MANNING (Washington Correspondent, N. B. Herald) ‘Washington, D. C., Oct. 27—The federal radio commission’s realloca- tion order, compelling sweeping | changes in the alignment of all| broadcasting stations on November 11, is certain to become the subject of bitter debate in congress during the coming session. Millions of radio listeners and more than a score of broadcasters have already registered their pro- tests against the reallocation. Sena- tors and congressmen, whose consti- tuents foresee a curtailment of radio service, have joined in the protest and a large number of them have threatened to place the whole mat- ter before congress. The reallocation was rendered mandatory by the Davis amendment enacted last spring to the 1927 radio law. The federal radio commission spent four months consulting the best radio engineering authority and studying the best methods of com. plying with the new law. Finally, after many disugreements upon im- portant details, a plan was evolved and incorporated in an order of the commission on September 10, making a complete reallocation, effective No. vember 11. It was apparent that several of the large national stations would suffer as a result of the order. Congress had in mind setting aside 25 clear channels for these powerful stations but the commission finally agreed upon 40. Engineers, however, held the view that at least 50 clear chan- nels should be set aside to accommo- date the large stations deserving favorable waves. East Harshly Treated While other parts of the country, particularly the middle west, are destined to lose the full service of a number of popular stations, that part of the east comprising the first zone will suffer most. The first zone includes all New England, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and | Delaware. The first zone was allocated eight of the 40 clear channels and New the method of computing facilities, was entitled to | four of these. Two of these were as- |signed to WHAM, Rochester, and WABC, New York, independent sta- tions, and two others to WJZ, New York, and WEAF, New York, so- called “trust” stations. There was no | clear channel available for WGY, | the General Electric company’s pow. erful Schenectady station, so this station was ordered to share with | KGO, Oakland, Callf., a wave assign- | ed to the fifth zone, limited in oper- | ation’ during the night to such time as was not used by’ the Pacific coast station on the same wave. WGY Fans Protest This gave rise to a stormy protest which may land in the courts be- | fore the matter is settled. Thousands upon thousands of letters, telegrams and petitions have poured into the commission protesting the curtail. ment of WGY's time. Listeners in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire have registered eral months to give congress an op- portunity to act. The commission, on the other hand, has no present inten. tion of the order. The commission feels it has done its best under the circumstances both from the viewpoint of the broadcaster and the listening public. It feels that it has followed the letter of the law. Much of the dissatisfaction could be eliminated by increasing the pum-. ber of clear channels. Commissien- er O. H. Caldwell advecated sdtting aside 60 or at least 50 clear ®han- nels when the reallocation was worked out but was compelled to acquiesce in the wishes of his fel- low commissioners. Avalanche of Bills Expected ‘What congress will do about the situation cannot be predicted at this |time. Many bills will be introduced !and Chairman White of the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries, will undoubtedly be asked to hold hearings on them. Chairman { White, author of the original radio |act, intends to give the whole matter hh careful study after the general election. Two cases, questioning the validity of the radio law and the commis- sion’s interpretation of it, are now pending before the court of appegls of the District of Columbia and it is understood that other cases will be started in federal district courts in other parts of the country, Through the Static Governor 8mith will be heard to- night between § and 9 o'clock from Philadelphia over WEAF and WTIC. Following his campaign ad- dress Senator Norris will be heard in a democratic program over WABC, WICC and WNAC, The unique program arranged last Sunday by the democratic com- mittee will be repeated over WJZ Sunday evening at 9:15 with the same nationally known theatrical stars taking part. Heywood Broun, Helen Hayes, Peggy Wood, Richard Bennet and others are included in this feature, The great Yale-Army football classic will be broadcast this after- noon at 2:16 over WJZ, so all you depressed fans who failed to be lucky reciplents of tickets to the bowl can lean back comfortably and take in the play by play de- scription of the game with Graham McNamee at the microphone. At the same time WEAF, WTIC and WBZ will broadcast the Har- vard-Dartmouth game from Cam- bridge with Philips Carlin describ- ing the incidents; the Navy-Penn game will be broadcast also at the same hour through WOR. Take your pick. The staff of the NBC studios ever thinking up of a new feature to interest its wide and varied au- diences has concocted a new brand of musical programs entitle “Sym- phony in Brass.” The ensemble, un. der the direction of Harold Sang- tord will make its debut tonight at 9 o'clock over WEAF and WTIC in an usually interesting program con- sisting some of the best classical music. The program will last for one hour. Following this program a nation- ally known orchestra will- broadcast |a program of dance music listing |among the numbers a 'series of the |l1atest Broadway hits which will in- clude ucernu from . “The Three -keteen. the “Romberg Waltz Revu “The Tin Pan Parade’” ‘“Limehouse Blues” and many oth- ers. Rudolf Friml's famous -operetta “Katinka” with Jessica Dragonette and Colin O'More In the title roles will entertain you at 8 o'clock from {the studios: of the NBC through WJZ and WBZ. This is a three-act vehicle and contains many catchy melodies which no doubt will be recalled by those who had the pleasure of viewing this play. A radio version of Harriet Beech- er Stowe’'s famous | then filed an application for modi- fication of WGY’s license, which was promptly denied by the commission because it did not conform with the established rules of procedure. This was followed by a second application, coupled with a demand for a hear- ing in which the state of New York Joined. A lengthy protest against the re- allocation order as it realigns sta- tions in the first zone was filed by Attorney General Albert Ottinger, republican candidate for governor of New York state. The state believes its rights are imperiled and asks an opportunity to defend them. It is doubtful, however, if the commission will grant a hearing on WGY's second application since Louis G. Caldwell, general counsel of the commission, has already noti. fled owners of the Schenectady sta- tion that it cannot be considered as the basis for a hearing. New Jersey Waxes Wroth In New Jersey another squabble is brewing. Ten regional stations, dis- satisfied with their assignments, are contemplating concerted action to get what they are convinced they are entitled to. Already the status of WOR, Newark's popular station, has ben challenged. It has been argued before the commission that WOR should not be counted in the New Jersey quota because it broadcasts nearly all of its programs from a studio located in New York city. Under the law the station must be charged to the state in which the studio is located. If these New Jersey stations suc- ceed in having WOR transferred to New York's quota, additional facili- ties will be open to the dissatisfied stations, but New York’s already un. wieldy situation will be further com- ! plicated. There will be no room for WOR in New York without com- pelling one of the stations now as- signed to clear channel a split time with WOR. If this were attempted, another hot fight would be certain to follow. Beveral broadcasters who have ap- peared before the commission re- cently suy that the reallocation order centains s0 much “dynamite” that it prodbably will be postponed for seve ) thelr indignation at the commis- [Cabin,” the story that has outlived sion’s action. its generation, will be broadcast The General Electric company NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1928 through the same stations at 10:1§ with an experienced cast of actors handling the roles.

Dr. Eckener at this time will be heard over the air as well as his companion on his western trip and commander of our own “Los Angeles,” Commander C, E. Rosendahl. WEAF will broad- cast this feature. “Boccacio” a comic opera in three acts with music by that m: ter of light classics Franz von Bup- pe will be offered by the National Light Opera company Sunday at 10:15 over WEAF. Those to be heard in the title roles are Walter Preston, Gitla Erst, Henry Shope, Colin O'More, Harold Branch, Bet- sy Ayres, Edward Wolter,. Grace Leslie and Burke Bingham.
