- ’ THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, C., SEPTEMBER 22, 1935—PART FOUR. ANNUAL AWARDS FOR BROADCASTERS ARE PLANNED Foundation Would Give Prizes on L2 Merit Basis Counterpart of Pulitzer Grants in Fields of Journalism, Literature and Theater Shaping for Radio Industry. By the Radio Editor. RADIO counterpart of the Pulitzer awards in the journalistic, literary and theatrical fields is in the making In the belief that broadcasting has reached the stage in its de- velopment warranting annual recognition for conspicuous examples of public, program, artistic and other services, a definite project has been outlined in the industry. Tentatively for Program Awards, have been committed and an organiz- ing committee of 10 leaders in broad- casting and radio manufacturing has been named. President Leo J. Fitzpatrick of the National Association of Broadcasters has named a committee to represent the broadcasting industry in the formulation of the definite project It comprises Lambdin Kay, veteran manager of Station WSB, Atlanta, chairman; M. H. Aylesworth, president of N. B. C.; William S. Paley, presi- dent of C. B. S.;: Burridge D. Butler of Chicago, publisher of the farm weekly, Prairic Farmer, and operator of Station WLS, Chicago, and Mr. Kirkpatrick, who is director of WJR, Detroit. To collaborate with the Broadcast- ing Committee the Radio Manufac- turers’ Association, representing lead- ing radio set and equipment manu- facturers, has also named a commit- tee of five, headed by Powel Crosley, president of the Crosley Radio Corp., which owns and operates Station WLW, Cincinnati. Other members of this committee are Leslie F. Muter, Muter Co., Chicago; E.'F. McDonald, Jr., Zenita Radio Corp., Chicago; funds already called the Radio Industry Foundation “Technically, both the transmitting and receiving equipment is adequately satisfactory to introduce this service ‘at this time, but the unknown factors | are program material and program presentation. Will the novelty of this | new art be sustained after the novelty has worn off? We in the United States can learn many valuable les- sons which may later save us many dollars by patiently watching the de- velopment of the British television picture.” 'WO of American radio's greatest achievements, the stratosphere | broadcasts from the Army-National Geographic Society balloon and the ‘Byrd broadeasts from Little America, | have won prize recognition, and one !nf them is to be attempted again. | National Broadcasting Co. has an- | nounced that the next stratosphere | flight attempt, scheduled for some | time in October, will again be broad- cast, while Columbia announces the award of its distinguished service | medal for contributions to radio to | Admiral Byrd. | | N. B. C. is dispatching new equip- George A. Scoville, Stromberg-Carlson | ment, with Robert M. Morris as head Telephone Manufacturing Co., Roch- | eingineer, to Rapid City, S. Dak., to ester, N.

