PREDICTS RADIO
IN EVERY i. s.
HOUSEHOLD
Inspector Expects Standard
ization Of Equipment to
Lessen Interference.
By InternataonaI Nsws Service.

Ten million radio receiving
stations Will DO IN service in the
United States by 1880.
This prediction, was made today
by Government officials connected
with the intepdepartmental radio
control board, considering means Of
reducing wireless interference.
"A receiving set in every home"
was the opinion of Chief Federal
Radio Inspector w. D. Terrell.
The first broadcasting license
was granted in October. 1922, and
by January, 1922, it was apparent
radical steps to prevent interference
must be taken. Now there are 800
broadcasting stations and 1900 ,OoO
receiving sets in operation" Terrell
said.
THE field is about covered for
the broadcasting stations and they
Will not increase greatly In number,
but there Is no limit for receiving
sets"
In the RADIO is seen an educational
force as powerful as that exerted
by the moving picture. Particularly
in isolated rural communities is the
art OF broadcasting extending a
strong educational influence.
The authorities expressed the be-
lief that serni.annual conferences
will be necessary and frequent
amendment OF regulations essential
to keep radio communication within
bounds that it may be satisfactory
to the public.
Constant changes Of mechanical
equipment. improvements. new de.
vices and scientific progress neces.
sitate'a highly flexible control.
Terrell said many of the inter.
ference problems now confronting
the, industry will be reduced to a
minimum by Standardization and
Improvement of equipment. He
looks for perfection where trans
continental communication will be
common.
Extension to colleges and schools
Of the United States Of the services
Of leading authorities on the various
courses taught. through use of the
radio. will be one Of the outstanding
educational developments of the
next few years, officials said.

 DIVISION 0F ALASKA
Commercial Club Votes Unanimously for the Creation of New Ter
 ritory out First Division

WRANGELL, Oct. 10.-The Wran- gell Commercial Club has voted unan- imously in favor of the division of Alaska, the creation of new terri tory out of Southeastern Alaska, and voted unanimously in favor of hold ing a convention at Juneau to consi1- CT the question and to make arrange ments to inaugurate campaign to bring about division.
 The action of the Wrangell Com mercial Club was based upon the re- quest of the Ketchikan City Council that the people of Southeastern Alas ka give serious attention to the mat ter of Territorial division and submit ting the following propositions:
 l. Do you favor creation of a new Territory in Southeastern Alaska?
 2. What boundaries would you suggest for new Territory whether you favor the formation of one ol not?
 8. Where do you suggest that tht Convention be held?
 The Wrangell Commercial Club acting unanimously on all proposition favored the division, favored the 141s degree of longitude as the boundar. and Juneau as the place for the con vention.
 Mayor J. G. Grant, Rev. H. P. Cor ser, w. R. Neville, A. E. Gurr, Leor ard Campbell, Leo Mccormick, J. W Pritchett, H. D. Kyle and others wer speakers in favor of the proposition P. c. Mccormack presided at tn meeting.
 There was no objection on the pal of any of those who spoke to the il clusion of Cordova, the Prince Wi liam Sound and the Copper River Va ley country in the Territory, wit Southeastern Alaska, but it was b, lieved there would be less bickerin and more unanimity if Southeaster Alaska would simply ask for a Terr tory for the First division.
