i8 BOARD T0 SETTLE SHORT-WAVE GASE Indications Point to Decision Soon on Universal Wire- less Application. BY MARTIN CODEL. An announcement by the Federal Radio Commission within a few days will reveal its disposition of the highly | important communication channels in | the long and short wave bands. Most | jmportant of the decisions will be one that may grant a franchise for the| establishment of a new radio-telegraph network linking the larger cities of the TUnited States and competing directly with existing wire services. Although the commission is main- taining the utmost secrecy about its decisions on the non-broadcasting bands, the indications today were that the Universal Wireless Communications Co. will be awarded enough channels for the domestic message-carrying net- work. This concern, a newcomer in the radio field, is backed by a group of Buffalo capitalists, and is reputed to be sufficiently fortified with patents to es-1 tablish tHe service without outside aid. The Radio Corporation of America and the Mackay Radio & Telegraph Co., the latter affiliated with the Postal Telegraph System, will probably awarded. additional nels for foreign communication may also secure cha for_point-to- point wireless services along the Pacific Coast and on the Great Lakes. But their applications for intercity mnet- vorks, rivaling or supplementing the wire system and, serving as “feeders” into their transatlantic and trans- pacific circuits, will probably be re- jected in favor of the Universal group.i Ask 100 Licenses. The principle of duplicating land wire systems with radio is known to be opposed by Canadian radio officials, end their attitude toward the American move will be watched with interest. The Universal company proposes to establish itself wholly as a public serv- ice company, subject to public utility regulation. It has asked for more than 100 licenses for stations in as many cities in the United States. The question of monopoly in com- munications, the law’s requirement that wire and wireless companies shall not be combined, and the nation-wide serv- ice promised by the Universal company, have served to win over a majority of the commission, led by Chairman Ira E. Robinson, to the advent of a new operator in the radio field. The net- works proposed by the Radio Corpora- tion of America and Postal interests would have - covered about 35 cities each. It is understood that allotments of short waves for emergency uses by power companies, police, railroads, fire- boats and airplane landing fields will be made by the commission, effective January 1. No specific channel assign- ments will be announced until later. The tesk thus far concluded merely consisted of setting aside certain por- tions of the radio spectrum for special classes of use, and indicating some of them that shall use the bands. ‘The decision of Saturday not to re- new licenses for picture and television transmission in the broadcasting band is believed to affect only WGY, Sche- nectady, and WIBO, Chicago. It was reached upon recommendation of the engineers of the commission after argu- ments that the experimental picture signals are likely to cause interference with program broadcasting. There was a question also whether the interna- tional treaty authorized television with- in that band. Bands of short waves will be reserved for picture and tele- vision work. Favors Board of Seven. ‘The radio-telegraph feature of the work of the Federal Radio Commission emphasizes the importance of the growing attitude in Congress that the commission should be reconstructed as an agency governing all forms of com- munication, Senator Watson, chair- man of the Interstate Commerce Com- mittee, to some extent has crystallized that attitude by introducing a bill to establish a communications commis- sion with authority over the telephone, telegraph, cable and radio. Senator Watson bill is much the same as the several times intro- duced by Senator Couzens of Michigan. He proposes a seven-man control board to take over all communication func- tions, including rate-making jurisdic- tion, now cised by the Federal Ra- dio Commission, the Department of Commerce and the Interstate Com- merce Commission. In view of the encroachment radio has already made upon the cable busi- ness and the likelihood that radio will compete with the telegraph services within the country, the prospect of such legislation is growing. Senator ‘Watson, however, declared when he in- troduced the measure that he expected no action on it during the present short session. Right now he favors a one- year extension of the Federal Radio Commission. The whole problem of domestic and foreign communications, he says, will undoubtedly come before the Seventy-first Congress.

