AMAZING RADIO
AGE PREDICTED
IN NEXT DECADE
Astounding Progress Seen
by Commissioner; Gets
Many Requests.
BY ROBERT TALLEY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The
genii who Aladdin summoned by
rubbing his magic lamp never per-
formed more wonders than the radio
is expected to accomplish in the
next few years.
"Broadcasting as we know it to-
day is only very small part of the
radio picture" says o. H. Caldwell
of the Federal radio commission. I'm
economic Importance, broadcasting
is almost insignificant when COM
pared with the other radio situa-
tons that the commission and the
radio supervising authorities are
facing"
The nation is on the eve Of a radio
age, judging from a description Of
the future uses Of radio that Cald-
we'll gave before the House Commit
tee on Appropriations. 4
Many Want Wave Lengths
1.-THE newspapers are coming to
us for wave lengths for transmitting
ncI's, the telephone and telegraph
companies are demanding channels,
the railroads want them for talking
from the trains, for talking between
trains, and even for talking between
caboose and locomotive" Caldwell
continued.
THE electric railways are apply
ing for these waves to communicate
between their cars and for dis
patching purposes. The interurban
bus people are asking for wave
lengths to dispatch buses along the
highways and communicating with
buses so they can operate like
trains.
The oil and mining companies
want short wave lengths to reach
out-of- the-way places.
THE numbering companies have
the same problem. They send their
gangs into deep woods to cut trees
and these gangs move from place tc
place. The radio solves their prob
lem.
Farmers Want Service
Farm cooperative organizations
have asked for wave lengths to COM
municate with their members, to
give market information direct and
information as to prices of products
where to ship, etc.
1.-The motion picture people are
asking for short waves. When ca
mera men and actors go into the
mountains or out in the desert to
take pictures on location they must
have communication with their stu
dos to get supplies.
police and fire authorities are
coming to us for wave lengths for
police alarms and fire alarms.

future OF radio apparently will be
to send photographs or fac-Similes
