BB e AIRTRANSPORT MEN SEEKU. 3. RADIO AID Operators Confer With Gov- ernment Over Installation | of Ground Stations. BY MARTIN CODEL. Alr transport operators, looking to the day when all passenger-carrying air- craft will maintain constant radio-tele- jhone communication with the ground, Euve sent their radio experts to Wash- ington to discuss plans for the more extensive adaptation of radio to avia- tion. Their conferences here this week, under the auspices of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, have already |1 led to a tentative scheme for establish- ing a privately-operated network of radio stations aiong the airways to sup- plement the one being installed by the Government. To a technical subcommittee has been | 1 delegated the task of investigating into the best methods for utilizing the 64 10:30a—Advertisers’ short-wave channels recently allotted aviation by the Federal Radio Commis- | 1 sion. It is headed by Thorp Hiscock of its members is Herbert Hoover, jr., son of the President-elect, who is_leaving his Guggenheim fellowship at Harvard to become radio technician for the Western Air Express of Los Angeles, beginning February 1. For the first time in the history of aeronautics and radio, unified policies regarding the use of radio in flight have been formulated by the air operators. Radio-telephony, rather than radio- | 1 telegraphy, has been generally accepted | 1 as the desired method of communica- tion with the commercial planes flying the airways. A co-operatively operated chain of stations, rather than affiliation with any of the projected domestic com- mercial radio systems, is proposed in the recommendations adopted by the conferences. Seek Greater Safety. The experts are proceeding on a theory that they themselves are respon- sible for increasing the safety of air traffic, and they indicated that they would oppose efforts to classify their proposed system as a public utility. Newly established air transport lines, | they agreed, will be taken into the co- operative agreement if traffic permits. |1 Their radio network project, however, |1 will have no more commercial and profit-making features than the block signaling system has in railroading, ac- cording to Mr. Hiscock. That they will insist upon priority along with ships in the so-called mobile band of high frequencies was indicated clearly by the technicians. They rec- ommended that channels allowed by the Federal radio authorities be allo- cated exclusively to the various chains, but that reservations should be made in adjacent wave bands for parallel chains when found necessary, due to expansion of traffic. If the wave lengths they obtain are not enough, they will insist upon more, since radio is|! the only means of communicating with | 1 aircraft. ‘The chief difficulty faced by the oper- ators is uncertainty regarding the chan- nels most efficient for communicating with planes.. Another problem is that of obtaining efficient receiving and transmitting equipment. The technical committee is remaining in Washington for an indefinite period to study the developments in this fleld by the Army, Navy and Bureau of Standards. The conferences were attended by repre- sentatives of commercial companies in- terested in producing aircraft radio equipment. Situation Confused. Different experiences of the several air transport companies which have al- ready made some progress in Ti have served only to confuse the situ: re- specting the relative merits of various high-frequency channels for communi- cation purposes. There was consensus among the experts that the broadcast- ing band was the best suited for radio- telephony, but the use of wave lengths interfering with reception is accepted as being out of the question. At best the short waves are regarded as a field for considerable mare experi- menting. A demand will also be made for a quota of long waves. Opinion in the aeronautical industry that the Government should provide all radio aids required for safe flying was answered in a statement by Capt. F. C. Hingsburg, chief engineer of the De- partment of Commerce airways division. He asserted that the airways division feels the operators over any one route have the direct responsibility for the safety of their passengers, and there- fore should establish their own system for communicating weather, directional and landing data and messages involv- ing the convenience, comfort and safety of their passengers. ‘The airways radio network being es- tablished by the Government, Capt. Hingsburg reported, has already linked New York and Cleveland via Bellefonte, Pa. Stations are also being installed along the transcontinental airways at Bryan, Ohio: Maywood, Ill.; Omaha and North Platte, Neb.; Cheyenne and Rock Springs, Wyo.; Salt Lake City; Elko and Reno, Nev., and Oaklane Calif. There is a station at Key West, Fla., and sites have been obtained and equipment ordered for “feeder” radio routes, with stations at La Cross, Wis.; Kansas City, Wichita, Fresno, Calif.; Los Angeles, Portland and Medford, Oreg. Besides Chairman Hiscock and Mr. Hoover, the operators’ technical com- mittee includes Paul - Goldsborough, Universal Aviation Corporation; H. C. Lenteritz, Pan-American Airways; E. ‘W. Proctor, National Air Transport, and H. J. Walls, Department of Commerce. Among the 25 air transport, Commer- cial Radio Co. and Government repre- sentatives who participated in the con- ferences were L. D. Seymour, National Air Transport; Charles L. Watson, Boe- ing Air Transport; Dan Bartlett, Trans- continental Air Transport: A. A. Lilly, Seaboard Airways; H. A. Elliott and H. T. Merrill, Pitcairn Aviation; L. W. Whittemore, R, W.

Bizet's opera, “Pearl Fishers,” origi- nally scheduled for presentation by the United Opera Co. December 28, will be broadcast tonight by WMAL and its naokchved stations in the Columbia net- work. ‘The opera will be given in three acts, condensed to fit the limitation of an hour. The story tells of the love of two Singhalese pearl fishers for the priestess, Leila, and of the generosity of the unsuccessful rival, who helps the lovers to escape at the cost of his own life. The Columbians, the popular sym- phonic jazz orchestra, another WMAL attraction, have arranged a varied program, which includes a modern Russian piece, “Yamakoff”; an Argen- tine selection, “Oh Yah Yah” and “Shanghai Gesture.” WMAL's other Columbia features are “Close Ups,” which will depict the film- ing of a romantic motion picture, and the Merrymakers, who will stage a program similar to the one last week, in which mirth and gayety prevailed. 428.3—WLW Cincinnati—700 9:30—House concert. 10:00—Burnt Corkers; instrumental. 11:30—Dance hour. 280.2—WTAM-WEAR - Cleveland—1,070 6:00—Piano; hotel orchestra. 17:00—Singing School; musical. 8:00—Song Shop; Sentinels. 9:00—Singers. 9:30—Musical programs. 10:30—Dance orchestra. 398.8—WCX-WJIR Detroit—750 6:00—Orchestra; dinner muslc. 7:00—Michigan Night. 8 naders; Sparkers.
