PARIS, Aug. 5.-Should Deauville

a bathing suit inspector. he would

This years first appearances on
the fiowery strand have baffled all
attempts to distinguish between
plain nudity and decent drapery.
The new bathing suit. which

suit. which begins and ends in a
blur Of low visibility, which when
seen at more than twenty yards dis
tant looks like natures own birth

flesh colored garment, giving the
body a soft. shimmering hue.

formally granted last week by the

Local fears Of blanketing effects from
the new station have excluded 1t from
various sites previously decided upon
after the Federal Radio Commission
had authorized WABC to 60 to high
power. An actual house-to- house sur
vey of the vicinity of the newly author
lied site revealed that there are only
II homes and receiving sets within
half mile radius thereof; 142 homes
and 70 sets within 1-mile radius, and
AIT homes and 210 sets within q Ia

If blanketing occurs, as IL may on

With its new power, the operators of

immediately and it win probably be
completed before the end Of the year.

LINCOLN Nebr. (P).- "A Jest of what

The attorney general has as CO.
plaintiffs Irwin Stalmaster his Omaha

philanthropist.
The radio station was joined in the
actions because, 1t was charged, It spon-
sored the address by introducing and
vouching for the defendant; because 4
copy was available to It's attaches, and
that a representative of the station was
in the studio during the false and

AFTER MIDNIGHT TESTS
PLANNED BY STATIONS
KDKA, With 100000 Watts, and
wGY, With 200, 900, to Be
Worlds Highest Power.

With KDKA. Pittsburgh, about to go
on the air in midnight tests with
100000 watts of power, Station WGY,
Schenectady, revealed plans to resume
its experiments with 100000 watts in
sirnila. tests when it applied to the
Federal Radio Commission for a re-
newal of the experimental license of
.W2xAG. the auxiliary of WGY.
The superpower would be resumed on
the frequencies Of $50, $50, 100, 1850
and / 500 kilocycles. The 100000 watts
of KDKA and the 100000 watts of
WGY are the highest power, so far as
any records reveal, ever attempted by
any broadcasting station anywhere in
the world.
Almost coincidentally with the WGY
application, the commission received a
request from the Westinghouse COM
pany for q modification of the expert
mental license of W8xT, the auxiliary
of KDKA, to permit simultaneous oper-
alton with WEAF, New York, and
WGY, Schenectady, during the hours
of l am. to 8 am. The object is to
study the interference that results when
all those high-powered stations go on
the air at the same time on the same
wave length and to develop means of
.synchronizing them to eliminate that
interference.
