46 MILITARY BAND ON WNAL TONIGHT Wile to Give Forecast of New Administration Over WRC. The United Military Band, which is giving a series of midweek concerts over stations associated with the Co- lumbia Broadcasting Syster, will make its_debut tonight through WMAL. The band's concert is the only Co- lumbia attraction scheduled by WMAL. It will open with “Attention,” the stir- ring march of Laurendeau. The other ections include “A Day at the Fair,” za772-Massazza, attractions of local origin. tures will be a program by the Institute of Musical Art of Washington and a classical program by the Bernheimer Trio. In addition there will be a re- cital by Frances Gutelius, pianist, and a late dance program by the Strick- land-Bonbrest Orchestra. WRC'’s attractions tonight will be the Palmolive hour and a_forecast of the new administration by Frederic Willlam Wile, veteran radio political analyst. The other features include the Home Companion hour and the weekly con- cert of the Ipana Troubadours. The entr'acte from Biset's ope ‘Carmen” will be the orchestral feature of the Palmolive hour, The solos of Olive Palmer, coloratura SOPrano, are “Chanson Provencale” and “Chanson Indoue.” With Paul Oliver she will sing as a duet “Three Cheers.” “Guess Who's in Town” and “Dinan” are to be sung by the Revelers, and the aug- mented Palmolive Ensemble will sing “Underneath the Japanese Moon" and “Poem Poetuge.” Jack Parker, who has been singing professionally since the age of 7, will be the individual star of the Ipana Troubadours' broadcast. His featured number will be “Dear Little Boy of Mine.” American folk music dominates the Home Companion hour. In addition there will be a dramatization of a short story. 5 WJSV will be on the air tonight with its regular midweek program. The out- standing feature will be a concert by the Army Band. DISTANCE SEEKERS CAUSE OF HOWLS Heterodynes Are Blamed on Dial “Fishermen” Who Hunt Over Air. The radio reallocation, designed to do away with heterodyning and other man- made interference, is acting as bait fer another kind of interference that is raising as much havoc as the stations steering unsteady courses on their new frequency assignments. Antiquated re- gencrative receivers and other types of sets that in themselves are miniature broadcasting stations are setfing up cat howls and squawks that were not taken into consideration by Federal radio en- gineers. Listeners who have been mystified by these fugitive heterodynes, which occur only intermittently, need not be alarmed, according to engineers. This type of interference, which differs from the constant whistles caused by the station heterodynes, will oe short lived. Once the novelty of the realignment of stations wears off and the operatars of these inadvertent broadcasting stations are content to stay put on cne station’s program instead of romping around the dial, it will again become no: Now, it is apparent that fishing ex- peditions are being conducted on an extensive scale by owners of the sets that reradiate energy at every turn of the dial. News of the reallocation, with its promised improvement of reception, is sending all listeners after distance. They are not satisfiled to listen to one station for any length of time, and with the wanderlust that seems to have beset the entire country, keep casting a2bout for new and distant stations. The listeners owning the “broadcast- ing” sets interfere with the reception of r neighbors every time they go sta 'n hunting. These sets cause a whis. tle up and down the scale as the ope: ator is turning his dial in quest of a new station. If he tunes in accurately and leaves his dial alone, he will not radiate the impulses. But if his set left off-frequency—that is, “detuned” ¢ will cause the ‘whistle. Reports of good and bad radio under the revised line-up persist. To make an accurate appraisal of Nation-wide conditions is impossible at this time because of the varying local and even neighborhood conditions caused by the obsolete receiving sets. But the com- mission engineess are confident that the plan will work out even better than was expected. Every night will be a good night,” says the commission’s chief engineer, THE EVENING .

