Gypsies, directed by Harry Horlick, open their new season of broadcasting at 7:30 o'clock this evening over WRC and other stations of the National Broadcasting Co. The personnel of Gypsies, a versatile string ensemble, comprises a majority of musicians who claim Russia as their native land. Their programs will continue to feature Russian and Hungarian selections. For the first program of the cur- rent season, Horlick has arranged 12 selections, characteristic of the pre- vious efforts of the Gypsies. The pro- gram opens with that overture which is heard again and again, Von Suppe’s “Poet and Peasant.” Leoncavallo's *“Mattinata,” which was supposed to have been written for the late Enrica Caruso; Kreisler's *“Tamborine Chin- ois” and Delibes “Chardash” are other aelections of note on the program. The Russian Cathedral Choir, which has taken a prominet part in many of the stage programs and broadcasts of the Roxy Theater, will be featured during the program by *“Roxy and His Gang,” which will be broadcast by WRC at 6:30 o'clock. “The Pearl Fishers,” an opera by Bizet, will be offered by the National Grand Opera Co., under the direction of Cesare Sodero, at 8:30. Other features on this evening’s pro- m include a “Pre-World Series view,” by Waite C. Hoyt of the New York Yankees; South Sea Islanders and the Palais d'Or Or- chestra. A playet, talk and music compose the wto-hour program which WMAL will broadcast tonight, beginning at 8 o'clock. The playet will be given by students of the O'Connor School while the musical portion of the pro- gram will be provided by the Hono- Julans and Malton Boyce, concert pianist. The station will open and close its broadcast, as usual, with a resume of the latest news flashes. Statie, more violent than it has ‘been for several weeks, sputtered and cracked almost incessently last night and interfered seriously with the re- ception of the distant broadcasting stations. Only the super-power sta- tions seemed to be able to penetrate the barrier of noise with sufficient strength to allow their signals to be reproduced in the loud speakers. Sta- tions in all sections could be tuned, however, but the disturbance was so I;Irnuyln' listeners soon had to shut off.

By the Associated Press. The length of code words in inter- national radio communication is ex- pected to provide one of the complex problems ~which the international radio-telegraphic conference, meeting here in October, will be called upon to_solve, International agreements at present fix ten letters as the length of code words, and numerous individual, official and comynercial codes now in use are based on that number. Agree- ment is practically unanimous among communications experts of all nations, however, that code words of such lengths are a hindrance to rapid and accurate transmission, hecause op- erators find it difficult to take in at a glance ten letters which to them are meaningless. A limit of five letters has been sug- gested, but since this would reduce the time required for transmission, the question has arisen as to what reduction should be made in the toils. British concerns are understood to favor reduction of the rates virtually by half. American operators, on the other hand, assert that costs of trans- mission are not directly proportional to the length of the words, and have suggested that the charges be reduced only 25, or at the most, 35 per cent. Certain European radio firms that op- erate under more difficult conditions, ave declared themselves in favor of retaining the present rates for the shorter words. e, Famous Clock to Go. spondence of the Associated Press.
