Plans have been made to install
microphones in the Cave of the
Winds and on the Falls View
Bridge above the Niagara Gorge,
to pick up the actual sounds of
the international Festival of
Lights" and relay vivid descrip-
ton of the scenic spectacle.
Graham McNamee and Phillips
Carlin will head corps of radio
announcerS to be posted at points
of vantage for the unique broad
cast.
The program is scheduled dur
ing the weekly General Electric
Hour, which comes into Washing
ton over WRC. 1t is designed to
mark the 250th anniversary Of
the discovery of the falls by
Father Hennepin.
McNamee will be stationed on
the bridge, midway between Can
ada and the United States, to de-
scribe the scene lighted by bat
terry of 100000, 000-candlepower
searchlights, aerial bombs and
electrically lighted airplanes. In

Radio reached out recently to
reunite two old friends. 1t hap
pened during a sermon by DR.. J.
Stanley Durkee, in the Friendly
Hour, a National Broadcasting Co.
Sunday attraction.
DR.. Durkee will be remembered
in Washington as the former
president of Howard University.
He was standing before micro
phone in old Kings Chapel in
Boston. A boyhood chum, Capt.
McKinnon, was walking down a
street in Moncton, New Bruins
wick, 1900 miles away, and heard
a AAddAlOll1Sly 4u1AAAA10A FOAbC WIN
ing out of a loud speaker in a
radio shop. He stopped, listened,
then decided it was his friend,
DR.. Durkee, and went in to hear
the rest of the sermon.
DR.. Durkee, according to re-
ports from his friends, is intense
ly interested in radio and is going
seriously about the business of
mastering the technique of radio
delivery. He is pastor of the old
Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn,
N. Y, made famous by Henry
Ward Beecher and line of
famous preachers.

RADIO RECOGNIZED
FOR INSTRUCTION
Development of Benefit to
Adults and Children Ex-
peCted to Gain.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With a member of President Hoover
cabinet taking official cognizance of. the
educational value of radio in the home
and schoolroom, the development of in
structional broadcasting for both adults
and children is expected to go forward
rapidly.
Educators and chain broadcasters
who met here at the radio education
conference called by Secretary Wilbur
of the Interior Department promised
hearty cooperation with the Federal
Bureau of Education. They agreed that
the adoption of a co-ordinated program
of educational broadcasting methods is
essential to real progress.
Fact-Finding Commission.
Determination of the methods to be
employed and the extent to which the
Government viii participate in formu-
lating or supervising the broadcasts has
been left to a fact-finding commission
TO be appointed by President Hoover.
The fact that Secretary Wilbur, for
merly president of Leland Stanford
University and a close friend of the
President, politically and personally
initiated the movement is taken to in
Q1CaUe UTldI UIl6 pIUiGCb Will NC SAN(il
close attention by Mr. Hoover.
Although varied and sporadic ventures
in radio instruction have been popular
and fruitful. there have been no unified
efforts to link radio with the school
system, particularly in the elementary
grades.
Fear Of Characterization.
Many educators, admitting the poten-
tial value of radio as an adjunct of The
classroom, have hesitated to accept the
proffered services of stations because
of a fear of "commercializing" their
courses. For this reason some school
officials have refused receiving sets Of
fered by broadcaSters and manufac-
turers for use in the schoolrooms.
Off1cials of the chain broadcasting
systems are agreed that educational
programs should be entirely devoid of
advertising. They believe that these
programs should be drawn up or nave
the approval of qualified educators.
How comprehensive project CT jIl-
structional broadcasts can be financed
Is q question to be determined 10y the
fact-finding committee.
Universities of the air" have been
functioning with more or less success
for several years. Chief among these
have been the agricultural schools,
while the farm radio service of the De-
partment of Agriculture has been con-
spicuously successful.

played and will continue to play

complicated, does not involve the

PPEALS continue to be
made by Washington radio

A PPEALS continue to be
" made by Washington radio
~ listeners for the return OF
n Hank Simmons Show Boat
productions to WMAL. The lat
est came last week from Mrs. G. j..
Hargis of Vienna, Va, who claims
she is unable to hear the melo-
dramas satisfactorily over WOR
and, other Columbia Broadcasting
System stations which have re-
tanned this feature on their pro-
grams.
LIT seems as if the stations
have passed the mark of trying to
please their listeners" writes Mrs.
Hargis. There have been many
complaints because WMAL has
discontinued the Show Boat. It
was one of this stations best fea-
lures"
There is no doubt that the Show
Boat productions were one of
WMAL's most popular attractions.
But it would be unfair to criticize
the station for their discontinue
ance, since it is known that Bill
PierSon and others connected
with the program department
have been making strenuous eff
forts to have the melodramas re-
stored.
The Show Boat was dropped
from WMAL's schedule when New
York went on daylight saving
time, which would have brought
its presentations into Washington
an hour earlier than usual. Like
nearly all other broadcaSting sta
tions. WMAL depends on COM
mercial or sponsored programs to
aid in the maintenance of the
station and it so happened that
the station had contracts with
Washington advertisers for the
use of its facilities during the
hour which the melodramas now
go out over the Columbia net
work.
These contracts could not be
abrogated or broken. WMAL was
forced, therefore, to discontinue
the Show, Boat. Officials at the
station, however, realizing the
popularity of the Show Boat pres
entationS, have been in frequent
communication with the Colum-
bia headquarters in New York,
endeaevoring to have Hank Sim
mons and his troupe broadcast at
some other hour or on another
night in the week when their Of
ferings will not interfere with the
sponsored features. And there Is
reason to believe that the Column
bia officials are trying to make
the change for WMAL and its
audience.
