RADIO MONOPOLY
IS HELD UNLIKELY
Little Credence Given to Talk
of Companies Con-
trolling Air.

Ill-founded fears are seen by radio
experts here in the objections to the
new radio control bill raised in the
Iouse of Representative before that
.ody passed the measure Representa-
i've Bloom of New YorN II an oppo.
ton which contended Il large ra-
lie interests, already &C. rolling net
works Of brcadca@ting stations, have
s4ric cted a system OF broadcast which
will prevent reception of their pro-
grams without attachment to radio
receiving sets of a special device upon
which they bold patents.
Thus, it was argued, certain chain
hioadcasters not only will exercise a
virtual monopoly of the ether by
blanketing the efforts of individual
'tations to broadcast, but will levy
what will in effect be fee on receiv-
ing sets by making il necessary for
the listenerin to purchase the pat
cnted attachment device. The Bureau
ct Standards. the large governmental
experiment station here, was men
toned as having perfected this device.
Control Monopolies.
Chain broadcasting is specifically
mentioned in the new radio control
measure as coming within the control
Radio Commission, and there are spe-
cific provisions also fol prosecutions
under the antitrust laws against
monopolies in either wireless broad
casting or wired-wireleSs hook ups.
This is the answer propounded to the
first objection voiced on the floor OF
the House.
The radiophone across the ocean
uses what is known as single side
band of transmission, which is spe-
cial broadcasting method which re.
quires a special apparatus for cut
ting" the width of a wave band for
multiplex simultaneous conversations.
1t was perfected, not at the Bureau OF
Standards, but by the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Co.. which oper-
ated the American end of the trans
atlantic radiophone system.
Adaptation Unlikely.
Scientists here say there is prac.
tically no likelihood of adaptation OF
this complicated and expensive broad.
casting and receiving device to land
stations and home sets. because nc
necessity exists for its use. If an eco
nomic advantage is sought by pat
antees of any secret radiant telephony
system in the nature of forcing the
listener TO DuN IIt1S ctLclNAAAAVhN tNiOAAs-
with his set. it seems that the Federal
Radio Commission can deal with the
problem.
The developing science and art OF
radio undoubtedly will keep the Fed
eral Radio Commission at puzzline
race. but supplemental legislation and
court rulings will define it's jurisdic
ton. Moreover, the radio industry
which is closely allied with broadcast
ing. is far too young and needs. e
reach far too many more homes IN
this country before it can afford to
place sets and parts farther out e the
reach of the ordinary mans buying

good care of your feet. If You are
practicing and playing regularly, exs

is broken anywhere. wash the spot
with absorbent cotton and put some

A blister on the foot may be halted
before it really gets bad. If it is small

BALL
BY SOL METZGER.

Smaha, Nehraska's crack for
ward, who scored lis points in ID
games last season, and is a marked
man on the court as a result this
year, owes much of his success to
his skill in freeing himself from his
immediate opponent when he does
not have the ball. Getting ones
self free in order to receive passes
must ever be the basis of success.
full attack in the modern game.
The stunt is worked only when the
player is able to change not only
his pace, but also his direction, and
at an acute angle. Circular weav-
ing is too easy to follow to make
effective in shaking off an oppo-
nent. One of Smaha's tricks Is to
start at full speed so his guard
will do likewise, as in Fig. J., Then
he suddenly breaks at a right
angle Gigs. and 81 by means of
some fast footwork. He twists on
his forward foot, the right one in
this case, swings his body at a
right angle by this means and is
off at top speed without apparently
losing a stride.