By the Associated Press DANVILLE, Opportunity has been given to listeners in this section to gauge the result of the new alloca- tions. The consensus is that radio re- ception has improved More new stations are heard without interference than was the before November 11 and the “graveyard” which formerly was a continuous whine of heterodvnes has cleared to a point where some stations can be heard. Many listeners report hearing Los Angeles at about 10 o'clock. Chief erit- icism is over the blanket effect by WLW at Cincinnati, which overiaps stations on either side, ineluding, especially, ‘WOR at Newark. Even delicately tuned sets cannot completely eradicate this trouble, though there have been in- ytances when the Newark station came through strongly. One of the chief benefits is the ability §0 hear regional stations which hitherto have not come through. LANGMUIR IS ELECTED.

USE OF RADIO TO FIGHT BLAZES IN HARBOR Department Finds ‘Wireless Indispensable for Boat Service. Boston Fire The importance of radio in another public service function—fighting harbor fires—is revealed in an appeal to the Federal Radio Commission for increased power for the shore station of the Bos- ton Fire Department. The radio service employed by the department in its harbor patrol is in- dispensable, Eugene C. Hultman, fire commissioner of Boston, told the com- mission. He asked for an increase from 712 to 50 watts, declaring the present power handicapped operation of the service. Three fireboats equipped with short- wave appamatus keep in communication with the shore station, which gives in- structions. A wave length with less interference also was requested by the department, which has been using 119 meters. Lieut. Comdr. T. A. M.

Attempt Made to Assassinate “Dingbat” Oberta by Gang, CHICAGO, December 24 (#).—A plot to assassinate John “Dingbat” Oberta, thirteenth ward committeeman and pal of Joe Saltis, was uncovered yesterday, when police learned that a timed dynamite bomb powerful enough to wreck the building was planted in a restaurant where Oberta and several friends were dining. ‘Th2 bomb, concealed in a valise, was taken into the restaurant, Deputy Po- lice Commissioner Stege said, by Daniel McGeoghan, a rival gangster, who placed it a few feet from Oberta’s table and then left. Shortly afterward Oberta heard a ticking sound from the grip and opened it. McGeoghan is being held.

Television loses its battle to remain in the broadcast band during its infancy or within the reach of the listener who considers the experimentation worth his while. On probation since October 31, to prove its public merit even at this stage of its development, television has been adjudged by the Federal Radio Com- misston as guilty of creating undue in- terference with audible reception, and has ordered all visual broadcasting to the short waves, effective January 1. A special band of frequencies in the short wave spectrum will be allocated to care for experimental television and picture broadcasting. To the radio fan who has been tinkering with visual re- ception through special attachments for his_ receiving set, it will mean that he will have to procure a special short- wave receiver, much more difficult to operate than the broadcast receiver at- tachment. Placed on Probation. In placing visual broadcasting on pro- bation last October 31, the commission stated that the extent to which. it would be permitted in the broadcast band after January 1, if at all, would be deter- mined by the results of the operation with respect to interference and its popularity with the general public. It has not met these qualifications. Only Commissioner Caldwell opposed the move to relegate visual broadcast- He says it will seriously impede its development, being out of the reach of practically all lis- teners, and consequently will be unable to derive the benefits of the public re- action. Radio officials and engineers were agreed that television eventually would find itself in the short waves, th 4"&0 ’T‘om';ht SOPHIE TUCKER Vivacious, sparkling ex- ponent of modern comedy and song .. .. she sends Old Broadway’s “Merry Christmas” wish to you in the Vitaphone Jubilee tonight....

It was just a question of time— whether ghe early experimentation would be permitted, under rigid regula- tion, to continue within the broadcast band, to the benefit of the television- inclined radio fan, or whether it would have to nestle practically from the be- ginning in the higher frequencies. Chairman Robinson of the commission consistently has opposed permitting tele- vision on the regular channels. He characterized such a step as premature and not in the interest of the public. The commission’s action, in substance, is a vindication of his view. (Copyrigtit, 1928, by the Consolidated Press.) Varied Program Planned.
