DETROIT (#).—A State police radio system, patterned somewhat after that operated by the city of Detroit, but de- signed to connect the State police bar- racks at East Lansing with 100 or more stations throughout the State, is the project that has brought Gov. Fred W. Green into controversy with the Federal Radio Commission. Disputing the commission’s power over a State-owned breadcasting sta- tion, the governor has issued orders for the construction of the station. The commission has retorted by asking the Department of Justice to arrest any one starting construction work. To this the governor replied, “If any one attempts to interfer. with the construction of the station, I will order him arrested for hamperirfg the State police.” Meanwhile plans are being carried &u:hla start work on the station forth- State police posts, the offices of sher- iffs and other peace officers and certain cruising automobiles will be equipped with receivers which can pick up the low wave length transmissions from the 5.000-watt station at East Lansing. Transmission will be entirely by voice. Chasing criminals and preventing erime by radio has been unusually suc- cessful in Detroit, one of the first cities to use radio-equipped scout cars.

Behind the Microphone BY THE RALIO EDITOR. ADIO broadcasters are the most conscientious clock watchers in the country. They admit it, although the fact is not apparent to any casual visitor in a broadcasting studio. The second—which has gone before you can finish naming it— is the time element used in broad. casting. While time on the air usually is sold or allotted to sus-| taining programs by the hour or in quarters of the hour, the sec- ond is the unit used for the in-| tricate business of keeping a na- | In the National Broadcasting Co.’s studlos, for instance, there| are clocks everywhere. There is one in every room, every monitor- ing booth, the main control room, every office, reception room, lobby and work room. And these clocks, unlike many others, always agree as to the time. They likewise differ in another respect | from ordinary clocks in that each | one has a third hand which sweeps around the dial every min- | ute, indicating the passage of the| all-important second. These clocks are all governed by a master clock, which in turn is checked | against the time signal from the Arlington Radio Station. There is never a moment in a studio when some one's “yes are not on some clock. The artists at the microphone occasionally glance at the clock to see how much of their time on the air is left. The production man, who is responsible for the broadcast while it is on the air, constantly | watches that he may speed up or / slow down his presentation in the synchronized with the key sta- tlon and the vocal calls from its| announcer, who warns the an- nouncer at the local station that the time is near for the switch. * % X & “Highbrow” Music Gains. 'HE death knell of a national prejudice against so-called highbrow” music has sounded, and in place of it there is a stead- ily growing appreciation of the world’s best music, according Lo[ Walter Damrosch, who concluded | the final concert of the music-ap- | preciation series Friday. ! The enthusiastic reception ac-| corded this series by school chil-| dren, parents, music supervisors, | musicians and educators, Dam- rosch said, assures continuance of the Friday morning concerts for the next two years. Reports to him, the famous conductor de- clared, indicated that more than 5,000,000 children listened to the concerts this year. * X kX SURVEY by the United States Chamber of Commerce has brought to light the rather star- tling fact that approximately two- thirds of the homes in the coun- try struggle along without a radio receiver. It was found that out of each 100 families 15 own mod- ern electric sets, 22 have battery sets and the remaining 63 own none at all. The survey was not confined to any particular spot of the coun- | try, but was announced as a cross section of the general situation. { % ARTHUR BAGLEY, director of the Tower health exercises, shares with Graham McNamee the distinction of being one of radio's fastest and most accurate reporters of sports and other events. * k¥ Xk MCCLESKY GARLYCH, Wash- ington radio writer, has been appointed fleld representative in the radio department of the Gen- eral Electric Co.

On a des- ignated second the switch is thrown and from every station its call letters are announced. If the station announcement comes in the middle of a program or in between two national broad- casts, just 15 seconds are allowed for the local announcement, and the station must be back on the network within that time. This remarkable synchronization of movements in widely scattered points is accomplished by keeping the clocks of the network stations Washingten's Tude Center POST-STANDARD GUARANTEES Fresh stock daily All tubes tested RADIO JTUB!

SIMPLE TELEVISION 1S JENKINS' GOAL Engineers Strive to Make Sight Over Radio Practical. JERSEY CITY, N. J. (#)—~Engineers attempting to make practical the trans- mission of sight by radio are progress- ing, but at a carefully slow rate, Handicapped by the numerous obsta- cles in the way of reducing television reception to the mere turning of a knob or two, they feel, however, that the end g: lmll year may bring them nearer e N T;Aere s little doubt of their opti- mism, because of their continued efforts to solve a problem that at times offers many hard-shelled nuts to crack.
