TWO0 RADIO STATIONS REMOVED FROM AIR| Newark and Jersey City Broad- oasters Silenced by Com- mission. The supreme radio penaity of removal from the air has been meted out to two more radio stations by the Federal Radio Commission in its determined campaign to clear up the ether waves. Stations WNJ, Newark, and WKBO, Jersey City, both 250-watters, were ordered silent and their hours of opera- tion on the 1.450-kilocycie channel as- signed to Station WHOM, Jersey O The action follows the drastic step of the commission of about a week 8go order the deletion of Stations WIBO and WPCC, both in Chicago, to make Way on their jointly occupied channel |for WIKS of ‘Gary.

The commission sustained the recom- mendations of Examiner Elmer W.Pratt in deleting the two New Jersey stations. Station WHOM had requested full time on the frequency. but the commission approved three-fourths time to it with Station WBMS.

JAPAN AUTHORIZES SEVEN NEW RADIO STATIONS 800,000 Set Owners May Soon Get Programs From 22 Broad- casters. Plans for the construction of seven new broadcasting stations to widen the service furnished by the 15 existing sta- tlons of the Japan Central Broadcasting Corporation have been approved by the Japanese Department of Communica- tions, according to a report to the De- partment of Commerce from the as- sistant American trade commissioner at Tokio, H. B. Titus. A monopoly under government aus- pices. with the Department of Com- munications having the power of cen- sorship over programs, runs the radio system of Japan. Owners of radio sets, of whom there are nearly 800.000, pay 8 license fee of 1 yen (about 50 cents) the [Der month for the listening privilege. Advertising is barred. Most of Japan's radio manuf industry consists of the assembly of sets from imported parts.

Capt. pt. Eddie PUBLIC'S REACTION T0 RADIO WATCHED Close Check to Avoid Adver- tising Excesses Kept by Broadeasters. BY MARTIN CODEL. DETROIT, Mich., October 31—How keenly sensitive many American broad- casters are to the listtning publie's re- actions to their offerings was demon- strated during discussions of commer- cial broadcasting, especially objection- able radio advertising, that featured the annual convention of the National As- soclation of Broadcasters here this week. Broadcasters joined in with Dub; ments on the fulfiliment of their public service obligations contained in an ad- dress by Senator Wallace White, jr., of Maine, co-author of the radio law. How- close heed of Senator apd objection- able sales ballyhoo on the radio it bring upon their heads an und e censorship from the Pederal Radio Com- mission or some other governmental au- thorities. Senator White sald that the alterna- against certain forms of radio adver- j tising might be n, and indicated denied that broadcasters have any prop- erty or rity rights, and asserted that thin the scope of the Federal au- thorities to take any station off ghe air, without comrnunun, should 18 fall to lc service obligations. Ex- amples of this are sighted in the fact that the Federal Radio Commission has recently ordered a number of stations off the air for failure to provide what the commission as adequate tions were named and condemned for their advertising content. One radio broadcaster said that he believed many station mai TS were paying more attention to maintenance of their local advertising on a high level than what the networks were dof Seth Parker in the Movies POPULAR RADIO CHARACTER FEATURED.

Seth has returned Behind the Microphone BY THE RADIO EDITOR. waning year is marking several important radio an- niversaries. Tomorrow is the eleventh anniversa: of KDKA, which, thoug fnceded by several desultory but airly successful attempts to broadcast speech, was the first broadcasting station in the world to go into scheduled dally opera- tion. Properly enough, KA calls itself the “world’s pioneer broadcaster,” for it was the first rmanent station ever estab- ished anywhere. On December 12 next Guglielmo Marconi celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of his successful ef- fort to span the ocean with wire- less signals. It was on that date in 1901, that, after various more or less su ul experiments with his crude wireless apparatus in ship-to-shore and short over- land transmissions, he succeeded in tuning in the letter “S” from a transmitter at Poldu, in the British Isles:. He himself was at the listening end at a pick-uj station he had established at St. John’s, on the Newfoundland banks. It was the late Thomas Alva Edison, himself the discoverer of the “Edison effect” in evacuated lamps, the electronic stream that was later to be harnessed by Dr. tons which will start or stop the volumes, switch on or off any one of four loud speakers and tune any one of eight stations. The control box is connected to the instrument by a flexible cord or may be built into the wall, * %X * % FEDERAL sales tax on radio receiving sets to aid in bol- stering the Nation’s depleted rev< enues is under consideration b; the Treasury Department, an may be proposed to Congress next December in a new internal rev- enue schedule. With several million sets sold annually, internal revenue ex- perts have decided that a small tax on set sales would, yield sub- stantial revenue and yet not be felt either by the public or the in- dustry. They are inclined to classify radio as a semi-luxury, like jewelry, automobile, and con- fections, and in these times, when mated at $2,000,000,000 for the current year, it is deemed desir- able to an excise nature.

It is a German invention called the “Blattnerphone,” which con- sists of a steel tape, only one- quarter inch wide, and upon which a broadcast gmfl'lm can be recorded when it passed through a magnetizer. To repro- duce the program the tape is zuud through a pick-up at- ed to an ordinary amplifier. The tape can be “wiped off” and used again for other purposes. Such a device is now standard equipment in the studios of the British Broadcasting Corporation. It is used for auditions and re- hearsals as well as to preserve momentous programs. Speeches of notables and “running com- mentaries” of important events have already been reproduced and rebroadcast by means of the device.
