BRUSSELS (N.AN.A)—The newly- betrothed Princess Marie-Jose always has been rather shy. prising when one remembers that dur- ing the war she was exiled in England and that later her convent school life in Italy was austere. In Florence she worked hard in, the plain dress and black apron the convent prescribed. But her independence has been well | Il SAVE 5150 500 catered for in her grown-up days at ome. She has her own suite of rooms, h | her own staff of servants, her own tele~ phone and a private entrance to the royal palace. The satinwood furniture and pink silken hangings have not banished the black-apron maiden com- pletely.

BY MARTIN CODEL. Cleared channels uj which some of the highest' powered and most popu- lar broadcasting stations in the country are operating appear to be in no jeopardy, temporarfly at least. There are 40 of them, each used by only one station during the evening hours, in order to enable that station to transmit | its programs free from interference over the widest possible radius. Although a fight over the principle of clearing channels for exclusive noc- | turnal use by single stations has been brewing ever since the reallocation es- tablished them last year, efforts to re- | duce their number by “doubling up” two | or more stations on the cleared channels have failled consistently. During the day their use is duplicated, for the day- light hours do not offer the same in- | terference hazard. Attack Is Expected. ‘When Congress convenes in regular session next month the use of cleared channels will probably be attacked vig- orously by Senator Dill of Washington, who regards such exclusive assignments |as a waste of the all-too-scarce radio wave lengths. The cleared channel proponents argue that they are absolutely necessary to enable high-powered stations to serve the rural areas. To place other stations oaalt on the éame channel, they claim, would | produce conflicting carrier waves, inau- VY ZAOLL LAy b any dible to the ear but capable of causing heterodyne whistles as they clash with each other, In addition the carrier frequencies of high-powered stations ‘would have mof eflrlecce s:lr “:\edfln‘ in" the programs of all stations. 5»? the other hand, the opponents of the cleared channel idea declare that allotting more than half the broadcast spectrum to a mere handful of stations is unfair to the other 500 or moré sta- tions also licensed to operate. Who and what shall determine, they ask, which stations have the right to cleared channels? What if the “signals” of two or more stations of high or medium power but widely spaced geographically do clash in the intervening area as long as their ams are heard by the people with- in a substantial radius around each station? Duplication on Chains. Moreover, those antagonistic toward the exclusive use of wave lengths aver the cleared channels are dominated by! chain stations. Thus the same program is often brought in on several such channels. Chairman Robinson of the Federal Radio Commission is particu- larly insistent that chain duplication exists on a widespread scale. 1 The only definite breakdown of a cleared channel was brought about by the successful suit of WGY, Schenec- tady. for the right to continue using its present wave length. Originally as- | signed to that wave was KGQ, Oakland, Calif., and when the Schenectady sta- tion won its suit in the Court of Ap- peals here the commission simply left the two stations to operate simultane- ously on the channel. While WGY is continuing to serve its immediate area, its operators admit its rograms and those of KGO suffer a gotemd, e whistle in the Middle West. An application has been made for chnngnf conditions for KGO. Four motions made rc-ently in closed sessions of the commission 10 shift ad- ditional stations to cleared channels al- Jotted single stations met with an ad- verse vote. In these cases station WAPI, Birmingham, would have been aliowed to experiment on the channels now used by KJR, Seattle; ENX, Los Angeles: KOA, Denver, or WBZ, Bos- vote found Commissioners (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- paper Alliance.)
