FRIEDER ICHSHAFEN,
Germany, Oct. 11.-Through a
misty dawn, and with variable
tail winds aiding her, the dirig-
ible Graf Zeppelin started to-
day on the long fight to the
United States.
A band played Deutschland Uber
Allies" and thousands of spectators
many of whom had gathered as
early as midnight-cheered as the
silver-colored craft rose slowly at
7:51 a. m. and finally got under way
one minute later.
The five twelve-cylinder motors
pulled this new sky monster, the
most luxurious air liner thus far
constructed, at a speed Of eighty
kilometers an hour. 1t swung
southwark. gaining altitude nicely.
so Making Trip
She almost had disappeared when
turn was made and the craft
swung back over Friederichshafen
The crowd below cheered at the i'm
preSsive sight while the passengers
aboard-three of whom are Amer
icans-dropped flowers down on the
hangar from which the Graf Yep
pelin had been taken a few min
uteS before.
When at 8:O3 a. m. the Graf Yep
pelin again turned southwark and
at 8:06 a. m. she disappeared. The
morning miStS finally enclosing her.
The start this morning was made
easily and speedily.
DR.. Eckener arrived at the hangar
shortly after 7 a. m. The skies were
overcast, but there was no ground
wind.
He received a canary in a bird
cage that was covered with flowers,
and had it stored in the luxurious
salon. The canary was the official
mascot of the party.
At 7:18 the hangar doors were
opened and the crew and passen-
gers, numbering sixty, started filing
into the building. Three minutes
later every one was ordered aboard
and Eckener assumed his post, in
command of the airship.
Cheered Off by Crowd
E. H. Lehman, the first officer
and observer, then went to the
gondola and at 7:5O the big dirigible
started gliding from the hangar.
The crowd on the ground cheered
loudly as the five motors sputtered
and then began, the unified drone
which the passengers will hear
during the next two days.
The dirigible glided out slowly
and once it was clear, rose slowly
into the air and then started south
ward.
Just before the start was made
officials weighed the ship carefully
and discarded excessive water
ballast.
The passengers all crowded at the
windows as the dirigible swung out
of its hangar and authorities gath
cred flowers which many persons in
the crowd had brought for the pas
Senger and crew.
These we're the flowers dropped
back on the crowd and on the ham

over FriederichSchafen after it had
once assembled.

ARGUE HOW LONG JUDGE
CAN DEFER SENTENCE
Appeals Eighteen Month Continu-
ance to Supreme Court.

Whether judge can accept a
plea of guilty on June IL, 1924, and
not pass sentence until Dec. 6, 1925,
was argued before the Supreme
Court today by George E. Hersh-
man. Gary, and Harry Cause, as
sistant attorney general.
The case is that of Joe VariSh,
Gary, who entered a guilty plea to
possession of a still and was not
sentenced until year and one-half
later. He then was given one to
five years in Indiana State Prison
by Judge Martin J. Smith in Lake
County Circuit Court.
Hershman contended that with so
much time elapsing the judge had
lost jurisdiction. Cause pointed out
that numerous continuanceS had
been recorded officially and thus the
matter was kept alive.

waved it to the crowds. with the
resulting impressions obviously in
his favor.

NIGHTLY HOOK:UPS
BROADCASTERS' AIM
N. 3. c. Head Says Fans
Clear to. Coast May Hear
New York Programs.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Nationwide hook-ups as a nightly
occurrence and other expansion plans
of the broadcasting networks radiating
out of New York City were announced
by officials of the leading chains while
they were in Washington in connection
with the chain station restriction order
imposed by the Federal Radio Commits
sion
Not only will the radio audience west
of the Rockies be able to tune-in a
New York program at stated hours each
evening but Canadian listeners may
soon be able to hear those programs
from their own stations, according to
the president of the National Broad
casting Co., M. H. AyleSworth. This
organization has SIS stations in its "red,
blue" and Pacific Coast networks.
The Columbia Broadcasting System,
now noted chiefly for its superior musi-
cal offerings, proposes to add many new
stations to its string. and has already
embarked upon policy of greater pro-
gram diversity This chain, the only
large rival of the National Broadcast
ing Co.. consists of 81 stations, extend
ing as far West as Kansas City.
Most of the expansion plans Of the
chain organizations depend upon the
practical effects of the reallocation OF
next November IL. This will bring
about change in the wave lengths OF
power assignments of most of theil
member stations, along with nearly al
ether broadcasting stations in the
United States.
Since the commercial existence of the

