Thomas Kelly, when Mrs. Belle ; ‘Willlams, president, presided. The fact that a veteran is recelving a civil service retirement annuity does not prevent him from also receiving the benefits of the disability allow- ance, or so-called World War pension, according to a recent ruling by the general counsel of the Veterans' Bu- reau. This question was raised when a veteran's disability allowance wds dis- continued when it came to the atten- tion of the Veterans' Bureau that he was recelving civil service retirement pay. The monthly meeting of the George E. Killeen Post was held at the Post Club, 3265 M street, with Comdr. Rich- Eugene A. Costello, chairman of the Boys’ Drum and Bugle Corps, reported progress. Comdr.

ADIO studios and homes alike have recently been given the advantages of several new developments in the acoustical field that are re- garded by experts as tremendous advances in the art of repro- aucing speech and music on rec- ords and on the radio practically as faithfully as their original ren- ditions. Touching the public most inti- mately is the new lung-plnymgl record that has just been brought | on the market. It is capable of reproducing an entire symphony, a complete vaudeville act or a musical program lasting a full half hour, Called “program transcripitons,” matic changing instruments. The long-playing feature is obtained by slowing down the turntable ber of grooves on the playing sur- face. The discs are made of a| new semi-flexible composition that | makes practicable the finer grooves, reduces noises by at least half and will not break| when dropped. Second of the acoustical developments is the so-called “hill-and-dale” record- ing system of electrical transcrips tions for broadcasting stations. Instead of cutting the grooves| laterally for frequency response,| they are cut up and down—hence | the name hill and dale. This makes possible a narrower groove and practically eliminates all the noises of the needle scratch. This “hill-and-dale” system, so| far as known, has been maae| available only to radio stations.| which are now large users of| recordings. It is being hailed by the broadcasters, especially thosed recent new have no chain affiliations, but which want to carry quality pro-| grams. | The third new improvement in acoustics is another radio develop- ment, which to the public means improved quality in the concert programs it hears. It is the elec-| trodynamic microphone, intro- ducea during the concert of the Philaaelphia Symphony Orches- | tra, led by Leopold Stokowski, over the Columbia network the night of October 12. An extremely small-sized microphone that can be conveniently mounted in any desirable position and that is not affected by atmospheric vari-| ations, it not only will pick up a wide frequency range, but de- livers more power to the amplifier and reduces aistortion. In fact, giving a uniform re- sponse over the whole audible range of frequencies from 20 to 10,000 cycles, this microphone de- livers to the control room a “sig- nal” or fully toned program that even the network wires cannot fully carry and that few trans- mitting stations can really broad- cast. It is believed to render the nearest to realistic reproduction of a full orchestra that it is pos- sible to achieve over the radio,! considering radio’s present limi- tations. | o OUNG PETER GOELET, scion of an old and wealthy New York family, apparently has un- wittingly let himself in for a lot of publicity and possible criminal prosecution by operating an un- licensed broadcasting station at his home in Goshen, N. Y., a few — e ————— miles northwest of New York City. Newspaper reports that his fa- ther, bert Goelet, New York banker, had delivered an anti- rohibition speech over a Station 'WKY led the Federal inspector’s office at New York City to inves- tigate the existence of the station, there being no record of such call letters. Admitted by the butler when the youth was not at home, the inspector reported that he found a “very well equipped” station of 300 watts, apparently home-made, but of good desigr. The station, it developed, had | been operating variously on wave lengths between 1030 and 1200 kilocycles, and many persons had spoken over it. The inspector, in | his report to his superiors here,’ expressed the belief that young | Goelet had built and operated the | station innocently unaware that | the law required a license and that his wave length selections might cause interference to other stations. What - disposition the Radio | Commission will make of the case | has not been decided, though it has several times prosecuted and convicted unlicensed broadcast- ers. The radio act makes it un- lawful to operate a radio station without a license from the com- mission, the penalties being a | $5,000 fine, five years’ imprison- ment, or both. | * * % *x CLARENCE DARROW, despite | the publicity given his ap- | pearance as counsel in scare-head crimiral cases, is not as well | known in his home town of Chir cago as are Clara, Lu and Em,! members of a daily radio skit.

