NARROWER SPACING SCHEME SQUELCHED to Put Stations| Proposal Closer Together Is Frowned on by Commission. BY MARTIN CODEL. Proposals to cluster broadcasting sta- | tions more closely together by cutting | down the 20-kilocycle spacing between certain channels to seven and one-half kilocycles and thus making 10 more wave lengths available for high-powered stations, were in effect squeiched by the Federal Radio Commission today. The narrower spacing plan was prac- tically repudiated by the commission's decision denying WTMJ, Milwaukee, an | increase in power on its present wave length, \\'h(cgo would have necessitated crowding other stations off that chan- | nel and placing them on others. The Wisconsin station has been seeking vainly for more than a year to find a way out of a dilemma of interference || 277.6—WBT Charlotte—1,080. 6:30—WEAF and WJZ (45 minutes). 7:15—Dance; Walton League. 8:00—Same as WEAF (3 hours). 11:00—The Owl Club. 365.6—WHAS Louisville—820. 7:30—Hotel orchestra: Oilers. hours). 11 12 0 ; en: 20a—Jack Turner (40 minutes). 461.3—WSM Nashville—650. 7:30—Sunday school; bulletins. 8:00—Barn _ dance (30 minutes); WEAF. 9:00—Barn dance and WJZ (4 houts). | 270.1—WRVA Richmond—1,110, 6:30—NBC (45 minutes): fiddlers. 7:30—Dance from WEAF. 8:00—WEAF Programs (2 hours). 10:00—Th= Troubadours. 10:30—Studio (30 minutes); fiddlers. BOARD Who Remembers The Straw Mattress -+ . to be more modern, “Who wants to remember the Straw Mattress?"” and restricted area of coverage caused by the crowding of shtlon.!s on its wave. ¥ Seeks WBBM Channel. Apparently anticipating a refusal to consider the narrower channel spacing schmee, J is applying for the cleared channel now shared by WBBM Chicago, and KFAB, Lincoln, Nebr, It will press its claim to this channel largely on the plea that Wisconsin is under quota in earned channels, while Chicago’s allotment is greatly over quota. The seven and one-half-kilocycle plan was advanced by L. G. Caldwell, as legal counsel, and John V. L. Hogan, as en- gineering counsel, on behalf not only of WTMJ, but of a group of other im- portant stations asking for better oper- ating conditions and suggesting that these might be forthcoming if more cleared channels were made available. Among others in this group were WTIC, Hartford, and WBAL, BnRImnre. which now have only half the time each on a shared channel and which want full-time operation. In the group also were WHO, Des Moines, and WOC, Davenport, which since have been al- lowed to consolidate; KRLD, Dallas, and WAPI, Birmingham. All are high- powered stations operating part time only. It is too early to say whether the commission's action presages an on- slaught against cleared channel opera- tions. Cleared channels are deemed by the engineers to be necessary for higl powered stations and by others to be a | waste of the limited space in the ether. | A fight against cleared channels is ex- pected to be one of the big issues before | the newly established radio administra- tion. Butman Resigns Post. Carl H. Butman, secretary of the Fed- eral Radio Commission almost since its A5 1, to return to ne iper work. His successor, whose appointment would be exemrt from civil service under a bill just introduced in Congress kv Repre- sentative Wallace White, is expected to be named shortly. Under the White bill, this post would fny an annual salary of $7,500. This is he salary also fixed by law for the | two assistant engineers who also remain | to be chosen before the commission com- pletes its personnel.
