GALLEY SEARCH
 MAY TAKE HOMES
FiSheTi0Ik on Lake NeIni Mourn
 Loss Of Mirror Of Diana"

Ncmi, Italy. Sept. IS tP)-Sad are the simple folk of beautiful Ncmi as they look down on their lake which once was called the Mirror of Diana" And anxious are their faces, too, for they are fearing the loss of their homes.
 The governments efforts to drain the lake in order to recover two galloys of the Emperor Caigula, sunk in it's many centuries ago, have mad for the fisherfolll of Nemi an as- poct different from the rest of Italy. While Rome and the world have ap- pIauded the governments initiative in pumping out the water. the Ne misunderstanding an American-born princcss-have been saddcncd and disappointed.
 They believe that two catastrophes will happen to them. each as bad as the other, One is that their bcauti- ful lake will disappear forever, for ,1cy are not sure that it will ever fill uo again. Already the beauty of the Gem of the Alban Mountains" has fled. Precipitous wooded slopes $50 feet high. used to extend right down to the waters edge. Now q broad mudbank. left by the rcccdng waters, circles the lake. One slope, moreover, has been cut into make q road.
 But even worse than that, think the Nemians. is the possible loss of their homes. The village is pcrchcd on steep hill overlooking the lake, As the water diminishes, the pres sure of the water against the sids of the hills diminishes, too, and the land has tendency to slide.
 Already cracks have begun to ap- pear in their houses, caused, they think by a shifting of the earth, which they trace to the transforma- ton of the lake. They fear that their homes may be preCipitated to the bottom of the slope. The palace of Princess Ruspoli-an American lady who married an Italian prince-has developed cracks. too.
 l nc llSNeTlntll WHO uSeu to get generous haul every morning from the lake arc shaking their fists ir secret at the pumping operations going on night and day. Their fish ing is no longer good. and they be liovo the lake will never be kind tc them again.
 The question of where the water of Lake Nomi comes from has no' 1 been settled. Either there are hidder ] springs or the lake draws it's sub
 stance from the watershed of tho surrounding hills. In any event, I will be a long time before it fills III 1 again.
 The Nemians look from thci'
 ruined lake to the galley partly 'nn

however, that both WTIC and VEAL will exert pressure to beR upon the radio commission for diff ferent wave lengths, although these, due to their scarcity and occupation by other stations, are hard to find.

 One thing is certain, neither WTIC or VEAL are likely to broadcast at the same time.

WTIC IS MULTIPLIED IN RADIO DISPUTE
Will Remain Silent Pending
 Arrangement With VEAL

Although not entirely unexpected, it is with something of a shock that radio listeners in this city learned to- day that WTIC would be off the air for a few days until some arrange ment could be made with WBAL, Baltimore, regarding a division of time.
 The division of time is made necessary as result Of WTIC hay ing it's new and more powerful trans hitter ready for action. So long as WT1C remained only 25O watts in power-which was the power utiliz- ed with the old transmitter-it could broadcast at 500 meters, which on receiving sets registered at the up- per part of the dial. But the minute WT1C was prepared 10 use 5000 watts, which is the power ready for use with the new transmitter, it has to broadcast at 2S3 meters, which is the identical wavelength given to WBAL.
 The reason for this is that the former wavelength does not permit the use of high power, due 10 inter- ference with other small-powcrcd stations pn the same wavelength.
 VEAL broadcasts at 5000 watts. the same as WTIC is ready to use. Manifestly both stations cannot use the same wavelength with this pow CT. Until today WBAT. has had full tune on this wavelength. and as it is an important broadcasting station owned by an important company the Consolidated Gas Company of Baltimore-the management is un- derstood to be not inclined to take to division of time with WTIC very kindly, The Hartford station. also now an important station with the outlook for 50.OOO watts in the near future, is also not pleased at the prospect of dividing time with another station, it is said.
 The impasse between WTIC and VEAL is somewhat similar to that which existed between WGY at Schenectady and the other General Electric station in California, which went to the courts. The two instances are the only two in the history of American broadcasting where high powered stations failed to jibe on the use of wavelengths. Many stations are forced to divide time with one another, but they usually are small powered local stations which was the status of WTIC before the new transmitter was finished.
 By turning itself into a high powered station able to cover a large part of the country when ether con- ditions are favorable, WTIC is faced with ruling of the Radio Commis- sion that works to it's disadvantage and, in the opinion of many observ- CTS, takes the bloom off the situation to quite an extent. It is believed,
