NOVEMBER 30, 1930—PART FOUR. Behind the Microphone BY THE RADIO EDITOR. ONFIDENT that business depression will not have a material efféct on the radio industry, the Radio Manu- facturers’ Association predicts that between $150,000,000 and $200,- 000,000 in sales of new radio re- ceiving sets, tubes and other products will be diverted into business channels before Christ- mas. Many unusual broadcasting fea- tures in the next few weeks are expected by the association to greatly increase the normal vol- ume of pre-holiday sales.of radio sets. The Army-Navy foot ball game in New York on December 13, and the Navy-Pennsylvania contest on December 6, it believes, will greatly assist in the “buy now” campaign to stimulate busi- ness. The radio trade, including job- bers and dealers, is being urged to assist. in the “buy now” campaign. ‘The foot ball games and other premiere broadcasting events will be used as a stimulus to sales of radio apparatus. A recemt Department of Com- merce statement estimates that there are now some 13,000,000 radio sets in use. Replacement of new tubes, antennae, etc., is estimated to involve an expenditure of close to $50,000,000 before Christmas, while sales of receiving sets dur- ing this perlod are expected to reach between $100,000,000 and $150,000,000. * Xk % X INUTE DRAMAS,” as pre- sented weekly over WMAL and the Columbia network, require many hours of preparation, ac- cording to the authors—A. E. Scott, former theatrical producer, and Thomas McKnight, a writer. “Minute dramas have been evolved from theatrical ‘black- outs,’” said Mr. McKnight. “They are complete little stories of hu- morous happenings told in as few words as possible. Most impor- tant of all, they must absolutely possess what we term an ending. In other words the story must take an unexFected and amusing twist at the climax.

Next we put these stories into pre- liminary rehearsal, during which most of them are rejected. About one in five is smoothed out and made ready for dress rehearsal. “At the dress rehearsal we intro- duce the musical selections and the ‘between acts’ continuity until the entire drama is woven to- gether into a coherent whole.” In the Minute Drama series “Henry” is played by Herbert Polesie, former KDKA announcer; “George” by Teddy Bergman, one- time wrestler and physical in- structor; “Flo” by Georgia Backus, actress and Columbia director of dramatics, and “Pete” by Billy Artz, orchestra director. x X X X NTICIPATING an outery in Congress against the present division of radio broadcasting facilities among the States, all members of the Federal Radio Commission with the exception of Commissioner H. A. Lafount have advanced plans for meeting the State quota obligations imposed by the Davis equalization amend- ment. The Davis amendment pre- scribes an equal division of wave lengths, power and hours of oper- ation among the five zones into which the country is divided for radio administrative purposes and then a division nmong the States within those zones in proportion to_their populations. Wide dm‘)afltles between States were revealed by the 1930 census, upon the basis of which it was found that mathematically half of the States of the Union are overquota at the expense of the underquota half. The disparities are generally easily explained by the fact that radio grew and thrived in the thickly populous areas, but remained backward elsewhere. The underquota areas now are bringing strong pressure to bear to secure their legal due. All of the propositions of the commissioners appear to recognize the practical impossibility of tak- ing away immediately from one section and giving to another— yet that probably is the only ultimate solution in view of the already overcrowded condition of the 90 available channels with their burden of more than 600 broadcasters. Chairman Charles McK. Saltz- man in one of the.few official policy statements he has made since assuming office a year ago proposes a weeding-out process, or a program looking to the sur- vival of the fittest to broadcast. Summarily ordering unfit stations off the air, he would turn their assignments over to those more worthy of the broadcasting privi- lege, presumably in the under- quota areas. This attitude of the ex-chief of the Army Signal Corps, observers agree, is extremely “hard-boiled” by comparison with the hitherto lenient attitude of the commission toward most of- fenders. Commissioner W. D. L. Star- buck’s proposal for equalizing the States is simply that the com- mission “gradually adjust” the underquota States upward and the overquota downward by increas- ing the stations, powers, hours of operation, etc., in the former and decreasing them in the latter. Like Gen. Saltzman, he would eliminate primarily for cause. That this would take considerable time he agrees—but he thinks it is the only legal method whereby equalization can be accomplished | E: in view of its rigid mathematical demands. Commissioner Ira E. Robinson proposes a sort of compromise. Recognizing that the property|= rights issue has not yet been set- tled, taking cognizance of the fact that the commission almost in- variably is blocked in the courts in any effort to deprive a station of its facilities, and noting recent figures showing that radio re- ceivers are thickest where broad- casting facilities are most abun- dant, Commissioner Robinson pro- poses to leave the overquota States alone, but would add sta- tions, powers and hours in the underquota States. To this proposition Commis-| sioner E. O. Sykes gives his ap- proval.

He would have the commission’s engineers work out a new and scientific allocation based on the equalization require=- ment, the commission would then pass on the plan, allocate stations, hold hearings for stations op- posing the changes that would necessarily be required and then decide if and when the allocation plan should go into effect. The Robinson - Sykes scheme would thus bring up to their mathematical quotas the under- quota States while leaving the overquota States undisturbed. Though this means the addition of new stations, higher powers, etc., on the already overcrowded wave length, their theory is that the resultant interference is less important than that the rights of the States to their just quotas should be unrecognized. ‘The underquota States are Penn= sylvania, Indiana, South Caro- lina, Mississippi, Michigan, Ala- bama, Massachusetts, West Vir- ginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Arkansas, Maryland, Kansas, Vermont, Idaho, Montana, Rhode Island, Ohio, Georgia, New Mexico, Ari- zona, Maine and the District of Columbia—and it will be the rep- resentatives in Congress from those States who will be loudest in their criticisms of the commis- sion in the pendlng session.
