RADIO POLICE CHIEF
TO BEGIN WORK SOON
Station in Nebraska Will Check on
Broadcasters and Report on
Violators.

The master radio traffic cop will be-
gin covering his ethereal beat" in about
a month, and in way that augurs
trouble for transgressors of the radio
law.
For this radio police chief, the new
constant frequency monitoring station,
located at Grand Island, Nebr, in the
geographic center of the Nation. will
make a daily check and report of the
operations of all American radio sta
lions that are violating the technical
regulations and thereby causing inter-
ference.
Vastly improved reception for listen
erS should result once the master traffic
cop becomes acquainted with its beat"
When a broadcasting station is de-
tected operating off its assigned fire.
quency 1t will be reported TO the Fed
eral Radio Commission at Washington,
which has the authority to take appro-
PIRATE punitive action. Stations, 1t is
believed will exercise greater caution
in the condition of their apparatus to
prevent webbing" once few Of them
feel the sting of this new Set-up.
The apparatus installed at the moni-
tor station is more than 200 times as
sensitive as the ordinary home receiv-
ing set The station is under the i'm
mediate supervision of the Radio Divi-
sion of the Department of Commerce,
which is the Federal radio police agency.

SHOWDOWN IS SEEN
|. OVER RADIO WAVES
New Project May Cause Dis
pute involving Mexico,
U. S. and Canada.

Portents of q dispute over radio in
which the United States and Canada
may become involved with Mexico, are
seen in the report current here that
new high-powered broadcaSting station
will shortly 60 into operation on the
Mexican side Of the Rio Grande.
Also lending support to the growing
belief that showdown over the sc oil
the broadcaSting wave lengths among
the nations of North America is inev-
liable In the near future, another re-
port to the Department OF Commerce,
this one from It's Dallas once, tells of
interferences being caused by station
in Mexico on one Of the wave lengths
shared by American and Canadian sta
tons.
The new Mexican broadcasting sta
ton. about which definite facts are still
being sought by the Washington author
tiles. is reported to be in course of con-
struction at ReynoSa, in the Rio Grande
Valley. From the scraps of informa-
ton available 1t appears to be planning
to 60 on one of the cleared channels
now used by an American station. Its
call letters will be XIBC and its power
5000 watts, and it proposes to broad
cast both in English and Spanish.
September l is reported to be the
scheduled date Of It's opening, and
American interests are said to be back
of the new broadcasting project in spite
of the Mexican law forbidding the alien
ownership of radio station.
In view Of the lack of off1cial informa-
ton. there was disposition here to be-
little the reports about the new station.
Certain ofi1cials indicated that they had
heard of sort of badger" game. in
which certain American stations, espe-
cially in Texas, had been threatened
with usurpation OF their wave lengths
unless they agreed to pay of those who
had Mexican broadcasting projects in
mind.
1t is believed unlikely that the Mexi-
| can government, which maintains COR
dial radio relations with the Americans,
in spite of the fact that the United
States and Canada have divided all the
broadcasting channels between them
without regard to Mexico, would not
brook any such game.
That interference has been expert
enced on the 890-kilocycle channel,
which is shared by American and Cana
dian stations, was reported officially to
the Department Of Commerce as late as
July by the Federal supervisor of ra-
dio at New Orleans. The call letters of
the interfering station were XES. which
! Is listed in records available here as
being located at Cabo Lardo, Mexico,
| and as being officially assigned to the
| frequency of ! 400 kilocycles.

RETURN TO RADIO
LAW OF 1927 URGED
Bar Report Favors Giving Federal
Authorities Free Hand on
Allotting Facilities.

A free hand in the distribution of
broadcasting facilities throughout the
Nation must be given the Federal radio
authorities II waste of these facili~
ties or the creation of intolerable inter-
ference is to be averted.
This is the view of the committee on
communications of the American Bar
Association, which advises in its new
report that the present restrictive pro-
visions of law be repealed and that
other proposed ALLEGATION plans be dis
carded. a return to the original law
OF 1927. which provides that facilities
be distributed on fair efficient and
equitable service among the States and
communities, is advocated.
This second annual report OF the
committee will be submitted to the full
association at its fifty-third annual
meeting In Chicago next month. 1t
will be presented by Louis G.. Caldwell,
former general counsel of the Radio
Commission, chairman; Stephen Davis.
New York City: Cassius e. Gates. Seat
tie; William C. Green, st. Paul, and
Howard S. Leroy, Washington.
Withdrawal of its opposition to the
CouZens bill for the creation Of a Fed
eral communications commission to take
over" all of the radio and communica-
tons functions Of existing governmental
ogencies now is recommended. Last
year the committee voiced vigorous OBJ
lection to the proposed legislation and
obtained from the full association an
instruction of opposition.
Among other things, the committee
urges that the existing radio law be so
amended as to permit the merging of
wire and wireless companies in external
communication.

ITALYS RECEIVING SET
PRODUCTION is TAGGING
Contest Between National Teams
Is Organized to Increase
Country's Output.

Though Italy boasts q 100, O0O-Watt
broadcasting station near Rome and
many smaller stations throughout the
country, the domestic production of ra-
dio receiving sets has Jagged to such an
extent that the countryS broadcasting
monopoly has felt constrained to organ
ize contest between national firms for
the construction OF receiving sets. The
prize to the successful competitor Is a
one-year contract for the production
of 1000 three-tube and 400 other type
sets per month.
The competition will be repeated an
nually in an effort to make italy inde-
pendent of imports of radio receivers.
Sets are to be sold to the public on the
installment plan. Short-wave sets, as
well as those capable of tuning the
broadcast band, which In Italy is
counted as 100 to 545 meters Gas con-
trasted to the band 200 to $50 meters
employed in the United States and
Canada, are included in the competi-
ton.

ORIGIN OF S O S TRACED

Contrary to popular impression, the
international distress signal, S o S, does
not mean save our souls" or save cur
ship"
When first adopted at the London
international Radio Conference in 1919
this combination of three dots, three
dashes and three dots in the Morse
code was selected because of its SIM
plicity and the fact that 1t can be
recognized by even the least expert
enced radio man.
Previously the distress call was COD,
which consisted of a dash-dot, dash
dot for c.; two dashes, dot dash for @,
and a dash, two dots for D.
