More than 20 technical papers are to be presented at that time. Among the inspection trips will be | one to the Naval Research Laboratory and a visit to the Bureau of Standards. A varied program of interest to wives | >f the institute members is being ar- | ranged. TURKEY DECLARES WAR ON BOOTLEG RADIO SETS | Company Owning Government Mo- nopoly Says “Pirates” Tune In on Programs. ANGORA, Turkey, () —The Turkish government has declared war on boot- leg radio. To own a radio set in Turkey one | must obtain a government permit, and | pay *he equivalent of $5. The Turkish | Radio Society. which holds a monopoly | granted by the government, has com- | plained to the authorities that there 1s a | growing number of contraband sets tun- | ing in on the soclety’s programs. The authorities have ordered the police to | track down these cases and to finc all “radio pirates.” Radio has taken so poorly in Turkey that the soclety holding the monopoly, which includes both the sale of appa- ratus and exclusive broadcasting rights, would have gone bankrupt this year had | not the government come to its rescue with a subsidy of $20,000 and a curtail- ment of the society’s financial cbliga- tions to the state Sets Half Price for Education.

SENATORS OFFER THREE RADIO BILLS Couzens, Watson and Nye Present Measures Affecting Broadcasting. ‘While it is considered unlikely that Congress will tackle any radio legisla- tion at the special session, three bills on. broadcasting .drafted by Senators await consideration, A bill by Senator Couzens of Michi- gan, provides for the establishment of a communications commission to regu- late all forms of radio transmission. Senator Watson ‘of Indiana, has a similar bill for the creation of a com- mission with authority over eommuni- cations like that vested in the Inter- state Commerce Commission for regu- lation of transportation. Senator Nye of North Dakota is the author of a bill which provides for the establishment of a Government radio station in Washington to be ‘used in transmitting executive department news and to broadcast debates in Congress on_important issues. ‘The bill also stipulates that political parties could use the station after set- ting forth a declaration of principles. It empowers the Secretary of Com- merce to select a site and provide equipment. Senator Couzens says the time has come when steps should be taken to regulate rates charged for the transmis- sion of telegrams, . cablegrams, radio- grams and for the use of telephone Iines. The public is peculiarly unpro- tected in this respect, he said. Senator Watson probably will not seek action on his bill until the regular ses- sion of Congress next December as he believes the special session sohuld be limited to consideration of farm relief and tariff measures. ” BLUES.

In a few cases, however, the time of the regular network attractions have been reduced be- cause of the schedule revision. ‘Thls is' true particularly of the | Tower Health Exercises, normally | a 75-minute program, which WRC will broadcast during the Summer | for only 30 minutes, from 6:45 to 7:15 a.m. The changes also will curtail slightly the period of activity of |the network stations. While a {vast majority of them have not planned to begin operating any earlier in the morning, most of them will “sign off” an hour sooner at night. Because it is the center of radio entertainment distribution, New York City controls the program schedules of all of the stations in the country connected with the chains, and the broadcasters will be compelled, from year to year, to rearrange their schedules to comply with the daylight-saving time in the metropolis, whether or not they like it. The most unusual situation re- sulting from the rearrangement of schedules exists in Minneapolis, where part of the city is on day- light-saving time and the other part. remains on standard time. In order to maintain a minimum of confusion, the stations there identified with the chain systems have decided to continue opera- tion on standard time. * K x X The gold medal award of the | American Academy of Arts and Sciences to Milton J. Cross of the | National Broadcasting Co. for good diction over the radio ob- viously was popular among the radio listeners of the country who ' have heard the voice of this vet- eran radio announcer. Since the |announcement Tuesday of his se- |lection as the winner in the good diction contest Cross has received hundreds of messages of congrat- ulations. As was intimated in this column | last Bunday, the award went to an nouncer whose early career was in ithe studio of a local station. iCross was WRC's first announcer, | coming here August 1, 1923, when | the station opened, to do the an- | nouncing. Later he returned-to {New York, but he has come back to Washington on notable occa- sions to assist Graham McNamee and other outstanding announcers with special broadcasts. When {Lindbergh returned from his epoch-making flight to Paris. ross described the parade from a point of vantage in the Capito! ‘;dome. and more recently, during the Hoover inaugural ceremonies, he was stationed before a micro- i phone on the Capitol steps. The award came as a distinct surprise to Cross, and he yet seems a bit puzzled over the de- cision of the judges. “I realize that one of my many limitations is the slowness of my mental process,” he said. “I am justifi- ably known as what is called a | slow thinker, and I have often felt that this mental deliberateness has been reflected in my speech. with a consequent undesirable ef- fect upon the listener. And so 1 am not yet clear as to whether this is an asset, or a liability off- | set by the other qualifications, or | a point entirely overlooked by the | fudges.

He is a native of |New York, and commenced his |announcing activities back in 11921, when WJZ was located in Newark, and operated by the Radio Corporation of America. | ERE I A survey conducted recently by | the National Radio Institute, ac- | cording to J. E. Smith, president, | shows that the radio receiver is| |used from two to eight hours a day, with four hours as the fair| | average, or eight times more than | iwas the case in the early days of | | broadcasting. | | “Since the average family de—l | mands from 1,500 to 3,000 hours | of radio entertainment a year| from its sets,” says Mr. Smith, | |“tubes which usually carry a| 11,000-hour guarantee, should be | replaced two or three times a| | year. The radio set, too, must be | | better built to withstand this | | more intensive use. Whereas the | | early AC sets were built for a nor- | {mal use of a thousand hours or | less a year, and had a total life |of 10,000 hours, due to the wear | |and tear on the filter condensers, | | the present sets make use of filter | condensers with a far greater life. | !so that they will last for many | years.” E | The Bureau of Standards, which has been making an ex-| haustive study in the last several | Imonths of fading, one of the| most troublesome phenomena confronting the development ol; radio communication, found that | the variations of signal strength | of long-wave transoceanic radio | stations are extremely rapid. While the signals of the radio telegraph stations within 200 miles of Washington, which were studied, were so rapid that it was necessary to record them auto- matically continuously day and {night, the bureau learned that the variations are the result of changes in the conditions of the. upper atmosphere when a part of | the waves are believed to be re- flected down to the receiving sta- | tion where they interfere with the waves coming along the ground. In addition to showing the va- riations in the signals of the in- dividual stations, the recorder used in the study also permitted observations to be made of the re- markable differences in fading from two stations situated in the same place when the two signals pass over the same path at the same time with a slight difference of wave length. ' Another outstanding discoverv | during the test was that severe | storms produce marked changes (on fading. often lasting for sev- | eral days in the usual fading pat- | tern of certain stations. | Crosley to Build New Plant.