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-10-03

chains depend upon the audience "cov-
erage" they can insure their clients,
the reallocation is particularly Signifl-
cant to them.
Mr.. Aylesworth said he expected that
more commercial sponsors would soon
elect to send their programs all the way
to the West Coast. The great deterrent
thus far has been the cost of the tele-
phone to the Western end of the net
works regularly fed by the key" sta
lions at New York. The farthest West
ern point reached by the National
Broadcasting Co. is Denver.
Canadian stations have been making
representations to the National Broad
casting Co. for regular membership in
the chains, Mr.. AyleSworth declared.
One of the reasons is the objection
raised in Canada to the advertising,
however indirect, Of American-made
products.
Canadians out of range of stations
on this side of the border or distressed
by fading and static disturbances Oh
the far-fung signals from American
transmitters have urged their local sta
ton managers to seek to join the New
York networks.
The Columbia Broadcasting System,
according to its secretary treasurer, DR..
Leon Levy of Philadelphia is exactly
a year old. Beginning with Is stations,
it now has 81. 1t is soon adding
WLBW, Oil City, Pa. and at present is
tying in WMAL, Washington, D. c.,
for all the major political speeches.

ASK RESTRICTION
!: OF CHAIN PROGRAM
Columbus System Suggests
Limit of Ten Stations on
Cleared Channels.

Broadcasting of chain programs by
Superpowered stations on cleared chan
nels would be restricted to 10 such sta
tons for the entire country by each of
the two chain networks. with local and
regional areas served with their chain
entertainment through low-powered
tranSmitters. under proposal sub
nitted to the Federal Radio Commits
sion by the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tan. The chances for such a PROPOSE
ton, it may be stated upon excellent
authority, are slim"
Meeting with the commission to dis
cusS the chain broadcasting order which
would limit chain stations on cleared
channels to a minimum separation of
800 miles, representatives of the Co
lumbia System suggested that the order
be amended 50 that only two such
chain stations. duplicating programs,
be permitted in each of the five radio
zones. According to observers, this
would mean that the number of high
powered stations on cleared channels
of the National Broadcasting Co. will
be cut in half The Columbia System.
however, with only six stations in the
high-power category. would be enabled
to add to its chain four more stations.
The Columbia System, according to
its representatives, DR.. Leon Levy and
Daniel G. Murphy, both of Philadel-
phia. and Alfred McCosker, manager
of Station WOR, Newark, want to see
action on chain broadcasting by the
commission. They evidently are skep-
tical about the scientific Judgment that
would be exercised by Congress should
the commission fail to take action.
1--WE believe that unrestricted dupli-
cation of programs on cleared channels
would certainly bring such storm of
protest that adverse legislation would
be demanded by the listening public,
and its enactment would be a GER
tainty." they told the commission. ut
is a big question whether such legis-
lation would be scientifically sound.
1T is our belief that permitting the
larger share of high-powered chan
nels to carry identical programs on the
nationwide networks would make chain
broadcasting. which is now the back
bone of radio, a milestone around its
neck. If the listening public tunes-in
the same program at point after point
on its dials, public resentment, famed
by the energetic independent stations,
would do untold harm to the entire
radio structure"
The Columbia System, its represen-
tativeS say, expect to solve the chain
problem by synchronization. Expert
ments have advanced to the point, they
say. where this means of utilizing the
same wave length for broadcasting over
at least two stations without interior
ence has proved entirely feasible.