(L FINDERSSEE SHORTIAVEBANDS American Petroleum Indus- try Asks Radio Board for Use of Channels. BY MARTIN CODEL. The American petroleum industry has renewed its plea for enough rt- wave channels to conduct oil explora- tions by radio. This is one of the unique uses of radio, which Prof. C. M. Jansky, jr., the University ‘of Michigan radio engi- neer ‘and the industry’s consultant, has stated is fast replacing the divining rod and has already led to the discov- ery of oil defosxcs in the Southwest worth about $100,000,000. Prof, Jarisky, jr., was one of the ex= perts from the industry and Govern- ment bureaus who testified before the Federal Radio Commission yesterday at the hearing on applications for a series of high-frequency channels for geo- physical prospecting. - No real opposi- tion to the.requests developed, but the granting of the waves test depends largely upon the outcome of the con- ference of North American governments in the appointment of the high-fre- quency spectrum for continental uses. ‘This_conference will be held in Ot- tawa, Canada, at a date yet to be ar- ranged between the State Department and the other governments. It will probably take place during the latter g:n of this month or early in Decem- r, according to Willlam R. Vallance, assistant solicitor of the State Depart- & ment. Radio officials of Canada, Cuba, Mexico and the United States will participate, Shortage of Channels. Because geophysical explorations robably will be carried on in these countries also, it is expected that little difficulty will be experienced by the American interests in obtaining the small allotment of channels for non- exclusive use which they have sought. The chief drawback is due to shortage of channels for the indispensable ship- to-shore and aircraft communication services. A point regarding possible interfer- ence with communications services was also raised by Lieut. Comdr. D. A. Craven, U, 8. N, of the commission’s technical staff. Prof. Jansky replied that a minimum of interference might be expected from the use on only a handful of frequencies in the mobile Announcement De Moll & Co. Twelfth & G —announce with a great deal of pleasure their appointment as a rep- resentative for the Stromberg-Carlson Radio band between 1,500 and 6,000 kilos with very low power. It was also pointed out that most prospecting is being done in regions remete from radio statiéns. The public utility point was brought into this hearing. as in hearings on other uses of short waves, by Judge Ira E. Robinson of the radio board. The chairman of the commission again expressed doubt whether the law au- thorizes the commission to allot the precious waves to private rather than public service organizations. This argument was indefinite’” an- swered in the testimony of George Otis Smith, director of the United States Geological Survey. Without attempt- ing to pass upon the merits of indi- vidual applications, Dr. Smith declared that the public interest attaching to the oil industry is self-evident, and de- clared that the Government is com- mitted to a policy of co-operating with the private industry in exploring oil flelds and extending new ones. 1 Rescue of Miners. Memorandum from Scott Turner, di- rector of. the Bureau of Mines, to Secre- tary of Commerce Willlam F. Whiting was_introduced after being asked for by Dr. Frederick W. Lee of the Bureau of Mines. It called atténtion to the necessity of securing an allotment of radio frequencies for geophysical pro: pecting and for experiments in the res cue of entombed miners before all of the practical radio bands had been assigned to other uses. . he easily found mineral deposits, both of metals and of oil and gas. ve aonarently been located.” Mr. Turner {stated in that portion of his report de- scribing the way prospecting is. done by radio. “The remaining deposits are mostly those which are deeply covered or of which the structures are ob- scured. It is. therefore, plain that means for finding them other than the method heretofore in use must be de- veloped. “The newer methods are known as n:glmlcnl methods because they deal wi f i he physical characteristics of the crust,” Mr. Turner continued. “The methods are becoming more and more refined, and must continually be improved. A number of these methods depend on a signal from a central sta- tion which is received through the earth at stations some distance away. The retardation or acceleration of the tsignals through the earth gives a clue to the structures below, and thus to the location of desired deposit. In order to ascertain the retardation or accelera- tion of the signals through the earth, use is made of radio waves to signal Instantaneously to the various sta- tions. The radio signals are so ly instantaneous in their flight to the tions that they make a good yardstiok for n.easuring the speed of the earth waves.” Mr. Turner then pointed out that by determining the location of structures favorable to the occurrence of oil the industry is in a position itself better and avoid wi but he urged that no exclusive rights be given to any organizations m these fields. Dr. William Bowie, director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, also testi- fled on scientific aspects of geophysical exniorations by such methods. Like his colleagues in the Government service, he did not indorse specific apj tions. In addition to Prof. Jansky. &‘m- se! for the National Petroleum Refiners® Association, Fayette P. Dowe, presented other witnesses from various large coms panies in the oil industry. (Cepyright, 1928. by Nerth American Néwspaper Alliunce.)
