BY ROBERT MACK Listeners the country over soon will be adding to their logs stations which heretofore they have been unable to pick up by virtue of the high power grants of the Federal Radio Commis- sion to 15 additional stations. Joining the ranks of the “big guns” of broadcasting, these stations will make for greatly improved reception in their service areas, according to/ the enthusiastic reaction ‘of the radio manufacturing industry. a1 strength will be increased and static and other interferences overridden to a great degree. Delay Is Expected It will be several months before this new high-power apparatus is installed by most of the stations. Of the total grants, nine stations were awarded the maximum power of 50,000 watts, with the other half-dozen suthorized to go to 25,000 watts. Already licensed for the maximum power are 14 stations, while two others have 25,000 watts and one 30,000 watts. Thus the roster of high power stations authorized to use 25,000 watts or more is raised to 32, these stations all assigned to so-called cleared channels set aside for high wer. In the industry and among the major portion of the broadcasters there is virtually unanimous support for more and more power on cleared channels, on the theory that vastly improved service may be provided for the listener with a diminution of interference. Under commission regulations only 20 of the 40 cleared channels may accom- modate stations of more than 25,000 watts and it adhered to that regula- tion in awarding the new grants. Allow for Appeals. ‘While the commission's grants are Kate Smith, Washington crooner, has fust terminated a record-breaking run of 11 consecutive weeks at the Palace - Theater in New York and will devote her time to radio. Morton Downey and the Boswell Sisters replace her on the theater program. I Major Radio Features ' INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTS. *The German Talkie,” by Emil Jan- nings, Erich Pommer, C.

The commission’s action is viewed as a step in the right direction by the .| industry. The next step, it is pre- dicted, will be the pros n for maxi- mum power broadcasti for all sta- tions on cleared channels. Public re- action favoring the new its will be such, according to the industry, that it will force the additional grants of 50,000 watts. Ultimately stations broad- casting with perhaps a million watts power are envisioned. (Copyright, 19319 ST.

LANS for the Navy's annual Navy day program, October 27, are going forward, de- spite the current political hubbub over naval disarmament and curtailment. This year again the radio, whose growth in Amer- ica was fostered by the Navy al- most from the day Guglielmo Marconi demonstrated his early spark transmitter to American military authorities, wili be called into piay to bring our scattered naval forces into mutual com- munication as part of the cele- bration. Plans also are being made to afford the radio-listening public a glimpse into Navy life by utilizing the broadcast networks of the National and Columbia systems. One of the features of this year's Navy day broadcast may be the relaying of programs staged aboard the U. S. S. Akron, the re-| cently launched giant dirigible,| and the U. S. S. Constitution of | historic fame. { Navy day will open with the‘ broadcasting of a message from the chief of naval operations to the Merchant Marine over all naval radio stations that transmit routine weather and hydrographic | reports and over a large number; of commercial stations. Then the | Secretary of the Navy will broad- cast a message via short waves from NAA, Arlington, and NPG, San Francisco, destined for all the fleets and for all amateurs to hear. | To the 25 amateurs who submit to him the best copies of his broadcast, Secretary Adams will| send letters of commendation, Hiram Percy Maxim, president of the American Radio Relg' League and a Naval Reserve officer, will also broadcast a message to the members of the league. The broadcasts from NAA will be on 4,205, 8,410 and 12,615 kilocycles; from NPG on 4,385 and 8,770 kilo- cycles, and from WIMK, head- quarters station of the A. R. R. L., at Hartford, Conn., 3,960 and 7,002 kilocycles. * % x % R. AUGUST HUND of the re-| search laboratories of Wired | Radio, Inc., New York City, is now | revealed as the inventor of the| new filamentless radio tube, for| which broad claims have been made that it can do everything the three-electrode vacuum tube| can do—amplify, rectify and oscil- | late. The tube, it is said, can be| manufactured at an extremely low ' cost and has undergone satisfac- tory tests in a three-tube radio set. Detalls of the tube will probabvly be announced shortly by C. W. Hough, president of Wired Radio, a subsidiary of the North Ameri- can Co., which controls utility properties in various parts of the United States. The only informa- tion thus far voluntered is that the new tube has been employzsa in test transmitters, and, having negllglble capacity, can be worked directly on short waves even below one meter. Exu:tlf' what effect the new tube will have on the radio tube trade is conjectural. The tube business recently was bgought to a new Foamnn of stabilization by the settlement of all the infringe- ment and damage suits involving the Radio Corporation of America. Not only did R. C. A. pay $1,000,000 to the DeForest Radio Co., and smaller amounts to 20 other com&)anles. but it reduced the tube license fees to 5 per cent and eliminated licensee quota limits. ‘This settlement followed the recent court decisions against R. C. A. In the celebrated “Clause 9” case. Damage suits aggregat- ing nearly $50,000,000 against R. C. A. and patent infringement suits brought by R. C. A. have all heent cleared away by the settle- ment. * * % x A SWEEPING history of music, embuclnfi the musical mas- terpieces of the ages, will be pre- senteq in the series of seven con- certs b{ Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra, to be broadcast this season, beginning tomorrow night. By giving his programs a uni- fled, chronological sequence, in addition to what has already been lanned, Stowkowski is thus mold- ng a series that will constitute the greatest cultural spectacle the worla has ever seen. With the largest network ever used for a symphonic concert, broadcasting the series to the re- motest corners of the country, and with a potential audience num- bered in the millions, he will be the central figure in the unprece- dented spectacle of a large pro- portion of an entire Nation seri- ously absorbing the finest music ever written. In effect, it is point- ed out, the series will constitute a mass dissemination of culture «HE out | 31 vast musical university of the alr, In presenting a carefully con- sidered history of music as the theme of his concerts, Stokowski adas substance and weight to the spectacular features of the series.
