David Sarnoff, vice president and gen.
eral manager OF the Radio Corporation
OF America.
IN a speech before the University
Club OF Boston last week, Mr.. SarnofY
referred 10 the latest DEVELOPMENTS in
sight transmission and predicted that 1t
would be given as much public interest
eventually as sound broadcasting.

we have seen radio teleyision emerging
from the laboratory and preparing TO
enter the home. The demonstration
made recently at Schenectady, impress
siVe as 1t was showed an art that is
yet in the 'earphone" stage OF de-
velopment. Many technical. broadcast
ing and service feature hurdles must be
ieaped before the art will become firmly
established In the home. Nevertheless
lis direction Is sure and It's progress Is
inevitable
THE mission OF television is TO bring
10 the home the panorama OF life of the
great world outside. To large extent,
radio already has brought the opera.
the concert stage. the theater 10 the
fireside. Television will complete the
picture by bringing 10 the home the
visual spectacle made possible by the
stagecraft OF the opera and the theater:
the stirring events of life that must be
seen AS well as heard in order to make
their due impression

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Is radio emerging TO the stage OF an
art? Are discussions regarding its well
fare to be centered more particularly on
the entertainment programs themselves
on their interest 70 the public, their
artistic content and eSthetic elements
rather than on tubes and kilowatts or
other technical appurtenances?
These questions have been raised and
are being discussed in radio circles In
New York as result OF the first Radio
Round Table" devoted TO broadcast pro-
gram discussion exclusively
Inaugurated by the EvereadY Hour as
period for discussion Of ways and
means OF bettering the general run OF
Faoio programs. this first Radio Round
Table" was the feature OF dinner given
TO al OF the metropolitan newspaper
radio critics. George Furness. director
o. the hc~'.. vino presided stated that a
similar Radio Round Table" would be
feld each year. and that directors Of
other prominent broadcast programs
would be invited for a whole hearted in
eercnange OF opinion on the ali-impor-
tant subject Of radio entertainment.
In the discussion that followed, when
the round table was thrown open for
general comment. number Of inter-
eSting things were brought out Radio
critics unbOsomed themselves of their
feelings regarding number OF pro-
grams. The CONSENSUS OF opinion seemed
70 be that that radio program is most

REAL DISTANT RADIO
EXCHANGES POSSIBLE
Listeners-1n Located in New York
Able to Hear Signals Sound
in England.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
SCHENECTADY, N. Hunters
seeking real distant radio signals now
have the opportunity Of listening to
broadcasts from England.
While such events are not yet a daily
occurrence. station WGY has from
time to time rebroadcast music and
speech picked up from across the At
lantic Only when conditions are right
are the English programs put on the
air In America. but engineers of the
General Electric Co are listening In
each evening To be ready for re-
broadcast.
Officials of WGY say that while the
programs cannot be put on at stated
periods they may be expected any day.
The time usually will be from s to I
pm.
So-operating in the experiments are
engineers of the British Marconi Co.
who are using 5SW at Chelmsford.
England on the short wavelength OF
"a meters in the attempt to provide
programs that can be rebroadcast in
America.
England has been picked up several
times at WGY. and put on the air
again on few occasions. The best
reception was the night of January 5
when the signals were Of quality good
enough to rebroadcast.
In this attempt TO reach foreign
lands WGY sends out its programs on
either 2XAD, 2196 meters, or 2xAF.
32.77 meters. These signals have been
heard in South Africa and South
America as well as all over Europe.

RADIO CHAIN GROUP
HITS PENDING BILL
Proposed Law, Which In
CIudes Abolition of Adver-
tising, Protested.

| By the Associated Press.
| The National Association OF Broad
casters Is preparing to combat the pro-
posed regulation by law of chain broad
| casting, including prohibition of COM
mercial advertising by chain stations.
A paragraph of the bill introduced
by Representative Wallace White. 1r..
Republican. Maine. providing for the
continuation of the Federal Radio
Commission stipulates that the COM
mission have authority to fix the time
during which chain broadcasting may
be carried on. to designate the stations
and to limit the number which may
take part generally or in particular
instance in chain broadcasting, and to
prohibit commercial advertising through
such broadcasting.
Declaration Authorized.
Directors of the broadcas.ers' asso-
citation who discussed the proposed
regulation at a meeting here declared
it would force some OF the best stations
to shut down The revenue derived
from legitimate advertising. they as
serted. is in many instances the sole
source OF funds which enable broad
| casters to operate their stations and
provide high-class entertainment. They
contend it would be just as reasonable
to require magazines or other publica-
tons to omit advertising.
L. S. Baker. managing director OF
the association. declared the chains
had set the pace in the development of
quality programs and that radio listen
ers would protest any substantial cur
tailment of the network. The recent
demand by the people of Denver that
one of their stations be placed on
chain was cited by Mr.. Baker as illus
trating the popular appeal of these
programs.
Sees Value of Service.
Probably the greatest service made
possible by the chains is the broadcast
ing to all parts of the country OF ma
tional events such as the return from
Europe OF Col. Lindbergh and speeches
by the President. Mfr Baker declared
About so OF the $50 broadcasters. who
are members Of the association. are on
one or more OF the five networks

RADIO BROADCAST
SYSTEM FIXTURE
Permanently Established in
Public Mind Is Verdict on
Its Sixth Anniversary.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
NEW YORK.-Its sixth birthday past,
radio broadcasting has become fix-
ture in the public mind.
From toy--and it was not so long
ago that much Of the radio equipment
sold was on display in the toy depart
mentS Of big city stores at Christmas
time--radiO. as the Bel fan knows It,.
has developed into semi-public utility.
The principal object Of the broadcaster
being entertainment, the class of au-
dible features he has presented has won
him warm spot in the hearts OF the
set-owning public.
Pioneer stations still operating prob
ably do not number more than 25.
among the first OF them being KDKA at
East Pittsburgh. Pa.
Now Boast Elaborate Studios.
The art which made itself known in
many cases through the medium of
phonograph records sent out on the air,
now can boast elaborate studios and
high-power station equipment.
Probably the most elaborate studio
layout is that of the National Broad
casting Co. in New York City Four
floors are used in Fifth avenue build
ing to care for the various departments
AStSoooiS AAl OHVi dlliIS VIC tNO FsCS oid-
tionS, WIZ and WEAF. and their chains.
In addition to business Offices of vari-
Gus sorts. eight studios for broadcaSting
are provided. One of these will accom-
modate an audience of $50 persons be-
sides having comfortable quarters for
the broadcast artists.
Besides its headquarters the NBC has
opened offices and studios in Washing
ton and Chicago. Events centering in
those cities are put on its two chains Of
stations through KYW at Chicago and
WRC at Washington.
Millions of Dollars Invested.
Millions Of dollars have been invested
IN broadcasting equipment with as
many millions more spent by the lis
teners
In the early days nearly every set
owner was set builder. This condition
was due partly to the fact that CONNER
cial receivers were difficult TO obtain
and partly because the mere ownership
OF set was not sufficient The natural
mechanical strain in most Americans
asserted itself through the medium Of
the screwdrlver and other tools
This construction desire has been
more or less sated and the number Of
listeners possessing factory-built sets is
growing annually While the expert
menter continues at his task his Job is
becoming more and more intricate.
