The program will continue from the time the parade starts until 9 pm.

Plans for 30-Minute Delay. Those who are in a position to sit close to their-scanning disks, however, will see the parade withing 30 minutes after it has been glimpsed by the crowds in Washington. It is pointed out that pictures taken of the parade when it leaves the Capitol will be avail- able to the television audience in scattered parts of the courb.ry at about the exact time that portion of it swings around the Treasury Building on its ‘way past the White House. The films will average 200 feet in length .and will be run through the transmitter at the rate of about 15 feet per second.

Especially since the League, what- ever you may think of it, seems to be keen to the vast possibilities there are in reaching all the world's millions in a single instant of time. Of course, there is still the lanlulfi one language and then in another. We do not hear much of Esperanto nowadays, but isn't it possible that the almost dally progress in short-wave | broadcasting means that & world lan- guage will have to be involved? At the last world conference at Geneva this possibility was discussed informally and I do not think the idea is so visionary as it might seem at first glance. In ordinary radio broadcasting we receive lots of requests that certain things be broadcast in different lan- guages. Here in America there are thousands anxious to learn, whose Eng- lish isn't good enough to t them to understand the average lecture, who want some intelligible version of the vast radio educational and entertaln- ment output.

Rebroadcasting in Evening. ‘This will continue while the parade is in progress and will them be rebroad- cast in the evening. To overcome show- ing pictures of the parade in reverse form, as would be the case in looking at a photographic film, the electrical equipment of the television transmit- ter will be reversed, Mr. Jenkins said. The transmission will be over .two short wave channels which were grant- ed to the Jenkins Co. last week by the Federal Radio Commission.

The “s” sounds that give so much trouble in the “talki would, of course, be cut down and the language would be scientifically built with regard to vowels and consonants best for radio audition.

U, MARCH 3, 1929-PART %’ Nations, containing the European lead- ers, takes the lead in sending the radio voice over the world. t, if they reached their proposed objec! and that world radio communications were always instantly practicable, the question of what the League might say into the microphone would be of supreme importance. But this seems to me a secondary considera- tion. People who find means of con- versing in a friendly way usually find the proper thing to say. When Fred- erick the Great mentioned a certain Voltaire said, “I hate that “I thought you didn't know him.” said Frederick. don’ 1d Voltaire, “That's why I hate him.’ Music, of course, needs no one to rig an international language for it. I have an idea that if, every once in a while, they would broadcast Schumant , internationally, singing perhaps a cradle-song berceuse, in almost any language, there would be less chances of somebody starting a war. Reading the League’s dry announcement of its broadcasting experiments, one would conclude that any human significance in its plan was the last thing it had in mind—but there is deep human sig- nificance behind it, in spite of all the pussy-footing caution of international officialdom. Maybe some day the League will go S0 far as to let Phil Carlin crack & few jokes for their microphone—but I suppose that's going too far. (Copyright, 1929.) STUDENTS’ STATION ESTABLISHES MARK Two-Way Communieation Between Kentucky and Australia Con- tinues Two Hours. dents of University of Kentucky who operate short wave station W9JL claim the record for two-way radio communi- cation between the United States and Australia. ‘The claim is based on a continuous two-hour communication with DK5WR, owned by W.

The Australian station reported the weather warm. At the end of the two-hour conversa- tion, DK5WR reported: “QSA5,” which station is coming clear and loud. ‘The University of Kentucky station uses twa 75-watt tubes, and a special %n of antenna ed by Isaae tkins, operator of the station.
