An arrangement has already been made with Kolster for production of “wired radio” sets and combination “wired radio” and “space radio” re- celvers, ‘The chief handicap which the devel- opment faces is the fact that the Amer- ican public is habituated to getting its radio programs free of direct cost. Wired Radio, Inc., however, will stress the fact that its three programs will carry no advertising, direct or indirect. It also claims that the programs can be received over the power lines free from all the variables of ordinary radio, such as static, fading and electrical in- terferences. Moreover, the appeal will be.made to prospective subscribers that it will be cheaper to rent the combina- tion receiving .sets, bringing both “wired” and “space” programs, than to purchase and maintain high-grade broadcast receiving sets.

BY MARTIN CODEL. CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 28—Ex- periments in this city will soon deter-( mine the success or failure of “‘wired radio.” The technjcal and economic feasibility of sending radio programs into homes via the lines from which house current is drawn will be proved or disproved by the initial installation “Twilight Melodies,” a new musical feature, based on the works of the great as well as the minor classical composers, will make its debut tonight over WRC and a group of associated National Broadcasting Co. stations.

The works of MacDowell, Bond, Strauss. Sinding, Paderewski, Schubert and Victor Herbert will predominate in the “Twilight Melodies” broadcasts. And while the dominant note of these rograms will be classical, variety will e added through the introduction of folk songs, hymns, old ballads and pop- Afar songs of the past. WRC also will present another new attraction tonight in the form of a concert by the Orpheus Trio, which has supplanted the regular weekly pres- | entation of the National Light Opera Co. The trio will broadcast irom 9:30 to 10 o'clock. Old-Time Tunes Scheduled. | “Amos 'n' Andy,” the Ingram Sh;u'-l ers, the Happy Wonder Bakers, the Mobiloil concert and the Palmolive hour are among WRC's remaining at- tractions. “Rose Marie,” “Indian Love Call” and other popular compositions of Rudolph Friml are on the Mobiloil concert program, while the Shavers announce a group of old-time tunes such as “Sweet Adeline,” “I've Been Working on the Railroad” and “My Eonnie Lies Over the Ocean.” In the ,Palmolive broadcast Olive Palme:, so- prano, will sing the Scottish melody 1“Annie Laurie.” The specialty of the Bakers' presentation will be a solo by Jack Parker, tenor. It will be the oid Irish ballad “Kathleen Mavourncen.” The Kolster hour and the United Sym- phony Orchestra are among WMAL's main_offerings tonight. The former will feature a group of seldom-heard ‘compositions gathered from Italy, Rus- sia, France, Germany and Hungary. “The Crusaders’ March”_and “The Baracen Patrol,” from De Koven's “Maid Marian,” will be played by the United Orchestra in addition to a num- ber of other famous compositions. George Rymer, tenor, will again be the goloist with the orchestra. Dale Wimbrow Will Sing. In the La Palina hour, another | WMAL feature, Dale Wimbrow will sing two of his own compositions which ex- press his feeling for his native State of Maryland. These are “Headin’ South” | end “Eastern Shore.” Ray Acton and his Serena PDimeglio, tenor, and Virginia , char- acter reader, will take a prominent part 4n the program tonight of WJSV. Sue Kennedy, contralto, also will be heard from this station in a special recital. Her program includes “Rose in the PBud,” “Last Night,” “Bless You" and “Because " : B. H.

The association was told by Miss Georgia D. George of Los Angeles that the number of bald-headed men is get- ting smaller each year. She doesn't believe there will be any at all by 1950. She pooh-poohed the tradition that brain work brings on baldness. Its cause, she said, is laziness and neglect. ‘When men learn to use their head, they will ha ing on it, she said.

Wired Radio, Inc.,, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the North American Co., holding company for large power enter- prises throughout the country. For some seven years it has been gathering patents, experimenting with and de- veloping equipment, with a view to of- fering programs from central studios in New York to power subscribers willing to pay a monthly rental of $2 to $5 for recciving sets which it will install in the home and service free of extra cost. Numerous delays have raised many misapprehensions about the serious in- tentions of sponsors of this project, and the radio broadcasting and set produc- ing industries have eyed it with mis- givings from the start. The latest information from Clinton ‘W. Hough, president of Wired Radio, Inc, is that actual experiments with trarsmission and reception of programs directed along the carrier wave that follows power lines will take place here Octeber 1. Ask for Short Waves. With these experiments in view, Mr. Hough has appealed to the Féderal Ra- dio Commission for short waves over which to relay programs from the New York studios to Cleveland. There is considerable doubt, however, as to whether this mode of transmission from the central studios will be favored over land-line connections, such as the broadcasf chains employ, because it brings to “wired radio” some of the dis- torting of “space radio,” which it claims to have overcome. Generators have already arrived at the Lakewood substation, and the in- stallation is going forward under the direction of Bruce W. David, radio en- gineer for the Cleveland Electric Illu< minating Co., and Pierre Werner of the laboratories of Wired Radio, Inc.R. D. Duncan, chief engineer of Wired Radio, Inc., also makes frequent visits here for inspection and advice.
