TAKING LISTENERS
MEETS DIST V0R
Leaders in Radio Industry
See Harm in Plan While
Brodacasting Improves.
BY G. +. BUTTERFIELD.
Associated Press Radio Editor.

Another suggestion that America s
listeners give closer support to radio by
means of a small tax apparently did
not hit q responsive chord in the radio
industry.
Acting as spokesman, Ernest Kauer,
president of a Providence, r. l., tube
plant, commented:
Senator w. Brookhart of Iowa is
quoted as suggesting tax on receiv-
that the tax would render unnecessary
such commercial support from advertis-
ing sponsors as broadcaSting now has.
Maybe 1t would but 1t also would put
the Government in the position Of
censoring broadcasting.
Broadcasting Is Improving.
"Broadcasting has been getting bet
ter every year. Getting its support
from sponsors, as at present, is nor
NAL and sound economic method. To
drop this method and substitute y
direct tax on set owners, I believe
would be harmful to the radio in
dustry."
The drive continues to cast aside
the obstacles lying in the path leading
to success in radiovision.
Another experiment looking toward
that end has gone through its early
stages. Paul A. Kober. Newark, N. j.,
engineer, who has spent many years in
laboratories dealing with the question
of light transmission. developed a proc
ess whereby pictures and sound were
sent by visible light and ultraviolet
rays.
Beam Of Light Used.
The method employed used q beam
of light from a mercury induction lamp,
which glowed and darkened at the ter
rife speed of 10000, 900 times a second
In the tests the transmitter was about
so feet away from the receiver. From
bulb in the transmitter there emitted
ray of light of different colors. chang
ing in intensity in step with the voice
of man speaking into a microphone.
1t acted similarly in the receiver.
The mercury induction lamp. Mr.
Kober said, first was developed fer
therapeutic work. but has been found
to have the characteristics needed in
light meditation.

tanned from the so-called supporting"
programs provided by advertisers. 1t
would be impossible for broadcasting
studios to provide the programs which
they now offer were it not for the use
of the radio in advertising. The first
programs were primitive affairs COM
pared to the nightly list of great enter
tanners now put on the air. The radio
industry, naturally, has provided and is
still providing a vast amount of air en-
tertainment by its sponsored" pro-
grams. Your question. with its subordi-
nate questions, for the discussion of
which I lack space here, requires a
more detailed answer which am send
ing you personally, and which will pro-
vide the basis of later discussion in
this column.

fine artistic WORTH and like to sing
it. but just why one city should yearn
for it more than any other Is beyond
me. Philadelphia has as much musical
culture as any city III America with its
magnificent orchestra, its splendid pat
ronage of good chamber music and its
generally sophisticated taste, and one
would expect to be looking for modern
composers. However, as I have said,
Ben Bolt is aaSong of fine qualities and
beautiful traditions, and maybe that
explains 1t. 1t would be reasonable. at
any rate, to find this mellow old city
preferring the traditionally great music
to the possibly ephemeral modern
brand.
Several times I have noticed this
queer sectional preference for certain
songs. Columbus. Ohio, for instance,
always wants Meet Me by Moonlight
Alone" another grand old song. New
York seems to like Drink to Me Only
With Thine EyeS"-somewhat to my
surprise, as always thought you could
drink TO New Yorker with almost any
thing these days. Boston, one might
think. would want highbrow songs, but
not at all. 1t wants the Snappy jazz
jingleS. Chicago. curiously enough, has
a leaning toward old English folk songs
Can you beat that? And with Bill
Thompson Oh the job, too.
Modern Studio Is Cool.
In the early days of radio broad
casting the coming of Summer was an
annual horror to studio workers. We
now have no such fears. Here it is,
with the thermometer climbing and
nobody cares. Here's the reason.
The ancient broadcasting studio-and
six years is an epoch in this business
was a sweat box. Housed in an ordi-
nary Office building. 1t had to be- The
slightest opening for ventilation was
sure to let in some horrible intrusive
noise which would gum up the finest
program We could put on.
I remember one terrible, blistering
night at 1875 Broadway when, stripped
almost down to our dungarees, we were
putting out program which included
the "Barcarole," with its cool ripping
waters and moonlight. 1t was madden
ing to be showing this sylvan stuff
when we were sizzling and boiling, but
there was no way out. We made sure
Or thought We did-that every door
and window was plugged tight. In the
midst of one of the ironically cool
moonlight passages. the voice of the
president of the company came over
the phone from Long Island.
ucNcI hHcH lIldL Tie love tales OF
Hoffman had railroad train in it." he
said. What have you been doing?
Did you get the Grand Central to run
switch engine up to the Studio?" We
protested that everything was tight,
but 1t wasn't. One window had been
left open about half an inch, and the
roar of an elevated train, blocks away,
was joining up with the "Barcarole. We
could not hear it in the studio, but
there 1t was, filtering through the mike
and spelling the music.
The building which we occupy was
built, like the modern cold-air theater,
with the best scientific provisions for
GOODNESS and ventilation The studios
are absolutely barred from outside
| noises, and yet are as cool and airy
as one could wish. Executive Offices
are all on the outside, with the studio in
the center.

More attention was paid TO the acoustic
properties of cabinets. and provision
was made for a proper battle board for
the dynamic.
In cabinets The trend seemed def
nitely toward the console and away
from the table set. All receivers were
designed to take more compact, hous-
ings, adapted for the modern home and
the small apartment.
Radio furniture makers have been ac-
tive in refining details, and modern
istic models won attention. Cabinets
to match home furnishings were shown
in many period designs.
Volume Control Automatic.
Automatic volume control was an
addition to many sets, and q new sta
ton selector dial was shown. Remote
control by means OF a 50-foot cord and
armchair turning control box was an
improvement intended to take the
"drudgery" away from manipulating
the receiver. This was accomplished
by including small motor in the re-
ceiver to turn the dial the motor being
operated from the control box.
One of the features of the show was
the new Kyle condenser speaker. 1t

Speaking

N radio broadcasting you soon learn
that a noise doesn't necessarily nm
ish as the same kind OF a noise 1t
Il started out to be. When we first
began adding a few noise access
series to some dramatic recital-having
to do with shipwreck, or some such
dramatic happening-our results were
painful indeed. What was intended to
be roar OF the gale sounded more like
busted steam pipe. When we got
down to business, in staging radio
dramas, we had to master this problem
and we did used the editorial I'VE"
merely as a member Of a broadcasting
staff and not in the Lindberghian sense.
Radio Is rapidly developing school
OF astonishingly clever and reSourceful
noisemakers. Many persons have asked
me how they do 1t. At the risk OF ex-
posing inside studio technique here are
some Of the main secrets:
Crying baby-This is a mechanical
device. made by a toy company and in
volying the same principle as a squawk-
ing doll. Extended experiments showed
that this thin squeak was translated by
the mike" into q realistic baby yell.
Battle noises-Flat sticks laid on
heavily on a bulky. leather pillow; two
professional "whizzers" standing close
to the mike and impersonating whiz-
zing bullets by making a queer kissing
noise. Pine career open to any boy
who wants to become an expert whizzer.
Paper Bag for Pistol Shot.
Pistol shot-Nothing to beat the old
paper bag-inf1ated and smacked with
the open palm.
Choo -ciloo of a train--Knotted rope
drawn through q hole in drum.

crumpled close to the mike.
