(#).—The Valen- | tine Museum here is to be enlarged | with a view to making it one of the | most nearly complete general cultural museums of America. Under the plan the Valentine House, | built in 1819 by Mills, the architect of the Confederate White House and other famous buildings of the Old Dominion, is to be restored to the exact condition of that time. For years the museum has been one of the South’s most important cultural shrines and contains what experts de- clare are some of the country’s rarest art treasures.

C/ Head 'Says Fans Clear to Coast May Hear New York Programs. BY MARTIN CODEL. Nation-wide hook-ups as a nightly | occurrence and other expansion plans | of the broadcasting networks radiating out of New York City were announced | by officials of the leading chains ‘while they were in Washington in connection with the chain station restriction order imposed by the Federal Radio Commis- sion. Not only will the radio audience west of the Rockies be able to tune-in a New York program at stated hours each evening but Canadian listeners may soon be able to hear those programs from their own stations, according to the president of the National Broad- casting Co., M. H. Aylesworth. This organization has 55 stations in its “red,” “blue” and Pacific Coast networks. The Columbia Broadcasting System, now noted chiefly for its suparior musi- cal offerings, proposes to add many new stations to its string, and has already embarked upon a policy of greater pro- gram diversity. This chain, the only large rival of the National Broadcast- ing Co., consists of 21 stations, extend- ing as far West as Kansas City. Most of the expansion plans of the chain organizations depend upon the practical effects of the reallocation of next November 11. This will bring about a change in the wave lengths or power assignments of most of their member stations, along with nearly all cther broadcasting stations in the United States. Since the commercial existence of the The Character Loan “’HEN you need money, The Departmental Bank stands ready to help vou with a Character Loan if you are a Government employe or responsible salaried person.

Suvervision chains depend upon the audience ‘“cov- erage” they can insure their clients, cant to them. Mr. Aylesworth said he expected that more commercial sponsors would soon elect to send their programs all the way to the West Coast. The great deterrent thus far has been the cos® of the tele- phone to the Western end of the net- works regularly fed by the “key” sta- tions at New York. The farthest West- ern. point reached by the National Broadcasting Co. is Denver. Canadian stations have been making representations to the National Bfoad- casting Co. for regular membership in the chains, Mr. Aylesworth declared. One of the reasons is the objection raised in Canada to the advertising, however indirect, of American-made products. by fading and static disturbances or. the far-flung signals from American transmitters have urged their local sta- tion managers to seek to join the New ‘York networks. according to its secretary-treasurer, Dr. Leon Levy of Philadelphia, is exactly a year old. Beginning with 16 stations, it now has 21. It is soon adding ‘WLBW, Oil City, Pa., and at present is tying in WMAL, Washington, D. C, for all the major political speeches.

Broadcasting of chain programs by | | superpowered stations on cleared chan- | {nels would be restricted to 10 such sta- | | tions for the entire country by each of the two chain networks, with local and | regional areas served with their chain | | entertainment through low-powered | transmitters, under a proposal sub- | mitted to the Federal Radio Commis- ion by the Columbia Broadcasting Sy: | The chances for such a proposi- | tion, it may be stated upon excellent authority, are “slim.” Meeting with the commission to dis- cuss the chain broadcasting order which | would limit chain stations on cleared | channels to a minimum separation of 300 miles, representatives of the Co- lumbia System suggested that the order be amended so that only two such chain stations, duplicating programs, | be permitted in each of the five radio | zones. According to observers, _this would mean that the number of high- powered_stations on cleared channels of the National Broadcasting Co. will be cut in half. The Columbia System, howgver, with only six stations in the high-power category. would be enabled to add to its chain four more stations. The Columbia System, according to | its representati . Leon Levy and Daniel G. Murphy, both of Philadel- phia, and Alfred McCosker, manager of Station WOR, Newark, want to see action on chain broadcasting by the commission. They evidently are skep- tical about the scientific_judgment that would be exercised by Congress should the commission fail to take action. “We believe that unrestricted dupli- cation of programs on cleared channels would certainly bring such a storm of protest that adverse legislation would be demanded by the listening public, and its enactment would be a cer- tainty,” they told the commission. “It is a big question whether such legis- lation would be scientifically sound. “It is our belief that permitting the larger share of high-powered chan- nels to carry identical programs on the nation-wide networks would make chain broadcasting. which is now the back- bone of radio, a millstone around its neck. If the listening public tunes-in th> same program at point after point on its dials, public resentment, fanned by the energetic independent_stations, would do untold harm to the entire radio structure.” The Columbia System, its represen- tatives say, expect to solve the chain problem by synchronization. Experi- ments have advanced to the point, they say. where this means of utilizing the same wave length for broadcasting over at least two stations without interfer- Limit of Ten Stations on | cnce has proved entirely feasible.
