Naval Reserve Naval Reservists faced a brighter Summer from a training standpoint when word was received not only that the annual cruises were in prospect, but there prcbabM would be 24 drills during the next fiscal year. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Hen- ry Latrobe Roosevelt announced dur- ing the week that the Navy Depart- ment. hoped to obtain from the budget sufficient funds to hold the annual cruises and for 24 drills. This an- nouncement was in line with an un- derstanding that has prevailed in the Reserve since the orders were suspending the sea cruising schedules and the drills that Guard was allowed money for encamp- then the Reservists would re- ceive sufficient funds for similar train- ing. Since the made ! De- sistant Secretary the Navy have bee : rve _head in the Washington Navy Yard instru ing whe cfficers to make all necessar preparations for the cruises, tenta- scheduled to begin on July 15. No details have been received as to V] dates the cruises will be held. Some doubt was expressed as to whether the July 15 date applied to the local Reservists particularly, as the message was sent to the commandants of all naval districts. The destroyer Hamilton, the vessel! of the Atlantic Training Squadron assigned to this area. now is in the vicinity of Norfolk, and it is probable that orders will be issued to her in a short time telling when to pick up the local Reservists. It has been the prac- | tice in the past to take aboard the ship on each cruise a division of the local battalion and one frem the Baltimore Md.. Reserves. This requires thres sep- arate cruises to be made by the ship. There appeared to be a feeling that this practice would be carried out this year. There is one thing that is known. nd that is only that Fleet Reservists will be taken on the training cruises. and no substitution will be allowed of volunteers. In the past it has been the practice to fill vacancies among the Fleet Reservists by men of the vol-| unteer group who desired to take train- ing. These latter are not required to take annual training cruises, but the department always receives many re- quests from this group. The order barring substitution of volunteers for absentee Fleet Reservists. it is believed. | will prevent members of the local com- munication reserves from taking any cruises this vear. It also was pointed cut that voluntary aviat.on Reservists would also b2 prevented from taking | eru this year with pay. | The order directing the local Reserve { officers to make preparations for the cruises came as a distinct surprise, al- though, following the order suspending the cruises and drills, they took some hope out of the fact that the Army was going right ahead making prepa- | rations for the annual training en- campments. Preparations had been made to get the best training possible by fixing up the armory with much \ ship paraphernalia and also prepara- tions for getting the most out of the launch which has been assigned here for training purposes As soon as tne Navy Department | completes the training cruise schedules and the dates are announced the local | Reservists will be instructed to make i plans for time off from their civilian jobs in order to participate in these cruises. In view of the fact that the cruises were suspended last year on account of the need for governmental economy, it is expected that there will be nearly a 100 per cent attendance on_the cruises. Except for short periods when the | destroyer Hamilton was here for sev- eral wecks the local Reservists have Meetings This Week.

He says that the boat has been equipped with a midget radio re- ceiver which is mounted in the crew’s: quarters.

TO PROSECUTE | 60 TEXAS STATIONS | Defiance of Government Based on Assertion Tiey Are Staying Within State. | | Uncle Sam will take vigorous steps to wipe out some 60 “outlaw™ broad casting stations in Texas, which have formed an association openly to resist the Federal Government on the ground that they are subject only to State regulation. A special session of the grand jury has been requested at Lubbock, Texas, before the Federal District Court to prosecute the first dozen cases. The Federal Radio Commissicn is collabo- rating with the Department of Jus- tice in ndling the cases, since they will serve as a test for other “boot- leg” stations. All told. it is estimated that som~ 150 illegal broadcasting sta- ticns ore under investigation in this country. The Federal radio law prescribes that radio. 2s interstate commerce, is sub- ject only to Federal regulation. All stations, whatever their character, must mission, as the licensing body set up by Congress. Penalties of five years impriscnment, $5,000 fine, or both, are and several convictions have been pro- cured during the last three years. Most of the unlicensed Texas stations have joined a group which they call the Texas Independent Radio Advertis- ing Associaticn. This organization an- nrounced that as long as the stations, | which are of low power, do only intra- state broadcasting they are violating iro laws or regulations and are within i their rights. DOUBLE CALL LETTERS |Btations Conforming With Requests of Commission to Hyphenated Calls. Double sets of call letters for single broadcasting stations are slowly but Drop rolls. | Canadian Radio Commission, which | recently ruled out all “phantom” calls, |the Federal Radio Commission has asked all stations employing the | hyphenated calls to drop ore or the jother of them. Stations for the most part are willingly complying. ‘Thus during the last month a dozen dual call letters were cut ou.. notably KYW-KFKX. Chicago, which is now simply KYW; WGN-WLIB, Chicago, now WGN: WBBM-WJBT. Chicago, now WBBM; WENR-WBCN, Chicago, now WENR; WHEC-WABO, Rochester, WHEC: WLB-WGMS, Minneap- now WLB; WNAC-WBIS, Boston, WNAC; WORC-WEPS, Worcester, .. now WORC; WPRO-WPAW, Providence, now WPRO. For the most part. few stations ever used the second set of call letters, which were usually obtained when the stations acquired other local outlets whose identities they did not care to |lose entirely. The commission wants the dual calls out altogether, but chose to ask the stations to drop them vol- untarily rather than pass a regulation lm'derh-ng them out. i | Community Centers OQutstanding among events spcnsored by the Community Center Department this week will be the fourth Summer festival at the Sylvan Theater, near the Washington Mcnument, Thursday eve- ning, when, in co-operation with the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, a joint concert will be given by the United States Navy Band and the Lisa Gardiner Dancers of Washington. The band will open the festival with a program especially arranged for this occasion and will also accompany the dancers in several of their most impor- tant numbers, featuring ballet dances from “Prince Igor,” by Borodin, to be danced by the ensemble, and a succes- sion of solo and duo numbers. Mrs. Edith H. Hunter, pianist, will accom- pany many of the dances on the pro- gram. The Community Center Department has placed tickets for chairs at the Syl- van Theater on public sale at 25 cents each at the A. A. A.. the Willard Hotel and the Washington Hotel, with the understanding that in case of a post- pened performance, due to inclemen: weather, tickets will be good for the performance when given. Plans are being made for the opening of six centers throughout the city on July 5 for the Summer months. door recreation will be stressed by the department at these centers, and when- ever possible will be free to the public. open Tuesday and Friday evenings dur- ing July and August. On these evenings there will be free band concerts, eom- munity singing. demonstrations by com- | munity groups and moving pictures at | ! the stadium of McKinley High School Other activities at this center will include drama instruction for adults and young people and social dancing each Friday evening. also rhythm and | tap dancing and drama instruction for children in the mornings. Central High School swimming pool will open July 5. Every afternoon and evening except Saturday and Sunday the pool will be open from 1 to 4:30 o'clock. The pool will also be open dur- ing the evening hours on the same week days. The stadium and tennis courts will be open.

