SHORT WAVE GRANT FIGHT IN CONGRESS Award to Universal Bobs Up in House Subcommittee Hearing. Bs the Assoclated Press. When the Federal Radio Commis- sioners granted 40 short waves to the Universal Wireless Communications Co., a radio newcomer, a lot of static was stirred up. Officials, lawyers and engineers of the Radio C oration of America descend- ed en masse on th» commission to pro- tost e failure to grant the R. C. A. wave lengths for the establishment of a domestic radio telegraph system simi- lar to that proposed by the Universal. “Why are we—pioneers in the devel- npment of radio communication and essing the experience and appara- essential to the success of this gre: service to the public—passed up? v asked. The commercial telegraph companies | suddenly took notice of their new com- petitor.” Although some high officials of the wire companies expressed skep- ticism of radio competing with land lines, emissaries of these companies soon appeared at the commission’s of- fices to find out what it was all about. Grant Under Fire. And now the commission's grant to the Univer:~l is under fire in Congress. It bobbed u» in the House committee's hearing on radio administration with the announcement by Representative Free of California that the committee wanted to know whether the commis- sion had done the right thing by award- ,,,-, the channels to the Universal over he applications of the Radio Corpora= -'m and the Mackay Radio and Tele- graph Co. He said that he had information that | the Lnlvexsa] “did not have the suitable | pparatus.” Senator Dill, co-author of the radio | act, also wants to know more about the Universal company. He declares the matter will be thoroughly m\esugnted at the Senate hearings on radio. On the other hand, Senator Dill on several occasions has denounced the alleged monopoly created by the Radio Cor- poration and affiliated companies. He has a resolution pending in the Senate that the Attorney General obtain evidence against the R. C. A. gathered by the Federal Trade Commission and | take such action as the evidence war- rants. Rival Sits Tight. Meanwhile Dr. John Nathansohn, ‘Washington representative of the Uni- versal, who obtained the grant from the commission, is sitting tight with his 40 channels and potential competi- tors guessing. To the charge of rivals that secrecy and mystery have cloaked the opera- tions of the company he replies that it must guard its devices against the encroachments of possible competimrs The question of a stock issue is up to the directors of the company, who are Buffalo business men capable of financ- ing the system themsclves, he says. John W. Henry, president of the Vim gxc!e Auto Co. of Buffalo is the presi- ent. Members of the commission explain that the Radio Corporation and the Mackay company were not refused ad- mittance to th> domestic radio tele- graph field, but that action on their applications was deferred. The Uni- versal company has been given a year to get its service started. Radio history shows that almost any- thing can happen in that period. e COLUMBIA SYSTEM AND A. B. C. WILL JOIN Subsidiary and Peient Company Will Be Merged to Provide Unified Service. Special Dispatch to The Star, NEW YORK, February 2.—The offices and studios of the Columbia Broadcast- ! ing System and its subsidiary, the At- lantic Broadcasting Co. will be merged soon, it was reported this week. The Atlantic Broadcasting Co., under which name WABC, the C. B. 8. key station, is operated, is at present located in the Steinway Hall Building, 113 West Fifty-seventh Street, while its parert organization ‘is located in the Para- mount Building, at Times Square. A Times Square site is said to he favored and that the entire unified system may be housed in the Para- mount Building is believed likely. Paul Greene, manager of WABC, and technical supervisor of the C. B. 8., as- serted that the rapid expansion of the chain_necessitates larger quarters for ‘WABC, which will be unified with the chain. Limited Quarters Are Handicap. “We are working under a handicap at | present due to our limited quarters and the rapid expansion of programs,” he explained. “I am at present drawing up plans with William 8. Paley for new quarters. No particular site, however, is decided upon as yet. The present separation of the Columbia offices from the WABC offices will also be elim- inated when the plan goes through. “WABC will continue to create indi- vidual program ideas. Simplicity and | eficiency will be the keywords in the | rovements.” ice Columbia obtained WABC the A. H. Grebe firm the latter unit moved out and its entire quarters were taken over for WABC use. Several taff adddmons and substitutions were ade. ne, the new manager of the sta- tion and technical supervisor of the chain, was formerly on the staff of Sta- tion WSAT of Cincinnati. The WABC announcing staff now in- cludes Edward B. Husing, Ralph Went- worth, David Rosenthal, Bradford Browne and Jefferson Sparks. Other | members of the staff who freguently | handle the microphone are Ernest E. | p2l], C. M. Bosworth and Willlam uldt, jr. Bosworth, formerly on the WOR now heads the newly formed bia Artists’ Bureau, which pre- program continuities and supplies for WABC. two WABC studios atop the g ere now supplemented by one io of the Judson Radio Frogram mnratinn in the same building.
