PERMITS REQUIRE
FREQUENCY SHIFTS
100 Stations Must Change to
Even Waves on New
Board Orders.

ABOUT lUU TdulO SIaLlUHS. SOW UpeI'
ing on odd freQuencies. will be re.
tired to shift to even frequencies
der the temporary permits now be-
: issued by the Federal Radio Com
sssion. These are in addition to the
j or more stations already announced
hich must shift from the wave
myths exclusively assigned to Can.
la or from within 10 kilocycles of
lose waves.
In most cases little difficulty will be
aVperienced in effecting the shift. Sta
onS ordered to do so VIII probably
limb up or go down to the nearest
ven frequency. For example, sta
on operating on 1895 frequency kilo-
tycles (the equivalent OF 400-meter
wave length) will probably simply
~hange to ESQ, or one on 1.10S kilo-
ycles viii probably so down to the
zen 1000. The changes are com.
aratively slight for some of the
atoadcasters. They must be made by
april %.

nust shift from Canadian wave
myths. these are the stations ex-

Irene Peekhan, fourteen-year-old
pianist, who won the sesqui-centennial
prize in the interstate contest spon.
sored by the National Federation of
Music Clubs, VIII be heard in a brief
recital tonight through WRC. Out
standing critics have commented IA
vorably on her technique, musical I'M
lerstanding and poise, which they
nave likened to that of an experienced
artist.
WRC also has scheduled its usual
array of Wednesday night attractions
the Ipana- Troubadours, the Davis
Saxophone Octet, the Balkite "Cycle
IF Romance This and That" and a
tabloid version of a comic opera, which
tonight will be ia File de Madame
Angot." Sam Siegel, whom Paul
Whiteman and Leonard Liebling have
both publicly characterized as one of
The worlds greatest mandolinists, has
oeen engaged as the guest artist to
appear with the saxophone octet.
Siegel has played in almost every
country on the globe and before
European royalty. The Ball<ite "Cycle
of Romance" will be devoted to the
theme Flowers
The only attractions of local origin
10 be presented by WRC are a. concert
Dy the Army Band and program by
The Perfect Diamond Entertainers.
The most patient dialer found radio
reception conditions disappointing last
night. Static cracked and sputtered
into the loud speakers, and fading was
extremely bad, notably so in the case
Of WBAL during its broadcasting of
the Baltimore Municipal Band concert.
It required utmost patience to tune
in some of the stations, and even after
they had been found it was difficult to
catch the call letters because OF the
atmospheric interference. Static seem
ed to be much worse, however, on the
higher wave lengths than on the lower
ones.
