EXGHANGE O RADD OVERSEAS PLARNE English and French Programs May Be Heard Over U. S. Stations. BY MARTIN CODEL. Franco-American exchanges of radio programs may be added to the Anglo- American broadcasts planned by the National Broadcasting Co. Word comes from Paris that M. H. Aylesworth, pres- ident of the National Broadcasting Co., has offered to broadcast a regular hour m Paris, if the French will erect a powered €hori-wave station sult- able for relaying the programs across the Atlantic so that they can be picked up and rebroadcast over the American network. The Anglo-American programs were definitely arranged by Mr. Aylesworth while in London last week. With Sir John Reith, president of the British Broad- casting Co., he entered into an agree- ment whereby important broadcasting events in England will be relayed to the United States and offered on the Amer- ican chain. It is understood that the British statfon at Chelmsford will have to be boosted in power to carry its sig- nals across the ocean successfully. On their own part, the British and French broadcastgs can obtain Ameri- can programs fa'v consistently today by tuning in the short-wave broadcasts from high-powered American chain sta- tions like KDKA and WGY and re- broadcasting through their own sta- tions. Great Britain has a well organized chain of stations, owned and operated by the government. France's privately operated stations are not linked for chain programs, and the radio audience of France is not large. Study German System. From Paris, Mr. Aylesworth is sched- uled to proceed to Berlin to study the German broadcasting system. Whether he will make a similar offer to inter- change programs with the Germans could not be learned from the New York offices of the National Broadcast- ing Co. In Germany he will find a highly developed broadcasting system under government ownership, but oper- ated under concessions. Germany’s radio engineers are among the world’s best, and they would be well qualified to carry on any kind of experiments with the Americans. Seasonal, diurnal and atmospheric variations that play havoc with long distance short-wave transmissions, par- ticularly when they are low-powered, have balked all serious efforts thus far to exchange programs with the British. It has been concluded that it is virtual- ly impossible to schedule beforehand any orchestrad or group musical pro- grams for short-wave relays to either side of the Atlantic on account of static and fading. Voice, however, usually comes through clearly. Accordingly, the plan of the broadcasting officials is to give the American and British radio audiences the opportunity to hear important speeches or accounts of great sporting events. Thus the American people will be able to hear such notables as George and the Prince of Wales when- ever they deliver important speeches or accounts of events like the Derby races. ‘The British will hear President Hoover's speeches, descriptions of championship prize fights and the like. nouncers abroad to co-operate with the British announcers in carrying the story of the various events to the Amer- ican audience. Admits Owning Radio Stock. ©On his European trip Mr. Aylesworth is accompanied by Charles W. Horn, former radio ehief of the Westinghouse Co., which has five stations on the National Broadcasting chain. Mr. Horn recently joined the staff of the chain organization as general engineer. He went to Europe to arrange the technical details of the international plans. Ownership of about 100 shares each of American Telephone and Telegraph Co. and General Electric Co. stock was admitted by Gen. Charles McK. Saltzman, recently appointed to the Federal Radio Commission, while testi- fying before the Senate committee on interstate commerce Tuesday. Because the radio act expressly forbids any commissioner from being financially in- terested in the mmuucmcr.em:; of ‘The committee then favorably reported { the nominations of both Gen. Saltzman, Wwho will represent the fourth zone, and William D. L. Starbuck, New York pat- ent attorney, who will represent the first zone. Gen. Saltzman is a Republican from Jowa. Mr. Starbuck is a Democrat from New York and Connecticut. The former is a Hoover selection, having been close- ly affilisted with the President as a delegate to the International Radio ‘Telegraph Conference held in Washing- ton in 1927. Mr. Starbuck was recommended, he told the committee, by former Am- bassador James Gerard and by Arthur Batcheller, radio supervisor for the New York district, who was himsel! nominated for the first zone post by President Coolidge, but who_failed of confirmation by the Senate. Both Gen. Saltzman and Mr. Starbuck are now certain of confirmation by the Senate, probably within the next few days. (Copyright, 1920. by North American News- paper Alliance.)
