U. S. Networks to Waft Coronation Wprd Picture Tolling of Big Ben at 4:15 am. First Item of International Broadcast Next Wednesday. By Chris with the British Broadcasting Corp., the three major American net- woris have been engaged for months in perfecting arrangements with respect to schedules and equipment to make possible presentation of a complete and intelligible word picture of the pageantry and splendor attendant THERE is only one radio story this week—the coronation. In co-operation upon the formal crowning of Britain's will handle the airings Wednesday in - much the same manner, with local listeners obliged to be at their loud- speakers by 4:15 am., to hear the tolling of Big Ben, first item of the day’s international broadcast program. The maze of technical details is being handled principally by British engineers who will control “cut-ins” from 58 microphones, 32 of which will be banked in Westminster Abbey for the ceremonies and the King's address. Exactly 872 miles of wire has besn strung, and B. B. C., which already | offers a television service to the Lon- don public, has set up a visual broad- casting station to bring the parade to “lookers-in.” The Abbey ceremonies, however, will not be televised, it being feared that the bulky equipment might hamper conduct of the pro- ceedings. Microphones are to be spotted near the ancient gilded coach as it leaves In the royal procession, and foreign commentators will bg permitted to break in with their observations. ‘Thereafter, the whole vivid panorama, in breadth and detail alike, goes out on the air waves translated into the words of five B. B. C. commentators, John Snagge, George Blake, Michael Standing, Howard Marshall and Thomas Woodroofe. During the coro- nation services, Rev. F. A. Iremonger, chaplain to the King and director of religion for B. B. C., will explain the rubrics. The coronation broadcast will mark the first time in history that the whole British Empire, through the magic of radio, will be able to follow the event- ful day from beginning to end. In addition to descriptions, specially placed microphones will pick up the atmosphere of the ceremonies—mar- tial music, hoofbeats, shouting of orders, cheers of the crowds, as the procession passes along the Embank- ment, through Trafalgar Square and the West End's clubland, past St. James’ Palace to Picadilly Circus and on to Constitution Hill, Within & few hours after his coro- nation, George VI will receive the homage, via radio, of British subjects all over the globe, with the new mon- arch sending back a message of greet- ing to “My beloved people.” The his- toric exchange—first occasion on which a British King and the far- flung reaches of his empire have been brought together immediately Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, W. L. Mackenzie King, prime minister of Canada; J. A. Lyons, prime minister of Australia; M. J. Savage, prime min- ister of New Zealand; Gen. J. B. N. Hertzog, prime minister of South Africa, and Dr. G. M. Huggins, prime minister of Southern Rhodesia. All other outposts of the empire will be represented, as well. ‘The achedule of B. B.

Umbrella Astronomy. F IN doubt about the relative posi- tions of the North Star and Vega, get an old umbrella and make & plane- tarium, George Hicks, announcer, ad- vised before he began a 7,000-mile journey to the South Seas, where, on June 8, he will describe the longest total eclipse of the sun in 1,200 years. Hicks thought he should know some- thing about astronomy, since he was assigned to the job of announcing the many programs to be broadcast in connection with the National Geo- graphic Society’s solar eclipse expedi- tion. So, in talking with Col. Oscar Fogg, of New York, an amateur astron- omer of the first rank, he discovered a simple method for learning the lay- out of the heavens. That is where the umbrella comes in. The inner surface of an umbrella, he found, makes an excellent model of the sky. Upon it Hicks drew the ma- Jjor stars and constellations: the North Capella and the Dipper. Having them all in their proper positions, he dropped the edge of his model over a table edge, repre- senting the horizon. Rotation of the umbrella takes the place of the earth's rotation. By comparing text books on astronomy with his planetarium ard this, in turn, with the heavens them- selves, Hicks found he was able to fix firmly in mind the position of most of the important stars and constellations.
