duce the strength OF signal, he
declared, but constitutes an IN
reference, manifesting itself in
the form of noise. 1t is concelv-
able, he believes, that programs
might be broadcast at such high
mower that the interference from
Static might be reduced to a point
where it would not be objection
able In other words, he said,
static might not be eliminated,
bit it might possibly be weak in
ratio compared with the signal

DADIO will follow a dramatic

"'THERE'S bum microphone in

of the National Broadcasting Co.
the other night while the Whittall
Anglo-PerSianS were on the air.
A faint squeak could be heard
whenever Edwin Whitney, narra-
tor on the program, spoke. 1t
was a form of interference new
to engineers.
H. E. Kenny, studio engineer,
finally located the sound. 1t was
Whitney's very stiff collar rubbing
against his equally stiff boiled"
shirt.

TURKISH FAILURE LAID
TO RADIO "BOOTLEGGERS"
Company, Bankrupt, Unable to Re-
sumo Broadcasting Unless $35, 900
Subsidy Is Granted.

ISTANBUL, CP.-Five thousand
Turkish radio fans are mourning the
demise of the Constantinople Radio
Corporation.
The company has gone bankrupt and
cannot renew its broadcasting unless
the Turkish government grants 1t a
subsidy of $35, 900. This company, which
held the monopoly on the sale OF radio
sets in Turkey, complained that the
great number of radio "bootleggers"
were largely responsible for the f1nan-
cial disaster.
The Angora broadcasting station,
which was recently inaugurated, Is in
creaslng its activity now that 1t has be-
come the sole station in Turkey.
