ANTITRUST ACTION

Applicant for License May
Be Required to State
Agreements Made.

Provisions aimed at the prevention
of a broadcasting monopoly and re-
curing applicants for station licenses
to list and describe all of their agree
mentS and contracts with other broad
casters or rauiO manufacturers may
be included in the White radio bill
when it is finally drafted in commit
tee. 1t appeared yesterday, 70 loving
the completion OF public hearings on
the measure. Suggestions that some
such provision be included in the bill
received close attention from commit
tee members:
AS proposed the monopoly prevent
ing clause would empower the SeCre-
tary of Commerce to refuse licenses
to station owners or operators whose
trade or broadcasting agreements pre-
sented prima facie evidence of viola
tions Of the antitrust laws. To date
none of the several radio bills pre-
sented to Congress has contained such
Il clause

Federal Trad Commission to exist in

No. 48-Rejuvenating the Tubes.

Ef1ciency being the keynote of
Smiths success with his radio set, 1t
was only natural that he should con-
slider rejuvenating the tubes. Econ
omy was not his only thought In this
matter. He was thinking mainly of
! the advantage OF having the tubes
working at their best.
very wisely he did not attempt TO
reJuvenate any OF the tubes until he
was sure the set was In good condition
therWise. He realized that IL the bat.
teries were low the results would be
the same as II the tubes wearing out.

fortunately. Smith happened to be
using tubes that would respond to the
eJuNeHatHg process Some tubes
cahrot be reactivated. This applies to
the WD-11 and VIDE type of tube
the reason is that in these tubes the
electronS come from a coating of GER
.afn oxides which is applied to the sur
lace OF the filament. Once the elec.
irons are drawn out of the coating
;ney cannot be put back.

the filament of any other type tube.
The idea that rejuvenating a tube is

ton and putting .ke electrons or the
atoms or the surfare layer back on the
hiament again is a popular misconcep-
tlon. / FASTENED to set Smith right.

used for this purpose. but 1t is more
convenient to use alternating current
from the light socket and a trans

Several methods are used for resensi-
tizing tubes, but one of the most sue
cessful is combination method known
as flashing" and aging" Flash
ing" l explained to Smith. is the proc
ess Of applying an excessive voltage to
he filament for a brief interval. For
UX or CV-201-A tube, for instance
a voltage of Is is applied for one min.
ute. The same with c and CX tubes
OF corresponding number. After the
flashing" some Of the torium oxide
in the filament is reduced to thorium.
The aging" process is then in or
der. Tubes of the classes mentioned
above are given about 10 minutes
treatment at 7.5 volts. This helps to
produce layer Of thorium on the
f1lament
The Slower Process
Another method consists of burning
tube at 10 per cent greater than IT'S
rated voltage for a number OF hours
This is slower and rather drawn-out
process, but one that Is used in some
cases as means of obviating the dan
ger of damaging the tube. Flashing"
has to be done carefully. Some of the

One of the interesting features of
tubes is that If they are burned too
