The Old-Fashioned Gospel Taber- nacle and a Church of the Air pro- gram are among WOL's other outstand- ing attractions. GENERAL INCREASE IN POWER SOUGHT Movement Under Way for “Hori- zontal” Boost for All Radio Stations. A movement for a “horizontal in- crease” in power for all broadcasting stations, to enable them to boost their outputs five-fold or more, is gaining impetus in station ranks. Technically, it is claimed that every station would expand its service area and that listen- ers now receiving signals marred by fading or other interferences would be greatly benefited. Already the trend toward higher power on the_ exclusive or so-called clear channels has taken tangible form. In the last year the number of siations broadcasting with a power of 50,000 ‘wat! e maximum allowed under present regulations — has increased from a dozen to double that number. Seven other stations have boosted their output from 5,000 watts to 25,000 watts. Engineers contend that by increasing the rower of all stations proportionally the level of interference will not be in- creased, but measurably reduced. If stations on clear channels were allowed to increase their power, while those on other waves were held back, they say that the amount of inter-channel in- terference would-be increased. In radio circles it is expected that this country will follow the lead taken by Europe and other cnnflnentf in rais- ing station power.

Police radio may invade the ultra- enabling the patrolmen cruising about their beats in scout cars to communi- cate by two-way radio with their head- quarters. The feasibility of a two-way radio system in the hitherto unused portion of the ether already has been proved in experiments conducted in a number of cities. More than 100 cities now are employing one-way radio service in criminal apprehension work, operat- ing in the intermediate short-wave band, already overcrowded with other services to such an extent that two- way transmission cannot be provided. In the ultra-high frequencies, how- ever, ample space is now avatlable. In tests thus far conducted low-power transmitters, having an output of about two and one-half watts, or ly | enough for a flashlight bulb, have been used to talk to and from police cars with headquarters. The aj tus is extremely light and the quality of voice transmission unusually good. In connection with possible use of these waves, which range from 30,000 kilocycles to infinity, Police Commis- sioner E. C. Hultman of Boston has conferred here with the Federal Radio Commission. He pointed out the ad- vantages to be derived from two-way radlo. (Copyright, 1933, by Consolidated Press.) ATHLONE ON AIR 60,000-Watt Power for New Irish Outlet.

