[ 12 ROXY'S ORCHESTRA PLAYS OVER WRC Strauss Compositions to Be Presented in Concert at 1 0’Clock Today. Roxy's Symphonic Orchestra, one of the few that continues ‘its activities throughout the Summer, will present two of the outstanding .compositions from the pen of Richard Strauss at 1 o'clock today, during the course of the orchestra’s hour of music. Milton Cross will be the announcer. The or- chestra will be directed by Erno Rapee. The compositions are “Ein Helden- leben,” which was first played for a radio audience under Roxy's sponsor- ship more than seven years ago, and “Don Juan,” which closes the program. The program will be received locally by WRC. % ‘Wesley Ossman, musical glass virtuo- 80, will be the featured artist.with Maj. Edward Bowes’ Capitol Family from WRC and associated stations at 6:35 o'clock. The music is produced by rub- bing the surface of the glass with the finger tips moistened with water. Music can also be obtained from glasses by using a violin bow, but the results are not as satisfactory, Ossman says. OSS- man is said to be the only man featur- ing popular songs on glasses. His pro- gram will include several popular favor- ites and an old-time ballad. New arrangements of modern song hits will be played by the Studebaker Champions, 30-piece novelty concert or- chestra, under the direction of Jean Goldkette, over WRC at 9:15 o'clock. ‘The following are to be included in this : “Breakaway,” “I Never Guessed,” “April Showers” and “Some- Happy.” Sermon to Be Broadcast. Dr. Oscar E. Maurer, pastor of Center Church (Congregational) in New Ha- ven, Conn., will be heard from the First Congregational Church over WRC this morning at 11 o'clock. Little Joe Warner, radio’s dialect king, will be the featured artist the Majestic Theater of the Air is presenting at 10 o'clock over WMAL and other Columbia broadcasting stations. He will sing many of his most popular selections. These will include “Me No Savvy,” “Back in Bonnie Scotland” and “Nize Baby.” Other presentations on the program from Majestic’s Summer Roof Garden will feature the duo harmony work of Muriel La France and Redferne Hol linshead. Versatile Roy Smeck, “wiz- ard of the strings,” will play favorite and characteristic melodies on the ban- jo, ukulele and octochorda. Orchestral background and performance of special numbers will be given by the Arnold Johnson Orchestra. Program of Gounod Music, Compositions by one of the great ‘writers of sacred music, Charles Francis Gounod, will fill the greater part of the program that the Cathedral hour is presenting at 3 o'clock. The “Mass of the Sacred Heart” will be given in its entirety. The “Kyrie,” “Gloria” and “Credo” will be heard in the early portion of the program and the “Benedictus” and “Agnus Dei” will follow later. In addition, other com- positions -by Gounod that will be rendered at this time include his “‘Marche Pontificale” and the “Sanctus” from the “Mass Solonnelle.” _Among additional outstanding re- ligious numbers to be heard will be in- cluded a prayer by @uion, which Helen Oelheim, contralto, will render by spe- cial request, and two Elgar compositions, the “Sursum Corda” and “Pomp and Circumstance.” * U. S. BUILDS MOST SETS FOR RADIO RECEPTION | Tr. Julius Klein Finds Our Produc- tion Ranks Above Others. Denmark Second. Ty the Associated Press. Two hundred million receivers would he required to provide radio facilities for the 1,000,000,000 persons in the world within range of broadcasting sta- tions now established, says Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce. Dr. Klein based his estimate on an average of five listeners to each set. Tven this figure of the market potenti- ~litles is conservative, he explains, for new stations are constantly being rected. Nearly two-thirds of the 20,000,000 sets "1 use are of American origin, he says. “stimating the popularity of radio in various countries by the number of sets ver thousand population, the United ates ranks first with 83 sets per 00. Denmark is next with 63; Sweden, 60; Great Britain, 56;. Aus- tralia and Argentina, each more than 52. “The merchandising of radio is in- fuenced by conditions which have little if_any effect on most other sorts oll soods,” Dr. Klein said. “The most important of these is climate. Another factor of e im- vortance is the availability of broad- casting.” CHAIN PLANS. FOREIGN PROGRAMS FOR PATRONS | Columbia Officials Go to Europe to Add Three Nations to Broadcasts, 4 PHILADELPHIA (#).—Steps looking ‘toward the interchange of programs with continental Europe are to be taken by nt‘: Columbia Broadcasting Co. this month. Dr. Leon Levy, president of -station WCAU and secretary of Columbia, called for Europe Friday with Isaac D. Levy, vice president of Columbia and treasurer of WCAU, to make arrange- ments with several short-wave stations in Norway, France and Germany for a regular program interchange schedule. ntly the Universal Broadcast! hich owns WCAU, was grante a construction permit for a short-wave transmitter at Byberry, Pa. It now is nearly complete and will have the call latters W3XAU, operating on 31.2 and 19.4 meters. The station will be used for expérimentation in the transmission and reception of transatlantic pro- grams. Under present plans, WCAU will act as key station for the chaip for any programs rebroadeast. Mornings will be devoted to sending programs over- seas, while in the afternoon foreign stations vlvi;‘ledbe brought in. The p‘l"\;- grams, picked up on a specially de- signed short-wave recelver, will be fed into the WCAU transmitter and re- * broadcast in 1,170 kilocycles. Starting early in the Fall test pro- grams will be conducted and it is hoped that within a month or so lar schedule will be in effect. lish will be used in arnouncements, Major Chain Features TODAY. 2:00—Roxy Symphony Orchestra. ‘WRC and N.

