Take the cases of the quintette of army amphiblans assigned to make the “good relations flight" to Latin America. They are christened the “New York,"” St. Louis,” “San Fran- cisco,” ““San Antonio” and *'Detroit,” in recognition of what thesd five citles are doing in commercial avia- tlon. But behind the selection of those names stands a picture of offi- cial "Washington rolling its head on sleepless pillows for many nights before the selection was made. Had to Be Diplomatic Names of international or national heroes of Latin America first were given consideration. But since each country has a different acknowledg- ed hero, it would be difficult to se- lact five without offending -the coun- tries not represented Famous early discoverers also were on the list, but again the ques tion resolved itself of possible reglonal objections. Then the ships of Columbus were suggested but some historians show there were three iff the discoverer's fleet, and | fiva names were needed. Names of rivérs were advanced. Again objections, on account of co fusion that might arise in the trans- mission of dispatches, should, for example the “Parana” crash into the “La Plata.” Emblem Also Bothered Nor was the selection - of names the only problem. Choice of an em- blem for the planes appeared to have possible international repercussions. The first emblem submitted had at the upper right edge the American Tagle, bearing an olive branch. But to certain officials there were things that might be misinierpreted. The eagle was too large. He was placed higher than the South American continent. What was more, flying towards it and possibly some one might think the, old bird was grin- ning or even wogse, smirking. So, the apparent trite yet practi- cal names of American cities were adopted for the ships, and their em- blem became a conventional one showing a winged circle enclosin th. North and South American con- tinents. Through the Static ithe bonny Laddie: evening A bonny evening for laddies, but the Bonny weren't on thé air last you'll have to wait until Friday Suec ully eluding the bombard- ment of missiles invited by that re- mark, we turn to the more s work of the day, the review of radi What thought that word radio con- jures! Oh, what dark, dcadly thoughts. Back to the first subject. There was no static last evening and there was no buzz after 6:45 o'clock. 1p until that time the racket was rather awful. Stations had a ten- dency to imitate the volume of WTIC and WBZ, and we didn't try to discourage 'em. PRI “Broadcasting Brambles,” a talk by J. Clayton Randail, radio en- gineer of WTIC, from that station early last evening, proved to be one of the most interesting lectures we have heard in some time. Mr. Ran- dall took us through the operating rToom of the station, explaining th meaning of various terms and telling us all about the uses of the many ipstrumgnts and picces of apparatus we cante across. He explained method of taking programs from WCAC at Storrs, and the method of teeding program to the C. A. C. sta- tion. He told us how “the station keeps to its wavelength, and he also apoke about the wave itself. A ver. interesting discussion, told in a de lightfully informal manner. Mr. Randall sounded as if he were falk- ing to some of his friends in his own home. There was no blah-blah about §t, just plain facts. We might also say that Mr. Randall has a gre Dec. 14 (P—Names | the | cerned. Said Shiners obliged with a program of old time square dance, old songs, etc., etc., cte. “Mr. Doo- ley” and “The Only Girl® were among the numbers offered vocally. . oe e Now, listen to this., DX at 8:20 o'clock. You probably won't believe all this, but it's the truth. The D. T's will be at it again. But, at any rate, at about 8:20 o'clock we pulled in a flock of talk, as the old saying goes. The station came through, some- times falrly loud and at other times | not so loud, even going so far as to | die away altogeher. We edged up to the loud speaker and listened tense- ly as the announcer got ready to give the call letters. The station faded and we had a hard job getting the letters, “K—G+—W" was the way our ears interpreted the exer- | tions of nhis vocal cords. We were clated, oh, highly elated. We looked in the book and found that KGW is located in Portland, Oregon. We | didn't mention that the fellow who was talking before the 'call letters ’weru given gave a little spiel on the | beauties of California. He was talk- ing about wages in California in | 1849, as contrasted withLose today. Imagine it, Portland, Oregon, at 8:20 [o'clock. Well, ater the fellow fin- ished and the call letters were given music started up and we decided that we'd be. perfectly sure of the i letters. We herded other giembers of Ithe family into the room s6 we'd have some proof that we brought in the coast so carly in the evening. | The music stopped and the atation ame in with a roar and the an- ouncer said “THIS IS WKBW, {BUFFALO, N. Y." —They're still ighing down at our house. v s e CHIC, Toronto, didn't act so well, | it seemed. This station faded in and out, giving us a sort of weakminded musical, program, as a Tesult. It the !wave had been steady we might have {had an Intgresting experience, since a symphony orchestra was perform- ing. But fading did its worst. PPN WAHG, Richmond Mill, very loud, offered the Fireside Boys in a pro- |gram of songs. These youngsters have a pleasing manner of deliv- ery and they make the most of every number they get liold of. They sang “In A Li Band Played On” and {and Roses.” “Moonlight P While the Aleppo Drum corps was | presenting a program from WBZ, | the station acted up somthing fierce. There seemed to be another station n the offing, which at times ab- |sconded with WBZ's wave, causing it to flicker, waver, jiggle and hop. It wasn't at all nicc. After the drum corps program had been concluded, WBZ seemed to go back to normal. We heard part of the light opera program at KDKA, which station was taking more than its share of the dial spacing. Selections - from “High Jinks" and thes “Follies of 1920" were anieng the groups pre- ented. « oo It was a great night for mixups. Every station spread out and on the low waves the scheeches and howls were blood-curdling. We kept away from there, since the effect was that of a wholesale murder. eiialie WCX, Detroit, and York, also ran. . e WJZ, New In answer to a flock of requosts to | present serially, so fo speak, the sta- | tions we have had, so that fans can compare their achicvements with ours, we'll start today.
