The wax disk, called “electrical tran- scription” in radio circles, is proving a potent political force for a couple of radio-minded legislators from Kansas, | who have contrived an ingenious method of reporting to the folks back home which is simplicity itself. Home-recording radio. the combina- manufacturers last year, is the instru- ment employed in the “Temote control” radlo campaigning. Senator Capper ang Representative McGugin, both Kan- sas Republicans, have been making phonograph records weekly on current cvents and proceedings in Washington of interest to their constituents. The records are sent to particular stations in their State and broadcast on regular schedule Already the idea is spreading through the congressional ranks and several | Congressmen have taken advantage of Hhe opportunity of using the “studio” improvised by Representative McGugin in his apartment to make transcrip- | ticns of speeches. There hasn't been & | hitch in the production of canned pro- ! grams. tion set offered to the public by radio | It was the privilege of this corre- | spondent to witness a “studio perform- |ance” in the McGugin apartment. Mrs. | McGugin is the “control engineer” and | manipulates the knobs and gadgets for proper voice modulation. Senator Cap- | per first made his address into the min- | iature microphone. It was recorded on two sides of a blank disk. Upon com- | pletion of the “broadcast” the record was played back. Found to be accept- | able, it was immediately wrapped and | shipped to Station WIBW, at Topeka, | Kans., owned by the Senator. Senator Capper during the congres- sional recess delivered regular 15-min- | ute addresses each Tuesday over WIBW. | By the transcription method he is en- |abled to continue the series while at his desk in Washington. He began the | transcription ‘broadcasts’ three weeks ago. Mr. McGugin makes his weekly speeches via the wax method through | Stations KGGF of Coffeyville, his home |town, and KWHK of Shreveport, La., | operated by W. K. (Hello, World) Hen- | derson, who has waged a vigorous radio | campaign against chain stores and who | has consistently navigated in hot water with the Federal Radio Commission. Mr. McGugin, serving his first term in_Congress, conceived the idea origi- | nally. He saw the need for keeping his constituents apprised of developments and tried out the method while he was campaigning for Federal office The wax disk method has solved the long-standing problem of Congressmen of keeping in close contact with their ! constituents while remaining on the job in Washington. (Copyright, 1931.) A Challenge for he Bicentennial Year Challenges of the present day recall the challenges arising out of the uncertainties of the beginnings of our Federal Government. It will help to recall, in the beginning of this Bicentennial year, the words the Father of Our Country uttered as he retired from the presidency— *“Be united—be American—Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you m your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together. The independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts—of common dangers, sufferings and successes. Beware of attacks, open or covered, upon the Consti- tution. Beware of the baneful effects of extremes in party spirit. Keep the departments of government separate, promote education, cherish the public credit. Observe justice and good faith toward all nations; have neither passionate hatreds nor passionate attachments to any. In one word, be a nation, be American, and be true to yourselves.” Cloyd H. Marvin Chairman, District of C~lumbia Ricentennial Commission Woodward & Lothrop considers it a privilege to present this New Year's Greeting from Dr. Marvin, chairman of the District Bicen- tennial Commission, and to join in urging the co-operation of every citizen in contributing generously of his time and effort—in making this the finest celebration ever accorded the memory of a great man.
