BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN.-Europe, with its many
countries and languages, is having its
difficulties in radio broadcasting.
An attempt was made at the inter-
national conference recently in Brussels,
at which the wavelength assignment
plan de Bruxelles was adopted. But
according to German radio experts it
has not been favorably accepted every
where.
Three years ago, at a radio conference
In Geneva. something like an tnterna-
tional agreement was reached and
wavelengths were allotted in manner
calculated to avoid friction. At that
time broadcast stations were not SO
numerous as now. Few II any small
countries were represented.
In the three years that followed,
stations grew UP almost everywhere.
The smaller the country the more am
bilious 1t seemed. Usually its broad
caster was located as close to the border
as possible and 1t chose a wavelength
near that Of q rival neighbor.
Early in January another attempt
was made to straighten out the Euro
pean tangle. New wavelengths were al
lotted at Brussels. The difficulty, in
the opinion of German experts, is that
the assignments are too close together.
Germany believes the solution lies in
the Neutrality-suspicious." or equal
wave broadcaster All the numerous
smaller stations, plus one or two Of the
largest are to use the same wavelength.
Each country, the German proposal
contemplates, Is to be allotted only
three or four wavelengths for its entire
net of broadcasting stations. One of
these wavelengths is to be used by one
powerful and all the smaller stations,
and the remaining two or three are to

Speaking

sentials Of voice building. From what
I have seen In my radio career, feel
that I cannot emphasize this too
strongly.
Singing Unlike Pinochle.
If radio is ever open to you, 1t will
be because you have good voice, prop
erly placed, thoroughly trained and sub
ject to q native artistic Intelligence
which Is something no singing Quack
can give you If nature left 1t out. /
have seen innumerable young people
with fair voices and musical ambitions
who stubbornly held to the idea that
radio singing was something which
could be learned like pinochle. They
ought to get this out of their heads.
There are, of course, a few simple
details to be followed in singing before
the microphone, but these are infinitely
subordinate to the fact that one must
be a singer to begin with. To sum-
Marie: Perfect yourself in your art and
let nature take its course. so far as
radio Is concerned. 1t will be ready
when your voice Is ready.
For both speaking and singing train
ing, with view to later radio perform
ance. the mandates of the old-fashioned
teachers still hold. Get your voice well
forward-don't let 1t get down in your
throat. Concentrate on clear, easy
enunciation; learn to breathe deeply and
let your voice impulsion be an easy,
effortless flow and not gasping effort;
learn to relax; learn to make the tempo
of your speech quickly and naturally
responsive to emotional requirements:
let your voice become plant and
adaptable instrument of thought and of
feeling, rather than something which
Is consciously manipulated.
This, of course, is all 'old stuff. ,"
But the longer I stay in this business
the more I am convinced that old
fashioned doctrine is the soundest, and
that there is positive danger for young
singers who depend on the gold brick
teachers TO warp and distort their
voices into something which they are
not.

RADIO BODY PLANS
/. TO TEST WGY CASE
Commission to Take Issue
of Full Time to U. S.
Supreme Court.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Recovered from the shock of the
court decision which orders full time
operation for WGY on its present chan
mel. the Federal Radio Commission is
preparing to carry the case to the
United States Supreme Court.
While the first reaction of some radio
men here was that the decision of the
Court Of Appeals of the District of
Columbia might upset the entire re-
ALLEGATION of last November, counsel for
the commission are of the opinion that
the courts ruling Is based almost en-
tirely on the individual merits of the
public service plea of the Schenectady
station and does not apply to other
cases.
See Act as Valid.
They believe that the opinion of the
court clearly upholds the validity Of the
radio act and of the Davis amendment,
which provides for equal ALLEGATION of
radio facilities to the five zones, and
that it does not question the authority
OF the commission to classify stations
and to assign wave lengths. The radio
law provides for an appeal to the court
from a decision of the commission, and
this is a case where the court upheld
the station on the ground of It's I'M
questioned public service.
In its appeal, however. WGY first
conten6ed that the commissions re-
fusal to permit it to operate full time
"wrongfully deprives appellant Of its
property rights by preventing fun time
operation"
Commenting on this argument, the
court said:
IN respect to appellants first con-
tention we may say that, under the
commerce clause of the Constitution.
Congress has the power to provide for
the reasonable regulation of the use and
operation of radio stations and TO
establish agencies such as the Federal
Radio Commission to give effect to that
authority.
Cites Chances of Chaos.
without such national regulation of
radio a condition of chaos in the air
would follow. and this particular public
utility, which possesses such ncalcu-
liable value for the welfare Of the people
and the service of the Government,
would become practically useless"
The second contention of WGY, and
the one sustained by the court, was
that public interest would be served by
giving 1t unrestricted time. The court
held that, in view of the service rem
dered by the station and of the public
interest, convenience and necessity" OF
it's large audience, restriction to part
time operation "is not reasonable and
should not be enforced"

COLUMBIA SYSTEM
SOON IN NEW HOME.
24-Story Building to Contain
Studio Layout and Execu-
tive Offices.

A new palatial home for the Columbia
Broadcasting System is now in the
course of completion, according to an
announcement yesterday by william S.
Paley, president. The new building, q
24-story skyscraper, which will bear the
name "the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn Building" Is located on the south
Fifty-second street, New York City.
The Columbia Broadcasting System
has reserved the Ave top stories OF the
building for It's own use as broadcaSting
studios and executive Offices, where the
most complete and modern key studios
of the 5l-station Nationwide network
are to be located. Fifteen studios, rang
ing in size from small chambers for
talks by individuals to a huge audi
torium capable of holding over $50 en-
tertainers on single broadcast, have
been laid cut. Each of these studios is
to be equipped with its individual con-
troll room.
Rehearsal Rooms Planned.
In addition to the broadcasting rooms
there have been planned numerous re-
hearSal and addition rooms, each of
which is to be equipped with micro
phone pickup feeding loud speakers In
adjoining listening rooms and reception
halls. All broadcaSting, addition and
rehearsal halls are to be equipped for
sound recording, both for records and
films as we'll as radio transmission. The
building has been especially fabricated
structurally from the nineteenth to the
twenty-fifth floors to permit the con-
struction of the studios unobstructed by
pillars.
One of the unique features of the new
key studios will be the lighting and
