SNOW BLAMED FOR RADIO s7ATIc
 IN TERRITORY
SUGGESTS ESTABLISHMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL RADIO STA
 TTON IN ALASKA

SHUNGMAK, Alaska, Oct, 9, (P) -"The snow, she blow, and the radio, he go crack, crack like the whip on huskys back"
 Up here on the fringe of the polar regions where winter comes early and stays late, static, the GUS tomary summer bane of reception, continues to harass the few listen CTS who depend upon radio pro grams to speed the long nights ot the northland
 Mrs. Inez Moore, school teacher here and radio enthusiast, says the static is caused by snow blowing across snow that has already crust ed over That and fading caused bv the Northern Lights are respon- sible for interference which occa- sionally plays havoc with programs from the homeland The static caused by snow, she says, is equal to that of any electrical storm in  the states.
 Most of the time, however, recep- tion is good and programs are re- ceived from stations in nearly every part of the world during the fall and winter. Because of the re- markable reception conditions in the Arctic she has written to the federal radio commission suggest ing the establishment of an experi- mental station in Alaska.
 After stations in the states sign off at midnight we still have two hours to go, so we turn to New Zealand, Hawaii, Japan, China and Australia" she stated

the schools in the Chinatown neigh
