STATES AND CITIES
PASS RADIO LAWS
Legislation Protects Both
the Fans and the
N0n-LiStenerS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
To preserve the peace of the neigh
borhood and to protect both the list
ener and non-listener several States
and cities have invoked the police
power in the regulation of radio.
A survey of these laws and ordinances
taken by the legal department of the
Federal Radio Commission discloses a
wide variety of legislation designed to
curb interference, protect the public
from the din of loud speakers, prevent
fires, restrict the location of broadcast
ing stations and govern the installation
of transmitting and receiving sets.
Detroit has one of the most drastic
ordinances. The operation of a noise
making or noise simplifying instrument
by which the peace of the neighborhood
is disturbed is made nuisance and the
operation of any radio in any public
or private place which diSturbs or
annoyS persons owning or occupying
property in the neighborhood Is mis-
Gemeanor.
Oakland, Calf, has a similar ordi-
nance and Memphis has drafted an
ordinance to regulate the use OF re-
ceivers in business establishments. The
proposed law excerpts musical instru-
ments in the home. Spokane has
byDlcdI II IudhCo
the operation of any instrument which
causes electrical interference with radio
reception between pm. and midnight.
X-ray pictures or examinations are
allowed in cases of emergency.
A Minneapolis ordinance provides
that no broadcasting station may be
operated within the city without mu-
nicipal permit. An annual fee is ex-
acted of broadcaSterS. The operation
of transmitter in the city or within
2 miles of the city limits is prohibited
if the power is more than 500 watts.
Minnesota has law which requires
the broadcasting of information helpful
in locating stolen property and the
apprehension of wrong doors. A fire
protection measure in st. Louis pre-
scribes how installations of transmitters
and receivers may be made. A Michi-
gan act gives the public utilities COM
mission authority to prohibit the opera
ton of two or more stations within the
State simultaneously If interference In
reception results.

BOSTON STATIONS
SEEK new HOMES
WNAC Is Pushing the Erection OF
Plant on South
Shore.

BOSTON P.-Three of Boston's
radio stations are moving or are about
to move.
WNAC is pushing the erection OF a
new plant on the Massachusetts, south
shore, away from the steel structures
of Boston, which have been blamed Tor
absorbing much of its signal. Plans
call for increase in power from 500 to
1000 watts.
WBET, owned and operated by the
Boston Evening Transcript for two
years. has passed into the ownership OF
the proprietors Of station WLEX In
Lexington, Mass. The present WBET
apparatus now installed on the site OF
WGI, the worlds pioneer broadcaster
in Medford Hillside, will be set up In
the home of WLEX, replacing the pres
emit equipment of the latter station. Au-
thority to use the more favorable
broadcast channel Of WBET and its
500 watts Is sought from the Federal
Radio Commission.
WLEx operates on 1920 kilocycles,
with 100 watts power, while WBET
was operated at 1920 kilocycles and
with 500 watts.
Station WEEP is planning to begin
construction of q new station within q
short time in a suburban community
south of Boston. When the station
moves from the congested center Of
Boston it has the permission Of the
radio commission to double its power,
raising it to 1000 watts.
Two Western stations, WCAJ, at Lin
coin, Nebr., and WOW, at Omaha, are
operating on the same frequency as
WEEP, namely, $50 kilocycles. A con-
dition of the grant of the increase in
power, Is that all three stations install
precision apparatus to keep their fire.
Quencies constant, or at least within a
5O-cycle variation, to prevent hetero-
dyne whistles.

BROADCAST BARS
MAY Be REVOKED
Drastic Restrictions Expect

Going Into Effect.

~ the Associated Press.
The drastic order of the Federal
Radio Commission restricting the dupli-
cation of chain programs will not go
into effect until Summer, the dull sea-
son in broadcasting Opposition of both
broadcaSterS and listeners. however, has
been so vigorous and widespread that
the order probably will be considerably
modified, if not entirely revoked.
The order prohibits simultaneous
broadcasting Of identical programs for
more than one hour in the evening
by stations on cleared channels unless
the stations are more than 300 miles
apart Several of the leading stations
would lose chain programs.
Storm of Protest Arises.
A storm of protest from operators of
the network companies, station owners
and listeners followed announcement of
the ruling last September. and the COM
mission several times has postponed its
enforcement, the last extension being
until June /.
A majority of the commission favored
delay until engineers could complete a
survey Of present duplication and prob
able effects of the order. BroadcasterS
declare the loss of the chain programs
would be a death blow to their stations.
Declaring that many cities do not re-
ceive the programs of stations 200 or
300 miles away. engineers of the net
works assert thousands of listeners
would be deprived of their favorite
programs
Although many people have COM
planned about getting the same pro-
grams at several places on the dial.
a large majority of the listeners APP
parently want the chains. Despite
criticism of certain features of the net
work programs. the entertainment day
in and day out generally is considered
attractive.
National Events Distributed.
The greatest service of the chains,
however, is the carrying to all parts OF
the country of events of national in
terest such as presidential campaigns
and inaugurations base ball world
series, intersectional foot ball games
and championship prize fights.
Most radio officials believe that to
deprive a substantial part of the radio
audience of any of these would be far
more detrimental to public interest and
convenience than the annoyance or dep
rivation incidental to duplication OF
programs
The commission, realizing that du-
plication is excessive in some sections
of the country. hopes to work out a
flexible plan whereby it could use dis
cretion in remedying the situation in
stead of a sweeping measure affecting
stations and listeners almost every
where.

practical test of the plan is to be
held March Is at the local airport.
The device includes a transmitter in the
plane with q substitute for a receiving

the airport lights when a signal is sent
from the plane.
The plan worked out by Williams and
Snapp is different in principle from
the recent sound experiments at the
Newark, N. j., airport. In the Newark
test the airport was lighted through
use of the televox, which lighted the

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, December 2 (P).-Cot-
ton opened steady at decline Of to
4 points today in response to relatively
easy Liverpool cables, but steadied up
after the call on some trade buying and
local covering.
Reports of continued unfavorable
weather for saving late cotton in the
South may have been a factor. while
there was also buying or covering in
preparation for the private crop reports
which are expected before the publica-
ton of the Government report next
Monday.
Owing to unfavorable weather during
November, some traders expect reduc-
ton in crop estimates, and this idea
may have been behind part Of the early
buying. January was selling around
1892 and March 1852 at the end of
the first half hour, or about to 3
points net higher.
Private cables reported continental
liquidation in Liverpool absorbed by
trade covering at the decline. They
said that cloth buyers were operating
cautiously and that manufacturers were
losing ground.
