[y FOUR AIR STATIONS GIVEN NEW WAVES Commission Hears Appeals and Grants Changes—De- nies Six Others. A scors or more of broadcasting stations from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific are seriously affected by the new- ly announced decision of the Fed eral Radio Commission. Significant as precedents in the broadcast realm, these decisions have closed 10 of the cases on the large docket of public | hearings which is now absorbing the commission. The granting of four applications for wave-length changes and the denial of six other requests for fre-, quency or power changes as a whole reflect the commission's readiness to relax from f{ts June 15 allocations where it deems “the public inter: convenience or necessity” described in the radio act will be served. All of the changes are effective when the new 60-day licenses go into effect Au- gust 15. Records Considered. In arriving at its decisions, the com- mission considered the past and pres- ent broadcasting records of the appli- cants and the public demand for their services, In the denials this feature likewiso ruled, but the question of ex- pediency entered to a greater extent It was regarded as manifestly impos siblo in some instances to crowd sta- tions oft their assignments to make way for others, or to add more sta- tions or authorize higher powers on waves already burdened to capa One of the most significant rulings was that which permits KFNF, Shen- andoah, Towa, engaged in direct selling by radio, to change from the 1,110-kilo- cycle wave it now shares with KMA, a rival in the same field, to 650 kilo- cycles, using: 2,000 watts. Already on this wave are WHAS, Louisville, and KRLD, Dallas, both owned by news- papers, both of which objected to hav- ing KENF placed on their wave. The commission’s ruling, following @ hearing at which former Representa- tive Jamieson of Iowa presented KFNF's case, is somewhat mitigated for the other stations by the fact that KFNF may use this wave and power only from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

DEBS FUND BUYS STATION WSOM to Be Crusading Vehicle for Liberal and Labor Opinion. NEW YORK, August 5 (®).—Trus- tees of the Debs memorial radio fund announced yesterday that they had purchased broadcasting station WSOM, and would take over operation of the station October 1 as- a ‘“crusading vehicle for all liberal, radical and la- bor opinion.” The station is at Wood- haven, Long Island. Authorization of the use of the call letters WDEBS, in memory of Eugene V. Debs, late leader of the Socialist party, will be sought. Palais 'O Orchestra, by Edith B. Station WLTH, Brooklyn, formerly WFRL, was authorized to shift to 1,170 kilocycles, sharing time wit ‘WBBR and WEBJ, both of New York. Station WBBR was allocated 50 per cent of the time and the other two 25 per cent each, the division to be made among themselves. Station WJIBI, Red Bank, moved from 1,170 to 1,140 but its power limited to only 150 watts so that it would not interfere with others on the wave. The fourth ap- plication granted was that of WMBG, Richmond, Va., for shift to 1,360 kilo: cycles, using on!y 15 watts, to which no objection had been voiced. Five of the six denials involved the Pacific Coast stations which appeared at hearings last week to request changes. All of the Craft stations— KEX, Portland; KYA, San Franciseo; KJR, Seattle, and KGA, Spokane— were denied their applications for ‘waves on which other coast broad- casters were now operating and for high powers. Station KXL, Portland, also was de- fled a change to 770 kilocycles, on hich there are now operating KTW, Seattle; KWSC, Pullman, and KGO, Oakland. Although the president of the Re- organized Church of Jesus Christ, Dr. Frederick M. Smith, testified Station KLDS. Independence, Mo., cannot reach its 100,000 flock in the Middle West on its present wave, the station was refused the same frequency granted KFNF, namely, 650 kilocycles. The Louisville and Dallas stations now on 650 also had raised objections to KLDS. ‘The dominating attraction on the wave lengths tonight will be an ab- breviated version of Anne Nichols’ famous play, “Abie's Irish Rose,” which will be broadcast jointly by WEAF and WRC during the “Star- dom of Broadway” period, beginning at 6 o'clock. The chief musical feature will be provided by the Cities’ Service Con- cert Orchestra and Cavaliers, which have arranged to present a depiction of a spirited hunt. This attraction is scheduled for 7 o'clock. The W., B. & A. Quartet and the Lord Calvert Hour of Music, two fea- tures of local origin; “Musical Minia- tures,” which will depict scenes of the woodland; songs by Harvey Hinder- meyer and Earle Tuckerman, and the Pennsylvania and Greenwich Village Inn orchestras are other attractions. WMAL has scheduled a twoanda- half-hour program tonight, which will feature a concert by a Hawallan trio and dance music by the Lido Orches- tra. There also will be several solo numbers given by Leonard R. Davis, baritone, and Mrs. Walter E. Hilton, soprano.