GEDDES of Washington, | big balloon, but no injuries to its occu- executive vice president of the Manufacturers’ Association, has an- nounced that his organization adopted a resolution indorsing the annual awards plan and is prepared to con- tribute between $5.000 and $20.000 for them. The Broadcasters’ Association, at its last annual convention, adopted & resolution favoring the plan. Just what the awards will be will| depend upon the conclusions reached by the Joint Committee, which plans a meeting in the near future. Dis- cussion, however, has centered around awards for outstanding examples of public service rendered by an indz- pendent broadcasting station, by a radio network. by a radio advertiser, by a program builder, by an an- nouncer and by an engineer. Awards also are to be considered for radio artists and performers, but these, in a measure, are cared for in other broadcasting endowments. Chairman Kay of the Broadcasting Committee, who first proposed the foundation. said he had in mind a project which would give recognition to the cultural and public service side of radio. Broaaly, he said, awards might be made to all classes of sta- tions for all types ot service and performance, and to individuals ex- celling in their particular pursuits. “RY THIS time next year, we are hoping that television will be in full swing. I do not think it will be long now before every wireless set will be equipped with a television screen. and vision will be as usual as speech s today.” Thus John Logie Baird, the guiding genius of the British Baird television system, comments on the British post- master general's recent statement an- nouncing definitely that the British Broadcasting Corp. has been author- ized to arrange for complete installa- tions of both Baird and Marconi tele- vision broadcasting systems. The postmaster general asserted it would take six months to build and install the apparatus, which means that first test transmissions from the tall Alex- | andra Palace in London may be ex- pected about next March. So it now appears certain that Eng- land will have its public television be- fore it is introduced in the United Btates, where several great labora- tories are still at work on it and where at least one of them (Radio Corp. of America), with a minimum of fanfare, Is preparing to build its own initial transmitting station near Philadelphia for test operation next Spring. The television subject simply won't down in the public prints of either the United States or England for the good and sufficient reason that news- | paper and other observers who have seen demonstrations of visual broad- casting have been satisfled that it is technically feasible and a=ceptable. It remains for the London public first. and then the American public, to give the final word as to its acceptability. N THE meantime, the leaders of the American radio industry, who have vepeatedly averred that British tele- vision is not a bit further advanced than American, are pursuing a policy of watchful waiting. They, too, are convinced that television is practical technically, but they are fearful of the enormous burden of cost involved in introducing an entirely new trans- mission system to parallel the existing audible broadcasting system of the United States. They are apprehensive, too, of the effect television will have on the cur- rently rising American market for ordinary radios. And in this country television has not received any official stamp of authority to go ahead as in England, where the developers of tele- vision apparatus are private concerns, but where the big broadcasting com- pany, which will introduce and operate it, is a government monopoly. One of the most enthusiastic ob- gervers of British television develop- ments is Andrew W. Cruse, chief of the Department of Commerce Elec- trical Equipment Divisic~, who spent & whole month this Summer studying television in England, France and Germany. Cruse also has seen the | American laboratory developments. He is convinced that television is a tech- nical reality, but he believes the prob- lems of cost and program technique are so great that the American in- dustry is pursuing the better part of discretion in its policy of watchful waiting. In my opinion,” said Cruse, “after having seen both the Baird and Elec- tric and Music Industries (Marconi) systems in operation, I feel that the future of British television depends entirely upon the ability of the Brit- i.h Broadcasting Corp, to present pro- grams which will be enthusiastically received by the public. » | pants or damage to its radio equip- | ment. It will be recalled that the | Army officers in the gondola during the first flight broadcast their impres- | sions upon ascending and during the | torced descent. The feat earned for N. B. C. one of the “radio journalism” awards of the Atlantic City Press Club last year. C. B. S. is honoring Byrd by making him the sixth to get its medal, pre- nting it during a broadcast on its etwork the night of September 25. The others thus honored were Sir John Reith, director of the British Broadcasting Corp.; Col. Charles A. | Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Leopold | Stokowski and Nino Martini. e F. H. A. Radio Rules. JF YOU were figuring on having Uncle Sam {nance that new radio of yours under the Federal Housing Administration procedure, you had better forget about it. Of course, if you decide to “build in” your radio as a part of the house itself, then the | Treasury will back you. After a couple of weeks of argument with the Radio Manufacturers’ Associ- ation, the F. H. A. has decided that under the law it cannot finance radio sets, unless they are built-in. Radios have been classed as “movables” and | as such there would not be sufficient assurance to the Government that it would be reimbursed on such loans. Bond Geddes of Washington, gen- | : eral manager of the association, ap- | pealed to Arthur Walsh, deputy ad- ministrator of F. H. A, for a favor- able ruling on sets of the more expen- sive type, costing $75 or more. He held they should not be declared “mov- ables” any more than are electric re- | frigerators and washing machines, which have F. H. A. finance privileges. | But, replied Mr. Walsh, the amuse- | ment or the educational feature in respect to radios does not bring them into the category of appliances that have a direct relation to housing, like | refrigerators, heating plants and wash- | ing machines. Engineers to Elect. ‘HONOR to the inventive genius of the radio fraternity appears to be the motive behind the nominations for | officers of the Institute of Radio En- | gineers for 1936. Ballots have been | mailed to I. R. E. members-during the | last week and will be counted shortly | before November 1. Heading the nom- | inations are two outstanding inven- tors—Dr. Frederick A. Kolster and Prof. 1. A. Hazeltine, who are running for the presidency to succeed Stuart | Ballantine, also a noted radio inventor. For vice president, an honorary post which always goes to a distinguished foreign radio scientist, the I. R. E. has nominated Valdemar Poulsen of Den- mark and K. W. Wagner of Germany, who are also inventors. Three direc- tors are to be selected from the fol- lowing six nominees: . H. Armstrong, Columbia University; W. R. G. Baker, R. C. A. Victor Co.; H. H. Beverage, | R. C. A. Communications, Inc.; V. | M. Graham, Stromberg-Carlson Co.; George Lewis, Arcurus Radio Tube Co., and A. F. Van Dyke, Radio Corp. of America. o Enters Television Field. | AN ENTIRELY new concern propos- | ing to enter the television field, but asking that the details of its technical data be kept secret, flled application with the Federal Communications to erect an ultra-short-wave visual broadcasting station capable of trans- mitting on the 42,000-56,000 and 60,- 000-86,000 kilocycle bands with 1,000 | 5| and 2,000 watts. Heading the proposed enterprise are Oliver C. Harriman of 515 Madison avenue, New York, and Ralph Clark, described as the designer and opera- tor of the former broadcasting sta- tion, WCN, of Clark University, ‘Worcester, Mass. It is proposed to | erect the station at 795 Fifth avenue, | New York, and the application claims assets of $200,000 to back the project. ———p Finalists to Be Chosen.

He wires: » “Dear Pete. Since trying out ‘I You Want to Make Pappy Happy.’ I'm through with mammy songs. Signed, Al Jolson.” “r‘ITH the fond hope that I've in- curred the curses of some of my best-loved contemporaries. I'll leave ft at that and see if there isn't something available in the way of radio com- ment that might interest listeners. I do think it is interesting that Cor- nelia Otis Skinner is developing &n idea for radio that ought to be one of next year's best programs. It's such a good idea that there is a sponsor waiting to put it on the aire but Miss Skinner says “no” because she wants to use at least six months in polishing the material . . .

Coughlin to Broadcast. ’I‘HOL‘GH the voice of Huey Long has been stilled by an assassin's bullet. his rival for provocative polit- ical utterances over the American ra- dio will be back on the air this Winter in an even bigger Father Charles E. Coughlin, the Detroit radio priest, whose recent visit with Presi- dent Roosevelt marked his reappear- |ance after a Summer of retirement, | is now making preparations to line up a wider network for his Sunday after- | noon broadcasts. They will be re- sumed November 3. After both of the major networks had declined to carry the Coughlin broadcasts either on a commercial or sustaining basis, the Detroit priest or- ganized his own independent hook-up of about 30 stations extending as far west as St. Louis. This year he plans to utilize the same network, but is also trying to extend it to the Pacific Coast. His Pacific affiliates have not yet been announced, however. Father Coughlin’s contracts for sta- tion time, under which he pays them full rates for the Sunday afternoon hour, call for a series of 26 Sunday broadcasts. He has reserved an op- tion for 52 weeks, however, with the idea that he will probably remain on the air throughout the Summer and | Fall of 1936, when the political party conventions and elections are held.
