RADIO BODY SHAPES

Federal Commission Is Clos

Tie first dc lite structure of the

promised by the Federal Radio Com

Heretofore the work of the commits

Somewhere in the neighborhc5d of
$50 transmitters will be on the air
after the job OF reallocating wave
lengths is completed. This does not
mean, according to Commissioners Bel
lows, that there will be only that many
stations. 1t means that there will
probably be double that number, divid-

many stations C1ing the same wave

Bellows TO be the real key to the situ-

release from radio chaos than any of
the many expediencies that have been
suggested.
