BROADCASTERS FAIL
TO ASK HEARINGS
Many Protests Received as New
ALLEGATIONS Go in Effect, but
Meme Seek Recourse.

Although the reaction of broadcast
ing stations adversely affected by the
recent shake-up of frequency assign
ments and time divisions was any
thing hut happy one. the Federal
Radio Commission has as yet received
no applications for hearings from any
Of the station owners. This betokens
complete compliance with the recent
orders of the commission, shifting
perhaps 80 stations as of December
and December Is.
Most of the shifts took stations out
of the newly established mon
heterodyning band" of plum" wave
lengths and placed them on less dc.
sirable frequencies, sharing time with
other stations. Complaints came by
telegram and letter from the station
owners and their supporters, often
members of Congress, but the com
mission was adamant to all pleas for
reinstatement.
Protests on the part of dissatisfied
broadcasters, it was announced. could
be aired at public hearings at Wash
ington. No one. however, has asked
for such a hearing. Today the com
missions docket is cleared, as mem
bers of that body prepare to leave
for inspection tours of their respec-
tive radio zones.

Considerable interest has been
aroused through the introduction of
new automatic device designed TO
reduce fading to a minimum. AS i'm
portant as what this device does ana
how it does it as it is the truism
which it has emphasized. For some
time now radio owners have over
looked the fact that the problem OF
meeting fading largely is one Of pre-
venting excessive volume, paradoXical
as This may seem.
Most reception is a matter of peaks
and troughs. That is, there are high
points of volume and low points and
the most successful operator seeks to
level these out. 1t is possible to do
this by careful operation of the dia Is
and power controls. and it is here
that the new automatic device aims to
compensate for shortcomings in the
operation of receivers. This ftment
prevents reception from breaking into
unpleasant volume when The peaks
of signal strengths are reached.
The new unit explains Why so much
additional trouble results from fading
through improper operation of the set
4 radiOist happens to tune in While
signal strength is at one Of the peaks.
He finds reception entirely too loud
for his taste and cuts down on the
tilament power. Then signal strength
drops to one of the troughs and
promptly the station fades out al
together. He does not realize that
what he needs is not more power but
less power. BY turning up the fila
ment rheostat he can get the station
clearly enough at one of the trouehs
of the signal strengths. but unless he
stands by to follow the vaGaries of
fading with twists and tWirls of the
dials, or has an automatic device to
take care of this. at least so per
