Dinner concerts have an i'm

program, but the dinner hour in
Washington varies. Why, then
cannot the program managers OF
WRC, WMAL and VOL get to-

will be given a continuous pro-
gram of dinner music between 5

Radio announcers who speak
English as she is supposed to be
spoken are to be rewarded by the
Academy of Arts and
Letters, according to an announce
ment yesterday by Hamlin Gar
land, chairman of the academy
in charge of a good
diction contest. the details of
which are to be broadcast next
night through the Nation

net works.
The academy already has award
ed medals for good diction on the
stage, and it's extension to the
footlights of radio is destined to
create keen competition among
the announcers, as well as mark
4 unique event in radio history.
The academy's purpose in max
ing the award is a meritoriouS
one. Millions of people never
hear English spoken with reason
able correctness. Into these
groups the voice of the announcer
should bring cultivated speech
not elocution-but good English
enunciated. The award
ing of the medal will encourage
the cultivated announcer, the
man who knows how to use the
terms correctly, who

| and who Is an almost unconscious
exemplar Of good English speech.
There are more than 600 radio
stations in the United States with
nearly 1000 official announcerS
whose voices are heard by ap-
proximately 40,000,000. In this
almost universal dependence on
radio for entertainment, the part
which the announcer is to play
becomes more and more impor-
tant. He comes to be a teacher,
in some cases, a hero to his list

What the effect of this compe-
tition will be, no one can prophe-
Sy, but the value of the discussion
which will arise and the interest
taken in it, cannot fail OF helpful
ness.

munica ton was received from him

Thank you for the pleasure

please continue your efforts
to get clear transmission on

PARIS NOW REPORTS
SENDING OF MOVIES
Inventor Claims Pictures Are Not
Lini*ed in Size by
His Device.

PARIS P).-A device for the trans
mission of moving pictures by radio,
in which the size of the image trans
mitted is not limited, has been de-
yeloped by a Luxembourg scientist liv-
ing near Paris.
While the transmission and repro
lection of films by wireless has been
accomplished by various methods, the
inherent limitations Of previous expert
ments have prevented them from at
tanning commercial importance. With
the device of the Luxembourg man the
perfection of the image reproduced in
creaSeS with the size OF the screen, 1t
is said. The inventor says the reverse
has been true in former experiments.
the size of the image being limited TO
dimensions of q few inches and in
capable of enlargement without loss OF
clearneSS.
Another advantage Is that the use
OF a positive Aim is eliminated, the
transmission being accomplished by
using the negative film direct. This is
said to be an important consideration
in the rapidity with which pictorial
news items, for example, could be dis
played after the original picture has
been taken and the negative film de-
Veloped
The transmission and reproduction
of the film do not necessarily take
place at the time the negative is pro-
jected into the apparatus. The impress
sion of the film is electrically trans
mitted and magnetically conserved on
a series of fine metallic ribbons to per-
init its subsequent wireless transmission
for exposure on the screen either i'm
mediately or at later time.
The conservation of the intermediate
magnetic impression being more or less
indefinite, the wireless transmission of
the picture can be repeated without
further recourse to the original negative
fllm. The registration OF sound can
be accomplished simultaneously with
that of the moving picture itself.

RIGID REGULATION
OF RADIO PLANNED
Representative HuddIeSton
Proposes Permanent Board
, With Added Authority.

Taking the 'jazz and piffie" out of the
radio programs and subjecting the sta
tions themselves to rigid regulation
under a permanent Federal Radio Com
mission with authority to fix rates for
broadcasting time and otherwise keep
stations within bounds" as public util-
tiles and instrumentalities of interstate
commerce is the aim of Representative
Huddleston OF Birmingham Ala.
The author of the first bill to be
introduced this session to make the
commission a permanent agency. Mr..
Huddleston hopes to get its prompt
enactment. In the opinion of legislative
wiseacres. however. his chances are
'slin." The bill has been referred TO
the House committee on the merchant
marine and fiSherieS-the normal pro-
cedure.
Senator Hits ReallOcatiOn.
In the upper house Senator Watson
OF Indiana, chairman of the committee
on interstate commerce, is much rlled
about the reallocation and announces
his intention of instigating an investiga-
ton of the radio situation. This dove
tails with the views of Senator Dill OF
Washington, to have listeners, engineers
and others testify on the reallocation,
particularly with reference to what he
believes the ''insidious effects" OF opera
tions of stations with high power
Senator Watson is particularly in
dignant about conditions in Indiana,
which, he holds, did not get its Just
share of channels under the new set
up. He already has asked the commits
sion to reconsider the ALLEGATION as 1t
affects that State. which request Is
''under adviSement." But the general
radio situation is what would be in
vestigated by the committee chairman.
HuddIestOn Demands Outlined.
Radio brosdcasting service to the
General public without discrimination
and for reasonable rates is demanded
by Mr.. Hu6dleSton. At present, he
saws, enormous charges are made Tor
time on the air. out of proportion to
the services performed or the amount
of investment In the stations" In his
proposed amendment to the radio act,
which first would make the commission

