DO.RAN PRAISES
PORTER BILL
ON DRUGS
By KENNETH CLARK

The Porter bill to modernize anti.
drug laws and establish an in
dependent marc otic enforcement
bureau was Endorsed yesterday by
DR.. James M. Doran. prohibition
commissioner.
The present narcotic division is
a branch of the Prohibition Bureau
in the Treasury Department Thus,
DR.. Doran Is chier both of prohibi.
tion and narcotic enforcement.
"Great Forward Step"
"The program to reorganize and
consolidate enforcement of the drug
laws is a great forward step" said
DIR. Doran. "It is constructive and
1 hope it will be adopted by Con-
gress."
He has assisted Representative
Porter CR0 of Pennsylvania in draft
ing the bill, and from his sug-
gestions, based on long experience
in enforcement work, number of
new ideas have been incorporated
in the measure.
Under - the Porter program the
various narcotic laws which have
been passed since the Government
began an intensive fight against
the dope evil will be revised and
rewritten into one piece of legisla-
tion. In this way 1t is hoped to
correct existing abuses which have
handicapped enforcement.
Doran believes the domestic leg.
islation should be brought more in
to line with the international cam
paign against drugs. He pointed
out that most of the dope reach
ing this country is smuggled from
abroad and therefore the Govern.
ment should be armed more ade-
quately to check this Illicit traffic.
Support Promised
Meanwhile, assurances of support
came from leaders both in the Sen
ate and the House to the so-called
opium amendment attached to the
tariff bill by the House Ways and
Means Committee The amendment
makes ship owners responsible and
liable to penalty and heavy fines
for smoking opium seized on their
vessels. Enforcement officers de.
clared the proposal will facilitate
materially the Government drive
to break up dope smuggling rings.
THE committee will stand pat on
the amendment" announced Repre-
sentative Hawley (R.). of Oregon,
committee chairman, who is guiding
the tariff bill through the House.

new SET-UP REPORTS
STIR BROADCASTERS
Scores of Letters Follow Rumors Of
Reallocation-Drastic Changes
Are Denied.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Reports that the Federal Radio Com
mission is contemplating q sweeping
broadcast reallocation have brought
scores of letters from broadcasters.
Some express APPREHENSION and others
the hope of obtaining better assign
ments.
Members Of the commission. however,
declare they have no intention of
making a drastic change in the present
set-up: They say reception conditions
generally are satisfactory.
Hearings on applications for new
licenses, changes of wavelengths, in
crease in power and hours of operation
will occupy the commission up to the
end of the year when its authority will
end unless continued by Congress.
There were more than 400 applica-
tons on file when the board started its
Fall hearings. Many applicants have
defaulted by failure to appear.
Most of the requests for new sta
ton licenses are being denied, the
commission holding that the broadcast
field is already overcrowded in nearly
every section.
While radio leaders in Congress have
indicated that legislation will be en-
acted extending indefinitely the life of
the commission, the terms of all the
commissioners expire on February %.
The radio law now stipulateS that
after February %, commissioners shall
be appointed for terms of two, three,
four. five and six years. as originally
provided.
But 1t is considered likely that Con-
gress, if it continues the commission,
will limit the terms to year or less,
inasmuch as it is planned to create a
commission on communications within
the next year.

Cheaper and Better Vacuum Tubes
Are Expected From New Developments

From behind the scenes of the radio
industry, where engineers work un-
ceasingly In their endeavor to improve
radio reception, comes word OF a new
development which its creators claim
will result in a downward trend in radio
vacuum tube prices and at the same
time give better reception results.
It Is the successful production OF a
new metal. called "konel," as a substi-
tute for platinum, the precious metal
used in the manufacture of f1laments
for vacuum tubes. Konel, 1t is claimed.
has all of the virtues of platinum and
even is superior to it in vacuum tube
manufacture. And, while platinum
costs $3.50 per ounce, the new substi-
tute costs only few dollars pound.
The metal has been developed by the
Westinghouse research laboratories. and
its creator Is DR.. E. r. Lowry. West
inghouse officials are authority Tor the
statement that konel already is saving
about a quarter of a million dollars
monthly in the manufacture of radio
tubes, and that this saving gradually
will be increased as the metal is intro
duced on an international scale. For
eign patent rights have just been
granted for It.
Tubes with fiIaments made of the
new substance are operated ITS de-
grees colder than tubes with platinum

house engineers. But the reception re-

CATHEDRAL HOUR
IS STUDIO FEATURE
Series of 0ratorios, With Full
Symphony and Choir,
Planned by Chain.

NEW YORK, october 12.-Visitors to
the new studios of WABC, in the Co
lumbia Broadcasting System Building,
often stop to witness the rehearsals of
the Cathedral hour and Choral Rev
cries. They stop because a little man
with o great spirit is working strenu-
ously. 1t is he who directs and brings
to the air the vibrant melodies that are
broadcast Sunday afternoons and nights.
This little man, Channon Collinge by
name who has directed the Cathedral
hour almost since the Columbia Broad
casting System first went on the air, Is
an interesting type.
With a large musical background, Mr..
Collinge came to radio. Joining the
Columbia Broadcasting System after its
establishment, he has since that time
planned and directed not only the
Cathedral hour, United Choral Singers
and Choral ReverieS but also has had
much to do with planning several other
regular musical broadcaStS. and has
composed the theme music for many OF
the principal programs, among them the
Voice of Columbia, Coco CourierS and
True Story. While he occasionally con-
ducts the orchestra during certain pro-
grams, the flrSt-named features are en-
tirely his own.
IT have very definite ideas on program
building" Mr.. Collinge declared, and
feel radio programs should have the
same care in preparation and presenta-
ton that an artist must give to the
composition of his painting. OF course,
in the presentation of program made
up largely of jazz music no especial care
is indicated, since / doubt II the average
man can really know the difference be-
tween one and another Of them. There
a.. fNaa cir
on the part of the radio audience for
more classical and semi-claSsical music
and for less of the jazz type, which de-
sire must influence program makers 10
give more care and attention to their
presentations.
I'm the Cathedral hour, for instance,
we frequently make special arrange
ments in order to better carry out the
ecclesiastical illusion. That we have
been successful in this is exemplifled in
many letters desiring to know from what
cathedral the broadcast was presented
All of them, of course, originate in the
studio.
"For instance, last season our presen-
tation of Stainer's 'Cruciflxion' and Du-
bois' The Seven Last Words, two OF
the outstanding pieces of sacred music,
drew a flood of mail. Slight changes
had been made in these pieces, and
choral and solo singing was used in
novel form, but no liberties had been
taken in the works This year plan to
give a series of oratorios, utilizing full
symphony orchestra and choir, in re-

stronger than other metals at high
temperatures and can be used extern
sively In the moving parts Of Internal
combustion engines and in other mech
anisms where extreme heat Is generated.
1t was developed primarily for radio
use, but it was discovered in the expert
mental processes that 1t is harder to
forge than steel and is still very tough
at high temperatures, when most metals
lose their strength.
Along other lines in the radio in
dustry research is going forward with
a view of improving conditions. This
year the screen grid tube was intro
duced, which permits of increased Sc
lectivity of the receiving set and finer
depths of tone in the reproduction OF
music. What the next year will bring
forth remains unknown, but the indus
try, in its eight years of existence, each
year has produced some refinement in
receivers that has improved reception.
