PLAN WIDER TESTS IN SYNCHRONIZATION Stations Trying After-Midnight Broadeasting Will Repeat Efforts in Daylight. After-midnight synchronization tests, with three of the most important and highest red Proadcasting stations in the Ui States operating simulta- neously on me same wave length, have been extended to the daylight and early evening hours to determine whether such synchronized operation is practi- cable under normal broadcasting con- ditions. Stations KDKA at Pittsburgh, WGY st Bchenectady and WEAF at New York have been linked together by tele- |11 phom lines to operate for the next 30 days on WEAF's normal frequency of 660 kilocycles, carrying an identical net- work program under authority of the Feders: Radio Commission, Whose engi- neers are wlwhini the tests carefully. The land-line hook-up is necessary to hoid the stations precisely on frequency in order to avoid interference. Station WEAF should be heard by its usual sudience as before, but KDKA will use an auxiliary transmitter known as W8XT and WGY will use one known as ' W2XAG for the simultaneous broad- casts on 660 kilocycles, Their usual programs will be heard also on_their regularly assigned wave lengths. Under tie commission’s requirement, however, the experimental transmitters must identify themselves at frequent intervals during the synchrénized broadcasts. The tests, if successful, may point the way to future chain broadcasting on one wave length, although the heavy cost, of the land-line connection for sta- tions situated far apart geographically is a deterrent which must be overcome. National Broadcasting Co. engineers, headed by C. W. Horn, are in charge of the tests, which are being undertaken between these three stations first be- fpause they are in fairly close proximity.

The fact that all amateur licenses will hereafter be issued by the com- mission is seen by many as another step toward an eventual fusion of the radio services of the Department o(; Commerce into the commission. Such | & move has been proposed in Congress, and more recentl was indorsed by the Radio Manufacturers’ Association as a logical preliminary to the proposed tablishment of a Federal communica- | tions commission. By taking over amateur licensing the | Federal Radio Commission is now the! licensing authority over all classes of radio stations under the American flag. Amateur licenses are issued for periods of one year to bona fide citizens prop- erly qualified in tests which will con- tinue to be given through the district and suboffices of the Radio Divi- sion of the Department of Commerce. ey, SEVENTH YEAR ON AIR Betty Crocker to Open Radio Cook- ing School Friday.

HIH POWER LIMIT MAY BE REPEALED = Impression Growing Federal Radio Commission Will Revise Its Stand. BY MARTIN CODEL. With engineering testimony thus far preponderantly in favor of high-power broadcasting on the cleared channels, the impression is gaining strength in ‘Washington that the Federal Radio Commission will feel constrained to re- peal its limitations on high-power broadcasting shortl; the hearings on 50,000-watt applica- tions in mid-October. listeners generally this means more consistent and reliable re- ception of the programs of more sta- tions on less sensitive receiving sets because of the stronger signal strength and wider service areas that greater wattage permits. Will Meet Objection. On the other hand, the proposed in- crease of perhaps 25 in the number of 50,000-watt stations will meet stren- uous objection within the commission ranks as well as among some of the smaller broadcasters and their politi- cal sponsors, They fear the submerg- ence of local low-powered broadcasting stations, if not some of the medium- powered regionals, in favor of high- Em\ered stations capable of rendering igh-class service over very wide listen- ing ranges. The impression that high power will win out ultlml'fily is strengthened by the fact that the board of directors of the Radio Manufacturers’ Association, representing most of the radio-set pro- duction in this country, went on record at its New York meeting last week in favor of increasing power on all cleared channels. The R. A, m fact recommended an increase ip the numbe of cleared channels and "the deletlfln of stations not performing a real service to _the public.” The decision rests with the Federal Radio Commission, which recently en- acted an_order limiting the number of cleared channels that may be used with maximum power of 50,000 watts to four to each zone, or 20 in the whole coun- try. There are 40 cleared channels un- der the reallocation of 1928. Only 14 broadcasting stations on those channels are now operating with 50,000 watts or To radio after the close of' | said that LARGEST 1350 F St. N.W. In the National Press Bldg. have been authorized to build to that power. Move Toward High Power. The effect of the commission’s limi- tation order was to itate a veri- e hegira toward high power, 27 ad- ditional stations join the hear- ings, which enter their fourth week to- morrow, when fourth-zone applicants are heard, and their final week October 13, when fifth-wone applications are heard. Chief Examiner Ellis A. Yost is conducting all the hearings. Most of the applicants are now on glonals. It remains for the commis- sion, if it stands by its original order, to select six out of the 27 applicants for high power. This, many believe, is a dilemma the commission will seek to avoid, for fair choice between the rela- tive merits of the applicant stations, practically all of which are lndm in their respective territories, is impossi- ble of accomplishment without recrim- inations on the score of favoritism. Then, too, the losers in the race for hlgh power would inevitably turn to the sn ineers representing the lppuunt st-uons were almost of one accord in urging unlimited power as the way to make the maximum use of the cleared channels. The only dissenting \olce thus far heard came from Dr. C. Jolliffe, chief engineer of the commll slon, who supported the commission’s limitation order as ‘“reasonable” and wer increases should not be author on more than 20 channels until the commission has had time to study. the effects of power. Position of Lehlbach. As a scientist, Dr. Jolliffe’s tendency, however, is toward high power. Even Representative Prederick Lehlbach of New Jersey, who is about to become chairman of the committee in charge of radio in the Lower House of Con- gress, more or less committed himself to high power when he testified in favor of the commission’s increasing the power of WOR, Newark, to 50,000 watts. Within the commission there is an evenly divided attitude toward high power, with Chairman Saltzman hold- ing the deciding vote. Former Chair- man Robinson is unalterably opposed to the resent trend toward high power, but believes that a few high-powered cleared channel stations might be sit- uated at strategic points in the inte- rior of the country so that the widest possible area could be served.
