BIRDS CAUSE
DAMAGE

UTooDPEcKERs devour many
w harmful insects, but also do
considerable damage to wooden
power.line poles by using them as
storehouses for their food, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. As
inspectors have found, the birds
have a habit Of drilling holes in
the wood and inserting acorns and
other morsels. The acorns decay
and sometimes harbor worms,
which the bird relishes. Holes in
the pole weaken it and expose it
to rot. Along some of the lines
that pass through extensive wood

ROMANCE OF RADIO
REVIEWED FOR CLUB
Broadcasting Official Tells Rotary
Of Great Development in

The romance of radio in it's record
growth from a Laboratory expert

within a siX-year period was reviewed
by Frank A. Arnold director of de-
velopment of the National Broadcast

the Rotary Club luncheon at the Will

While only few years ago radio

SPAIN IGNORES WAVE
LENGTH ASSIGNMENTS
All Europe in Protest Because of
Country's Refusal to Follow
Schedule.

Spanish radio broadcasting stations
are apparently not yet quite willing to
accept the designations of wave
lengths made for them by the Inter.
national Radio Conference. which met
some time ago at Geneva in an effort
to clear the European ether of broad.
cast interference. Commercial At.
tache Cunningham, at Madrid, and
others report that while the other ma
tions have conformed with the require
ments of the international conference,
Spain has not required her stations to
shift their channels and remain on
those assigned. AS a result it is now
impossible to receive even the best
and highest powered broadcast sta
tions outside of Spain because of in
reference there.
Inside the country proper a situa-
ton resembling the ether jam in the
United States is found. Most of the
Spanish stations are unregulated, and
some of the channels are not even
known in official quarters. Barcelona
broadcastS on 1926 meters instead of
the conference channel of 345 and
interferes with Bournemouth, Eng
land, on 326 meters. The Castillo sta
operates on $40 meters. and causes
interference with other stations.
Madrilena uses 306 instead of 294 me-
ters and interferes with Belfast. The
Catalina transmitter interferes with
station at Langerberg with 60 kilo-
watts. Bilboa is 3S meters off it's as
signment and Vizcaya spoils the broad
casts from Rome.
The Saville station is the only one
on it's assigned wave; it is 400 meters.
San Sebastian is 100 meters off it's
channel Cartagena is way off it's
ether route and spoils Nuremberg's
kilowatt transmissions. The station at
Cadiz also is off its wave and inter
Ceres with Cardiff and a London sta
ton internationally due to its irregu-
larities. A station at Salamanca is
reported operating on 405 meters in
stead of 275 meters. All Europe is un-
derstood to be protesting, and 1t is
hoped that Spain will soon reroute its
stations so as to prevent the interna-
tional interference they are causing
throughout Europe.

COMMISSION ASKS
DATA ON STATIONS
License Applications viii

clarity on two significant points is
sought by the Federal Radio Commits
SION in the first official step it has
taken toward relicensing the program
broadcasting stations--the submittal
or license applications forms today to
the 733 stations now operating and the
others of this class newly constructed
or contemplated. Like offering briefs
In court, the respective stations thus

mite data with which to take up each
stations "raison d'etre."
On the basis of what is stated in the
applications and in the hearings held
before the commission on the applica-
tlonS, If hearings are sought, decisions
will be made as to the conditions un-
der which the station may continue to
broadcast. Or in some cases it is to
be expected decisions will be made
against the continuance of broadcast
ing by certain stations.
On the first of the two significant
points in the application, whether the
station is operating in the public in
terest and in what respect, it is to be
assumed that every broadcaster will
emphasize and insist upon his particu-
lar service to Nation or community.
The larger stations, especially those of
advance the undoubted merit of their
programs and extent of their audi
ence.
The second point is the waiver. 1t
Will be interesting to note whether
any stations balk at signing a waiver
to any claim of prior rights to par
ticular channels or to the use OF the
ether as against the regulatory power
of the United States. This feature of
l. n -. xrtl1 tyeaI
so much dissension in the Senate dur
ing consideration of the radio bill that
is now law. The fear was expressed
that the older and larger stations,
owned by big interests, will contend
that their prior use of certain wave
channels gives them a vested right to
those channels.
. 1t was argued. that the law should
aim against vested rights and preclude
litigation in which the Government
might lose out. The Government own
Jership of the ether should be outright
Nand undisputed, it was said. Senator
Dill and other supporters of the bill
contended that if the Government can
limit power output and prescribe the
wave band and broadcast hours or
station--in other words, control the
ether through controlling the appara-
tus-its authority would be complete.
The law was thus passed.
The interesting development will
now be the court tests, If any are
sought, of the commissions authority
to deny certain stations the continued
use of wave channels they have hith-
erto been using. If priority claims are
carried to the courts, it is altogether
likely that an entirely now code of
judicial precedents will be established
sas part of radios process of settling
down. The application of existing
codes in the court thus far has been
wholly indeterminate.

UNDERWOOD ADVOCATES VESSELS IN ROUTE FAR
 EAST STOP IN ALASKA
FUELING STATION ON klSKA ISLAND IS URGED BY SEAT-
 TILE REPRESENTATIVES,

Development of a fueling station on Kiska Island, to the far Westward, tion along the shores of the Aleutian Islands and the esta blisEmen. of a government cable from Sitka to the Far Ea5, by way ot the Aleutians, are urged by J. J. Underwood, repre- sentative of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce who recently returned to Seattle from a three months trade mission to China and Japan
 At yesterdays business meeting of the Seward Chamber of Commerce. held in the Seward Grill, a lengthy article was read from the Railway and Marine News magazine in whicc Mr. Underwood writes of the need of active representation in the Far East and that the United States navy has never developed it's fueling reserva- ton on Kiska Island, which contains the best harbor of any island west of Unalaska, and is located midway be- tween Unalaska and Attu, the west ernrost tip of the Alaska Territory.
 It is expected that this develop ment will be urged in order that American liners using the great circle route' to the Orient may re- fuel at this station and thus con- serve their space for cargo
 With aids to navigation installed on the Aleutian chain, American steamships plying to the Westward from the Far East would use the great circle route by returning to the United States via Unimak Pass and north of the Aleutian Islands in ord CT to take advantage of favorable currents.
Seward daily gateway., 1927-01-26

"One of the things which could be combatted and a plan in working out tourist schedule to the Orient, via Alaska" MT. Underwood says, would be the establishment of a stop at some point in Alaska and we could then advertise trips to the Far East via the Land of the Midnight Sun"
 The article caused a great deal of discussion between members and it was finally decided that Secretary Hannon and Captain o. A. Johansen write a letter to MT. Underwood in- forming him on several points in his article.