Not that the ult radi ceivers a n ac r from 1 | r o re- ries is well | knegm insiders. Indeed. certain | leaders of the ing ry aver that a form ! of television probably would be ready | for the market today if it were not | for_general business conditions { Those who have scen the experi- mental television broadcasts. partic larly on the newly harnessed ultra- short waves that allow for more wave lengths and better delineated repro- ductions of moving images, insist that television today is just about at the same stage that crystal radio reception was about a dozen years ago. They predict a faster development and ac- ceptance of television than of sound broadcasting, once it emerges from the laboratory. To the credit of the leading tele- vision experimenters it should be added that they upon pursuing their researches quictly and in such a way as not to arouse false expectations for the immediate future. Government radio autherities. in the meantime, have re- peatedly warned the public against “wildcat” speculation in television stocks, which are still being offered in some parts of the country by promoters who have not even been licensed by the Federal Radio Commission to ex- periment with television wave lengths. Industry Fairly Stable. If the manufacturing of radio sets and tubes is a sadly depressed indus- try, it is at least a relatively stable one today. The radio makers are hoping. along with nearly all other inaustrialists, for the business recovery that will bring greater purchasing power to the masses. In the mean- time they have {ound a fair market in replacement sets and tubes. extra small cets for the home and automobile ra- dios. Oddly enough. almost as many ra- | dios are being sold today as were sold jduring the boem years which made radio an $850.000,000 business in 1929, employing more than 300,000 workers in hundreds oif planis throughout the country. Interest in broadcast Tecep- tion apparently is not on the wane. But the demand !s not for quelity | cepticn, albeit the techui.al cu> broadcasting performances hoc acnieved a high state. Small Sets Popuiar. far the prepen of pur- g of radio ses is coacentrated e cmall models, veriow: in the trade as midgets. pewee mode.: Tully 55 per cent of the sets o sold fetch the re- { tailer less than $50; some sell as low as $10. Somstim:s these cheap sets replace high-priced but obsolete cabi- net models bought in the days when people had money to spend. Hundreds of thousands are being bought as aux- ilfary sets for the bed room or the - spare room. It is estimated in the trade that fully 3,000,000 radios will be sold this year. But no ore ventures to assert that the tiny sets can be accepted as permanent fixtures. POLICING WAVE LENGTHS MADE EASIER FOR U. S. High precision short wave radio re- ceiving sets, capable of tuning in all wave lengths from 1,500 to 20,000 kilo- cycles (200 to 1.5 meters). have been ordered by the Federal Radio Com- mission to be employed for policing the wave lengths on which ship, coastal, aviation, amateur, television, police and various other types of radio stations operate. Ten of the instruments have been ordered for delivery by July 1, one each to be used at the official monitoring stations at Boston, Baltimore, Atlanta, | Portland, Oreg.; San Pedro, Calif.; San Francisco and Grand Island. Nebr. One will be used at Washington headquarters and two will be held as spares. Replacing obsolete equipment that re- quired complicated multiple tuning methods, the new instruments can tune in a particular wave length by the simple twist of a single dial. The commission’s engineers and field men propose to use them to detect violations of regulations, including possibly the further detection of radio stations used by rum runners for signaling between land and shore. The commission re- cently also ordered 11 new precision broadcast receivers and four recording instruments to check broadcasting sta- tion operation and to gather evidence about the program content of stations against which complaints have been lodged.
