WAVE ALLOGATION PLAN 1S LAUDED lRadio Conference Hopes to - Solve International Prob- . lem While Here. By the Associated Press. The allocation of wave length to the ous radio services worked out by International Radio Conference will a present parley a place In the history of wireless utilization, {n the opinion of many delegates. believe that the plan evolved double advantage of it rigirly ing long-wave services to sep- e froquency bands, thus avoiding ference which has rendered Ve communications so difficult cars, and of subjecting the Aves to a looser allocation in | t so closely the short w which their uses are defined. Such a policy W rable they sav, because the utilization of ghort waves is still in an experimental stage, while that of long waves is weil understood. : The chief problem confronting the conference was how to satisfy the needs and demands of broadcasters and amateurs. Amateurs Demand Freedom. First efforts at convincing European countries of the advisability of chang- *ing their broadcasting frequencies 0 as to keep them within certain well defined brackets, leaving ample scope to the further development of ship wireless communication, up to then grievously hampered by broadcasting encroachments, met with stiff oppo- sition. Amateurs of the whale manded that they be in no way ted from pursuing their exp ments and carr com- munications with short waves. While the United States, Canada and Great Britain were, on the whole, very sym- Pathetice with the amateurs’ desires, most foreign countries adopted a hos- tile attitude. Frank exchange of views soon brought out complete agreement on both poirts. As now arranged, broad- casting w*! be restricted to the fre quencies Yetween 1,875 and 1550 meters and between meters wave length. In addition, to ellow European broadcasters now op- erating on other frequencies to change their wave lengths without undue bardships, it was agreed to permit broadeasting on frequencies between world de- re- 150 and 1.340 meters wave length for | & perind of one vear after the ratifica- tion of the convention. Broadcasters also _were alloted numerous narrow bands in ‘the short-wave category for long-distance operation. 7" . ¥ "Allgcations “Are “Given. A [ - *Amatears were allotted several nar- Yow.

In addition wave lensths were re merved for radio heacons, distress calls, weather reports and for the ex- change of information used for the @etection and arrest of criminals. The wave bands measured in meter wave lengths allotted to amateurs are: 75 to 150, §5 to 75, 12.S to 41, 21.4 to 20.8, 10.7 to 10, 5.35 to 5. In addition to the exclusive use of ackets the convention aliowed amateu to correspond internally provided the internal legislation of the correzponding countries zllowed such mateur wave bands were dis- the whole short-wave range as to insure that amateurs ‘would be able to carry out their experi- ments at all hours of the day. Neces- sity of various wave bands ior this purpose was dictated by the fact that short waves are influenced by seasonal and hourly coefficients in their carry- ing capacity =0 TWO PLEAD GUILTY TO ABANDONING BABY * John Barwick, 22 years old, of 1626 U streer southeast,”and Miss Irene Willis Clement, 19 vears old, of the game address, who were arrested yes- terdav afternoon in connection with shandonment of a baby girl, now 14 days old. early Tuesday, appeared in Juége Hitt’s Police Court today, the girl with the tiny baby in her arms, 1o plead guilty to the charge of @handonment.
