SUNDAY RADIO BIG FAGTOR IN THE CAMPAIG Hoover Keeps in Touch Its Activities Washington, Oct. 3.—(M—Just as chafts and maps visualised the trends of world commerce for Hers bert Hoover as commerce secretary, they keep him in touch with the progress of the campaign as presi- dential nominee. The charting of radio-hookups is an illustration. The nomines has available a map of the ecountry showing all the broadcasting sta- tions used for every major address of the campaign, not only his own, but those of his running mate, Sen- ator Curtis; Senator Borah, and & dozen others. From these, he can at a glance visualize the section of the country and the audience reach- ed by each speaker. Paul Gascoigne, head of the radie division of the national eommittes, explains that the radio organization of the campaign has been worked out with the same detall as any big engineering problem. Each of the 763 registered broad- casting stations in the country ie listed on the charts and more than 200 of them are used every day by the committee, either for local broadcasting or on big hook-ups. The tiMes they are in use, with their scope and the probable num. ber of people they reach is available for Mr. Hoover at all times, Pinned Charts Big charts with blue and red pins for important broadcasting station little charts with overlapping greem and orange circles, denoting the range Of each station, show vividly the transmission of each speaker's voice in the campaign. “The broadcasting from different stations overlaps a good deal, Gascoigne say: because the circles show the guaranteed reception, and each station can wusually be heard much farther. “In some thickly populated sec- tions in the east and middlewest there is 80 much overtapping that we | reach what we eall the saturation point, and the air is so full of the program that even the little crystal sets can receive it easily.” ACCUSE EX-PRESIDENT Buenos Aires, Oct. 8 (® — Dis- patches from Asuncion say that for- mer President Schaerer of Para- guay has been accused of being the leader of a frustrated revolutionary plot.
