En, t e This is the attitude of the Radio Com- dnission expressed by the chairman, ‘Admiral Bullard, in replying to com- plaints that the South was being dis- <riminated against with respect to broadeast licenses. There are todav probably far fewer ‘hroadcasting stations in the South than in the North, East or West Coast, but the reason is that interests in these latter sections have shown more enterprise, more business acumen or that there has been demand for more stations. The commiesion is merely the licensing authority, which author- izes &Sl'lhh"hl‘d stations to operate if _public interest, necessity and conven- “dence are nnr ed; in some instances new stations are allowed to go on the air, and recently seven Southern sta- stions were so licensed—two in Georgla, two in Texas, and one each in Arkan- sas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. They were in a measure old stations, in that they were built and ready to operate prior to the coming into being of the Radio Commission. Several other Southern stations have recently been permitted to increase their power .and use better broadcast channels. Judge Sykes of Jackson, Miss., representative of the South on the commission, 1s, of course, especially in- terested in that section and is doing his best to see that a fair deal is given the Southern States; he is even now investigating conditions there, and is very anxious to have all the stations that are necessary and desired :in the South. There is, however, this to be realized: few new stations can be licensed anywhere with approxi- mately 680 now In service and only 89 national channels available. Unfor- tunately for the South, most of the early stations sprang up in the North, East and West Coast, and it was also in those sections that the greatest interest, both from the broadcasters’ and the listeners’ standpoints was manifest; priority and demonstrated efficiency have to be considered. other words, licenses cannot be taken away from existing stations found reliable and desirable, so as to make room for newcomers in other districts, and so far no great demand for licenses has appeared in the South. . The bee and silkworm are the only insects put to work on a factory basis 1}’ mank. e — 9 RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS Even it radio is not quite so in-|ent there is a considerable amount of triguing in the Summer time, at least this year demonstrates that Summer is the big time in radio for big things. It rather looks as though the Summer season would turn out to be, for radio what the Winter season is for motor- ing—the time for the exhibition of new models. All kinds of new sets are being of- fered, and all kinds of cquipment as well. Buyers are out looking over the new sets and testing them under the most adverse conditions. Stores soon will be stocking up in anticipa- tion of the Fall trade. Naturally, it is a good time for the progressi.e radio- ist, particularly for the person plan- ning to buy a new set in the Autumn, to study the various improvements and attempt to read the immediate fu- ture to his own advantage. The trends are well marked, poirt- ing unmistakably to the development of sets which will be operated directly from the light sockets without the use of amplifiers, eliminators and transformers for the stepping down of current. In other words, the tubes themselves will operate directly on A. C. current, though it will be neces- sary to utilize transformers to step down the current for the filament in those tubes which now are obtaininle. ‘The whole process is toward the elimination of the frills and acces- sories which have been considered ab- solutely essential to good radio opera- tion. It must be remembered, how- ever, that there still are thousands of families without electric light service, which means that these newer seots, while suitable for city use, may not be of interest at all to many millions of persons who are radio enthusiasts. Battery business has not been knocked out by the development of eliminators, and it is reasonable to suppose that the use of alternating current directly from the light socket is not likely to put the eliminator manufacturers out of business. One of the things that will have to be ironed out if socket-power sets come into general use is ths matter of Dbetter nmrnul,‘( current. At pres- variation in the line. This has heen tolerated because users do not notice it. Particularly so long as the electric lights glow with sufficient brilliancy and the other electrical devices around the house operate with sufficient power to do their chores, there is no com- plaint. Radlo, however, requires qual- ity eleetricity. This has had some- thing to do with the reluctance of man- ufacturers to give up the use of bat- tery power for radios. WEAF’s New Transmitter Tested. The National Broadcasting Co.'s new 50-kilowatt transmitter at Bellmore, Long Island, N. Y., now, known as 2XZ, the call letters recently assigned by the Federal Radio Commission, is rapidly undergoing a series of pre- scribed tests and will soon adopt the familiar call letters WEAF, according to Merlin Hall Aylesworth, president of the company. The engineers con- ducting the necessary experimental tests report remarkable progress, which, according to Mr. Aylesworth, will tend to advance the date of plac- ing the new apparatus in service. The exact date upon which this new and most modern transmitter will replace WEAF’s present 5-kilowatt equipment will be announced shortly. The specifications for this new transmitting plant were drawn up by the company’s board of consulting en- gineers, made *up of Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith, chief broadcast engineer, Radio Corporltlon of Ameri chair- man; Dr. E. F. W. Alexanderson, con- sulting engineer, General Electric Co., and Frank Conrad, consulting en- gineer, Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co As soon as tests have been com- pleted 2XZ will become WEAF and ‘will be under the supervision of B. Hanson, manager of the National Broadcasting Co.'s plant operation and engineering department. J. J.