A ADIO “star gazing” for a fee ana stations that lend their fAcilities for that purpose have| come under a Federal Radio Com- mission taboo. Like several sta-| tions that have been used to broadcast questionable medical advice, two more broadcasters have been cited for hearings be-| fore the commission in line with | that body’s recently announcea policy of looking with disfavor upon radio fortunetelling, lot-| teries, games of chance, gift en- terprises and similar schemes that are already barred from the mails by the postal laws. The stations cited are KTAB, San Francisco, and WCBA, Allen- town, Pa. The former is charged by Col. Thad Brown, commission general counsel, with allowing s&n astrologer, “Zoro,” to solicit ques- tions, for the answers to which over the air they pay $1 and re- ceive a “star map.” The Pennsyl- vania station is alleged to have allowed one Dr. Richards to give star readings to persons who would purchase certain books he waz selling. Though KTAB itself submitted a transcript of the “Zoro” broad- casts to the commission and promised to cancel the contract with fhe astrologer, Col. Brown recommended a hearing on whether the station’s license should be renewed, which wili probably be set for next month. In the Allentown case Col. Brown chargea that the licensee “has knowingly permittea false and misleading ~ advertising to be broadcast.” Although the com- mission is without Jowers of cen- sorship, it has exercised broad powers of discretion under the “public interest” clause of thg radio law.

Col. Willlam H. Waldron, United States Army, the executive of the Mili- tia Bureau, has written to the adjutant general of the District of Columbia and to the States, inviting their attention to the excellent training of radio op- erators in the National Guard, as dem- | onstrated the past Summer at Fort Riley, Kans, under the supervision of Lieut. Col. W. E. McFarland. The report of Col. McFarland, re- celved at the Militia Bureau, the an- nouncement says. indicates the Na- tional Guard radio telegraph station, operating at Fort Ril established an | amateur radio net within the State during its l’rfiulu‘ Summer encamp- ment and exchanged a total of 3,771 radiograms with cities in Kansas, where units of the National Guard are sta- tioned. These radiograms were per- sonai greetings between members of the National Guard in camp for the annual field training and relatives and friends at their home stations. and were without charge. These messages, it was stated further, were handled at the home stations voluntarily by 1li- censed amateur radid telegraphers, who delivered them either by telephone or by the aid of Boy Scouts. The radio’ station at the camp was op- erated by members of the Kansas Na- tioral Guard, and this service was in addition to ’their regular duties as oldiers. Col. McFarland reported that all the operators concerned handled the messages with unusual rapidity and accuracy, and demonstrated practical efficiency. He further reports that all the apparatus used was by the operators themselves and re- quired technical ability of a high order. Col. Waldron, in his letter, stated: “By this method of training radio operators, a high degree gf efficiency was obtained, which is evidenced by the speed and number of messages handled by the several amateur stations. A closer contact was made between the friends and relatives of the guardsmen, thereby creating interest, of the citizens in their local National Guard. There will be, no doubt, a greater interest shown by the young men of technical knowledge throughout the communities where the different units are located, thereby facilitating recruiting of the tvpe of young men greatly dezired by | “homemade” | The purport of the first section of the | proposed new legislation is to place the | commissioned personnel of the corps | under laws which now govern the com- | missioned line personnel of the Navy | instead of the laws which govern pro- | motion in the Army, which latter, in | the main, at present cover promotion in the corps. The direct result of such legislation, when engcted into law, would distribute the comrissioned personnel of the corps as follows: One major general comman- | dant, 4 major generals of the line, 1 major general of the staff, 5 brigadier | generals cf the line, 2 brigadier generals | of the staff, 32 colcnels of the line, in- ciusive of 1 additional number in grade; |7 colonels of the staff, 77 lieutenant colonels of the line, 5 lieutenant col- | cnels of the staff, 155 majors of the line, 309 captains of the line, with 433 per- sons holding rank as either first or sec- ond leutenants, respectively. The com- bined grand total of line and staff com- missioned personnel would be 1,031, which therefore means no increase, as the present combined line and staff per- sonnel is exactly 1,031, which latter dis- tribution, however, allows of no balance between each grade and the next higher grade. Under the provisions of this proposed legislation no increase of pay would issue to two major generals of the line, one major general of the staff and the junior brigadier general of the line, No. ‘5. In_addition to certain junior col- cnels, lleutenant colonels, majors, cap- tains and first lieutenants, respectively, who, notwithstanding being fully com- missioned and performing the duties per- | taining to such commission, would not receive equivalent pay therefor.
