RADIO INSOMNIA
BRINGS COMPLAINT
Late Jazz and Early Calls
themes Cause Protests
to Board.

| BY Consolidated Press.
| Radio insomnia is pervading the
country and is reaching its peak In
the apartment house districts,
Early morning caliSthenics and
breakfast entertainment and late night
jazz are the purveyors of this malady.
The summer, or open window" sea-
son. is the period of epidemic preva-
lence and the Federal Radio Commits
sion is the consulting specialist that
knows the cause but is unable to adj
minister the cure.
Hot Summer nights. according to
radio engineers. are the worst for radio
reception. but, based upon the number
of complaints from irate individuals
who like their radio not too early and
not too late. reception must be perfect.
Apartment jewellers who are forced to
keep their windows open because of
sweltering nights and whose rest and
comfort are disturbed by the neigh
boris radio are letting the commission
know about their plight and are asking
for relief.
No Authority.
But the commission has no control
over this situation and politely Is no
tifying the compliments that appeals
should be made to the local authorities
for protection against such nuisances.
.. H. Sandman of Brooklyn. who
evidently likes his sleep. wrote that he
has proper complaint against early
morning broadcaSting Of music for call
isthenics and breakfast entertainment.
For every person benefited there are
many whose rest and comfort are dis
turbed, particularly in apartment houses
during the open window season." he
said. Everybody does not want to be
awakened at Gas am"
He asserts that with broadcaSting
continuing far after midnight and re
Stunning so early in the morning, there is
very little silent time.
Tn menace of radio seems TO be
great in Brooklyn. NJ Fields of that
borough asked that musical programs be
prohibited after ii pm. with the pos
sible exception CT Saturday nights.
"Detrimcnt to Health"
II ask this out of consideration for
those who would like peace after that
time SO that they may enjoy restful
Sleep" he said
Here's the way Mr. Fields lined
things up:
This matter may seem humorous in
q way, but it is detrimental to the gen.
eral health If radio stations are per-
mittted to broadcast jazz until midnight
or am. as some of them do It is
comparable to a jazz band standing
outside ones door and playing to that
hour every night Multiply that over
hundreds of thousands of loud speakers,
each speaker within annoying distance
of hundreds of people, and you get
better conception of this menace Natu-
rally there are other nuiSances, but this
is getting to be predominant one"
