WAVE LENGTHS
CHANGED
BY LISTENER-N
Pinch.Hitting for Gardner Mack


Nearly every broadcasting station
n the country viii be transmitting
on a new wave length tonight.
The new frequency Allegations, or.
0ered by the Federal Radio Commits
sion, went into effect at O'Clock
this morning. About 500 of the
present 694 stations were shifted
: from one wave length to another.
Among those few stations which
did not have to change are WRC
WIZ and WEAF. Most Of the other
big ones were among those changed.
The shake-up win probably worry
many listeners until they get their
sets relogged. Millions Of listeners
viii probably be busy tonight and
Tor several nights learning their
dials all over again.
DIFFICULTY
FINDING STATIONS
The majority Of listeners probably
VIII not realize the magnitude of the
Publications until they attempt to
lind their faVorite stations tonight.
} Then the fun will begin.
In addition to wave length shifts
there will be many changes in power.
WRC will continue to use the same
power it has used in the past, but
WMAL will drop from $50 watts to
100 watts. This station has an appli-
cation before the commission for per-
mission to use 500 watts. WMAL's
wave length change will be from 294
meters to 302.S meters.
1t will be interesting to watch
and see whether the Radio Commits
sion's method for eliminating the
chaos on the air is effective.
It has not reduced the number
Of stations materially, but has at
tempted to clear the air by reallo-
cations and cutting down power.
MORE DRASTIC
STEPS POSSIBLE
If this method is not successful
the commission will have to take
more drastic steps, closing down
many stations and limiting hours
that stations can be on the air.
This wedding out Of stations may
begin tonight because some sta
ton may not observe their new al
locations. The commission last
night warned that the new regula-
tions will be strictly enforced, and
failure to observe them will result
In revocation of the stations
license. Some stations win proba-
bly, carry the test to the courts.
The commissions order follows:
The commission has requested the
Department Of Commerce to instruct
its representatives in the field to
note any apparent violation of the
terms Of the new licenses. Any
proved and willful failure to abide
by the conditions of these licenses
will be deemed by the commission
case for revocation Of license, un-
der section Ia Of the radio act of
1927.
