MONTE CARLO DID NOT MAKE so MUCH
 MONEY LAST YEAR
Only Cleared Up Something Over Four Millions - Americans Didn't Gamble Very Largely

Paris, April 23.-(UP).--The di- rectors of the famed society of Sea Baths have announced that the profits of the green gambling tables of the Monte Carlo Casino for the past financial year were but $b.zb0.- 900 instead of S6.7S0.000 as the year before. They blamed America.
 A survey of all the 1e9 casinos or France show that Americans are gambling far less abroad than they once did. Gone are the Yankee tour ists who tipped the croupiers hand fui of red l00-franc chips.
 Advance statistics are pessimistic and may show at the end of the year that the total gambling profits of the 169 casinos may amount in round figures to 300. 900. 900 francs. as com pared with 337.o00.000 last year and 405, 900. .00 in 1929. Tn 1928 the total was 413,0 900 francs. There are less American tourists and those who do come seem to play for the fun of 1t and limit their stakes. Without the incentive of wild piunRing. other gamblers play with small chips and the casinos and the state taxes suf- fer.

last election. Therefore, 1t is felt. changes at this time would be inad- visable.
 The same goes for the two dis tricts in the state which went demo- cratic in the last election. The re- publicans desire to see whether these districts will go back to normalcy lin the next election. If they do they will do their redistricting of the state In . little different manner than they will if the districts insist upon remaining democratic.
 Therefore, at the present time re- pubiicans are said to favor having the sixth congressman elected at large and then allow the next two years to eiapse in the hopes that returns from the five districts now | in the state will show . return to normaicy in the national election in I1932.
 A hitch, however, develops in the plan which, though. the republicans are not considering too seriously. There is the possibility of the demo- cratic strength in the senate and house becoming greater in the next election. A democratic sweep of the state is anticipated in the rresiden. tiai election, due to the collapse of the Hoover promises of prosperity. This would possibly mean Q demo- cratic senate, at least, and then the Republicans would be tied up in their plans for division.

Folks Behind
The Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

v WILBUR BUDD HULICK, the
n "Budd" of the Gloom ChaS-
wv ers, has had q very busy IS
years He has been a COL
lege foot ball star. a saxo-
phone player, an orchestra leader, a
crooner, an announcer, a continuity
writer, radio production man, an
actor, a dancer, soda clerk and a
commercial representative for a tele-
graph company.
Even when he was a small boy in As
bury Park, N. j., Hulick knew he would
be associated with the show business in
some form when he grew up. Possessed
of an excellent voice, he starred in
amateur theatrical productions in his
home town when he was not studying
or tearing off long end runs for the
ASbury Park High School foot bell team.
At Georgetown University Hulick en-
rolled for a music course and spent
much of his time with the glee and
instrumental clubs, singing and playing
the saxophone. He also played foot ball
and was a member Of Alpha Gamma
Phi Fraternity.
For q sl1ovt time after his graduation,
in 1929, Hulick footed and crooned with
Johnny Johnsons Orchestra. Later he
worked in Buffalo as commercial rep
resentative for a telegraph company.
Several weeks after he startd on this
Job they wiped out that department and
Hulick became q soda clerk.
One day an executive Of Station
WEBR saw Hulick cutting up for the
customers. He was taken to the studio
and given q test before the microphone
and hired. Three months later the
Buffalo Broadcasting Corporation signed
him as an announce, actor and con-
tinuity writer.
Previous to his success in THE Gloom
Chasers" act, which had It's inception at
WNfAK, Buffalo, and later was trans
ferred to WKBW, Hulick was famed
chiefly as the Don Of 1.-THE Happiness
House" program. He also appeared in
1.-THE Maj. Bullmore Expedition" epi-
sodes and as Elisha In 1.-The Plain
Folks" act. In addition, he crooned on
several programs each week.
Before THE Gloom ChaSers" came
to New York to present their act over
the Columbia network they appeared
for week at Shea's Buffalo Theater,
breaking all attendance records. HUI
lick's greatest hope is that, in addition
to his radio work, he viii be featured
in a stage show some day.

RHODE ISLAND TAKES
LEAD IN RADIO CENSUS
Federal ofhcials Think Smallest
State Has Good Chance to Win
in Final Analysis.