BY MARTIN CODEL. HOSE hackneyed assurances that “television is just around the corner” have more to them these days than the fubuc may be wont to belleve in view of the many false starts of the last few years. The unusually deep secretive- ness of the television experimenters, coincident with the movement of most of the major researchers away from the old visual wave lengths to the privileged view the latest products of certain tele- vision laboratories are more highly optimistic today than they ever were about the imminence of radio pictures comparable to home movies. The shroud of secrecy that surrounds these visual workshops continues impenetra- ble, but known developments of recent months lend reason to the belief in uarters that television will on & modest scale at least, certain barriers are over- come. Obstacles Removed. No one can foretell when, but cer- tain it is that tremendous progress has been made lately in overcoming techni- cal obstacles. Chief of the remaining | barriers to popular television appears to be the economic situation. It is generally conceded that the public ac- ceptance of television, even if per- fected, is a rather hopeless expecta- tion h\mfll purchasing power returns. bought in 1929, despite the low cost of sets and tubes at present. That television equipment will by no Tadhte, gocs. Ml Wimout_ saying ! radios, goes out saying when it is ted out that the cat- hode ray tul needed for visual re- ceivers of the cathode type today cost about $45 each and have a life of only 1,000 hours. ‘The greatest technical obstacle to television was the shortage of wave lengths. This is no longer in the way, for the ultra-short wave lengths offer | almost unlimited “space” in the ether for the transmission of radio images. Today about half of the television ex- periments authorized by the Federal Radio Commission are being conducted on these high frequencies. The move- ment away from the old bands of inter- mediate wave lengths has been going on quietly and unobtrusively but never- theless significantly. Lack of Ballyhoo. ‘The reasons for the lack of bally- hoo about television these days are several. For one thing, the major laboratories are seeking to build up patent structures more impregnable | { than the old radio patent structure | that led to so much litigation. For another thing, these major experi- menters are earnestly trying to pro- | tect the public against false expecta- | tions and the consequent outcroppings | of stock promotion schemes, for it is | a fact that few of the researchers are 5 by public money. Still more to the point is the fact that there are few, if any, amateurs or tinkerers equipped today to “look in” | on the ultra-short wave visual trans- | missions because the television receivers they bought or made are not calibrated to tune in the ultra-shorts. Where.s’ | there is calculated to be anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 television “lookers in” | in the United States equipped to re- ceive the old intermediate frequencies, | there are probably not a dozen out- | side the esoteric circles of the labora- | tories that can receive ultra-short wave | transmissions. | TUNE IN jwould be clashes. LTHOUGH Ed Wynn came to Washington last week primarily to discuss plans for his new independent radio network, he took advantage of the oEport\micy to declaim his philosophy of peace in an atmos- phere where peace talk and dis- armament are predominant. Jokes and laughter, according to Wynn, can settle all our inter- national problems simply and amicably. Instead of sending grave, bearded gentlemen to in- ternational conferences, he said he would have each government send their best comics. “For example,” Wynn told a group of radio writers, “suppose a controversy developed between the United States and England over an embargo on seeds. We | would send a bunch of diplomats in black coats and full of belliger- ence to the conference. And Eng- land would do the same. There So0-0-0 you might have war. “Now here’s the way I would do it. I would send Will Rogers, George Ade, and for want of a better man, Ed Wynn. England could send men like George Ber- nard Shaw, P. G. Wodehouse and Gilbert Chesterton. On the way over the American delegation would get drunk, and before it got started, it would be full of | jokes and good spirit, and would soon have the whole matter ettled with a smile. “I believe that laughs and good | humor will lift America out of the depression. President Roose- velt smiles and people like it. he cried, he would be terrible.” * X X X ’I’HE smiling informality of the Roosevelts continues to charm radio officials in Washington. In radio, as in other things, the Roosevelts insist on breaking recedents. One of the most firm- y established radio precedents was broken last week by Mrs. Roosevelt. Instead of broadcasting direct from the White House, as is cus- tomary, Mrs. Roosevelt appeared for a scheduled talk over N. B. C. at the WRC studios in the Na- | tional Press Building. She came unaccompanied, with neither secretary nor secret service men at her side, and was introduced to the radio audience by Dr. Louise Stanley, chief of the Bureau of Home Economics of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. Mrs. Roosevelt had been offered a hook-up from the White House but declined, saying she could | just as easily come to the studios. It was the first such visit of the First Lady of the Land on record. ‘When Mr. Roosevelt's son James | broadcast over Columbia a few night earlier he, too, went to the studios in the Shoreham Building. It is needless to say that more gopular folk with the radio people ave never resided in the White House. * X x ¥ AUGURATION of the Ed Wynn network, last scheduled for April 10, is now likely to be de- ferred until some time next month, according to informal word from headquarters of the newly organized Amalgamated Broadcasting System, Inc., headed by the famous comic of the stage and air. Work is going forward on seven new studios in New York, but there is no chance of opening prior to early May. Five small stations in the East It | are said to have been aligned as a “test group” of stations. . Wynn has promised these sta- test program pe- g which he can dete: mine the tenlblug of his vent: and decide whether to with his scheme for a Nation- wide chain competitive with the National Broadcasting Co. and the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem. He claims to have more than 100 stations in all parts of the country lined up as possible later outlets for this network, on which advertising would be ilmited to 30 words at the beginning and end of each program. i * % x % AT 53, B.

M. H. Aylesworth, president of N. B.C., said that “in view of the more opti- mistic outlock for business it will not be necessary to call on the people gen- erally for financial support for the series of 1933 and 1934. Several promi- nent foundations and prominent public spirited people have offered to lend financial aid if it should become neces- sary. I sincerely hope it will not be necessary to call for financial support. In any event the series will be presented for the 1933-1934 season.” o ACADEMY BROADCAST Annapolis Program to Be Heard Over Columbia.

The broadcast in the past has been considered one of the most colorful of the year. with the microphones picking up the cheering of the midshipmen and with its description of the time-honored “hat-tossing” climax. Urges Operatic Station. A suggestion that a powerful broad- casting station be erected in Central | Europe to specialize only in operatic | performances has been made by Dr. | Adolf Erdos of Vienna. This is in line | with current proposals in the European | press that various radio stations special- |ize in particular types of programs so that lovers of opera, symphonies, jazz, etc., could always tune in what they like most.
