RADIO APPEALS COURT
FORECAST BY SYKES
Member of Federal Commission
Says New Branch Of Jurispru.
dence Is Being Developed.

BY the Associated Press.
Judge Eugene o. Sykes, who says he
came to Washington two years ago to
take the job of Federal radio commits
sioner without knowing the difference
between watt and kilocycle. predicts
the ultimate establishment of q special
radio court Of appeals to be the final
arbiter in broadcasting controversies.
Few judges are competent, without
several months intensive study on each
case, to handle radio controversies in
volving highly technical problems, the
veteran Mississippi lawyer says.
Radio is developing q new branch
Of jurisprudence, Judge Sykes says, and
its court of appeals should be composed
of lawyers trained in radio law and
possessing at least rudimentary
knowledge of the science. They should
be men familiar with international
OF public service required by Congress
and radio litigation In all its phases.
Nearly every legal problem of radio
regulation is based on complex physical
phenomena such as the freak actions of
radio waves. Consequently the qualified
radio judge, Commissioner Sykes be-
lieves, should have q working knowledge
Of such technical matters as clear chan
nels, high and low frequencies, trans
mission power and Synchronization.
The importance of expert counsel in
radio cases Is recognized by leaders in
Congress, who have declared that the
commission. acting as either an ad-
ministratiye or an appellate body, should
be given funds to employ the most
capable lawyers.

Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

of the ordinary receiving set,
Experiments with a movable
ceiling are still being made in
Great Britain in an effort to con-
troll tone volume. Eiffel Tower in
Paris also experimental for wears
with various microphone arrange
ments. but finally adopted the
American method, which is still
in use.
When the voice of Herbert Hoo
yer is carried to the farthermost
corners of the earth as he deliy-
ers his inaugural address tomor-
row, his own prediction will be
fulfilled.
Four years ago, as radio broad
casters prepared for the expert
ment of a coast forecast broad
cast of the Coolidge inaugural
ceremonies, Mr.. Hoover, then Sec
rotary of Commerce, saw the COM
ing of the worldwide radio pro-
gram.
1.-THE day is almost at hand
when a voice in Washington will
be heard all over the world" he
predicted.
It is a coincidence that the in
coming President will be the CEN
trail figure in the most pretentious
worldwide broadcast yet at
tempted.
In connection with this world
wide broadcast of the inaugural
ceremonies, it is interesting &c
turn back the pages of radio
broadcasting a few years and pic
ture the tremendous strides that
have been made in the develop
ment of this art.
In 1921, a then record break
ing crowd" of $4,000 persons
heard the late Warren G. Hard
ing take the oath of office on the
Capitol steps. A public address
system made that possible.
In 1925, when radio broadcast
ing had passed the experimental
stage, a "record-breaking crowd
of more than 100000 persons
were able to hear Calvin Coolidge
take the oath of Office.
Now, in 1929, the whole world,
through the medium of two vast
| networks of regular and short
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-03-03

wave stations, will have the op-
portunity of hearing Herbert Hoo
yer repeat the solemn words of
the inaugural ceremony.
The completed arrangements
for covering the ceremony from
every angle indicate that the pro-
gram will be available to listen
erS on every continent, and even
to Comdr. Byrd and his party in
the icy waters of Antarctica.
