THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHING_TON, D. G, LONG RANGE RADIO ENTERTAINMENT HOW SIGNAL CORPS. SPENDS RADIO FUND Gen. Saltzman Explains Use; of $600,000 Appropriation Given Army. BY CARL H. BUTMAN. The question, “What is the Signal Corps going to do with approximately $600,000, which it now appears the Army appropriation bill will carry for tadio?” recently asked of Maj. Gen. Charles McK. Saltzman, chief signal Officer of the Army, brought details of what radio equipment, maintenance und development cost the Army a sar, It is a little difficult to separate radio funds from the other items, as some are grouped ior communicaiions &nd include teiegraph and telephone services,” Gen. Saitz an. “The largest item goes f« tio equip- uent for the Signal C and other umts of the Army chief ex: Pplained The total equipment monies amount to $£414,000, of which $13 radio equipment for seve the service and $280,000 is for new air- plane sets. About $17,000 covers new radio installations and improvements in the present radio net of while $5,000 covers radiograms han- lled for the Government. Something like $77,000 is allocated for radio re- search and development work or the Army in general.” This work covers ehort-wave work direction finding, fir-heacon systems and the design of Jield radio equipment for the several @rms of the service. Cost of Using Patents. “It costs considerable money to run ® system like the Army Signal Corps Communication Service, even in time i peace. Royalties alone amount to! £7.500 per year, paid out_chiefly for the use of radio patents. For batteries an amount approximating $81,000 is needed each year, to purchase 50,000 dry batteries and 3,000 storage bat- teries. Ten thousand tubes require an wllotment of about $34,000. Of these 5,000 are solely for the use of the Air Service planes and ground stations. Out of the $77,000 allowed to the scien- tific side of the service many types of apparatus have to be purchased; some receiving sets are bought only to be | sted, torn apart and modified to cet military requirements. This Dranch of the service is devoted chiefty to trying to find out what commercial | radio inventions and new pieces of ap- | paratus are adaptable to the needs of | the Army, and it takes a lot of re- ch worlk Part of the appropriations cover the cost of equipping the cablelaying €hip Delwood with a new radio trans- mitter at an estimated cost of $3,000, and $900 for equipping two Coast Ar- tillery mine planters with radio ap- paratus suitable to their needs. Sets for Air Service. “This y the Air Service radio equipment is the big job of the Signal Corps. It requires the construction and installation of 80 medium wave transmitting and receiving sets for as many new observation planes, 40 of a longer range type for 40 bombers and 80 ground sets to handle radio com- munications from the planes. These plane sets will have a range of around 25 miles for radio-phone conversation and 250 miles for radio telegraph code work. It is expected that these com- plete and modern radio sets will im- prove present airplane ground com- munication considerably and make for effective reliable service at all times, even when planes are flying at alti- tudes about a mile high. Such appara- tus is expensive, the equipment of a single plane costing about $1,200. Spe- cial types of tr: nsmitting sets d their receivers are also to be provided for other arms of the military service guch as Infantry divisions, Cavalry and Coast Artillery regiments .md‘ schools. A few new sets will go to Army troops on duty in the Philip- pines, Hawaii and Panama. enance and supplies | hool at Fort | AMonmouth, 000 is provided. At this school, until recently known @s Camp Alfred V officers gnd 168 men are now studying radio end other forms of communication.

RADIO LEGISLATION TO REACH VOTE SOON White Bill May Come Up Wednes- day—Dill Measure in Last of Hearings. Radio legislation, after several years in congressional committees, appeared yesterday to be at last on the verge of becoming congressional business. In the House of Representatives, supporters of the revised White bill were hopetul of bringing that measure up for a vote on Wednesday. In the Senate the Dill bill, a twin of the White measure, is on its last lap of hearings and is expected to be voted on in committee shortly after the House has reached its final decision on radio legislation. Resuming its hearings on the Dill bill Friday, the Senate committee on interstate commerce confined its in- vestigation to the text of the measure wnd to hearing the witnesses who had come to Washingion to support or oppose certain of its provisions. The Department of Commerce _opinion, viven by Solicitor Stephen B. Davis, recommends only slight changes in he text. Although no additional hearings on the Dill bill have been definitely scheduled, it is expected that as soon as the House has voted on the White measure, the Senate committee will go into action and report its bill back to the floor by the middle of next month. et WRHF TO MOVE. Radio Service Station to Discon- tinue Temporarily. WRHF, the Washington Radio Hospital fund committee's “service station” for “shut-ins,” has diseon- tinued broadcasting temporarily, rending the removal of its trans- mitter to a new location. The sta- tion has been located since {ts estab- lishment in a building at 525 Eleventh street. Leroy Ma1):. chairman of the com- mittee, has not revealed the new location, but promised to announce this information next week. The station will have a new and better studlo, he said, and will provide the “shut-ins” with more diversified pro- grams than have been broadcast in the past. RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT.
