LISTENERS DEMAND
BETTER PROGRAMS
Eecessitates Change in Technique
of Radio Artists, Says Di.
rector Of WSR.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga.--Public demand for
excellence in radio entertainment has
brought about careful study and a. con-
Sequent change in technique by musi-
clans and speakers before the micro
phone, says Lambdin Kay, director of
station WSB. Atlanta.
At first, says Kay. the radio public
thought program good If 1t could be
determined what was coming in. But
now, with the public radio-minded and
with competition keen between stations
serving the same territory, the selection
and execution of radio entertainment
must be better
The day is past when the public is
content to hear a not unpleasant noise
coming In. Excellence is the demand
now-eXcellence in selection and exc
cution Of programs, This has brought
about change in the technique of ra-
oio entertainers, popularity Of certain
musical instruments and unpopularity
Of others.
Before the microphone. the musician
must adopt technique different from
that Of the concert or vaudeville stage.
In the radio studios. he must appreci
ate that his audience is within a few
feet Of him. This means that he cannot
saw away on his fiddle, bang at a
piano or pick a banjo with as much
force as if his audience were $50 feet
away. Radio music must be clear of
the mechanical sounds that generally
are lost when an entertainer appears
before an actual audience
This probably accounts for the pop
ularitv of the piano. AS general rule
violinists do not like 20 appear before
the radio because of TIE great change
they must effect. 1t is hard to keer
the saving noise of the bow on the
strings and the vibration of bow ano
violin strings out Of the microphone
The mute has done much to decrease
this noise, however"

LONDON OP).-The control board

AS many as seven independent stu

1928 for a total of 306, 000,000 as
against 1.350.OOO sets sold in 1927
for $168, 750, 900 and 100000 sold in
1922 for 100000.
Tube sales also showed material

totaled 1000, 900, with a total out

Battery sales, rejecting the
trend toward sets operating from

for A, B and G batteries was
$50, 400, 900, against $68, 100000 in
1927 and $4,000, 900 in 1926. A

IMPROVED DEVICES
OFFER RADIO HOPE.
Frequency Control May. Overcome
Limitations of Power
and Service.

Improvement of frequency control de-
vices offers some hope that the limita-
ton of station power and service on
the non-eXclusive channels in the
broadcast band may be overcome" says
DR.. j. H. Dellinger. chief engineer for
the Federal Radio Commission.
On the local and regional channels
where several stations operate stimuli
taneously the commission limits the
power of transmitters to prevent inter-
ference. If the frequencies of stations
on the same channel are maintained TO
a certain very high accuracy, the
heterodynes or whistles become inau-
dible. DR.. Dellinger declares. The tech
nique of frequency control is fast ap-
preaching this goal and success has
been attained in isolated instances, he
says.
THE satisfactory service area of such
synchronized stations is not yet known,
but 1t is believed it will be Substan-
TALLY greater than when heterodyne in
reference exists" he said. THE sig
niflcance of this is that the present
power limits on the regional and local
stations can be raised. better service
given and wider areas served. SYM
chronization is. therefore, looked upon
as the next great advance in broad
casting"
DR.. Dellinger says all the engineering
work involved in Federal radio regula-
ton has the peculiar difficulty that the
facts dealt with are extremely complex.
They are rapidly shifting" he said.
Not only must allowance be made for
the f1ux of changes inherent in a rap
Idly developing art, but radio waves
themselves exhibit extraordinary va
carries.
Distances vary enormously between
day and night from season to season.
even from night to night. and are diff
ferent over different kinds of terrain.
These vagaries. however. have certain
discernible laws. becoming more and
more calculable as the results of scien-
tiflc investigation accumulate"

LOW TARIFF MEN PREVAIL.

Indications that the most successful lower tariff fight ever made in the United States is that of this summer and it has not involved partisan politics at all The stressing in last years cam paign by MT Hoover of protection as a basis of American prosperity and Democratic acquiescence in a tariff that would the difference in the cost of production in America and abroad inspired the hope in those who would like more protection that the people would stand for tariff made like some of the past ones have been made-where every one seeking greater protection would be permitted to writ his own schedule. But it was not so The House had scarcely passed new tariff bill when protests from every section of the country particularly from those interested in foreign com merce It is now virtually certain that the House Bill will be very much mutilated in the Senate when it convenes again The country will not stand for a higher tariff than have and we are likely to see very positive demands for reducing schedules within short time. As one writer put it. the American people are fairly shouting the tariff down.

The Presidents Appalling Burden.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

A gentleman who should know something about the matter said recnty If there is man in public life who is entitled to sympathy and patience the part of the public it is the President of the United States"
 The truth of this statement receives recurrent emphasis in an article by former President Coolidge in the current number of the American Magazine, who declares that "a power so vast in it's implica- tions has been conferred upon any ruling sovereign"
 New problems continually arising to face the President In practically every instance it has been found that he had the power necessary to cope with imminent problems of State, though the duties of the President described in a few brief paragraphs of the Constitution.
 Advisers to the President there have always been and must continue to be- but the President cannot escape chief responsibility. The measure of criticism and disapproval which may descend upon his official head is without limitation de- gree of intensity-with his duties and labors they constitute what Mir Coolidge very properly defines to be an appalling burden" Final judgments the Presidents alone-and the final responsibility No one share with him this responsibility. He must make his own major decisions. Others may make mistakes and they may be relieved, perhaps remedy supplied. But when the President makes mistake his decision well may be irreparabe.
 As if all this were not enough, the President as MT. Coolidge points out, has almost an equal burden in social affairs. He must adhere to a code most rigid He dare not risk conventional chaos and abuse of power. Labor is earnSt in it's continued effort to secure reduction in the matter of hours which should constitute day of toll. But every President must work fifteen or more hours day. Consequently it readily may be seen that it is not all fun" to be President of the United States
 Far from it. It is one of the hardest jobs on earth
 And perhaps we should be more patient and sym
 pathetic with the Nations Chief Executive whoever
 he may be.
