Glancing through the assignments

KYW. Chicago, and KMTR. Los An

previously, on the same channel. where

Newark. and KPO, San Francisco. are
equally believed to be well situated on
ITO kilocycles, and WGY, Schenectady,
and WHAZ, Troy, old bedfeilows. also
are believed to be ideally adjusted.
KDKA. Pittsburgh, with $40 kiloc ycles,
and KPSN, Pasadena. aren't well allo-
Gated on $50 kilocycles. since KDKA
will certainly be spoiled in the West,
despite time divisions; their powers are
much greater than those Of WRC and
XII, or WOR and KPO; Atlanta, Den
yer and Burlington, Iowa, stations. on
$50, are not considered as very badly
arranged, and neither are two Chicago
stations sharing time and station in
Albuquerque, while the Texas stations
WBAP and WFAA, still dividing time,
may not be interfered with by the
small stations at Charleston. s. c., and
Salt Lake City, except that residents
in the last named cities can seldom IL
ever hear the two Texans.

Suggests Broadcast Editing.

Editing of broadcast programs
rather than censoring them is urged
on the Federal Radio Commission by
Representative Emanuel Celler of
Brooklyn, n. Y, who once suffered
the indignity Of being "cut off" while
broadcasting. Although Congress re-
Trained from injecting anything like
governmental censorship into the
radio law, except that it prevents the
exclusive use of station by po-
litical candidate. Mr.. Celler feels that
the Government will eventually have
to take hand if stations continue to
forbid critical and liberal discussions
on controversial matters. The COM
mission, even if 1t had authority and
wanted to do so, could not begin to
censor all stations without the aid Of
a large and well trained field force
and standardized set of censorship
regulations.
Holding that private censorship is
necessary, especially with regard to
slanderous and obscene matter, Mr..
Celler suggests that station owners
permit the free discussion Of contro-
versial. political and social questions
at least once a week.
The commission, in re-issuing the
60.day licenses to stations. he believes,
should take into consideration the
liberal or conservative attitude Of the
applicants, with regard to broadcast
ing both sides to a controversy in pub
lie interest. To this end, he recon-
mends that every station be required
to keep log. listing all protests and
including copies of all speeches de-
livered. Such logs would be open to
inspection by Government radio Of
ficials.
Federal laws concerning libel and
slander may have to be modified to
suit radio broadcasting, he points out,
for IL the broadcaster retains less con.
troll over matter to be broadcast than
has the editor of a newspaper, his
liability to damages for slander should
be limited.
The creation of representative ad-
visory council in every broadcast
studio is advocated as a means of aid
ing the owner or operator in select.
ing his programs. Membership on
such committees, it is held, should in
clude local men of recognized ability.
representing all creeds, sects and
shades of political and civil opinion.
Such an advisory body it is believed
would insure free speech to radicals,
fundamentalists. liberals, orthodox,
modernists and conservatives on
mooted topics. The radio listener, he
contends, is not required to listen: he
can tune out a station and seek some.
thing he likes.

TUBE PLACEMENTS.
Position Is Strong Factor in Get
ting Results.

Sometimes the radioist is puzzled
because the new tube he installs in
the set does not seem to produce the
anticipated betterment. He Is in
clined to blame the tube or assume
that the old ones are better than he
thought.
The explanation of this is simple
enough when it is considered that diff
ferent tubes Of the set are Of varying
importance to the Anal product. A
slightly better tube in the role of
first stage of radio will show greater
results than better one in the role
OF last stage audio. Sometimes a
better tube in the role Of detector
means nothing at all.
In the case of a neutrodyne, where
tubes must be balanced for best re-
suits. the substitution Of just one
better tube may produce some unex.
pected results. The radio owner
should not be puzzled If a new tube
in the wrong place actually makes
the set poorer.
