COLOSSUS OF RADIO
TO COMBAT STATIC
Westinghouse to Build Worlds
Strongest Broadcaster as
Experiment.

A colossus of broadcasting- station
OF 100000 watts power. or eight times
the energy used by the present-dav
super stations" - will be crashing
through space within the next few
months in an effort to whip static and
fading, the arch-enemies of good recep-
ton.
This worlds strongest station. an ex-
perimental one, is proposed by the West
inghouse Electric Operating Station
KDKA at Pittsburgh. 1t will be KDKA
in disguise. as matter of fact. carving
on Superpower operations during the
early morning hours on the 9SO-kilo-
cycle channel used by the Pittsburgh
station and from the same location.
The higheSt-powered station ever to
broadcast up to the present is the ex-
perimental tranSmittAr of 100000 watts
being operated by tie General Electric
Co. from Schenectady, where WGY is
located. Since last Fall it has been
romping up and down the broadcast
spectrum from midnight to early morn
ing trying to prove the advantages of
high power. Actually, however 10000
watts is the limit on power for regular
broadcast operations in this country.
and only eight of the 6O0-odd stations
are privileged to use it.
Development of high-poWered trans
mitters, prevention o: blanketing, over
riding of static and fading, and, of
greatest importance, the feasibility
of Synchronization, or the stimuli
taneous operation of high-powered
stations on the same channel. are the
reasons behind the experiments with
the new KDKA transmitter 1t is UNI
derstood that the Westinghouse sta
ton will be Synchronized with the
Schenectady transmitter with equal
powers of 200 900 watts as one phase
of the tests. which would place on the
same channels two stations either of
which could cover the Nation individ-
ually on good reception nights.
Westinghouse has filed with the Fed
eral Radio Commission an application
for permission to build what will be ra-
dos new Goliath. 1t already has been
given preliminary approval and final
commission sanction is virtually fore
gone conclusion.

BILL WILL RELIEVE
ALEXANDRIA CITY
Measure Amends Charter So
as to Make Legal $780,
600 Bond Issue.
BY a staf1 Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, January 9.-The
first legislation affecting Northern Vir-
sinia in the present session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly, which convened yester-
day, was embodied in bill that was in
troduced by Senator Frank l.. Ball to
amend the charter of the City of Alexan-
dria so as to validate a proposed bond
issue of $750,000.
The bonds, which have already been
sold to l.. e. Smoot of Alexandria, were
issued to pay the cost of the annexa-
ton of a portion of Arlington County
and to make certain public improve
ments. The authority of the City Coun-
Gil to issue these bonds under the pres
ent charter was questioned by the at
torneys for the purchaser of the bonds
and it became necessary to amend the
charter to meet these objections.
Move to Save Time.
Senator Ball introduced the bill at
the request of Delegate j. Fred Birrel
of Alexandria. This procedure was
taken in order to save time, as the or
ganiZation of the Senate was a hold
over from the last term. while in the
House 1t is necessary to reorganize,
which was expected to take all Of todays
session.
Owing to the fact that the vote for
governor will be canvaSssd in the House
tomorrow. serious doubt arose as to
whether the bill could be acted upon if
introduced in the House prior to Friday.
Bills in the Senate must be printed