Little Rhode Island may lead the
Nation as the most "radio-minded''
State, with an average of better than
every other one Of its families owning
receiving sets.
Statistics released yesterday by the
Census Bureau reveal that this State
geographically the smallest in the
Union-has vaulted into the lead in the
radio set census undertaken as a part
of the population census last year. 1t
leads the "a other States and the Dis
trict of Columbia, for which returns
already have been compiled. and stands
an excellent chance of winning in the
final analysis, according to Federal
officials.
Great general interest has been mani
fest in the radio census returns. They
denote the buying power Of the COM
munity as well as its cultural and gen
eral civic standing The set census Is
the first ever undertaken, and although
the figure will be as of April /, 1880,
the Federal Radio Commission, the
radio manufacturing industry, the
broadcasters and the national and other
advertisers who use the radio are vital
" interested in the returns.

than is possible by any other
method, including existing tele-
phone circuits. Background noise,
at least in the case Of special
disks made for broadcasting pur-
poses only, is below that Of the
tube noise inherent in radio
amplifiers, and the difficulties of
scheduling features Is eliminated
because the program director is
free to develop his own schedule. +"
So significant has been the
movement toward the acceptance
of recorded programs among small
and large stations alike that re-
ports have constantly been af1oat
that the networks themselves will
soon 60 into the recording bust
ness. Columbia is already in the
field indirectly through its control
over the Judson program service.
The N. B. G. could go into the field
overnight by reason of its cor
porate affiliation with r. c. A.
Victor, producers of monographs
and photograph records as well as
radios, and there is good reason
to believe N. B. G. will be in the
transcription field in a big way
by next Autumn.

ASK COURT RULING
ON WAVE LENGTHS
Three Chicago Stations Question
Commissions Power to Issue
Temporary Licenses.

Three of Chicago's leading broadcast
ing stations have gone to court over the
issuance of temporary licenses to them
by the Federal Radio Commission as an
outgrowth Of the high-power radio con-
troversy.
Appeals from the commissions action
of July inserting conditional clauses
in the renewal licenses of stations
WENR, WIS and WGN have been
taken to the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia. The wave length
being sought by station WTMJ. at Mil
waukee, while WGN's channel has been
applied for by station VIGIL Of the
Chicago Federation of Labor.
Because 1t has not yet decided the
high-power case. in which more than
two dozen stations are seeking the eight
vacant assignments for the SO, 000-watt
maximum power, the commission in
serted the temporary clauses in the
licenses dated August /.
Louis Titus, representing both sta.
ton WENR, operated by the National
Broadcasting Co., and WIS. operated BY
the Agricultural BroadcaSting Co., un-
der q working arrangement with the
N. B c., and Louis G.. Caldwell, repre-
Senting WGN. operated by the Chicago
4TlDune, IN Lnelr Appeals cnalenge The
commissions authority to issue condi-
tional licenses without hearing. They
also challenge the constitutionality OF
the action, claiming it violates the NTH
amendment to the Constitution, in that
the stations may not be deprived oil
property without compensation and due
process OF law. In addition, Mr.. Cald-
well contends that the clause is void, be.
cause the action was not taken by q
quorum Of the commission. but by enc
commissioner. The commission adj
journed over the Summer on June 26
he said, and the action was outside the
scope of less than quorum Of its men,

RADIO SETS PROVIDED
FOR MODERN OFFICES
N. B. c. Plans Special Daily Fea-
lures for Business Men, Start
ing Next Winter.

Coincident with the plans of the Ma
tional BroadcaSting Co. to begin next
Winter to broadcast special business
mems programs during certain morn
ing and afternoon hours, new ONCE
buildings are being designed with a
view to offering radios in each Office in
much the same manner as electric re-
frigeration Is now being provided in
many modern apartments.
First of the ONCE buildings to be so
equipped is the 33-story structure now
being built in Philadelphia for the
Philadelphia Saving Fund Society. A
special antenna receiving system Is
being installed for the operation Of re-
ceiving sets in each Of its 425 offices.
Sets will come with the offices or can
be provided by the tenant at his 0is-
cretion.
The system is the newly developed
Antenaplex of the r. c. A. Two an
tennas on the roof will supply pro-
grams to all of the offices without i'm
pairing the efficiency of each receiver
or limiting reception to any particular
station. It Is claimed for the system
that it eliminates the electrical inter-
ference usual in business districts with
large steel buildings.

Noted Radio Leader Quits Old
Place for New Laboratories
Planned in Los Angeles.

Having severed his connection with
the De Forest Radio Co. of Passaic,
N. j., DR.. Lee De Forest, renowned as
the father of radio because his inven-
ton Of the vacuum tube made modern
radio and its kindred arts possible, is

his inventions on television for theater
and large auditorium use" Ten thou
sand shares, already subscribed to, have
provided $4,000 to build an initial