GROUP RADIO RIGHT FIGHT NEARS COURT Rauling on Labor Station’s Plea for Exclusive Wave Length to Be Significant. One of the most. significant radio questions to be decided this Fall by the Court of Appeals of the District of Co- lumbia, or perhaps eventually by the United States Supreme Court, is wheth- er any distinctive group of the general public is entitled to the exclusive use of_a wave length. 1t is made & major issue in the ap- peal of WCFL, operated by the ClI Federation of Labor, from the of the Federal Radio Commission refus- ing it & cleared channel for broadcast- ing. The station now operates part time. — Union leaders conténd that the com- mission in its alleged fallure to gran labor an equitable share of the Nation's broadcasting facilities acted contrary to :.he public service provision of the radio a w. Members of organized labor and their families, numhering several million peo- le, are entitled to at least one wave length on which they can receive mes- sages or programs of particular interest to the working people of the country, labor spokesmen claim. ‘They mflmt out that “capital” has ex- clusive broadcasting facilities, with sev- eral large public utility corporations, radio manufacturers and etheL com= is declared and an allocation of variance with the intent of enacting the law: for regulal o ‘broadcasting. ‘The Raldio Commission holds that there is no place for a station catering to any group, but that all stations should cater the general public and serve public interest against group or class interest. ~ ‘There are numerous groups of the public, it is explained by the commis- sion, that might similarly demand exclusive use of a channel for their ben- efit. However, there are not enough channels to accommodate all of them. . PLANNING BROADCASTS. hluc'”l; at a time when enlightened per left: Eli S, tions.

Kincannon of Houston, Tex.: . “My uncle, who is & missionary in Chins, writes me as follows: ‘We are hopeful that the increasing use of radio in China will prepare the soil for our work. It is not that we hope so much to make our appeal on the air as that the radio is beginning to get the masses of the Chinese into a different attitude toward Western culture. Perhaps I should not say masses, as, of course, the use still is extremely limited, but lead- ers among Chinese business and pro- fessional men, and particularly the stu- dents, are now getting receiving sets and we can see that the leaven of & new culture is beginning to work. I can see that the radio will be of inesti- mable value in building up self-respect- ing nationality in China and I believe it will do much to level the old barriers which isolate China from the rest of lving Mrs. Kincannon's let- Chinese national council of reconstruc- tion has been in America studying radio development and purchasing apparatus and equipment for two new short-wave stations to be erected on the southern coast of China.

The psycholo- gist took a difficult and involved subject and put it out in everyday language which we all could understand. it seemed to me that this business of stepping down difficult subject-matter into popular comprehension is one of the best things radio does. Any sensible man talking to hundreds of thousands of listeners knows that he must sim- plify and clarify his material. The radio constantly puts & premium on simplifi- cation.

MEXICO CITY (#) —The Mexican Aviation Co. is establishing a chain of radio stations along its fiying routes in Mexico and also is planning to equip all passenger planes with radio. The central receiving station at Mexico City is situated at the Valbuena flying fleld. The sending station is on top of the Woodrow Building, in which are the offices of the aviation company. Stations have been established at Tampico and Brownsville, Tex., and the radio engineers of the company are making arrangements for stations at Vera Cruz, Merida and Tapachula.
