RADIO AS PRESS AID
BEATS WIRE REPORTS
Bz>adcasting Of National Political
Convention Proceedings Held
of Special Value.
BY CARL II. BUTMAN.

The first broadcasting of a national
into some newspaper Offices where it
had never before penetrated. 1t Is
said to have been of value to the
managing editors in two ways: First,
that it actually beat the press wire
reports by about two minutes, and,
second. it enabled the managing edit
ors and makeup men on duty at
home offices to anticipate stories and
keep in touch with the actual spirit
of the convention, probably better
than reporters on the scene busy
writing stories. -
In Washington the editor of daily
had a radio receiving set on his desk
and directed the makeup OF his pa
per while he listened in on the con-
vention, from the actual platform, as
it were. He could feel the pulse of
the sessions; he was able to get the
feel" of the convention. During the
balloting he added up the votes for
each candidate as they were an
nounced and kept tab on the votes
necessary to win the nomination. He
secured a definite line on the. spirit
of the applause at each nomination
speech, as well as outburstS follow
ing the casting of the votes by dele
cations, and judged himself whether
or not the cheering and applause
were manufactured, inspired or Spon-
taneouS.
This was a side light editors who
remained at their desks never could
secure before, and it was valuable.
making possible better editing and
follow-up stories. Radio brought in
an additional story one correspon-
dent could not write.
1t is understood that many news
papers will use radio during the
Democratic convention in various
ways. In general it is believed the
broadcasting of the Cleveland con-
vention sold radio reporting to num-
bers of the dailies which hereto
to listen-in during the broadcasting
of, national events. 1t not only sup
plements the wire service, but in
sures another direct channel for
news, especially when bulletins and
flashes are due, and aids in antici-
pating the need for extra editions,
speeding up their issuance
Some radio fans feel that radio has
eliminated the need for extra papers,
but, on the other hand, the radio
announcements carry bare facts with
are gone in a moment, whereas the
papers are longer lived and carry
news and features. follow stories
and views of authorities which do
not come over the radio. All of
which, others argue, make the extra
or the next issue of a newspaper all
the more interesting and necessary
to the radio fan.

possible. The long aerial will pick
up signal more efficiently than
shorter one and will consequently
impress a great voltage upon the

CYCLISTS HUNT RABBITS.
Roar of Motors at Night Keeps
Farmers Awake.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, June "a
The mysterious nocturnal roar of
motor cycles in the open fields at
Del Rosa, near here, which for some
time caused farmers in the vicinity
many sleepless nights, was explained
recently by a youth who declared that
rabbit hunting on motor cycles by
night was fast becoming the popular
sport of the town cyclists.
He explained that riders chased the
rabbits through the field until the
animals neared exhaustion, then
drew up alongside and grabbed. them
by the ears.
