PLANS UNDER WAY FOR RADIO PARLEY State Department Expected Soon to Call International Conference Here. BY CARL H. BUTMAN. Tith the passage of the bill carrying the State Department's budget of $75.000, plans for the international radio conference, to be held in Wash- Ington in September, are being for- mulated. The actual agenda depends somewhat upon what action the world telegraph conference at Paris takes| this Summer. The United States will not be officially represented, as it not & party to the convention. A car ful study of the action taken there, especially with reference to the atti- tude of the World Powers, will, how- ever, be made by American governs mental officials and radio experts, in erder that the gensral trend of opin- fon on electrical communication may be followed It may be eliminate ai found cussion on strictly nical matters, such as specific wave channels, power limitation, etc., as they might tie up development in a m of technicalities which could not be changed for three or four years | The essentis more practical to tech- of world-wide radio communications will be covered in the Paris conference, since they are In- corporated under the clause of the 0ld telegraph convention of 1908, covering ship-to-shore radio communi- cation. It is belleved that the Paris conference will extend these regula- to cover transoceanic radio services. If this the case, radio ganeral, licen classifi- messages, accounts and ¥ be outlined at Paris prior to the American conference. is service cation ¢ rates in General Rule Discussion. Other subjects which are likely to find a place in the ciscussion here are general, though flexible, rules to cover interference, also rates, serv s and methods o handling international radio traffic The conference may thresh out wave lengths to be used in | Ship-to-shore radio communication that question affects each country;| the oid plan of abelishing the spark apparatus may reappear. The assign- ment of suitable channels for inter- natio radio telephone broadcast- ing will undoubtedly be considered. | Standardization is needed; abroad vary long waves are used, compared with those employed in the Western Hemi- sphere. An international aireraft chan- nel is becoming an important ques- tion due to the development of air routes throughout Europe, where air- | ships and planes fly over several dif- ferent countries in a day's trip. The international angles of an aircraft wave band may be considered, as well as military channels. | Tt is quite probable that a broader conception may be placed upon the old plan for allocating of high-power commercial stations throughout Ith world. Advanced thinkers on this subject believe that the location of commercial stations’ within the boun- daries of a country is g matter for the particular country to determine. The international allocation of sig- nals, such as distress and general calls, as well as the assignment of high-powered station eall letters, will be discussed, although it is believed | that this matter will -continue to be | handled by the central bureau at Bern International broadcasting by amateurs mav be considered. as_ re- cantly the amateur has ¢ome into world prominence. and his call Tetfers although national, bave né definite significance in another country and may be duplicated. 4 Expect More Than 50 Countries. As most of the countries of the world are parties to either the tele- graph of the radio conventions, it is likely that more than 50 separate governments will send delegates to the United States this Fall to partici- pate in the deliberations on radio regulations. In October,11920, about a year be- | fore America in general became | vitally interested in radio, a prelim- | fnary radio conference was held in| Washington. where representatives of | Great Britain, France. Japan and Italy | met to draw up an outline program for future discussion. Most of the visiting delegation were headed by | the respective ambassadors and min- isters, and the United States was rep- resented by Undersecretary of State| Davis, Postmaster General Burleson, | Admiral Bengon of the Shipping Board | and Walter Rogers ! The conferees laid down proposals | under the following subdivisions: The | radio protocol of the peace confer- ence; a universal communication union, composed of telegraph and a radio section: international tele- &raph, radio and cable laws, and im- provements in the communication fa- cilities between the five great powers. British Submit General Scheme, The British submitted a plan for the amalgamation of all electrical communication rules and regulations 1o be submitted to a world's congress on communications, which, however, has never materialized. The stand- ardization of stations, licenses and practically all phases of communica- tion was proposed, including time signals, and methods of reducing in- terference. An international alarm signal system, calculated to call op- erators not on watch in case of dan- ger signa was proposed and a new universal code or cipher system was eutlined. The old international code system, a method of communicating between stations or ships of different nations, | was pronounced out of date and not adapted for radio. Provision for transmitting me ges intelligible to all operators, regardless of the lan- guage they spoke, was planned for use in se: and aerial navigation; covering damages, sickness, stores, fuel, meteorology, ship and aircraft business, and other special needs. Reecommendations for some tech- nical improvements in communica- tion services included the adoption of high-speed printing receivers, au- tomatic transmitters and the multi- plex operation of circuits so as to handle several messages simultane- ously Although the State Depatrment has made no official move toward calling the nations of the world to this con- ference, it is understood that formal invitations will soon be sent out, and the working up of a program begun. At an early meeting of the interde- partmental radio advisory committee, on which all government departments and bureaus having to do with radio are represented, it is planned to de- veloo @ definite Government policy outlined by that committee some time ago. It is probable that this com- mittee will form a nucleus of a tech- nical advisory committee to aid the State Department officials detailed to bandle the conference. French Program by WBZ. Another French program will be broadcast by WBZ, Springfield, Wed- nesday night. The French programs are designed to more strongly cement the friendly relations between WBZ and its French admirers in Canada. Zither Club to Play. A concert by the Zither Club of Davenport will be broadcast by WOC March 20. Zither music seldom be- fore has been broadcast. LONG RANGE RADIO ENTERTAINMENT | (E! SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 1925.

Hix radio set proving to be a Pleasure to the whole family, & con- stant source of contact with the out- e world with its concerts, its banquets, its addresses and its sport- ing events, Smith set aside Saturday evening with the idea of Inviting in some friends who hadn't as yet got the fever. He couldn't have done anything better to reveal his week- old knowledge of radio. When the friends went home they could look back over the evening and recall only a succession of broken melodles and squawks. They were raassured that radio was meaning- less, and they never once considered the possibility of Smith's being the whole trouble It's all in the operating, he came to know, just as in geting results from an automebile. His idea in enter- taining his friends was to arrive at the product from the loud speaker as quickly as possible, and in rushing at the job he had endeavored to skip over the éssentials “You can't get the stations you want if you are in a hurry,” I told him. “Patiénce is the most important requisite In operating a radio set, just as safety Is the chief point in driving your car. I have been able to switch into distant stations that you wouldn’t dream were on the air— just through painstaking tuning Each type of set requires different methods of tuning, of course. But there are tew geperal rules to follow.” “See if I've got them stralght?” he interrupted. “First you.turn up your rheostats that control the amount of current into the tubes until there is & sort of frying sound in the loud speaker. Next you place the dials at about the points where you pre- viously received the station you are trying to get. Then, having found it and tuned as closely as possible, you %o back to your rheostats and try to get the best results with the least amount of current.”” “Fine 1 complimented “You're learning. But let me you a féw tips. Your set i3 not equipped with a vernier control—one of those small dials that provides for a finer adjustment than you can get with the big ones. Thus, if you want the best results in your tuning you should not grasp the knob itself after getting near the ideal wave length position.
