EFFECTSOF RADIO
CUT TO Be NOTED.
Hembers of Commission Will
Observe Conditions in Their
Respective Zones.

Now that their latest reallocation
scheme has largely been effected,
members of the Federal Radio Com.
mission are preparing to visit their
respective zones to observe the actual
radio reception conditions they have
wrought. Under an order Just passed
: the commissioners have been author
lied to go into the field and make
such observations during December
and January. paying attention not
only to reception resulting from the
new ALLEGATIONS, but to the character
of programs broadcast.
The acting chairman of the COM
mission, Judge Eugene Q. Sykes,
leaves today for Jackson, Miss, his
home. He expects to remain there a
week before making an extensive sur
vey of conditions in the third radio
zone. which he represents and which
includes North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida. Alabama, Tennessee.
Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Texas and Oklahoma. He expects to
return shortly after January l.
Commissioner Sam Pickard will
leave in a week or 10 days for his
first tour of duty since his appoint
ment to succeed H. A. Bellows. He
expects to study the situation closely
in most parts of the fourth zone, en-
bracing Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin.
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Iowa. Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri. Because of the death of
Admiral Billiard, he may also visit
Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky in the
late chairmans zone.
Commissioner H. A. Lafount ex.
poets to so back to his home in Salt
Lake City shortly before Christmas
and thereafter tour his zone in the
Far West. He will probably spend the
month of January on the Pacific
Coast, consulting with broadcasters
there on their problems.
At Chicago this week the commits
sioner from the first radio zone, o. III.
Caldwell of New York, a frequent
visitor to his nearby constituency.
told the radio division of the National
Electrical Manufacturers Association
that the commission after December
l is offering the public 80 cleared
channels. The others, he admitted.
are 'hopelessly overloaded" and
their shrieks of protest nightly assail
the ears Of listeners"
But the commission has done the
best in its power to crowd nearly 700
stations on only SO available channels
said Commissioner Caldwell. Again
he urged the idea of station synchro-
nizing-the broadcasting of the same
programs on the same wave lengths
by neighboring stations. He suggest
ed various technical methods which
he said promise excellent possibilities
Commissioner Caldwell also will visit
his zone during December and JAN
uary.

HIDDEN GOLD BRICK
SEIZED IN MOSCOW
Precious Metal Buried by Owner to
Avoid Loss Confscated by
Police Force.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.


MOSCOW.--A brick of pure gold
buried by its owner during the revo-
luton with the hope of saving it later,
has come into the hands of the police.
The bar weighed 16 pounds and was
hidden in 1917 by Nine. Dunaieva, wife
of Moscow's millionaire match king,
who had intrusted the precious metal
to her for safe keeping.
For 10 long years Nine. Dunaieva
has been scheming to visit the hiding
place in the garden of her former
palace and unearth the treasure which
would aid her during the troublesome
times.
But the long arm of the police,
who had suspected that the Dunaievas
had concealed some of his riches,
reached out and clutched the golden
bar at the exact moment that Nine.
Dunaieva had it within her grasp for
one short moment.
Nine. Dunaieva came to Moscow
under disguise. Her GUNNER palace.
in the garden of which the gold had
been transformed into children s
home and was well guarded by Gus
todians and watch dogs. She ascer-
tanned that it was impossible to ac-
complish the task alone, and she there
fore decided to marry Soviet official,
whom she took into confidence. To.
gether they hired two workers, prom.
Using a generous reward.
But the Moscow police, who had
been clipped off. had their eye on the
diggers, and Nine. Dunaieva was ar.
rested the moment she discovered the
treasure
