RADID COMMISON SALARES ASSURED Controller General Approves Transfer of $25,000 From Commerce Department. The sun ¢ shining again for the Pederal Radio Commission and the ra- dio destinies of the Nation are safe for another month at least. nAfter mature consideration, Controller General J. R. McCarl, who holds Uncle Bam’s purse strings, has approved a transfer of $25,000 from the Commerce Department to the commission. Thus the 85 commission employes are as- sured of their pay for next month. Néglected last year when Congress was fivmm' appropriations for the various leral activities, the commission had ohly $300 with which to meet Decem- ber’s pay roll of $15,000. Last Monday Controller General Mc- Carl ruled against the transfer of funds. He said the proposition was unlawful as . The commission was crest- allen. It meant that unless the funds . wére in some way provided, the entire force, from general counsel to messen- ger, would be without salary. New Proposal Substituted. But the following day a committee representing the commission talked over the situation with the Controller Gen- eral and his aides. A new proposal, citing other legal authorities, was sub- mitted. Recently it was announced that the transfer is approved. It was apparently a mere technicality which caused the Controller General to disapprove the first request. At least, that's the explanation made at his ce. The new opinion has not yet n made public. Under the general aecounting office procedure they are held iR confidence for two days and then eased. Immediately after McCarl announced his adverse decision there was a decided reaction on Capitol Hill. Senator Dill of Washington, radio’s stanch advocate in the upper body, said that if the fer was not finally approved by Controller General, Congress would fi a resolution authorizing it. Mem- of the appropriation committees in Both houses were equally forceful. In any event, there now is no occasion congressional action on the mone- tary end of things. but there is con- siderable importance with respect to the conmtinuance of the commission as 0's administrative authority. On ber 31 the commission, under ex- law, would pass out of existence licensing authority, but would become merely the appellate body. The Oommerce Department again would as- sume the control that it held over all ri:r’prlm to the commission’s creation, Preliminary ‘Gesture Taken. ‘The first preliminary gesture toward the enactment of the new radio legisla- tion has been taken by (Congress.

BY MARTIN CODEL. ‘While broadcasting in America is confined to the intermediate wave lengths of the radio spectrum, Europe ‘roadcasts also on the low frequencies, or long waves, with good results, ac- cording to Gerald C. Gross, engineer of the Federal Radio Commission, who has just returned from a radio inspection tour of Europe. Mr. Gross was ordered by the com- mission to remain in Europe after the Technical Radio Conference at The Hague, to which he was a délegate, in order to study the aerohautical radio systems of the various countries. His assignment took him on flights over the airways of England, France, Holland, Belgium and Germany. His reports are expected to be of great value to the newly developing American alrways ra- dio_systems. During stopovers Mr. Gross improved his time by tuning-in various Continen- tal broadcasting stations on a small portable receiver of German manufac- ture. Hé found that, besides using the same band of wave lengths used on this continent for program radio, European stations also employ the long waves 1,500 to 1,840 kilocycles (194 to 224 meters).

Hoyt Taylor, radio chief of the Naval Research Laboratery and president of the Institute of Radio Engineers, h: tated might well be epened up for broadcast.

He reported also that European experts greeted with surprise his state- ments about the extensive use of short waves being made for aviation purposes in this country. All the major European airways have radio systems for transmitting and re- celving voice reports to and from air- lanes in flight, Mr. Gross rted. 'he most modern planes bullt and being built in Europe, added, are being fitted with radio operators’ compart. ments, so that the operator, whose sole task is to keep the plane in constant communication with land, may go about his duties undisturbed. Bedsprines for Antenna. ‘With his broadcasting receiver, & very compact affair, with one tube about the size of a pint milk bottle, contain- ing the elements of three ordinary tubes, My, Gross said he was able to listen to programs on the long, the intermedi- ate, and even the short waves, He used four sets of coils in the set.