Walt till T get Adele's book and then you can take me home—via the Royal” (an ice cream parlor). ‘“Hold my bag.” She thrust a beaded con- traption into his hands and walked to tha desk. Barbara slowly followed. She watched them go out with a queer expression on her face. The next day Stephen did not come, and the day after that the blond girl came in with him. She had evidently taken complete possession of him. As she bore him off again the light died out of Barbara's face. For a week she went about her duties as in the old days before she had known Stephen. Then one evening he came in alone and lingered, waiting for closing time. But just as Barbara was putting on her hat the blond girl fluttered in. “Oh,” she said, “I'm so glad T ran into vou, Stephen. I want to go by Elsle’s and see about that joy ride we planned.” For a moment Barbara stood still and rigid. Stephen gave her an apolo- getic glance as If begging her to un- derstand his helplessness. Then he smiled—that rippling, illuminating smile—at the girl who was capturing him by force. * Barbara's rigidity broke and she be- came intensely alive. Yet her voice when she spoke was cool, arrogant. “Mr. Crothers is seeing me home." The blond girl stared blankly as if this was the first time she had seen Barbara. Stephen looked from one to the other, not knowing which way to turn. “I'm ready,” said Barbara, taking her coat from the hook and putting it on, “I want te get another book,” sald the girl haughtily. “Sorry,” returned Barbara coldly. “We close at 9. You should come earlier.” And she moved to the door and stood waiting for the others to nass out. On the way home Barbara took Stephen’s arm as she had seen the blond girl do. She talked gayly and senselessly, a running fire of frivolous small talk, Stephen was not responsive. He ap- peared {1l at ease, and at her door left rather abruptly, but not before she had made an engagement for the next day. Something she had heretofore left to him. A few evenings later, as Stephen read at his favorite table, the blond girl rang up on the telephone and wanted to speak to Mr. Crothers. Barbara called Stephen and then shamelessly listened to his end of the conversation. es?"” he said. certainly. Glad to.” Oh, that won't be neces- sary. I’ | stop by.” “No, really. No bother.” “‘Oh, well, if you prefer.” He hung up. Presently the obnoxious blond came in and insolently carried Stephen off. Something within Barbara burst bounds. It cried out that Stephen was her man; that if he was the sport of women'’s wills, then she, Barbara, also had a will. She had thought he liked to take the lead himself. If he pre- ferred to be led, very well. She would hold the rope. The dawn of a new day strength- ened her wild resolve. Mastertully she took the bit betwen her teeth and went forth to conquer or die. She enveloped Stephen, overwhelmed him, took him by storm. He permitted her to monopolize him as he had the blond, too polite to protest. But after a few days Barbara felt a lack some- where. There was no doubt about her conquest. She could have married him at any minute had she so willed. But it would have been her will, not Tune In On LORD CALVERT COFFEE Hour of Music WIP, Thursday, 9 P.M. WRC, Friday, 9 P.M.

There was no zest, no heart in his surrender. Her triumph mocked her. In a sudden overwhelm- ing disgust with both herself and him she dropped her role of huntress and definitely retired from the race, leav- ing the fleld to her rival. She smiled a bitter, crooked little smile of bewilderment at this abrupt right-about-face. Then the mother- ing instinct came uppermost as she saw the hunted look gradually die out of his eyes. From her post of ob- servation she saw him venturing near- er, step by step, just as the little wild creatures of the woods creep closed to the intruder who makes no move toward them. Then the blond made her last en- trance on the scene. She went straight to Stephen and Barbara obliquely ob- served with an indifference that sur- prised her the usual tactical approach. But something appeared to be amiss. Finally the girl wheeled and came to the desk, “Would it inconvenience you very greatly to change your date with Stephen? He doesn't like to ask.” The faint insolence of her tone was blend- ed with anxiety. Barbara looked her straight in the eyes. “I have no engagement with Stephen.” “You—but he sald—" Her volce trailed off as the full significance of Barbara’s reply sank in. Abruptly she turned, gave Stephen one scorn- ful glare and went out of the door and the story. Stephen went on reading. At 9 o'clock he rose, carefully put his book in its place on the shelf and came over to Barbara. - ““We're going to the Unique Theater tonight. It's putting on a second run of that highly educational film, ‘The Masterful Mal “That would be my cholce, too,” sald Barbara cryptically. THE END.
