RADIO ASSOCIATION.
CHARGES NUISANCE
Protests Interference With
Programs by Operators Of
Atlantic Coast Ships.

NEW YORK, August "A protest
against the Interference with radio
entertainment caused by ships along
the Atlantic seaboard was sent today
to the Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc.
by the American Radio Association.
The complaint was signed by Alfred
M. Caddell, secretary of the organiza-
ton, and read as follows:
1.-The American Radio Association,
national organization of listeners
In. is In receipt of many complaints
Of code (QRM) interference which
have been lodged by experienced
operators and traced directly to your
ships plying Long Island Sound and
to the land station in Brooklyn with
which they work. Broadcasting sta
tions go to great expense to send out
good programs, but while this code
Is being sent 1t is absolutely useless
for any one within a range OF 20 to
so miles Of Long Island Sound to try
to enjoy broadcast programs.
Cites National Regulation.
Undoubtedly you know that there
is a national regulation that specifies
that all communication must be car
ried on with the least possible power,
but qualified observers who have log
ged this sound traffic report that your
operators use considerable excess
of power. And this. combined with
the obsolete spark system employed
results in a very coarse, poorly tuned
signal that blankets the upper scale
of broadcast wave lengths and hashes
up the finest program.
The American Radio Association
is bending every effort to bring about
better broadcast reception, and we
respectfully ask that you cooperate
with the ARA to put an end to this
abominable nuisance. There is no ex-
cuse for it's continuation and 1t sim
ply must ceaSe-we would prefer, OF
course, to see you stop II volun-
tarily. One way to better conditions
Immediately would be to instruct
your operators to use their heads in
carrying on traffic and keep 1t OFF the
air in the early evening hours If they
cannot help trespassing on broadcast
wavelengths.
"A copy of this communication is
being sent to Herbert Hoover. Sec
retary of Commerce, and to the news
papers, for the situation warrants ac-
tion. However, in the event that you
remedy the present intolerable condi-
tions, the fullest publicity will be
given your efforts"

lini outlined the present status of
the interallied conference at London

minister of justice to draft a new
law to regulate the Italian press and

ing with the Fascist militia.
Observing that all the armed forces
must be regulated, the decree de-
clares that the militia belongs to
the country's regular armed forces
and that its members must take the
oath of allegiance to the king and be
subject to the same disciplinary reg
ulations as prevail in the regular
army.
The decree dealing with the vari-
Gus officers grades of the militia
places them on purely military
basis. The officers and men of other
ranks in the militia, with the excep-
tion of those holding high COM
mands, will serve voluntarily, will
be called to the coIors whenever
necessary and be under orders of the
prime minister. The decree, which
