So RADIO STATIONS
SEEK MORE POWER
Commissions Aide Would
Give % Broadcasting Units
Right to Use $4,000 Watts.
BY ROBERT MACK.

At least three dozen broadcasting sta
lions will crack1e through the ether
behind booming power If the Federal
Radio Commission approves the latest
recommendations Of its chief examiner,
Ellis A. Yost.
Without budging from his original
recommendation that maximum power
OF $4,000 watts be accorded to all
cleared channel stationS-Some SIS of
them-Mr. Yost has submitted his sup
Elemental report to that body, in which
he was forced to select only stations
from "a applicants to fill the vacancies
existing for the maximum power under
commission regulations. But in recon-
mending those eight, the chief examiner
also urged that the power of all other
qualified cleared channel stations be
boosted to $4,000 watts, which, he held,
would not violate the regulations.
Summing up, If Mr.. YoSt'S recon-
mendations are adopted. there will be
% stations of $4,000 watts power oper-
ating on 20 of the 40 cleared channels
in this country. On the remaining 20
channels, at least Is stations-all of them
applicants for the 5O,000-watt maximum
would be licensed for $4,000 watts.
And the way would be opened for the
other score of cleared channel stations
to increase their power to $4,000 watts.
The stations recommended by the
chief examiner for $4,000 watts are
WIZ, New York; WCAU, Philadelphia;
WSM, Nashville: WSB, Atlanta: WCCO,
Minneapolis; WGN, Chicago; KPO, San
Francisco, and KOA, Denver.
Those IL stations of the "a applicants
he recommends for increases to Is, 900
watts, and which were applicants for
the maximum power, are WBZ, Spring
field, Mass; WOR, Newark; WHANf,
Rochester; WIAS, Louisville; WHIT,
Charlotte; WAPI, Birmingham; KVOO,
Tulsa; WMAQ, Chicago; WHO-WOC,
Des MoineS; KFAB, Lincoln; KSL., Salt
Lake City. and KGO, Oakland. Sta
ton WBBM, in Chicago, one of the
20 cleared channel applicants, already
has power of $4,000 watts. Four other
stations, WREC, Memphis; WOLF,
Chicago: WWJ, Detroit, and WTMJ,
Milwaukee, were eliminated because
they are not on cleared channels.
The commissions course Is profile
NAUTICAL. At least 20 days must elapse
before 1t acts, for that time is allowed
for the filing of objections or excep-
tionS to the report. Testimony at the
hearings was overwhelmingly in SUD-
port of high power as the means of
providing maximum service to listeners
and eliminating disturbance. 1t is felt
in some circles that the commission
will adopt the original Yost report and
permit the maximum power on all
cleared channels. Should 1t decide on
any other course, litigation Is GER
tairty.

SPACE ABSORBS ENERGY
Antenna Catches Amount of Fly
Walking Up Window Pane.

Though American broadcasting sta
tons use an aggregate Of nearly $780,
900 watts Of power, an engineering pro-
feSSor Of Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology has estimated that the
power received by the average receiving
sets antenna amounts to the equivalent
Of the energy consumed by the common
housefiy walking distance of one foot
up window pane.
Comes now an engineer of the Fed
eral Radio Commission with a calcula-
ton showing that, with Is, SOC, 900 radio
receiving sets IN use in the United
States, their aggregate consumption"
Of broadcaSting power amounts to only
1876 watts. All the rest Of the broad
cast energy is disSipated in space, but
the magical electron tubes in the radio
receivers build up the infiniteSsimal an
tenna energy to the audible volumes.

Stations Showing Least Deviation
in Broadcasting Recorded.
An "honor roll" Of broadcasting sta
lions, necessarily incomplete because
only about half the country's stations
were measured, has been compiled by
william D. Terrell, chief of the De-
partment of Commerce Radio Division.
whose staff of experts scattered
throughout the country monitors sta
lions to determine whether they are
guilty of "wave wobbling" or wandering
OF their assigned frequencieS.
Among the 339 stations measured by
the district inspectors during one
month recently 101 deviated less than
200 cycles in spite of the fact that Fed
eral Radio Commission regulations al
low up to 500 cycles. This 500-cycle
tolerance, incidentally, will probably be
narrowed very considerably soon be-
cause Of advances in radio technique,
especially improvements in the quartz
CRYSTALS, which enable radio stations to
maintain their assigned wave lengths.

Cheese IT. the Cops

NTAE WEST, that perennial thorn
4V1 in Mr.. Summers side, has
done it again. I haven't seen 1.-THE
Constant Sinner" her latest saga OF
the underworld. But my scouts tell
me it's pretty bad. That is, she has
left nothing whatever to the mag
ination.
I am not a sincere lover of
baWdiness. But there is something
about Mae West-a certain in
definable quality-which fascinates
me. Her ribald wisecracks do not
offend me as they would if mcuthed
by any one else. One can not help
liking her and sympathizing with
her, the while deploring her COM
plete lack of moral sense.
OF course, I am speaking now of
the actress, not the woman. Very
likely, off stage she is more like
the campfire girl she processes to
be in her curtain speech than the
scheming adventures she depicts in
three acts and sixteen scenes.
think it might be a good idea
for Miss West to stick to acting and
leave the writing of her plays to
more expert hands. I should like to
see her in really good play. I
don't mean to suggest that She do
Ophelia or even a society drama.
She is essentially fitted for the role
she has assumed.
But even a play about lady Of
the evening can be subtle and less
hagrantly shocking. And I'm sure
Mae West could immortalize such a
character. Almost, I think, she
could be another Du Barry.

Britain,s crisis and the U. S. A.

Americans need not lose their heads over the
British financial crisis Great Brtains suspension of
gold payments does not touch her foreign obga-
TONS nor does it jeopardize American investments.
Although America certainly will suffer if states
men and international bankers allow the British
emergency to cause world panic, such calamity
be avoided, and doubtless will be avoided
We do not want to minimize the seriousness of
Britains problem. Her postwar economic decline re-
qures basic readustment of her business and foreign
trade structure.
She probably never will regain her position the
worlds leading merchant and banker-that position,
for better worse has passed to the United States
But she ultimately can attain prosperity a less
ambitious world power
Meanwhile, she has accumulated wealth Of CEN
fury the worlds richest nation to tide her the
period of transition and economic readjustment That
is why any pancky attitude today in retaliation to
British finances would be foolish
Actually the immediate British financial crisis is
artificial than real If she wishes to restore
her gold basis she do easily by using-as she
did in tne-her vast private investments abroad
to support the pound Sterling.
II she does not return to gold basis it will not
be because she not do so. but because majority
Of her nnancers and economists have come to feel
that reestablshment Of the gold basis in 1925-and
the consequent dedation-was a mistake.
They argue that 1t is better for Britain to sacrce
