BUSIEST IN WORLD
$4,000 Messages Sent and
Received at Arlington
in Last Year.

ny tne ASaoc1ated Press.
The United States station. opera ted
by the Navy at Arlington on a 24hour
shift is the busiest governmental
radio plant in the world. A total Of
$3.50 900 words, or approximately 232.-
900 mesa gees. were sent and received
there in the last year.
Nine transmitters sent this great
volume TO Europe. the Orient. ira ns-
oceanic aviators. iceberg patrol ships
In the North Atlantic and over the
Pacific to the South Seas.
The Navy handles most Of the gov
ernmenfal radio communications and
about SO per cent Of these MESA ges
go through Arlington. These include
communications Of various DEPART
ments. This years business was
greatly augmented by hundreds Of
messages pertaining 20 Lindberghs
flight to Europe and the other trans
ocea mic air voyages.
Eighteen men Of the Navy, under
command Of r. e. Workman. chief
radio electrician. compose the station
personnel.
Five of the nine transmitters are az
the high frequency type. Mr.. Wort
man estimates that more than 80 ner
cent ot tHS messages went VIA snort
waves. The tranSmitters are designed

The newest OF these is the "cornet"
which is capanse Of transmitting sig
mails a all hours OF the day TO stations
in different parts Of the world. This
transmitter is designed to overcome

nails at certain distances, which come
in clear again at greater dista noes. To
obviate this. the "cornet" ia designed
TO send signals which reach all sta

RADIO REGULATION

Inquiry-Many Proposals
to Be Offered.
BY the Associated Press.

Regulation of radio broadCasting
promises to be lively issue in Con
gress after the Christmas holidays.
With Senator Burton Wheeler.
Democrat. Montana. forecasting a
sweeping investigation OF the entire
industry. various measures are slated
for introduction.
While there are members of Con-
gress who believe that the situation
warrants a general investigation of
charges that the Radio Corporation of
America, through the National Broad
casting Co, is seeking to monopolize
the broadcast field. primary consid-
Grafton probably will be given the con-
tinuance in power of the Federal
Radio Commission.
Congress may decide to perpetuaate
the commission, to return the super
vision of broadcasting TO the Depart
ment of Commerce or to create a new
governmental agency to handle the
general question OF communications.
The House a year ago was opposed
to placing radio in the hands of a
commission but compromised with the
Senate and the radio act OF 1927. Great.
ing the commission for a period of
one year. was enacted.
Supporters OF the commission declare
that it has justified its creation by
| bringing order out of chaos i'm the
broadcast channels. On the other
hand, operators Of stations which have
been deprived of desired channels
have carried grievances TO their repre-
sentatives in Congress.
Senator James T.. Watson. Repub-
lican. Indiana. has planned a bill
which would make the radio commits
sion permanent with Jurisdiction over
telephone. telegraph. radio and other
forms of communication. Senator
James Couzens. Republican. Michigan.
has announced his intention TO ask
Congress for the transfer Of the Fed
eral Radio Commission and al powers
now rep0sing in the Interstate Com
merce Commission to special body
on communications.
Senator &. {. Dill, Democrat. Wash
