XII WILL ACQUIRE
5,OOO-WATT POWER
Los Angeles Radiocasting Station
Plans to Be Most Power
full in Nation.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
LOS ANGELES. Calf, June Is
Plans to make XII a super-power
station and the most powerful in the
United States are being made by
Earle c. Anthony, Inc, owners and
operators of the station. New appa-
ratus which will be installed in the
station will give it a power of 5000
watts.
The purpose of the Anthony COM
pany In replacing its present 50O-watt
equipment is to increase not onlv the
range or the station, but to increase
particularly the quality and reii-
ability of reception. The sacrst ~
successful quality reproduction is to
put out sufficient power to bring tba
moduiated carrier wave into the re-
celVing set with sufficient strength

speaking devices from the energy

instead of using high voltage ampIifi-
ity. o'e" quai-
The present governmental law ner-
Nus out l'Oo0 watts to be put into
the antennae, therefore, XII will he

serve of five times that amount avail

tHe law is later modified.
Staff to Be TripIed.
In order to adequately take care of
the new equipment. the Anthony per-
sonnet of engineers, operators and
program managers will be tripIed
The set contains special transformers
and special devices to increase the
roundness of tone quality. The voice
Is amplified and turned into radio
frequency by the same 500-watt equip
t.
instead of this 500 watts going into
the antennae, as at present, it is
put into two watercooled amplifying
tubes. which are supplied with a poten-
tial of 10000 volts direct current
from three water-cooled rectifier
tubes, and the amplified modulated
the area in square feet of the pres
ent equipment, and is the latest de-
vice used, to be a duplicate of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company's station, WEAF, in New
York City.
The added power will insure salts
factory reception during the daytime,
and will mean an absence of fading
during the summer months, which is
now one of the greatest drawbacks
to DIX receiving.
Total cost of the extra equipment,
now under construction, will approxi-
mate $4,000 more than the present
towers, studio and buildings, with an
operating expense of approximately
$40, 200 per month. An additional studio
will be constructed, permitting one
group of entertainers to be prepar-
ing while another actually broad
casts.
Anticipating the full 5,000-watt
equipment being available. the
Anthony company plans to remove the
set to silltops in the outlying dis
sricts Of Los Angeles, in order that
Ihe city iself will be sprayed from
the outside without interference due
to power lines, street car lines, nigh
tension lines and the like. Also the
number of remote control stations
will be doubled, in order that the sup
porting program may be the best in
the United States.

SUMMER BOXING BOUTS
TO BE FEATURED BY WIZ
Will Radio Description of Milk
Fund Contests Tomorrow Night
From Yankee Stadium.

Presenting the first of the summer
boxing bouts, station WIZ will trans
nit Mai. J. Andrew Whites descrip-
ton of the feature fight of the
Milk Fund contests direct from the
Yankee Stadium, commencing at $3.50
o'clock tomorrow night. The main
bout of the evening, between Gene
Tunney, light-heavyweight champion,
and Ermilio Spalla, heavyweight
champion of Europe, promises to
be one of the best of the year.
Tunney is making a try for recogni-
ton as a contender for the honors
now worn by Jack Dempsey, while
Spalla has somewhat similar hopes.
Spalla fought Luis Firpo in Buenos
Aires, the fight lasting fourteen
rounds-longer than any one else has
ever gone with Firpo except Demp-
sey, who went much farther in
shorter time. Tunney expects to
rush the Argentine heavyweight off
his feet and put him to sleep in
rapid style, giving the bout the as
surance of a maximum amount of pep
and excitement for the fight fans
listening in.
J. Andrew Whites description of
boxing contests have placed him in
a class by himself-he is the un-
challenged champion Of sport an
nouncers, and his powers of observa-
tion and description will add much
to the success Of the broadcasting.

points. The tendency of most fans
seems to be to mount the switch
points too closely together. Mount
ing the switch points too closely to-
gether is bad practice, both cleo
trically and mechanically.
To lessen the capacity and increase
the resistance which is bound to ex-
list between adjacent switch points,
it Is best to mount them as far apart
as possible within limits which are
determined by the width of the con-
Meeting end of the switch arm.
Many fans place two switch points
close together and measure the dis
tance between centers of the switch
points, allowing short space
between the heads of the switch
points. Later, when they come to
mount the points they find that the
long diameter of the hexagon nuts.

Selecting and Mounting the Induc-
tnnce SWitch-Part IL.

After having selected a. good in
ductance switch, the next step is to
be sure to know how to mount it
properly for best results. This is a
very simple matter If attention is
paid to several details.
The first step is to determine just
where the shaft of the switch is to
be mounted. The next step is to drill
hole large enough for the mount
ing bushing. Then fasten the bush
ing in place temporarily with the
head of the bushing on the rear of
the panel and the nut on the front
of the panel.
Now comes the point which is
puzzle to many fans-the location

u. s. INSISTS
SHARE EQUALLY
|. IN DAWES PLAN
Will Answer Great Britain~
Note on Payments to be
Made to the Allies
WHAT PLAN PROVIDES
Hughes Expected to Insist
That Plan Contemplates
Equitable Division

Washington, Dec. l0.-The state
ic;.tion from the British government
explaining the attitude Of Great Eri-
tain on the question of collection Of
war damage claims from Germany by
the United States under the Dawes
reparation plan.
The British communication now is
bein" studied and will he answered
within Il few days.
IN the light of wha, has been said
by administration spokcsmcn on the
question involved. it is cons: dered
certain that Secretary Hughes will
insis; upon the principle that recoG-
milton OF American claims again st
Germany shall be. treated equal to
those OF other powers.
Entitled to Share
The Washington government al
ready has taken the position that it
is entitled to share in limited eX-
temt N the Dawes plan and expects
supper, from allied governments. It
has been pointed out by authorized
spokesnlen that the United States is
entitled to be paid under its, treaty
with Germany just as the allied
powers ale entitled to payment under
the terms OF the Versailles treaty. In
support Of this position it is said
that the American treaty with Ger
many furnishes both u legal and an
equitable right Tor the collection of
war claims from Germany out Of ben
eiitS derived by tha; nation under
the Dawes plan.
Since the United States was Il
participant in Il common victory, it
is held that the allied governments
cannot take all the assets of Ger
snany aud leave the American govern
nient III II position unable to collect
its Rhine army costs as well as the
claims which are being adjusted by
the German American mixed claims
commissions.
In Dawes Plan
Officials hcIr declare that when
the Dawes plan was formulated it
provided that the proceeds should
cover all the claims of the allied
and associated mowers. At the time
Of the London conference, il was be-
lieved that the position of the Wash
inStOn government had been made
clear. In advancing the explanation
Of the Amcrir:n position To the other l.
interested governments it also was
made clear that the United States
has no desire to be oppressive or to
make any other than just claims, de
fensihle ON legal grounds and hav-
ing an equity apparent to all.
