World
By BROADCASTER

Application, to the Federal
Radio Commission for permission
to operate an experimental ESQ
watt booster" station in Wash
ington to carry in synchroniza-
ton for II hours daily the pro-
grams Of WABC, the Columbia
broadcasting systems key station
in New York city, was announced
today by william S. Paley, presi-
dent of the coast-to-coast net
work.
Attention was directed to the
fact that, If approved by the COM
mission, this will be the first
time in the history Of American
radio that q key station has been
linked on its own wave-lengtn
with a booster" to repeat all its
programs. Thus the citizens OF
the Nations Capital would re
ceive the same service that
wABC renders New York on a
wave length which. insofar as
Washingtonians are concerned,
is TOW virtually going to waste.
The project represents an attempt
ut conservation of a vital ma
tional ce-the nations
broadcaSting channels.
Mr.. Paley said:
I'VE are hopeful that the
Federal Radio Commission will
agree with us that q real
service to Washington and the
nation can be given under the
arrangement we propose. At
the same time we believe this
drastic experiment will mark
nm advance fer the radio broad
- casting industry as n whole,
demonstrating the possibilities
Of SynchrOniEatiOn to = degree
never before attempted. In
selecting Washington as the
scene Of our experiment we
have been guided by our belief
that the Nations Capital Is en-
tftaed to full and complete
access to Columbia programs
in their entirety.
If the Columbia application is
granted, it was explained, station
WMAL in Washington will con-
tinue its affiliation with the Co.
lu1nbia Broadcasting System prob
abiy for several months after the
expiration Of its present contract
November IL, 1881. It was esti-
mated that the construction
would require at least 80 days
after commission approval is
obtained.
AZ. A. Leese, owner of Radio
Station WMAL, said that the re-
lationShip between his station and
Columbia remains extremely
cordial.
The new arrangement, if con-
sunnmated, he pointed out, would
give WMAL more time on the
air in which to give additional
local service to Washington
listeners. Because of demand for
time on WNIAL by the network,
1t was becoming extremely diff
cult to take care Of local broad
casts Of primary interest to the
citizens OF the Capital.

WHEAT PRICES
FIRM ON BULL
NEWS REPORTS
Government Crop Estimate
Expected to Show Large
Decrease.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO. Sept. 10.-Wheat was
firm as the Board of Trade opened
today, but advances were the small
est of fractions. Steadiness at
Liverpool was occasioned by the
withdrawal of Danubian offers and
a bullish French report.
Otherwise there was not much
action as the trade was awaiting
the issuance of the government re-
port. Corn was steady with wheat.
traders also looking for the gov
eminent estimate on the crop. Oats
suffered from heavy selling and
broke sharply despite the bullish
Canadian report.
AT the opening wheat was Is cent
higher, corn was unchanged to i
cent up and oats were unchanged
to Il cent lower. Provisions were
firm.
Liverpool Opens Higher
Liverpool opened higher, as ex-
pected, and was up Is to u cent
at mid-afternoon. A government
report is due on wheat late TODAY
which is expected to show a reduc-
ton on the outturn of spring
wheat, especially in the northwest,
where conditions have been unfa-
vorable all year.
The Canadian government report
last night was bearish, showing
larger than expected, although still
much below last year. A feature
here of late has been the steady
absorption of wheat as offered in
the pit apparently by the larger
commission houses. However, there
is no indication of a change in the
prevailing dizziness.
September Interest Large
The government report is ex-
pected to show a reduction from the
August figures on corn owing to the
heat, and will probably be in line
with private estimates of last
week. Interest hinges on the &C
ton Of September. Some believe
that the heavy selling of this month
recently has been by a large local
operator against hedges of the cash
article. The open interest in Sep
TENDER is still large. The weather
remains very warm with tempera-
lures of 108 recorded in the north
