STATIC MUSES.
UP RADIO EFFORTS
ACROSS ATLANTIC

New York, Jan. 27.-(AP)-A SEEM
ingly solid wall of static that reared
itself today along the Atlantic coast
was the latest obstacle to stand in the
way of success of the third interna-
tional broadcasting tests as North
American stations resumed their eff
forts tonight to exchange programs
with Europe.
Since o'clock this morning station
WLW, Cincinnati, beat in vain against
this wall with>a barrage of music in a
broadcasting endurance test" which
will end tomorrow at s o'clock A. NJ.
Although 500 kilograms from the
central part of the United States. the
southwest and as far vast as Montana
reported clear reception. eastern OBJ
servers asserted that only static
squawks filtered into their sets.
After broadcasting all day, station
WLW only stopped once for fresh
breath. That was during the overseas
hour when South American and all Eu-
ropean stations, except those of the
British Isles. came on the air. But in
order that 1t might have complete
24-hour record an extra hour was add
ed to it's program.
Because of the link" that has pur-
sued the radio tests in the form of
Interruptions by o S calls, earth
quakes, storms and static caused either
by sun spots or aurora borealis, the
hopes of the radio week committee
are now centened on Fridays tests
when zone broadcasting will be fea-
tured, l.. A. Nixon, executive secretary
of the committee said.
During those tests each quarter of
the North American continent will
broadcast in turn while the remainder
is silent. Stations in the eastern time
zone will be on the first five minutesi
next, the central time states stations;
after this the mountain time stations,
and finally the Pacific coast stations.
Under this plan, 1t was pointed out,
many listeners in the east will be able
to hear and log middle west and Pa
cifc coast stations for the first time.

building. the largest wooden struc-
ture in town. They estimated their
loss at $4,000 to 100000. All occu-
pants of the block were protected
with about so percent insurance.
The fire, which started at mid
night, was not under control until 4
