ton Of chaos In the ether made by
Secretary Hoover as a result OF the
Department Of Justice decision strip
ping him of power to regulate radio
casting wave lengths, Is already being
realized, the New York World says.
A check.up by the World shows
that six New York broadcasting sta
lions either have switched to new
wave lengths or have indicated their
Intention to do so. Four of the sta
tons have increased their power, and
one new station has demanded and re-
ceiyed license because no one now
has authority to refuse such demands.
Stations Are Named.
The New York stations which have
taken higher powered and more de-
sirable wave lengths. the World says,
are WRNY, WMSG, WBNY and
WBBR. The new license was granted
to Peter Prince, Flushing radio
dealer. NJ
Confusion In broadcasting resulting
from the taking over of identical wave
lengths by several stations can be
remedied only by self.regulation or re-
course to the civil courts until the
next session Of Congress-. Two bills
regulating control of the ether were
not acted on at the last session.
Nearly 900 applications for licenses
held In allegiance by Secretary Hoover
may be granted now.
Amateurs Are Warned.

OF the New York district said that the
