RADIO EQUALITY
ISSUE IS RAISED
Riuht of Candidates to Share
Alike in Service Raises
Legal Question.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Political equality under the radio law
is made an issue for the first time in
a letter of complaint to the Federal
Radio Commission from Maurice w.
Beckhardt, Philadelphia attorney. He
charges Station WIFI. Philadelphia
member of the red" network Of the
National Broadcasting Co. with politi-
cal discrimination in violation Of the
equal opportunity provision Of the
radio act of 1927
Mr. Beckhardt wrote that on the
evening of July II Station WIFI signed
off In the midst Of chain program
booked to include biographical discus
sions of the Republican and Democratic
nominees for Vice President. The en-
tire speech relating to Senator Curtis.
the Republican candidate, was carried
by WIFI, but the station did not carry
the part of the program relating to
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
nominee, according to Beckhardt.
Holds Action Partisan.
The Curtis speech was said to par
take of partisan character because of
its eulogiStic nature. Beckhardt as
serts that. in shutting out the Robin
son speech, WIFI violated section 10 Of
the radio law, which declares that 'if
any licensee shall permit any person
who is a legally qualified candidate for
a public Office to use broadcaSting
station he shall afford equal oppor-
tunities to all other such candidates
for that office in the use of such broad
casting station"
Investigation developed that the July
II program was one OF the series of
non-partisan broadcasts arranged by
the League of Women Voters in order
to stimulate interest in public affairs,
Station WEAF, New York City, and
the red" network of the N. B. c. car
ried it, WIFI getting it from that source
The biographical sketches of the two
Senate leaders were presented as being
wholly partisan. William Tyler
Page, clerk of the House of Representa-
tives. told the story of the career Of

Senator Curtis. Senator Pittman of
Nevada told the story OF his colleague.
Senator Robinson
It is interesting to note that both
Senator Curtis and Senator Robinson,
as the respective floor leaders of their
parties in the Senate, had spoken per-
sonally several months earlier--long be-
fore their nominations--on the same
program in the same series broadcast
over the red" network under the
auspices of the League of Women
Voters.
Legal Issue Involved.
No violation of the law was seen by
the commission in WITS failure to take
the second hall of the program, be-
cause it was presented out of New York
as an educational and non-partisan
feature. However. great interest was
manifested by members Of the COM
mission in the legal complications in
volved in the Beckhardt complaint.
The law prescribes an equal opportu-
nifty before the same microphone for
candidates for the same Office. VIII that
be construed to mean an equal opportu-
nifty for persons speaking Tor the canol-
dates for a particular office? Obviously,
the candidates will not make all the
campaign speeches.
station WIFI obtained its program
from a chain, and chose tos leave the
network in the midst of it. Acknowledge
ing for the sake of argument that the
chain program was of political nature
is the chain or the station responsible
for the forbidden discrimination
charged by Beckhardt?
These questions will undoubtedly be
raised during the national and locai
campaigns this year. They remain 10
be decided by the courts. but their pres
ent indefiniteneSS certainly demands
circumSpect policy on the part OF the
station managers during the ensuing
months.
The National BroadcaSting Co. and
the Columbia Broadcasting system, the
two great chain systems of the country,
have precluded the possibility OF great
controversy on the score Of political dis
elimination by Offering all the parties
the use of their facilities on an equal
and impartial basis. The same opportu-
nity to buy time on the air will be
open to each, and the regular CONNER
cial rates will be charged.
VIII Have S5 on HoOk-up.
The notification ceremonies and ac-
ceptance speeches of Candidates Hoo
ver and Smith are to be broadcast
by great networks this month-~thc last
free use of the chains to be given dur
ing the campaigns.
Secretary Hoover will have at least
IS stations hooked up out of Palo Alto
August II and Gov. Smith is therefore
assured of an equal number in the
hook-up for his speech August %.
Here another legal question arises
Are the same stations which agree

STATION WGY ASKS
| INCREASED POWER
Requests Authorization of
10000 Watts as an
Experiment.

An application is pending before the
Federal Radio Commission from station
WGY. Schenectady, N. Y for tenn
porary authorization of 10000 watts Of
power. with view TO testing reception
conditions throughout the large area OF
the country that this power would serve.
This application. If granted. will repre-
sent the largest ALLEGATION of power on
record to a hroadcaSting station in the
domestic band.
The importance Of this application,
both to listeners and hroadcaSterS. is
widespread. Previous experiments show

tion of heterodyning and other inter-
ference. and If the new tests measured
Up to expectations. probably would re-
suit in the permanent ALLEGATION OF
high power 10 many other stations.
Has $4,000 Watts.
Station WGY, operated by the Gen
eral Electric Co, has an assigned power
OF $4,000 watts. the maximum now ac-
corded any broadcasting station. Last
year from August i to September is
the station was authorized TO broadcast
with power up to 100000 watts to as
certain the sweep of such programs
anj the extent TO which static and
other interference would be eliminated.
Listener reports, both to the commits
sion and the station, generally COM
nended the results.
Whether the commission will grant
the application is problematical The
fact that Al states and eight provinces
Of Canada reported that they had OBJ
tanned exceptionally good reception
from WGY when il operated on 100000
watts may have a bearing upon the
commissions final determination. not
alone on the application for continued
experiments. but also upon regular
power assignments TO broadcaSters III
the high power category The inform3-
ton also would be of particular value
To the commission in the drafting of It's
plan for reallocation of stations equally
among the five radio zones, in that 1t
would either fortify or discount the
recommendations of some radio engi-
neering experts that high power be as
signed to stations of qualified public
merit
Reports Favorable.
There were adverse reports from lis
feners, too, but according 70 WGY' S
analysis these represented only IA per
cent Of the total number. These poor
reception reports were in the region be-
tween 81 aEsC lou KTliltS UA OCnEIieNlS4IS
and several cases investigated, WGY
states. indicate that they were due TO
side band distortion appearing at re-
ceivers that were not involved with the
reception of the ground waves at the
normal power of the station.
In its final analysis the matter of six
figure power ALLEGATION brings up the
question whether a limited number Of
high-powered stations should be per-
mitted TO dominate certain channels,
with local stations interspersed so as
to care for local programs with low
assignments of power, or whether a
maximum of $4,000 watts. the present
extreme. should be continued. Some
engineers argue that high power eiifni-
mates heterodyning and the background
Of hiss and static and provides better
service for greater proportion of the
populace than the present low and in
termedsate power assignments.
