EFFECTS OF RADIO CUTTOBE NOTED llembers of Commission Will Observe Conditions in Their Respgctive Zones. Now that their latest reallocation scheme has largely been effected, members of the Federal Radio Com- mission are preparing to visit their respective zones to observe the actual dio reception conditions they have Wrought. Under an order just passed the commissioners have been author- ized to go into the field and make &uch observations during December and January, paying attention not only to reception resulting from the new allocations, but to the character of programs broadcast. The acting chairman of the com- Judge ne O. b leaves today for Jackson, Miss., his home. He expects to remain there a week before making an extensive sur- vey of conditions in the third radio zone, which he represents and which lntl\uhwx North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, ippi, Arkansas, ~ Louisiana, and Oklahoma. He expects to return shortly after January 1. Commissioner Sam Pickard will Jeave in a week or 10 days for his first tour of duty since his appoint- ment to succeed H. A. Bellows. He expects to study the situation closely in most parts of the fourth zone, em- bracing Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da. Xkota, lowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. _ Because of the death of Admiral Bullard, he may also visit Ohio, Michizan and Kentucky in the late chairman's zone, Commissioner H. A. Lafount ex- pects to go back to his home in Salt Lake City shortly before Christmas and thereafter tour his zone in the Far West. He will probably spend the month of January on the Pacific Coast, consulting with broadcasters there on their problems. At Chicago this week the commis- sioner from the first radio zone, O. H. Caldwell of New York, a frequent visitor to his nearby constituency, told the radio division of the National Electrical Manufacturers’ Association that the commission after December 1 is offering the public 30 cleared channels. The others, he admitted, are “hopelessly overloaded,” and “‘their shrieks of protest nightly assail the ears of listeners.” But the commission has done the best in its power to crowd nearly 700 stations on only 89 available channels, said Commissioner Caldwell. Again he urged the idea of station synchro- nizing—the broadcasting of the same programs on the same wave lengths by neighboring stations. He suggest- ed various technical methods which he said promise excellent possibilities. Commissioner Caldwell also will visit his zone during December and Jan- uary. OLD CHURCH STEEPLE STRAIGHTENED BY DUTCH Leaning Tower Weighing 400 Tons Jacked Up and Reset on Foundation. Correspondence of the Associated Press. NIEUWKOOP, Holland.—For lean- ing towers the Dutch have no use, even as a curiosity. A 300-year-old church steeple here which was about three feet out of the perpendxcuhl has been been straightened by operation which drew a.rchitac!ur&l experts from all over the The steeple, which rw 400 tons, was first entirely Tifted off its foundation by 12 hydraulic jacks and then lowered again with infinite care, at a slightly slower rate on one side than on the other, so that the structure came to stand straight again. The difficult operation was carried out without a mishap. S SRS SR S SR S SR S S Atwater Kent Kolster—Federal R. C. A—Crosley THE EVEN LONG RANGE RADIO ENTERTAINMENT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1927.

Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. MOSCOW.—A brick of pure gold, buried by its owner during the revo- lution with the hope of saving it later, has coma into the hands of the police. The bar weighed 16 pounds and was hidden in 1917 by ‘Mme. Dunaieva, wife of Moscow’s millionaire match king, who had fntrusted the precious metal to her for safe keeping. For 10 long years Mme. Dunaicva has been scheming to visit the hiding place in the den of her former palace and unearth the treasure which would aid her during the troublesome times.
