spanish. The wave length used was 395 meters, or very near it. The station was not PWX. Near the con- clusion of the remarks I heard the word Madrid very clearly. I hardly think this can be the locality of the station, but may furnish a clue as to the subject matter of the announce- ment " Before You Buy—See STUDEBAKER for your pocketbook’s sake AHI TASTELESS EPSOM SALTS World’s finest Physic now Pleasant as Lemonade { perfectly, so harmlessly ;m' 8: the b{;weh. 1t never El ipes or overacts. 4.—‘0—- gr:g- nade Salts” is BTl pure dpwm Salts made pleasant with fruit derivative salte— nothing else.
