BROADCASTERS
TELL THEIR
TROUBLES

Middlin' fair was reception for
loud speaker addicts last evening
some Of the Mid West broad.
casts being shy and hard to locate
and others in other sections show.
Ing coy tendency to fade away
when found. Code was again the
chief annoyance with a little
static noise here and there to re-
mind listeners that the crash and
Dang brothers had not completely
1Orsaken the atmosphere.
The broadCasters of the nation are
fighting the battles of the radio
listeners with those who would make
q political hattleCOck of brOadcaStirg
and shuttle it back and forth among
themselves to show how keen they
are for the rights of the peepul and
the Constitution and the grand old
flag.
At least that was the Indication
given by Bill Hedges, of Chicago,
president of the National Association
or Broadcasters. who dropped IN or
listeners last evening for an in
formal call through WMAL Hedges
told the living room addcts that
efforts are being made by the broad
casters while their committees are
IN Washington, to bring about some
modification of the present silly
equalization of wave lengths he
tween Zones-only Bill was too polite
to call it silly-and to have some
ruling made that would permit
broadcasters to feel just a bit more
certain in the development of their
stations by giving them longer
licensed periods to operate.
Likewise the broadcasters are op-
posed to Congress limiting power
for broadcasts on the ground that
the use of high power is a matter
Tor scientific adjustment and should
be determined by an administrative
body after proper experiment and
demonstration and not fixed by .aw.
NOVEL FEATURE
BY BLIND COMPOSER
The entertainment features Of
loud-speaker deliveries last evening
were rather varied and novel and
continuous throughout the evening.
Sam kormans department store trio

dolph Schra INNS airplane subs-
dtZed orchestra bi. later made the
wave length Of WRC easy and rest
full to tune. Both Norman and
Schramm are doing quite bit to
provide good music for listeners
these days. Olive Kline. soprano
gave an excellent exhibition of
VelvetY tone production and the
singing of the poetry of song during
the La Palma endeavor from WMAL
which needed her efforts TO make
the program what its predecessors
have been.
The holster orchestra fairly won
the honors of the evening in an Or
Chestral way--also from WMAI~

musician on the three tones, A, F.
and +, and dedicated to WEAF. pro-

OF that station having ceased to he

the Maiestic party for it's statesmen,
held at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
which the Columbia system brought
us through WCAO in the late hours.
Ruth Etting, Moran and Mack and
many other we'll knowns contributed
to the exercises. which were still
going strong when the clock struck
