FLOATING RADIO STATION BROADCASTING BANNED Ship Was Off Southern California Coast Under Registry of Republic of Panama. Pormal protest by the State Depart- ment against the operation of a “float- ing” broadcasting station aboard the steamship City of Panama, off the Southern California coast, has led to the cancellation of the Panamanian registry of that vessel. Panama authorities notified the State ent that the vessel's registra- tion has been canceled because of the operation of the unlicensed or “out- Iaw” station to serve Los Angeles listen- ers. The Federal authorities at Los Angeles, in turn, were instructed to notify the ship's operators of the action and to order immediate cessation of the broadcasting, which has been go- ing on since June 2 under the guise of “testing” operations. It is understood that the American authorities are prepared to make formal protests to any other government which may register the vessel. The argument that the vessel is anchored outside the “12-mile limit” and there- fore outside the authority of the United States is held to be untenable, since the purpose of the station is to reach listeners on American territory and since it has caused serious interference with licensed stations. France to Add Station. Prance will have another super-power broadcasting station before the end of this year, when it is expected that the 120000-watt Brittany station at Thourle, near Nantes, gocs into opera- tion.

So far plans are somewhat indefinite, but the discussion centers around put- ting on the fight as a fitting climax for the close of the Jack Pearl serles on N. B. C.

Last Winter was one of the best DX seasons of record. For some reason American sta- lowners of these copyrights, to tions are picked up with far|grant licenses for broadcasting | greater consistency abroad than are foreign stations in this coun- try. The British survey disclosed that the stations in this country picked up last Winter covered a wide geographical area and were sit- uated in 25 States. The stations were of every class—locals, regi- onals and clear channel—with power ranging from 250 watts to the maximum of 50,000 watts. Stations which are seldom picked {up in this country at distances of | more than 100 miles were heard | in England by some freak of wave i propagation. European broadcasting today is in the “adolescent” stage of popu | larity that prevailed in this coun- try three or four years ago. In other words, listeners abroad still resort to long-range dial twisting as a novelty, whereas in this coun- try, chain broadcasting, which brings into almost every com- munity the same national pro- ams, has more or less ended the ad. Foreign programs, technique, quality and showmanship also are sald to lag several years behind the standards in this country. New York State, which embraces more than 50 stations, leads in English reception, with 16 stations picked up last Winter. Illinois was second with 9; Ohio and Pennsylvania were tied for third with 5 each; California, Florida, She. = Buy Before the Advance Leonard Model 531 White lacquer cubic feet food exterior, storage space, 1041 square feet shelf area.

Ricordi & Co. of Milan, | purposes. | According to Oswald F. Schuette, | president of the Radio Program Foundation, a contract for air licenses for this catalogue—total- ing more than 123,000 composi- tions—has been made with the Ricordi firm. The foundation, which was created a month ago as a non-profit co-operative or- ganization of the members of the National Association of Broad- casters, will issue sub-licenses to the individual stations. The announcement that this | world-famous music is now avail- | able for broadcasting marks an epoch in radio and makes the adio Program Foundation an important factor in the musical world. It is, at the same time, a decisive victory for the broad- casters in their copyright conflict with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Pub- lishers. The Ricordl catalogue has al- ways been regarded as one of the greatest musical catalogues in the world. During the 125 years of its existence, the Ricordi firm has ac- quired, in the field of opera alone, | works of such great operatic com- posers as Beethoven, Bellini, Bizet, Boito, Casavola, Catalani, Cima- rosa, Donaudy, Donizetti, Flotow, Franchetti, Glinka, Gluck, Gold- mark, Gomes, Gounod, Halevy, Herold, Malipiero, Marinuzzi, Mas- HUB ‘White lac- Leonard Model 641 524 White cubic feet food 13.25 square feet lacquer exterior, 6.37 storage space, shelf area.
