AEPORT KEPT QUIET BY BROADCASTERS Findings to Be Made Public “Some Time” Before Con- vention Here. Having neither praised mnor con- demned publicly the radio law and the Federal Radio Commission’s efforts, o Natlonal Association of Broadcast- crs adjourned its fifth annual conven- t'on, held during the Radio World's| {air at New York, with only an an- nouncement to the effect that its co- operative report on radio conditions would be made known “some time” before the next convention, to be held in Washingion early in 19 Since the radio act of 1927 is sup posed to be the “child” of the com- Dbined efforts of and elements in the radio industry, working through leg lative channels during the ~ion of Con 3 some pronouncement would be forth coming at New York, especially after the convention three members of the commission. Report Kept Secret. But the rt that was drawn up by r in co-operation with the manufacturers and dealers, Is being kept a secret, while inferences are freely drawn that it is highly crit- jcal of what is taking place in Wash- ingten respecitng radio control. All that can be learned officially is thai it does mot exp entire satisfaction with the rad w and urges further legislation. The nature of the legis- lation sought is not disebosed. A One member of the eommittee said that, having nurtured the infants, the industry now wants to “rear it to manhood.” He referred to the radio act and the creation of the commission and also, presumably, to the fact that administration control over radio next March reverts to the Department of Commerce, where it once before rest- ed. Whether it is the position of the industry that the commission should be made an enduring body, retaining the control authority instead of becom- ing a sort of appeal body, next year is not made known, but it is anticipated the report will have something to say on this score. It is believed the re- port is being held in abeyance with the object in view of exciting official curi- osity before Congress convenes in De- cember, Triple Alliance Seen. The report represents a triple al- liance between broadcasters, manufac- turers and dealers. The National As- sociation of Broadcasters was repre- sented at the closed committee meet- ings which drew it up by Paul Klugh, Zenith Radio Corporation, Chicago; Joseph B. Groce, station WEEI, Bos- ton, and Walter A. Strong, publisher, Chicago Daily News. The Radio Man- NING STAR, WASHINGTON, LONG RANGE RADIO ENTERTAINMENT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1927.

Radio reception conditions contin- ued to remain excellent last night, de- spite an apparent increase in activity on the part of static. Signals that were tunable responded with good vol- ume and a fair degree of clarity and the sporadic crackling of the atmos- pherics falied to cause serious interfer- ence. Stations in the North seemed to be more vigorous than those in other sactions. The signals of the Canadian stations were particularly strong. A little excursion over the wave lengths prodnced the following results: CFCF, Montreal; C. n( Camden; WJZ, New York, and WOR Newark. FOUR TRAINMEN HURT.

Uncle Sam's 10-year-old Army trucks recorded a distinct achievelent, in Army opinfon, when they carried a four-gun battery and all its equip- ment 700 miles in 11 days, over roads that would have been tough going for a light automobile because of sand and grades. The Artillery unit was Battery A, 1st Field Artillery, which was moved by truck from Fort Sill, Okla., to Mar- fa, Tex., for recent maneuvers. It is a motorized unit, with the guns hauled by tractors, but for the long jump both guns and tractors rode in Army trucks acquired during the war and the out- fit averaged 60 miles a day, its long- est march being 111 miles. There was only one equipment loss in the trip, one truck breaking down RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT.

Radio is no better than the “B” current THE quality of your radio reception depends on the source of your “B” power. With bauenes, radio is at its best. But, there is a great difference in batteries. The big Evcready Layerbilt No. 486 will outlast any other Eveready Battery—and Evereadys are noted for their smooth, steady, silent power and long-lasting qualities. The patented Eveready Layerbilt is the only battery of its kind. Built in layers that occupy all available space inside the case, it contains more active materials than any other battery of equal size. For that reason it provides more electricity. It is actually the longest- lasting and most economical battery you can buy. The reputation and resources of its makers, the National Carbon Company, stand back of it.
