new TECHNIQUE
FOR REPORTS
BY RADIO

An wave lengths led In Os1e
direction last evening and re-
ceptiOn was so UNANIMOUSLY
through the home broadcast sta
tiOns that few people attempted
distance getting. There was.
bit OF noise i'm the late evening
and the regular faders exhibited
their specially with considerable
abandon.
The business of letting nature
take its course was the way of the
wave lengths last evening DID
Dame having reported the nOmina-
tons of the candidates to the homes
and having been the chief factos
in getting out the enormous vote
OF yesterday, finished up the job
by distributing the results through
loud speakers along 1929 nfodei
methods. s.
The distinctive feature of the
brOadcasts AZ we heard them was
the presentation of what are usu.
ally dull and tiresome statistical
statments in more or less analyti-
cal rather than q tabulated form.
David Lawrence, in New York, and
Announcer Lynch at WRC, the lat

gether the fragmentary figures
coming in from here and there.
and gave listeners q definite result
obtained by analysing those tig-
ures.
The CONSEQUENCE was that the
mathematics was done by experts IN
the studios and while it was being
done some OF the best entertainers OF
the country were given opportunity
70 while away the hours OF waiting
for definite information as to how
the vote was going.
Frederick William VILE, through
WEMAI, gave most Illuminating and
frequent analyses of the voting that
were interesting to hear, because
VILE is d taIker whose principal
object seems to be to make himself
interesting. He was never. more so
than last evening.
Those who remained tuned to
WMAL., through the evening, how
ever, will get a better idea OF what
we mean by the new technique of
radio reporting when we state that
in the WRC output, for Lawrence
and Lynch together took up no
more time than VILE at the micro
phone, gave the same statements
of the progress OF the count and
left all the remainder of the time
to entertainment features from the
most entertaining OF National
Broadcasting Company stars and
orchestras.
Thus the WRC-Washington Times
broadcast provided music instead of
fragmentary returns. Just as radio
has provided new way to carry
on a campaign, so. under the direc-
ton of Avery c. Marks, jr., in New
York, whose idea the new type Of
program was, radio developed a
new and most entertaining way OF
reporting the result.

who asserted no plan should contem-
plate stations only and not the public,
and who warned against overcrowding
OF the few available wave lengths, as
now. Mr.. Felix said he opposed any
plan OF ALLEGATION based on the premise
that a station serves only Its high-grade
service area National, regional and
local channels, he said, must be selected
in order to give proper service to the
country at large
Unalterably opposing the elimination
of stations was Edward N. NockelS of
VIGIL, Chicago. who represented the
American Federation of Labor. He said
all stations now operating have right
TO exist and the real solution of the
problem Is Il simple division Of time by
all stations. large and small. Retain
the present structure, but require more
stations to divide the hours they use
the same channels. he said, More time
divisions were also urged by Joseph
Gouston OF WAAT. Newark. N. j.. who
advocated frequency separation of
only 6 kilocycles instead of the present
10 and a maximum OF 10000 watts of
power for any station. The 6-kilocycle
proposal met with instant opposition
from Robert II. Marriott, the veteran
radio engineer. who said 20 kilocycles
was really the ideal for attaining the
full scale OF music. He opposed also
power restriction. asserting power in

DEBATE IS STARTED
ON INDUSTRY PLAN
Opponents Claim New Radio
Proposal Is Ambiguous
in Character.

Varying opinion greeted the introduc-
ton Of the industry plan" for equaliz-
ing radio service to the several zones in
conformity with the amended radio law.
Advanced as method Of procedure
rather than as completely evolved
plan, the joint proposal OF the broad
casting, manufacturing and distributing
branches OF the industry Was criticized
mostly for Its ambiguity.
On the other hand, 1t was strongly
supported by many as the most feasible
and practicable basis OF procedure by
the Federal Radio Commission In read
justing the broadcasting structure Of the
country. One OF It's stancheSt propo-
nents. George Furncss OF "Eveready
Hour" fame. stressed the point that It
involves minimum of possible ltiga-
ton and a minimum OF wave length
changes In the existing structure.
The essential difference between the
industry plan and the proposition ad-
vanced by the engineers two weeks ago
is that the former Is flexible procedure
for fitting In all existing stations and
bringing about the elimination Of unde-
sirable stations gradually, II at all, and
the latter would radically reduce the
number Of stations that might operate
simultaneously from the present aggre-
gate OF 600 TO $40 Room for more sta
tiOns would be left only through divi~
sion of time
The question before the commission
now is whether 1t shall take revolution
AIRY steps to effect a perfect state OF
broadcasting, which experts generally
agree will be brought about by the engi-
| neering plan, or go slowly In Its proce-
dure with perfection as goal gradu-
ally TO be attained. The first method
involves station mortality, or at least a
radical reduction In the operating time
permitted most stations, while the other
| recognizes the property rights OF station
owners and at the outset at least ac-
commodities all existing stations.
Starting with about i40 stations to
each zone, the industry would see this
number reduced gradually to possibly
| 10 per zone II is noteworthy that the
industry plan. like the engineers, favors
high power broadcasting, and the
higher the better.
The number OF channels 10 be cleared
| for exclusive use by high-poWered sta
| tiong is not mentioned In the industry
report. Louis Rayeroft. vice president
Of the National Electrical Manufactur~
efs' Association, recommended 10 Tor
use by as many stations, The engineers
proposed so, or the majority of the wave
lengths. Representative Davis suggested
30
win the industry set~up prevent
heterodyning? Supervisor Terrell of the
Department OF Commerce asked, The
chairman OF the broadeasters group
William f. Hedges of Chicago, said the
question of heterodyning IN the inter
venng area between stations was not
involved Under the plan each station
would amply serve It's own servlee range
