EXHIBIT OF NEW RECORD
IN LONG-DISTANCEW WORK

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD, Conn, September 20
roundabout path that furnishes
some new records in the way of dis
lance work for amateur radio commu
nication was pursued by a message
from Chefoo. China. to this city, that
made its way here via Chile and Cali
fornia. The message had it's source
at radio station NUQG, on board the
u. 5. S. Pillsbury at Chefoo, and was
intended TO convey the congratulations
OF the radio men on that ship to the
headquarters of the American Radio
Relay League in this city for the work
of the league in the development of
short wave communication.
AS a startling demonstration of the
efficiency of short waves came the
first lap covered by The message.
Senior Edmundo Guevara of VII
cum, in the southern part Of Chile
almost IL 900 miles around the earth
from Cheefoo-took the message from
the operator on the Pillsbury. To
prove that direction had little to do
with the result. Gueyara then cast
about in the ether for an American
radio amateur to pass the message
along.
Station 6JP, owned and operated by
0. Roediger Of San Francisco. was the
first to answer the call of Chile LEG,
and Senior Guevara passed on the mes
sage to Roediger, who In turn sent II

FOX-TR0T VERSIONS
BORE L|STENERS4N
Radio Fans Believed Sur
feited With Jazz as Offered
by Many Broadcasters.
BY RAYMOND F. YATES

For three years now we have been
ranting semi-frantically about the I'M
mitigated employment by the studios
OF the geological brand of music. Go
TO the radio any evening and you will
find anywhere from five to ten Jazz
orCheStraS within the reach of your
contraption. And the tragedy of it
Is the growing number of ''foX-trot
versions" II it is not the mangled
body OF Il Wagner aria it is a Strauss
waltz or a Chopin prelude. This
simply goes to show that jazz is
bankrupt art and that syncopation is
musical parasite feasting on the
luxurious fiber of creations far be
You'd the capabilities of its own mas
tiers. 1t Is just as easy TO syncopats
the Flower Songs as it is to sit down
at the piano and rag Moritz Mosllow-
skis 'Serenata Opus Is, No. l." Yet
to hear our jabb mongerS talk one
would think that jazz was great,
big, healthy. artistic invention that
must be fed from the deepest wells of
human emotion.
Radio Hurts Jazz.
Radio has made jazz 50 hOpeleSaN
common that il is hurting both itself
and broa dca sting. Still, we have only
a few studio managers in TINS big
country Of ours who are able to put
their minds around this simple fact.
We do not mean 10 say that jazz
should not be allowed a place on the
air or that all of its practitioners
should he given a long rest at the
Ride-a-Wee Sanitarium, for. after all,
some of it's supporters have been able
to lift it, not to an art, but to a sort
of craftsmanship that deserves some
kind of recognition. No one can listen
10 the gentle playing of Paul White
man and his original band without
feeling kindly toward this droolinS in
FAINT of the musical world. Lopez,
too. has given more to radio than
radio has given TO him. Fortunately
for Jazz and the radio, Lopez is not
what we call q musical Smarty.' lie
does not take pride in trying to crush
music into an unreCoSnlZabte pulp
with the newer devices and methods.
There is a charm. a warmth. gentle
flavor TO his playing that one, even
though hostile to jazz, must SYM
pathize with.
That Lopez is spending his time in
the development of d hopeless musical
protege makes little difference: he is
responsible for a vast source of en-
tertainment.
II would be unfair to Ben Bernie,
another WEAF feature, not to men
lion him along with the precious few.
Bernie has an enjoyable technique all
his very own. and it seems to us that
he has supplied jazz with some real
originality.

A. Atwater Kent with a New York
musical bureau controlling these art
| lists and the American Telephone and

Starting Sunday night. October 4,
WEAF and chain of affiliated sta

Kent has already signed contracts
with about 20 stars of the opera and
concert stages, and hopes to increase
his troupe as soon as definite arrange
ments can be completed with manag-
ing agents and the photograph COM
panies. This action assures fans of
weekly concerts by many stars never
before heard over the air free, all ex-
penses being borne by Mr.. Kent.
