COMMISSION URGED 1 T0 BAR TWO STATIONS Each Had Requested Chief Engi- neer Yost to Remove the Other. In its outspoken determination to drive astrologers and other soothsayers off the air and its tacit plans to elimi- nate undesirable broadcasters gradually, the Federal Radio Commission last week | had before it one of the most unusual examiner's reports ever submitted. Two Los Angeles stations, bitter local rivals but forced to share a common wave length, appeared before Chief Ex- aminer Ellis A. Yost last July, each to demand that the other be taken off that wave length, so that it might have full time. The case, as usual in such cases, developed into a contest between the station officials and their counsel to show that the one was rendering a superior service to the other. Yost, however, apparently became disgusted with both. In the case of KTM, one of the applicants, he found the record replete with broadcasts by an astrol- oger called Zenda. In the case of KELW. the rival applicant, he found it mismanaged. off the air periodically, poorly equipped and in such desperate financial straits that it sold time “for whatever rates the advertiser was will- ing to pay. ¢ In his recommendation to the com- mission Yost points out that the bur- den is upon an applicant station to prove that its service is superior to the other and in the public interest. In the KTM-KELW case, he said, neither applicant had proved a case, and urged the commission to deny not only their applications but the license renewals of both. It is the first time in the com- mission’s history that a recommenda- tion of this kind has been rendered.

Sets Pace for Industry's March Throughout World. Considered Phenomenon. Radio’s almost reckless march of progress that has set it apart as a phe- nomenon among industries, continues; unabated throughout the world, with the United States setting the pace. ‘That is the gist of the Commerce Department’s survey of radio markets and conditions throughout the world,| made public last week in a compre- hensive volume based on reports from all over the globe. In the entire world it is estimated that there are between 30,000,000 and 40,000,000 radio receiving | sets, of which at least one-half are said to be within the United States. And of the world's population of broad- casting _stations, estimated at 1,300, nearly 50 per cent (610 stations) are reported to be in this country. Compiled by Lawrence D. Batson, of the department’s electrical equip- ment division, the report is designed primarily to help American radio manu- facturers merchandise their commodi- ties in the export field, which now | represents about a $23,000,000 turnover annually. But it is crammed with in- formation about broadcasting customs and conditions throughout the world, and shows significantly how many nations are following the lead set by the United States along progranr lines.

SIGNALS TO GAUGE RADIO ACCURACY |New Station of Standards Bureau Expected to Cut Interference. Radio signals, accurate to tHe degree of one in 5,000,000, soon will be streak- ing on dally schedule from the new master station of the Bureau of Stand- ards, to be available to all stations and to radio-minded listeners in calibrat- ing their equipment for precision oper- ation. Avoldance of “wave-wobble” and con-' sequent interference for the listener is d this newly expanded service. Effective October 1, the signals will be sent out from the bu- reau's new station continuously from {16 a.m. to 12 noon, and from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., Eastern standard time, on Tuesdays. Formerly, a less imposing schedule was maintained. Marred in Some Areas. Ultimately, the bureau hopes to pro- vide 24-hour service on a permanent basis, and to increase the accuracy of its signals to one in 10,000,000, as well as to boost the power of the standard frequency station, WWV, so that its signals may be picked up at points over the entire world. Now, while the ticns in this country, reception is marred in some sections. i While the service primarily is for the benefit of transmitting stations, listen- ers having a technical knowledge of radio also can use it. The signal is| transmitted on the short wave channel of 5000 kilocycles and can only picked up on a short wave receiver. A | listener, for instance, can tune in his short wave receiver and check the pre- | cision with which his own broadcast re- | ceiver is tuning stations. Instructions | on how to use this service have been published in a pamphlet available for distribution by the bureau. Interference Reduced. By enabling broadcasters to keep in the center of their ethereal track, in- terference is sharply reduced and the listener gets improved reception, pro- vided his own receiver is efficient. Sim- ply by picking up the signals, which consist principally of a serles of very long dsshes, a station may check its frequency, working out its own precise frequency by a simple mathematical formula. In announcing the new schedule, the bureau stated it desired to receive re- ports on the transmission, especially be- cause radio transmission phenomena change with the season of the year In addition to this, the bureau desires all listener information it can get to aid in its studies of stauic and fading, arch enemies of good reception.
