BY MARTIN CODEL. Special Dispatch to The Star. WEST BADEN, Ind, November 8 (N.AN.A) —Undercurrents stirring the radio industry, most notably apparent in the price reductions on radio receiv- ing equipment now being ann ol e 8 announced by | {(ire the continued broadcasting, of manufacturers, were subjects of some concern yesterday among members of the National Association of Broadcast- ers, in convention here. The broad- casters regard the manufacturers and dealers as their “circulation me angd therefore feel A mutual interest in trends of the radio trade. On one hand the price cuts were at- tributed to overproduction. Artificial stimulation of radio sales at this time of year, when radio reception is at its best, is unusual, to say the least. Though some factories are explaining that production economies make it pos- sible to cut prices up to $60 per set, there is an inclination here to belleve stock market operations may have with- drawn purchasing power from radio. New Competition Seen. On the other hand price reductions| were regarded as anticipating new and more vigorous competition in the radio i Mergers of certain leading are known to be “in the act is not being over- looked also that the recently formed General Motors Radio Corporation will sooh be in the field, probably with a range of low and medium priced sets. No direct reason for present currents in the radio trade were given by Bond Geddes, executive vice president of the Radio Manufacturers' Association, who came to West Baden to insure the broadcasters’ convention that the man- ufacturers were keenly interested in STAR. their problems, particularly their prob- lems at Washington. Mr. Geddes reported that radio sales estimates for this year ranged from $750,000,000 to $1,000,000,000, “with no saturation point in sight.” Chains Also Prosper. He called attention also to the fact, which most station operators admitted, that chains and stations this year for the first time are prospering along with the manufacturers. Broadcasting, how- ever, is beset with too many legislative uncertainties to be regarded as a stable industry. It was estimated that 4,000,000 more radio receiving sets will have to be marketed by the end of this year, mak- ing a total of about 12,000,000 sets in use in this country. The last-year has seen a 20 per cent increase in the size of the radio audience, said Mr. Geddes. The American radio export trade this yehr is expected to double that of last year, which amounted to more than $10,000.000. The broadcasters and manufacturers should enlist, Mr. Geddes asserted, to national events, especially sporting con- tests, like prize fights, which certain promoters have threatened to keep off the air. The public was said to have the right to expect outstanding features, but the broadcasters revealed that they were inclined to the belief that the burden of responsibility \for furnishing such events falls upon the manufac- turers. Makers of radio equipment profit di- rectly from sales stimulated by unusual broadcasts.
