TABLOID “KATINKA' ON WRC TONIGHT Colin O'More and lJessica Dragonette to Enact Leading Roles. Rudolf Friml's tuneful mus.&! play, “Katinka,” will be produced in tabioid form during the Philco hour, one of ‘WRC’c major attractions tonight. Colin O’'More and Jessica Dragonette will enact the leading roles. The weekly dance program of thi Lucky Strike Orchestra and an_organ recital by Lew White are among WRC's other features. The dance program as usual is made up principally of popu- lar Broadway hits. The outstanding selection tonight will be “Sonny Boy,” Al Jolson's latest from “The Singing Fool.” “Rain or Shine,” “Funny Face,” and “Good News" are a few of the se- lections to be played. Mixed with them, however, will be some hits of former years, among them, “Oh, You Beautiful Doll” and “On the Beach at Waikiki.” ‘WRC's program tonight also will have a touch of Armistice day atmosphere. John Barton Payne of the American Red Cross will speak on “Your Red Cross Ten Years After the Armistice,” and Dr. Homer J. Councilor, president of the Organized Bibile Class Associa- tion, who will give the weekly bible talk, has chosen for his subject “The Price of Peace.” An early dance program by Statler's Pennsylvanians and a late dance pro- gram by the Wardman Park Orchestra frame the other features. ‘WMAL's program contains its usual Saturday night attractions which fea- ture the Metro Melody Dance Orchestra and Leese's Saturday Nighters. There also will bs a program by the Harmo- nious Quartet and a talk on meteors by James Stokley of Science Service.

BY MARTIN CODEL. An eleventh-hour appeal to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has won for Station WGY, Schenectady, a stay in its wave lel’lfllh assignment under the impend: g broad- cast reallocation. Otherwise reallocation will go into effect as scheduled—Sunday morning— and listeners everywhere will be tuning- in nearly all stations at new dial settings. Station WGY obtained its injunctive order from the appellate court today with the concurrence of counsel for the Federal Radio Commission after Chief Justize Martin had ob- tained an agreement between the parties. The order enables the New York station to continue operating full time on its present channel until the case can be argued on its merits, Jecember 3. The practical effect of t" ~ court's action will be to disturb the basi. allo- cation scheme only insofar as one of the 40 cleared channels is cc..cerned. By remaining on the wave length as- signed for exclusive evening use to KGO, Oakland, Calif., the high-pow- ered station at Schenectady will inevi- tably set up heterodyne whistles and howls on that wave somewhere, prob- ably in the Rocky Mountain region, inasmuch as WGY employs 50 kilo- watts power and KGO uses only 5 kilowatts. will "2 ‘The far-reaching effects of the case will come ou: of its test of certain phases of the radio law and the com- mission’s power under that law. Al- though counsel for WGY disclaim any purpose of attacking the constitution- ality of the radio act or of the powers of the commission, except insofar as they affect WGY alone, the argumen:s advanced indicate clearly that these points will be drawn into the issue on account of the peculiar status of the radio authority. Precedents established in this case will undoubtedly be the firs: in the great body of law that remains to be written to cover the juridical aspects of the new art. Station WGY main- tains that the Radio Commission erred in determining its public service merit, and its counsel argues that to place it in such a position that it can operate only until darkness on the Pacific Coast, or about 8 p.m. in the East, would in effect be a deprivation of property. It was contended that the commis- sion’s ruling would deprive millions of listeners of the service this station per- forms in rendering programs regularly heard in upper New York State and Western New England. Backing its contention, WGY presented petitions from the atmrney generals of New Test Case. 10 Ot 1 York, V.rmon’, SATURDAY. New Hampshire and Massachusetts. This feature of the case will bring up the extent of the commission’s discretion in fixing “pub- lic interest, convenience and necessity,” and may bring forth the first definition of this sweeping phras>, Hug" - Senior Counsel. The General Electric Co. was repre- sented by Frank Hogan and Stephen 1. Philbin. Charles Evans Hughes has been engaged as senior counsel. The PFederal Radio Commission was repre- sented by Frank Scott, special couns: in the absence of Louis G. Caldwell, chief counsel, who is in Chicago on another case that is expected to prove a major test of the radio authority. It was explained on behalf -of the commission after the hearing that one of the motives impelling the commis- sicn’s counsel to accent the court’s or- der by agreement and without serious | dispute was the fact that the singl: owncrship of the two imvortant st tions places the General Electric Co. own interests at stake if serious inter- ference occurs on their mutual wave. Harry Sade: walter, chief broadcast- ing engineer for the General Electric Co., said that both WGY and ~"GO will operate fnll time on th: one wave length, but that in view of. possible in- terference the latter will not boost its power to the recently authorized 10 kilowatts. Although apprehension prevailed after the court order today, lest other dissatisfied broadcasters would also rush their appeals to the courts on the eve of the reallocation, there was abso- lute assurance at commission head- quarters that the allocation as a whole will go into effect and serve to improve reception_throughout the country. Judge E. O. Sykes, who appeared at the injunction hearing. shortly after- ward issued a statement, giving reas- surances that “listeners will be more than repaid for relogging their sets by the great improvement in reception and’| service.” (Copyright, 1928. by North American Newspaper Alliance.)

Use of radio by police departments in the apprehension of criminals and in detection of crime is gaining wide- | spread favor throughout the United | States, and gives promise not only of a national but of a world-wide network of short wave police intelligence sta- tions. Already four of the largest police de- partments in the country are operating short wave stations to contact with| outlying sections and mobile patrols in pursuits of law-offenders. The Boston Police Department now has pending an application for a station, while there may be other similar applications among the 6,000 or so now on file at | the Federal Radio Commission that have not yet been analyzed. The idea is not entirely new. The international radio-telegraph confer- ence, which met here last year, foresaw the possibilities of a world-wide system for police departments and set aside a band of short wave frequencies “to facilitate rapid transmission of infor- mation of value in detection of crime and pursuit of criminals.” Awaits Conference Outcome. ‘Within the United States the general usage of short waves for this work must await the outcome of the conference to be held this month in Canada. of American, Canadian, Mexican and Cuban representatives, regarding dis- tribution of the short wave band.
