Behind the Microphone || BY THE RAD HERE was much ado In Washington last week over the sudden appearance of Dr. John R. Brinkley, de- osed Kansas medico-broadcaster, protest to the State Department | against what he declared were| undue representations by Ambas- sador Reuben Clark at Mex- ico City to Mexican authorities against his activities in connection with XER, newest ana most pow- erful broadcasting station in the| Western Hemisphere. | Dr. Brinkley, flanked by a husky, | described by Brinkley’s Washing- | ton representative as his body- guard, conferred with Undersecre- | tary Castle by an appointment ar- ranged through the offices of Vice President Curtis, former Sen- ator from Kansas. Denying himself to newspaper men, Brinkley left here with the | assurance that the State Depart- | ment has not asked the Mexican government to bar his presence in Mexico, a development reputed to have occurrea just before the Mexican cabinet resigned last week. He did obtain an admis- sion from Mr. Castle, however, that the record of the case which led the Federal Radio Commission to rule his former radio station at Milford, Kans., off the air had been forwarded to Mexico.

Radio Commission, later upheldI by the courts, ruled that his med- ical advice broadcasts were in- imical to the puplic health and his station therefore not operating in the %)ubnc interest. Thereupon he went to Mexico, organized a Mex- ican corporation to build a 75,000~ watt station just across the Rio Grande from Del Rio, Tex., and resumed broadcasting by remote control hook-ups from micro- phones on this siae of the border. Operating with such high power on 635 kilocycles, XER has been heard in many parts of the Unit- ed States and Canada, interfering with transmissions by an Amer- ican station on 740 kilocycles and a Canadian station on 730. i the American station has not made formal protest, the Cana-| dian station, owned by the power- ful news&aper La Presse of Montreal, is reported to have pro- tested to dominion authorities. Dr. Brinkley let it be known while here that he is contemplat- ing shifting the wave length of ‘R to 655 kilocycles, not out of consideration for the American or Canaaian stations, but to relieve interference being suffered by a smaller daylight station, KMMJ, Clay Center, Nebr., operating with 1,000 watts on 740 kilocycles. The Nebraska region is part of the area he wants to reach with his new broadcast messages. S. If XER shifts to 655 kilocycles it will then be half wag between the clear channels of WSM, Nash- ville, on 650, and WEAF, New York, on 660, and will again be a | potential source of interference. * ok ok K NEW device which may im- rove the quality and practi- cability of international broad- casting -is being tested by engi- neers of .he National Broadcasting Co., who, according to C.

He declined to divulge the levnnture of the experiments, but|n said “the tests were conductea for the purpose of proving a fundamental theory by which we hope to build and improve ex- changes of international broad- casts.” “We are slowly but surely work- ing toward that time when the quality of broadcasts from for- eign countries will compare with those originating locally, and ac- cepted as an everyday accom- plishment,” Horn declared. * X X % WXTH 1931 radio receiving set sales estimated generally at between 2,500,000 to 3,000,000— bringing this country’s total to well over 12,000,000—most Ameri- (Continued on Seventh Page.) -PHILCO- WORLD'S LARGEST SELLING RADIO $89.75 COMPLETE WITH TUBES REE HOME TRIAL want you to test one of the new PHILCO Balanced Superhetero- in your own home—WITHOUT COST OR OBLIGA.- TION.

OCTOBER 2 19 NEW N. B. C. CHAIN STIRS RADIO WORLD Added Significant Changes in Broadcasting Are Expected. BY ROBERT MACK. Formation by the National Broad- casting Co. of a second network on the Pacific Coast marks a new offshoot in chain broadcasting likely to be followed by other significant changes in the radio structure. | ‘With both N. B. C. and the Columbia Broadcasting System in the market for | additional stations it is ciear that they | are endeavoring to acquire as many fully-owned outlets as they can get. The networks are finding it increasingly difficult to get member stations to broadcast their sponsored programs at the regular chain advertising rates, pa; ticularly in large population centers, and the purchase or lease of stations is m{n: fostered to strengthen their posi- ns. Buys Four Stations, The N. B. C. has established its new Pacific network as a result of its pur- chase a few weeks ago of four stations which served as the nucleus of the de- funct American Broadcasting network. It has now so divided its Pacific Coast stations as to form two networks of five stations each, replacing its former sin- gle_chain of nine stations. One of the new Pacific chains is| called the orange net, and comprises KGO, Oakland, as key; KFI, Los An- geles; KGW, Portland; KOMO, Seattle, and KHQ, Spokane. The second is the gold net, consisting of Stations KPO, San Francisco, as key; KECA, Los An- geles; KEX, Portland; KJR, Seattle, and KGA, Spokane. As supplements tc either of the networks Stations KFSD, | 181;2 Diego, and KTAR, Arizona, may be; ed. In the Northwest group purchased by | N. B. C. were Stations KEX, KJR, KGA | and KYA, San Francisco. The latter | station has not been assigned to either of the networks. N. B. C. Has Four Networks. Under the new arrangement the N. B. C. has four distinct and separate networks, which may be sold to pro- gram sponsors independently. Columbia, on the other hand, has but one basic network of more than 80 affiliated sta- tions. This network, however, is offered to sponsors in several regional coverage groups, such as the New England, Mid- western, Pacific and Dixie chains. Columbia shortly is expected to an- nounce its outright purchase of Stations ‘WCCO and WKRC, Minneapolis, now afliated with the network. Effective November 1, Station WGN, Chicago, will switch from N. B. C. to Columbia, while WMAQ, Chicago, in which N. B. C. recently purch: one-half interest, will join that network and leave Co- umbia. | Widely circulated reports that N. B. C. would acquire control of the three im- portant Westinghouse stations, KDKA, Pittsburgh, the world’s first station; WBZ-WBZA, Boston-Springfield, and KYW, Chicago, are denied by F. A. Merrick, Westinghouse president. (Copyright, 1931.) The Duke of Abercorn, Governor of Northern Ireland, has voluntarily re- duced his salary of $40,000 a year to| $32,000.
