AIR MAIL INCIDENT ON WAL TONIGHT Story of Transportation of Lindbergh Films ‘Subject of Broadcast. A dramatic incidert in the history Ml the night air mail will be introduced over WMAL and other Columbia Broad- casting System stations tonight. Chicago by of Lindbergh's reception in Mexico City will be the subject of this broad- cast. These films were not ready when scheduled, and the mail plane pilots | were compelied to make up the two hours’ delay in order to get them to Chicago on time. How they succeeded and how in achieving that success all kinds of perils of the air had to be overcome will form the basis of the program. The Columbians, the largest popular Jazz orchestra on the air, also will be another WMAL feature. The program tonight is designed to demonstrate the possibilities of applying symphonic in- terpretations to modern popular music or modern interpretations to less rhyth- mic numbers. Grofe's popular “Free Air” will be presented symphonically as one of the out-‘anding illustrations. * “In My Boquet of Memo- y the Waters of Minnetonka” e Spell of the Blues” Sumbers on the program. The N. R. Millionaires, the La Palina smoker, night club romances and the Kolster program complete the list of Columbia attractions on WMAL's sched- ule. The Millionaires have arranged a program of popular music. The La Palina smoker also will contain popular numbers, both vocal and instrumental. A trip to the movies will be the event in the Kolster program, The night club episode will consist of unusual dance music and a drama of night club life. The Palmolive hour, one of WRC's principal features tonight, will be pro- vided, 2s usual, by the ‘Palmolive Revel- ers, Olive Palmer, soprano; Elizabeth Lennox, contralto, and Paul Oliver, tenor. There will be the customary pymphony and specialtv orchestra fea- tures, under the direction of Gustave ‘Haenschen, and three ensemble num- pers with orchestra accompaniment. The Ipana Troubadours and the ‘weekly resume of the political situation 4n Washington by Frederic William ‘Wile are other WRC attractions. The TTroubadours will introduce their aug- mented string section.

HOME PUT UNDER SEALS. PARIS, December 19 (#)—The Ga- kette du Franc case took a new turn to- day, when police placed seals on the residence of Henri Dumay, who resigned yesterday as director of the daily news- rper Quotidien. The Quotidien, which owned by Jean Hennessy, minister of mgriculture, is alleged to have turned ver advertising and financial pages to terpresse, a subsidiary company of the Gazette. Approximately $10,000 & month was received for this. Dumay’s son, who was advertising imanager, was also alleged to have re- ceived commission, which he later gurned over to a charitable organization. Dumay, although French born, was a newspaper man in Missouri for some years and later was Paris correspondent ©of a New York newspaper. 000“0“000“0“0 Graybar Hammerlund $000005000000000000000000000000000000 Radio—Big Buy!

C. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 19, HIGH POWER GIVEN CHICAGO STATION Commission Grants WENR Right to Use 50,000 Watts. BY MARTIN CODEL. The Westward caurse of high-power broadcasting is illustrated by the fact that Station WENR, Chicago, now has its long-sought license to use 50,000 watts during the evening hours. Sta- tion WCFL, Chicago, will soon operate with similar power, and superpower stations are also building in such cities as Nashville, Dallas, St. Louis and Los A"J"” hicago obtained its first station of maximum power by decisions of the Federal Radio Commission in the three- corner fight for radio privileggs grow- ing out of the application of the Sam- uel Insull broadcasting subsidiary, op- e;.wr of WENR, for more hours on the air, This is the contest which drew the fire of the Progressive group of Sena- tors, who at a recent hearing urged the commission not to grant any rights to the Insull station on account of its potential use for public utility propa- ganda. The commission’s newly an- nounced decision gives WENR full power, but denies it more than its pre- CONCERT ORCHESTRA Tune in Tonight on WMAL - 10 P.M.

A few if you want one. 1998 viously allotted two-sevenths evening time, or the equivalent of two nights a ‘week on the air. Station WLS, Chicago, using the other five-sevenths time on the same wave length, was denied the full time it requested, and its application for a construction permit to build a 100,000~ watt transmitter was not granted. Sta- tion WCED, Zion City, Iil, the Wilbur Glenn Voliva station, was also refused the one hour a night it sought on the same channel. Make It Widely Heard. The net effect of these several de- cisions is a retention of the status quo, except for the increase in power of WENR. The boost from 5,000 watts to 50,000 watts should make this station, like WLW, Cincinnati, latest addition to high-power ranks just preceding, one of the most widely heard stations in America, For nower it is matched in the Chicago area only by WGN, which has but 25,000 watts. In recent months WENR has been experimenting after mi]{nlght with 50,000 with excellent re- sults. The grant of the increased power is a compromise within the commission's ranks. The members are still split on the problem of superpower, some favor- ing-high power on the cleared channels and a vigorous element opposing it. The Chicago station had been author- ized to construct its 50-kilowatt trans- mitter, and the question arose whether the commission was not committed to licensing it to use full power after the %taft.lon had been built ut a tremendous cos With such a merger allotment of time, however, the station’s counsel un- doubtedly will make further representa- tions to the commission. Operates Two Nights. Operating only two nights a week, or with drastic time divisions with WLS, as at present, means a continued heavy financial loss to the operators of the station. They will either seek more time on anothe: frequency or have re- course to the courts wth a claim of undue limitation of property rights. The course that WLS will pursue is problematical. If it is satisfled to re- tain five-sevenths time on the present channel, its operators more than likely will change their power application to 50,000 watts. There is practically no chance to obtain the 100,000 watts, a similar application by WGY, Schenec- | tady, having been turmed down only recently. That the WENR power decision will awaken reaction in Congress is re- garded as a certainty. Not only the ownesship of the station but the prin- ciple of high powér will be involved in the debate. The decision will be as un- popular with certain elements in Con- gress, particularly the Senators who have been waging a fight against public utility publicity methods, as the con- tinued time restrictions must be eco- | nomically unacceptable to the station | management. It is one of the boldest steps ever taken by the Federal Radio Commission. (Copyright, 1928, by MNorth American Newspaper Alliance.) STRAUS INTERVENES.
