Handicapped by the numerous obsta-
cles in the way Of reducing television
reception to the mere turning of knob
or two, they feel, however, that the end
Of this year may bring them nearer
their goal.
There Is little doubt of their opti-

to solve q problem that at times offers
many hard-shelled nuts to crack.
SimplificStion Is Problem.
Television experts have experienced
little trouble In putting together elabo-

tor. It is in the simplif1cation Of the
equipment to produce the same results
where the real job comes In.

there has been developed o compact ra-

STATE POLICE RADIO
CONTEST WAKES HOT
Gov. Green and Federal Body
Threaten Each Others
Employees.

DETROIT (P).-A State police radio
system, patterned somewhat after that
operated by the city of Detroit, but de-
signed to connect the State police bar
racks at East Lansing with 100 or more
stations throughout the State, is the
project that has brought Gov. Fred w.
Green into controversy with the Federal
Radio Commission.
Disputing the commissions power
over a State-owned broadcasting sta
ton, the governor has issued orders for
the construction of the station. The
commission has retorted by asking the
Department of Justice to arrest any one
starting construction work. To this the
governor replied, "If any one attempts
to interfer- with the construction of the
station. I will order him arrested for
hamperirfg the State police"
Meanwhile plans are being carried
out to start work on the station forth
with.
State police posts, the Offices of sher-
ifs and other peace officers and certain
cruising automobiles will be equipped
with receivers which can pick up the
low wave length transmissionS from the
5,000-watt station at East Lansing
Transmission will be entirely by voice.
Chasing criminals and preventing
crime by radio has been unusually sue
cessful in Detroit, one of the first cities
to use radio-equipped scout cars.

~ Ado broadcasterS are the
most conscientious clock


- most conscientious clock
IN watchers in the country.
= y They admit it, although
the fact is not apparent to any
casual visitor in a broadcasting
studio.
The second-which has gone
before you can finish naming it
is the time element used in broad
| casting. While time on the air
usually is sold or allotted to sus-
tanning programs by the hour or
in quarters of the hour, the Sec
ond is the unit used for the in
tricate business of keeping a ma
tional network running smoothly.
In the National Broadcasting
Co.'S studios, for instance, there
are clocks everywhere. There is
one in every room, every monitor
ing booth, the main control room,
every Office, reception room, lobby
and work room. And these
clocks, unlike many others, always
agree as to the time. They
! likewise differ in another respect
from ordinary clocks in that each
one has a third hand which
sweeps around the dial every min
ute, indicating the passage of the
all-important second. These clocks
are all governed by a master
clock, which in turn is checked
against the time signal from the
Arlington Radio Station.
There is never a moment in a
studio when some ones Eyes are
not on some clock. The artists at
the rophone occasionally
| glance at the clock to see how
much of their time on the air is
left. The production man, who is
responsible for the broadcast
while it is on the air, constantly
watches that he may speed up or
slow down his presentation in the
event that it fails to run accord
ing to the carefully worked out
schedule.
The studio engineer, who is re-
sponsible for the technical per-
fection of the broadcast, also
keeps an eye on the clock. In the
main control room the clock is
watched by all the operators.
This clock watching extends be-
| yond the studios, Tor IN every one
of the network stations some one
is alert during the progress of a
broadcast. AS the hour or the
quarter hour approaches-the pc
riod usually set for station an
nouncementS - an announcer
stands by the switch. On a des-
ignated second the switch is
thrown and from every station its
call letters are announced.
If the station announcement
comes in the middle of a program
or in between two national broad
casts, just IS seconds are allowed
for the local announcement, and
the station must be back on the
network within that time. This
remarkable Synchronization of
movements in widely scattered
points is accomplished by keeping
the clocks of the network stations
