SHORT WAVE SHIFT
NOW ELIMINATED
Internal Shielding in New
Power Valves Stops
FeedbaCk.
BY LAURENCE M. CoCKADAY.

Improved methods of transmission, as
well as improved reception systems, are
widening out the scope of short waves
in communication all over the world
New circuits have been evolved that are
not only more easily controlled. but are
more stable. and will keep on exactly
the prescribed wave length without
wavering or, in technical terms, with
out swinging" This is continuous
variation in wave length at the trans
mitter, in which the frequency of the
antenna system changes constantly and
the emitted wave wobbleS over band
of frequencies. Receivers at distance
would have to be continuously tuned
for these swings IN frequency, and up
till recently this has been a serious dis
advantage.
What Swinging" Is.
The reason for this swinging is most
ly due to changes in the antenna cir
cult whereby the capacity of the an
tenna increases and decreases by actual

swinging and transmit pure wave
that stays put" and that is easily
picked up and held" by distant short
wave transmitters
The new screen-grid power tubes are
known as radiotrons type UV-861, and
are made by the General Electric Co
Circuit stability and ease of adjust
ment have always been problems with
short-wave transmitterS in the past.
and the use Of the screen-grid tube
prevents undesired coupling between
the different parts of the circuits and
thus greatly simplifles the design and
operation of these transmitters.

WOMAN is
CAUSE REBELS A

DOLORES HIDALGO, Guiana
juato, Mexico, July 26.-(R)-The
fury Of a woman scorned vas re-
sponsibIe for the downfall of Pri-
mitivo Jiminez, rebel chieftain eX-
ecuted here July 10, authorities have
disclosed.
The woman, once a favorite Of the
"caudillo," had been rejected. She
made her way to an army unit and
led the federal soldiers to Jiminez's
hiding place. He and his chief-of-
staff, Juan Sanchez, were eating
breakfast when they were surprised
and captured. They were brought
here and shot after a court-martial.
Jiminez's most outstanding exploit
was a raid on the city Of Leon,
largest town in this state, in June,
1928. After looting the place he es-
caped.

FIGHTS
CUT IN POWER
u. S. Supreme Court May
Make First Decision on
Act of 1927

WASHINGTON, July 26.-lP-
The fight Of a Chicago broadcast
ing station against orders of the
federal radio commission reducing
its power may bring from the Unit
ed States supreme court this fall,
its first decision on the validity Of
the radio act o. 1927.
The case of WCRW, which sought
to enioin the cc omission from en-
forcing orders reducing the power
of that station from 500 to 100 watts
has been certified to the supreme
court of appeals for Illinois for rul-
ing on the legal questions involved.
Notified by the commission last
August that their transmission pow
er must be cut, WCRW and WEDC,
also a Chicago station, sought tenn
porary injunctions in district court,
restraining the commission from
the orders. The court denied the
temporary i~njuncticns, and in the
case of WCRW appeal -aS taken
to the circuit court.
Both broadcasters contended that
the drastic reduction Of power
would restrict their listening areas.
They declared that the commits
sion summarily reduced their pow
er without previous notice and with
out giving them a hearing on that
issue. They attacked the validity
of the radio law on the ground that
it gave the commission the power
to take property without compensa-
ton.
The commission holds that con-
gress by the radio act and its power
to regulate interstate commerce has
| authorized the commission to stip-
ulate the power and wavelengths to
be used by stations.
