RADIO COMMISSION
TO CLEAR WAVES
Runching OF LoW-Powered
Stations Held Necessary to
Prevent Interference.

The only change i'm policy contem
Mated by the Federal Radio Commits
sion for the near future is q further
crowding of certain wave lengths by
stations required to divide time in
order 10 clear other frequencies for
stations that are doing "a better job.
That is the declaration made by
Commissioner II. a. Bellows in an In
terview in which he denied reports I"
the effect that radical change in the
commissions plan of wave length and
power ALLEGATIONS is in view because
Autumn weather is Lriuging with 1t
more heterodyninG.
Admitting that the changing season
Is CAUSING better long distance recep-
ton and consequently more clashes
between stations located far apart
operating on the same wave lehgtnS'
Mr.. Bellows asserted that the comih.S'
sion is now desirous of clearing IN"
waves on which the stations giving
the highest type of Public service are
operating. These are very largely ths
stations of higher powers, 1or theg
were granted high powers because Oh

The others. or the low powered sta
t;ons must be punched together on
the same waves. Where they are far
enough apart their low signal strength

they are near together they must dl-

commission proposes to DO hetWeeh

over it's administrative duties TO the
radio division of the Department oil

Mr.. Bellows declared that it was
Il
connparatiVely simple matter TO de
termine which stations render the
greatest public service. Having Just
returned from tour of Inspection
which took him as far as Denver, ne
said that it was easy to get the re-
action of listeners to stations in each
locality by an impartial canvass.
The average listener, he said. Is NOT
concerned with the ownership of
the station. and criticizes freely. The
consensus is easy TO obtain,
In that regard. Mr.. Bellows said
he has been convinced that the sta
tions in Shenandoah, Iowa, stations
KMA and EFNF', have so thoroughly
'sold" themselves to their listeners
in the corn belt that there is no
question about their service merits.
These are the stations engaged in
direct selling via the microphone.
subject of much recent pro and con
discussion. Mr.. Bellows visited Shen-
andoah on his return from Denver.
The basis of wave and power al.
locations will remain the same, Mr..
Bellows continued. The case OF
each station, whether seeking
chcange in frequency or power or
complaining of interference by an
other broadcaster. will be taken up
individually and changes made
when deemed necessary. Mr. Bel

ALASKA TEACHER SHOOTS

Because he wanted so earnestly to attend the N. E. A. convention in Seattle, Amos B. Sprunger an Alas kan school teacher, was forced to lonely sandspit at the mouth of the Kuskokwim river, the Seattle Star relates. MT. and Mrs. Sprunger are government teachers at Quigillingok, an out-of-the-way school on the bar ren spit. Most of the natives life is lived half-underground. There is no drinking water except that pro- vided by the rain Thirty-two chil- dren attend the school, which starts at a. m. each day. The biggest im- port into the district is soap, and the Sprungers say they never can get enough of it. When they decided to come to the convention, the problem arose What to do with the dog team? The natives, it was certain, would neglect and half-starve them. No whites were within scores of miles. So, while Mrs. Sprunger shut herself up in the cabin, Springer. with tears in his eyes, reluctantly shot the dogs rather than allow them to live in want. Then, sadly, they made their way to the outside"
