NEW H|GH-POWERED
STATION IS OPENED
VITO, Atop TaIcott Noun

BY MARTIN CoDEL.

HARTFORD, Conn, September 4 IN
A. N. A.)-Atop Talcott Mountain, over

new 50,000-watt broadcasting station,
representing the latest improvements In
the radio art, began this week to spread
It's programs over Northeastern North
America. With its dedicatory exercises
yesterday, following close upon expert
mental broadcasts with its new high
power, station VITO entered formally
into the ranks of the highest powered
broadcasting stations of the United
States and the world.
There are only six other stations in
the world as powerful, and all are in
this country. Several of higher power
have been projected In Europe, where
jealous nations would like to throw
their signals into contiguous countries,
but none has reached the point Of con-
structton as yet.
Station VITO now ranks in power
with KDKA. Pittsburgh WGY. Sche-
nectady; WEAF. New York; WLW, Gin
