Steps are to be taken Immediately
by NJ. Al. Leese, owner of WMAL,

why full time operation should be

out that under the new assignments

States and ~ such IL seems absurd,
I1eese declares that but one full
time brnadcAst station IL permitted
to exist here.
Protests Coming In
The mana gers Of the other Wash
ington radio stations have an.
nounced themselves as satisfied to
give the new ALLEGATIONS q fair trial.
The protests that are already being
received by the commission and are
expected to pile up from day TO day
come from all sections of the coun.
try, however, particularly from tho
Middle West, where the realIocation
scheme works the greatest hardship.
The West il not alone in 4ts troubles,
however. Some Eastern broadcast
ers are hard hit.
4 What is called q. "limfteds list il
published with the new ALLEGATIONS,
Of which WGY. Schenectady, is one.
Under the order of the commission
the stations on this limited list
must share time with stations given
lower power during the evening.
The WGY change was made to
solve the problem of squeezing New
Works array of high power into the
limits imposed on each zone.

ject to the maximum power order.
Its wave changes from $50 to 760
kilocycles. d r.
New 5O,0O0,watt stations were
provided for in California and
Texas. XII, Los Angeles will be
the high powered Coast station. Its
power was increased to 5000 watts,
with a construction permit for

WBAP, Fort Worth, Tex. gets a
construction permit for $4,000 watts.
It's wave length changes from 500
to 800 kilocycles.

vided, chiefly in the South. Ad-
ditional places have been reserved
for the under-stationed zones. to be
utilized as soon as stations are
built, it was stated.
Seventy-four cleared channels are
provided, 40 of then-eight in each
zone-reserved for stations with
minim IN power of 5000 watts.

tumultuous welcome from Dur

audience right out of their seats

Burns and Tommy Moran, Hap

was deservedly popular with the
audience.
Evelyn Murray, a dainty blonde
with q pleasing voice, and dancing
ability above the average, won
many rounds of applause with her
offerings. Gertrude Forman was
much In evidence with her dancing
and singing.
The chorus is a fast.moving

Leona Powers Hopes
To Be Back in 1929

Miss Leona Powers, the. diminu-
tive red head and leading LADY
with the National Theater Play
ers, looks with sadness toward
the closing of the summer STOCK
engagement in Washington. She
regrets to see the coming OF the
end Of this season which she con-
siders one of the most satisfactory
Of her career in the theater.
"I just hate TO think about
packing my trunks and leaving
Washington" said Miss Powers IN
her dressing room the other
day. "All my friends have been
so good to me and the audineces
have been so enthusiastic about
my work that / feel / would like
to remain on and play at least
two or three weeks more-b1lt
we cannot always do what we
want to do. The regular winter
season will begin September
IS and &. is therefore imperative
that we of the summer season
should, close our tents and, like
the Arabs, silently steal away.
All we can hope is that we will
be back next summer and that
the audience will he just as large
and Just as enthusiastic.

Farther Than Forecast
The. changes in the ALLEGATIONS
made in accordance with the new
radio. law by the Federal Radio
Commission went considerably
farther than had been forecast. Not
only was the order published
making re-aliocations OF wave lengths
and power first in equal parts ac-
cording to five geographical zones
and then in accordance with popu-
lation among the States OF those
zones, but two other orders Of i'm
portance were promulgated this
morning.
The second order provided that
the maximum power of all stations
-. t4A
proviso, however, that higher power
could be used for experimental pur-
poses at the discretion Of the COM
mission.
A third order, on its face, seemed
to hit directly at chain broadcast
ing, although the word chain"
was not mentioned in the order. by
directing that no high power sta.
ton provided with cleared chan.
mel should broadcast the same pro-
gram simultaneously for more than
one hour per day between the hours
OF p. m. and midnight, unless
such stations were separated by
a distance of at least 800 miles, or
were broadcasting on the same
wave length, or had been granted
special permission by the commits
sion because of some extraordinary
public service or national event.
The order Is not such a revolu-
tionary affair as it appears, how
ever. as there are but 40 of these
cleared channel stations. eight to
each zone. and there is little chance
that they would be broadcasting
the same chain program when
closer together than 300 miles I'M
less the program happened to be
an address by the President of the
United States or candidate for
President or the reception of some
one like Lindbergh or world
series baseball games, all OF which
would come under the heading of
