Hoover's Answer TO Query.

The answer to the query How
and where can we put 176 more sta
tions?" perhaps will result from the
discussion Of an item in Mr.. Hoover's
agenda which might be paraphrased
as follows:
The present saturation in the broad
cast band and the exhaustion of chan
nels. makes il necessary TO limit the
number Of stations permitted to oper-
ate on the basis of public service.
AS a result. some of the less valu-
able and popular stations may be
ruled out, to permit the entry Of pro-
posed stations believed of more value
and service to the fans. Persuading
d station to abandon broadCasting
however, may develop difficulties in
excess Of those already encountered
by the department.
Besides the stations listed as de-
sirous Of hroadcasting, there is q
group Of ten existing stations plan
ming to raise their power. Five OF
them anticipate going to five kilo-
watts. These last stations are:
WREO. Lansing, Mich; WIS, Chi
cago: WHO, Des Moines; WGBO,
Miami: KPO. San Francisco, and prob
ably WOR, Newark. WOAQ and
WOKO, New York. together with
VIM, Newark, and WHAP, Brooklyn,

Routes damned With Traffic.

The Sc routes designated for use in
broadcasting through the ether are so
ilmmcd with traffic today. with the 81
active stations, that no new stations can
be accommodated unless existing sta
tionS divide time. Few care to do
this, having their own matter to
broadcast. Some stations have been
bought and sold; other channels aban-
doned have been seized by one or more
of the throng sitting in Secretary
Hoover's waiting room. What can be
done for the rest of them the fourth
national conference can perhaps de-
eide. but with 57l stations now jam

new applicants will meet with "a very
