WRC WILL OFFER NEW ATTRACTINS “The Maestro’s Hour” and, “In the Time of Roses” Re- place Others Dropped. WRC's regular program undergoes & @ERterial change today as a result of the dropping of several long-time fea- turas and the substitution of three new and entirely different presentations. The Bagby-Romilli Moments, the Old | Oompany songalogue and the Conti- Rentals “In the Time of Roses, first of a unique series of combination lecture and musical offerings, to be known as “Face to Face With Our Presidents.” A concert orchestra, under direction of Cesare Sodero, and a group of popu- lar radio soloists, including Erva Giles, soprano; Adelaide de Loca, contralto, and Lewis James, tenor, will take a prominent part in the “Maestro’s Hour,” ‘while the program described as “In the Time of Roses” will feature Robert Sim- smons, tenor; an octet of feminine voices and a string quintet of harp, flute, vi- braphone, piano and celeste. As the name indicates, “In the Time of Roses” includes compositions about June and Toses. Joe Mitchell Chapple, famous lec- turer, journalist : nd author, will open the “Face to Face With Our Presidents” series, using President Grant as his subject. Incidental music will be pro- vided by a large orchestra, with vocal soloists and quartets, Male Quartet to Sing. ‘The Atwater Kent hour, one of WRC's regular attractions, will present a vocal quartet, composed of Victor Edmonds and George Razely, tenors; Erwyn Mutch, baritone, and James Davies, hpss. Other regular features retained by this station include the Studebaker Champions, the Capitol Theater “fam- 1ly” and the Russian Cathedral Chor. The Champions will play special or- chestrations of recent Broadway dance hits, while the Capitol “family” will pre- sent as its specialty selections by the famous harmony team of Fain and Dunn. Vocal compositions of Tschai- kowsky and other Russian masters, to- gether with selections from the liturgi- cal music from Holy Russia, will be broadcast by the Cathedral Choir. Dimitri Tiomkin, famous pianist and | composer, will be the guest artist in the De Forest radio hour, one of the Colum- bia Broadcasting System's major at- tractions, coming into Washington to- night over WMAL. His concert will be made up modern works, some of the compositions of his cotemporaries and 3 Shriners Equip Car For Broadcasting on Way to Convention ST. PAUL, Minn.

By the Associated Press. THE HAGUE, June 1.—Governmental experts and the leading commercial en- gineers of the United States have begun preparations for the meeting at The Hague in September of the interna- tional radio technical committee. First on the list of questions to be determined is the adoption of a uniform scale of separation to be maintained between wave lengths for transmissions of all kinds. Owing to the interference of radio waves, which recognize no na- tional boundaries, this is considered the paramount problem of the conference. U. S. May Take Lead. Because technical devices and the as- | signment of channels are farther ad- vanced in this country, the American delegation is expected to take the lead | in formulating a program. The channel plan, used by the Fed- eral Radio Commission and based on a two-tenths per cent separation which has been adopted by several countries, will be submitted to the conference. Other questions to be considered are the stability of control for all transmis- | slons, the allocation of short waves for | aviation and for police agencies, the allocation of short waves for national | | | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, HARDING D NE _ 2, 1929—-PART 4. OHMAN ~ “xf STATINS NAY T REALLOCATIONS Commission May Act This Summer to Reduce Number of Cleared Channels. By the Associated Press. Several of the larger boadcasting sta- tions may be given new allocations this Summer or Fall as a result of a move by two members of the Federal Radio Cemmission to reduce the number of cleared channels. ‘To accommodate more stations operat- ing full time and to provide better raaio facilities in sections not as well served £2* others, Judgs Eugene Sykes, member from the Southern zone, proposes that the number of cleared channels be cut from 40 to 35. His proposal has the backing of Judge Ira Robinson, chair- man, May Amend Plan. They would amend the allocation plan of last November by assigning seven instead of eight preferred wave lengths to each of the five zones. On five channels to be selected by the com- mission they would put, for simul- taneous night operation, not more than two_stations located in different zones. Each zone would share equally in the assignments. Under the cleared channel plan, only one station at a time operates on the 40 wavelengths, several large stations dividing time. The heterodyne inter- ference that might result from two sta- tions on the same wave would be offset Fy the benefits of additional service h regions that need it, Judge Sykes contends. He believes that by synchronization most of the interference could be elimi- nated and additional advantage derived from the encouragement of synchroniz- ing methods. New Stations Opposed. When Judge Sykes placed his pro- posal before the commission, a ma- Jority voted to table it. They are re- result in upsetting the present alloca- tion. there are too many stations on air now for really good reception, is opposed to allowing more to operate, especially on the cleared wavelengths. He thinks the 40 high-power channel plan designed to give interference-free reception to remote listeners has been successful in operation. Meanwhile the commission expects to obtaln some valuable information from the polls of broadcasters and ex- pert listeners as to transmission and reception condition in all parts of the country, luctant to make changes that might Commissioner Lafount, who believes the | Behind the Microphone BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