member proposes that all stations shall

charge and compensation to be fixed
from time to time by the Federal Radio
Commission"
Says Stations Need Regulation.
The tremendous force of radio in the
dissemination of information seems to
require rigid regulations of stations, he
asserts. This he recalls, was evidenced
during the presidential campaign, dur
ing which several stations are declared
to have turned away persons who wish
ed to campaign via the radio for one
party, while they gave free rein to the
opposing party.
"Broadcasting stations have too much
power to be left entirely in private
hands" says Mr.. Huddleston. 1T is
absurd for them to exist for private
purposes with no real regulation. In
the course of time / hope to see them
devote their time to public education
and information, for they are too val
liable to be wasted on jazz and piffie."

A Commission still striving
Wv to eliminate the hetero-
dyne on WRC'S carrier
wave. WMAL is now experiencing
similar trouble which will have 20
be removed before the broadcast
ing situation in Washington meets
the general approval OF critical
listeners.
The interference with WMAL is
more pronounced on Sunday
nights, which indicates that a sta
ton operating apparently only on
that night is responsible to some
extent. at least. An investigation
by commission engineers would
undoubtedly disclose the source.
The noise sounds like the whiS-
tie of an old-fashioned steam pea
nut roaSter; it is not of the howl
ing, shrieking, blood-curdling type
that once tore asunder the pro-
grams of WRC. Last Sunday
night, in particular, the whistle
spoiled reception of every attrac-
tion broadcast by WMAL in con-
junction with its associates in
the Columbia Broadcasting SyS-
tenn, being particularly noticeable
during the dialogue between
Moran and Mack, the two black

quency persists, despite the efforts
of the Radio Commission and
engineers at the station to de-
termine the cause. The reduc-
ton in power of the two Kansas
City stations, which share the
WRC wave channel, reduced the
interference somewhat, but it is
yet strong enough to constitute
an annoyance.
A test was supposed to have
been conducted in the wee Sma'
hours of last Monday morning to
learn whether the Kansas City
stations are still causing the
trouble, but the result was not
made known. Capt. Guy D. Hill,
engineer of the Radio Commission,
had planned to liSten-in during
the test. but he failed to hear his
alarm clock when it went off
about 5 am.

Among the unending vortex OF
mixed criticism and commentator
of the Radio Commissions Arm
iStice day broadcaSting upheaval
there came last week a letter of
an entirely different tenor - one
that contained a genuine, con-
Structive suggestion on a subject
so vital to hundreds of Washing
ton radio listeners who have come
to regard music as much of q
component part of dinner as
the dessert.
Radio is largely responsible for
this, as the radio program makers
no doubt realize, but in working
out the difficult and exacting
schedules it is apparent they have
at least overlooked one important
factor-the time that most local
listeners sit down to their dinner
tables.
The letter came from Robert
Sterling Yard, member of the
executive committee of the Ma
tional Parks Association, with
headquarters at 1912 H street. 1t
follows:

CHANGES IN POWER
MADE BY COMMISSION
Defects in New ALLEGATIONS Being 8
Made by Altering Waves
of Stations.

Changes in the frequency and power
of broadcasting stations are beig made
from time to time by the Federal Radio
Commission in an effort to remedy re-
ception defects as they develop.
Among the recent alterations Is the
shifting of KTAB Oakland. Calif.)
from 1920 to $50 kilocycles to eliminate
cross-talk interference between stations
in that locality.
On the recommendation Of Commits

GUST GEARHART
CALLED BY DEATH
TUESDAY NIGHT

Gust Gearhart, resident of Car
bon county for % yeas, passed away
at his home in Washoe Wednesday
morning. He had been actively en-
gagged in his daily work, master mech
anic at the A. G. M. mine, for the past
16 years, and had not complained of
illness. He was found to have passed
away in his sleep during the night,
and it is presumed it was caused by
heart trouble.
Mr.. Gearhart leaves to mourn his
passing the faithful wife, Elizabeth;
five sons and four daughters, Gustave,
John, Clifford, William, Benjamin, all
of whom live at home, and Mrs. G.
McClelland of Red Lodge, Mrs. Den
mis- Corbett of Columbus, Florence and
Katherine, who also live at home.
Several brothers and sisters survive.
Mr.. Gearhart was married to Eliza
beth Carr in Livingston, Montana.
He was born at Neenah, Wis, and
came to Montana % years ago, set
Ting in Livingston. He worked at
Livingston, Cokedale and Bridger as
carpenter and miner and finally set
tied in Washoe.
