AIR WAR LOOMING
ON WAVE LENGTHS
Chicago Station Picks WEAF Fig
ure-Others May Precipi-
tate Chaos.

This week will tell the story" of
whetherVor not chaos will result from
the Department of Commences forced
policy of laisSeZ faire in regard to
radio broadcaSting, observers believe.
BY the end of the week, 1t is
thought, the department will be able
to tell how many broadcasterS are
planning to take advantage of the
situation resulting from the failure of
Congress to enact radio legislation.
Department officials are inclined to
take an optimistic view of things, de-
claring they do not think many broad
casters will take advantage of the sit
uation at the expense of the general
public. Others, however, point out
that the air already is so crowded that
the shifting Of wave lengths by a few
high-powered stations would be
enough to throw the entire industry
into a mess.
The Department of Commerce has
received assurances from many of the
larger broadcasting stations that they
contemplate no changes in their wave
lengths. The value of these assur.
ances, however, is negligible. 1t is
taken for granted that the big sta
lions, which were in the field first and
therefore have good wave lengths, will
from other stations which are less
satisfied with their wave lengths and
from would-be operators who have
been denied licenses.
The first license granted by the
Department of Commerce under its
new policy was to the Federation of
Labor station in Chicago, which has
been clamoring for an operating
license for several months.
The wave length chosen by this
station may he an indication of the
chaos that is in prospect for radio.
It picked wave length of 492 me-
tiers, the same as that now in use
by station WEAF, New York, one of
the most powerful stations in the
country.
WEAF for several years has been
on the air every evening from to
IL o'clock, the choice broadcasting
hours. If the new Chicago station de-
cides to use these same hours it win
mean that people In the Eastern half
of the country will be unable to listen
to either.
There are nearly score of other
stations believed to be ready to begin
broadcasting at any time. IL they
choose wave lengths already in Use,
as they will have to do il they take
any at all, it will mean that more
stations will be in conflict.