Station WRNY, New York, us- ing its short-wave transmitter 2XAL, is making plans to broad- i cast to South American countries, | in which American industries are ianxiuus to build up good will, programs that wilferiginate in its studios but a few blocks from Broadway. Detailed plans for pickirg up the short-wave broadcast at spe- cial receiving points in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru have been worked out by Robert H. Marriott, consulting radio engineer of New | York. Signals will be tuned in by special receivers to be sent to South America shortly with a| group of American engineers who | will carry on the work of adjust- ing them to the wave of 2XAL and feeding the received signal | into powerful broadcasting sta- tions for regional transmission. It was with these developments in mind that 2XAL recently ap- plied to the Federal Radio Com- mission for six frequencies for short-wave work and unlimited power. Experiments will deter- mine the minimum power and best wave length. Although WRNY is supported mainly by aviation interests, the officials believe the *“good-will” gospel, as spread by radio, will be beneficial to all types of Ameri- can industries that now have or are interested in developing a South American market for their goods. Language which mighit be one of the obstacles in getting the an- nouncements across in South America will be solved by using English and permitting the native announcers on the various sta- tioas rebroadcasting the Ameri- can programs to cut in, in the manner of stations operating on chains in the United States, to | | insert the matter in the language | | of the region. * ¥ ¥ X Through the thousands of miles | of space between the South Poie and New York there came a mes- | sage last week from Comdr.

B. C. stations. When 2Mickey “¥axted to do her stuff those cats Wake. wr, a3 no longer blinked placidly. As Mickey proceeded, the owner ex- plained, they rushed with a van- quishing yowl toward the rzar of he house, thinking that the ‘bird” was out in the back rard: Failing to find one at that houvr, the cats zalloped back into the living room and tried to attack the loud speaker. ‘When Mickey's numbers were ended, the owner said, the bris- tling tails of the cats flattened out, ears were laid low and once more they became two gentle creatures purring upon the floor by the radio set. * * X % Elizabeth Raymond, 2019 I stree joins scores of others in criticiz ing the excessive advertising in some of the radio programs spon- sored by commercial interests. Inspired by reference in this col umn last Sunday to the action of the Radio Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation in deploring' the apparent tendency to “overload” programs with advertising, she wrote: “This evil—excessive advertis- - ing—is already with us.

The Majestic hour, scheduled an hour later, will be provided by Wendell Hall, Redferne Hollinshead, tenor; Reinger and Carroll, the two-plano team with the “Little Show,” and Arnold Johnson’s Orches- tra. The program is made up of selec- tions requested by the radio audience. Peter Biljo and his Balalaika Orches- tra will again take part in the Around the Samovar broadcast, a feature of which will be a special arrangement of & famous Russian march, written in the time of Peter the Great. The centennial celebration of Con- gress Street M. P. Church will be broadcast tonight by WJSV. WRC will broadcast the morning services of the same church. WJSV_also has scheduled a concert by the Ladies’ Choir of Fairfax, Va., and recitals by Kathryn Crowley, pian- ist; Ronald Wheeler, tenor, and David Martin, baritone. The WOL program contains its usual Sunday features, opening with the services of the International Bible Stu- dents’ Association and closing with an- | ganization of a permanent international | service for frequency measurements. Rigid regulations to keep stations on their assigned wave lengths will result lin a greatly increased use of crystals, the only virtually accurate method of transmitter control, the engineers say.

NEW YORK.—Household equipment, such as electric fans, ofl burners, el tric refrigerators and violet ray ma- chines must be designed with elim- ination of radio interference in mind if progress is to be made in combating | “man-made static,” says Edgar H. Felix, consultant of the National Elec- trical Manufacturers Association. This would require the expenditure of a vast amount of money, Mr. Felix says. He estimates that the equipment of household appliances with chokes and filters so that they could be oper- ated from the same power circuit as a radio receiver without noticeable inter- ference would have cost the electrical industry $10,000,000 for 1928. “To ~thrust the responsibility of silencing electrical equipment upon an industry disassociated from radio is to impose & task of no small magnitude,” he said. .“No progress whatever has been made in fixing the responsibility for radio silence upon the makers of interference creating equipment “It is a rmblem for the radio in- dustry to solve and the radio engineer must exert his influence in electrical standardization. Instead of viewing the electrical industry as competitive he must work hand in hand with the appliance, power and traction indus- tries. “Through the manufacturers’ stand- | ardization groups he must clearly | voice his opinions or he will find even- | tually that the entire burden of fllmi-i nating the effect of electrical interfer- | ence will necessarily be lodged with the | radio receiver itself and the transmit- ting system which furnishes it pro- grams.” RADIO REACHES ISLANDS AHEAD OF TELEPHONES | | Wireless Communication Establish- ed Before Wire Cables Placed to Mainland.
