Wider Separation Urged.
DIR. Goldsmith told the commission
that the present 10-kilocycie separa'
ton between stations is as close as
they can be put to prevent CONFUSION
"Closer separation must await teen
nical DEVELOPMENT" he said. Even
now, with the present 10-kilocycle sep
aration, we do not get the best quail
ity of musical reception. Twenty-kilo-
cycle separation would be better. II
stations deviate "a kilocycles, or 70
per cent, from their assigned waves,
the task of this commission would be
well-nigh hopeless. 1t is essential that
broadcasting stations remain on their
assigned wave lengths to prevent In
reference. No matter how carefully
the commission does it's work. * sta
tions are permitted to wander more
than one-half kilocycle from their as
signed wave, there will be much in
reference"
Edward M. Nockels, representing
the Chicago Federation of Labor and
allied labor organizations In the Mid
die West, said organized labor is op.
posed in principle and practice to
vested rights on the air. He declared
the right to broadcast should be de-
termined by the listener, who should
pay for what he GETS" and that only
those stations built and financed by
the listening public should be on the
air. Congress, he said, has no right
TO lease the air and give exclusive
property rights to broadcasters. IF
radio is left open to exploitation for
profit" he said, "a chaos OF discrim.
ination and graft beyond the power of
any individual or agency to control,
will prevail"
Consider Simultaneous Programs.
Separation of stations by power and
distance as well as by kilocycles was
urged by &. A. Jensen of station
WCAJ, Lincoln, Nebr. On a 10-kiio-
cycle frequency separation scale, Mr..
Jensen said. stations of 500 watts and
under should be separated by 800
miles or more; stations of 900 watts
up TO 5000 watts should be separated
by 500 miles and stations of 5000
watts and more should be separated
by long distances, in the interest of
the operator of the cheaper quality
receiving set whose reception is
blanketed by Il high power station.
Mr. Langley read into the record
the official recommendations of the
National Electrical Manufacturers
Association that a 10-kilocycIe separa.
ton ending in rather than char.
acterize the new kilocycIe station as.
signments TO be made by the com.
mission.
'',rhe Exposition to reduce fire..
quency separation is a step in the
wrong direction he said
The commission then turned to con.
sideration of simultaneous broadcast
ing of the same program by widely
scattered stations on the same wave
length, problem that DIR. Goldsmith
said has not yet been demonstrated
technically feasible. Others who spoke
today included c. W. Horn of the
Westinghouse Co., Prof. c. NJ. Jansky
Leroy Nj. e. Causing, +. M. Terry
and R. III. Marriott.

county by incorporation will lose
$4,000 annually which it is now re-
ceiving from State aid, including the
gasoline tax. Figures given out by
Mr.. Orr, which, he asserted, were OBJ
tanned from state records, show that
the total amount received by the
county for road purposes from all
State sources for the last annual
period of record total about $4,000.
Take his own figures" Mr.. Jesse
declared today. I'VE would still lose
slightly less than 100000 annually,
which If added to the school deficit
would make it necessary for US to
borrow approximately $185, 900 instead
of $85, 900 in order TO keep the schools
open until the taxes are collected for
the current year"
Mr.. Orr's Views Outlined.
Mr.. Orr's supplementary statement
last night pointed out that the men,
bers of the Better Government Com.
mission themselves were divided on
the question of Incorporation
TN view of the fact, however," he
said, that the problem has been seri-
ously discussed in the county for
many years and that there exists a
pronounced sentiment in favor of in
corporation, the commission unani-
mously adopted the recommendation
that bill be enacted into law giving
the people the power to settle the
question by an election.
THE eminent fairness of such o
proposal Is what has won for it the
overwhelming support of Arlington
County's two outstanding organiZa-
tions, the Civic Federation and the
Chamber of Commerce.
Says People Should Decide.
Senator Ball has expressed HIM
self as being opposed to immediate
Incorporation, but he has recognized
the right of the people to determine
the question for themselves. and has
greatly strengthened himself in the
esteem of the people on both sides of
this question by becoming the patron
of the BILL
Delegate Jesse replied to Orr's sally
regarding depriving the people of an
opportunity to denote their choice
with the declaration that 1.-THE people
of Arlington County are already fed
up on elections"

operative methods for restricting rub.
Der usage, using renovated rubber and

Difficulties Overcome.
By the Associated Press.

by the ASSUcldtcu EFe5s.
American rubber consumers have
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the Commerce Department their abil-
ity to meet conditions imposed upon
them by foreign price controls.
In publishing today its rubber con-
servation statistics, the department
said the American users had success
fully reduced the quantity of raw ma
terial used in rubber fabrication, and
at the same time the consuming de-
mand had been satisfied with an in
creased output of articles based on
rubber.
Development Statistics.
The main figure illustrating the de-
velopment, the department explained.
was that only 100000 tons of raw rub
Der was consumed In the United States
during 1926, against $4,000 tons the
year before. This ability to get along
on a lesser supply was exerted even
though the country's stock of auto
mobiles increased.
Sharp price declines in rubber oc-
CURED during 1926, largely attributed
TO the American conservation pro-
gram. while stocks of raw rubber in
the Far East, London and the United
States were increased at the end of
the year over the normal.
