BRITAIN PLANS PROTEST
AGAINST ADVERTISERS
Director General Objects to Spon-
sored Programs by Eng
lishmen Abroad.

That the British government will soon
protest to nearby foreign countries, not
ably France and Holland, against the
use of their broadcasting stations for
tire sale of time to British advertisers
seeking to reach the radio audience in
the British Isles, was revealed by Sir
John Reith, director general of the
British Broadcasting Corporation, dur
ing his recent visit in this country.
Sir John stated that a few firms in
England, finding the British radio not
open to them for the sponsorship OF
programs because the British broadcast
ing monopoly carries no commercial
programs, have gone to neighboring
countries where regulations against ad-
vertising do not exist. Their obvious
intent, he said, is to attract the home
audience to their programs in order to
advertise their products.
The British radio chieftain, even after
reviewing the way things are done in
America, was firmly convinced that the
sponsorship idea is not for his country.
He said he felt certain that the gov
ernments of the few European countries
that permit commercially sponsored
programs along the American plan will
acquiesce in the proposal that British
advertisers be barred from their sta
tions. If foreign firms attempted to ex-
plot their goods in America via the
radio. he said, the American Govern
ment would probably enter the same
protest.

RADIO NEWS CORPORATION
GIVEN FIVE SHORT WAVES
Additional Channels Assigned to
Organization to Overcome
Summer Static.

Five short waves have been added to
the two long waves granted by the Fed
eral Radio Commission to the American
Radio News Corporation, Hearst sub
sidiary, which is developing an auto
matte typewriter system Of news
distribution to newspapers in various
parts of the country. The system Is the
invention of william H. G. Finch, well
known radio engineer, who is supervis-
ing its installation.
Because of Summer static on long
waves of 95 and 80 kilocycles, the COM
mission has authorized the Hearst COM
pany to transmit during daylight hours
also on 1925, 7,640, $3.50, $3.50 and TO-
900 kilocycles on the condition that no
nterferencesrsSults to foreign countries.
The first two channels are used by the
Federal State Marketing Service in Cali
fornia and the three latter are at present
used in international services by radio
telegraph stations in Australia, China,
Norway, the Philippines, Germany, Bra
zil and the Canary Islands.
Commission engineers expect that no
interference will result during the day
time, the stations using 5000 watts
power. The long wave stations are built
or building at Carlsbad, N. j.; FINLEY
Park, ILL.,, and San Mateo, Calf, where
the short waves will also be used. There
is a possibility that Press Wireless, Inc,
cooperative radio subsidiary of a group
of leading American newspapers, will
protest this short wave grant, since 1t
was made without hearing and since
the courts last year rejected Hearst's
claim to right to develop an independent
radio news distributing service on the
short waves.

EARLY TELEWS|ON
RESULTS EXPECTED
Members of Radio Commits.
sion Impressed by Reports
of Progress Made.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Official recognition of television's ar
rival at the public service stage of de-
velopment now is expected to come
sooner than was anticipated a year or
even some months ago.
Members Of the Federal Radio Com
mission indicate they have been i'm
pressed by confidential reports OF re-
cent technical advantages in the art Of
transmitting pictures and images.
In view Of progress in visual broad
casting and the Increasing interest in
that branch of radio, 1t Is considered
probable that the commission within a
year will lift some Of its restrictions on
television.
Commission Cautious.
The commission has kept television
on an experimental basis, believing that
it should not be placed on the same
footing as sound broadcasting until it
is of recognized educational and enter
tainment value to the general public.
Some workers in television insist,
however. that radio sight has reached a
stage comparable to radio sound in the
head-phone listening days and that fur
ther development will be fastened by
putting 1t on a commercial license basis.
About 20 television stations are oper-
ating rather regularly on short wave
lengths with experimental licenses Four
bands of frequencies, each 100 kilocy-
Giles wide, are allotted to these stations.
which Of necessity divide time on the
air.
Wave Lengths Problem.
Once the commission puts television
on a commercial basis, scramble for
wave lengths similar to the rush for
audible broadcasting licenses is ex-
pected
Finding available frequencies to ac-
commodate the demand will be a prob
lem.
1t Is possible that suitable and
''roomy" place for television will be
found in those uncharted regions Of
the ether, the extremely high and un-
used frequencies above 40, 900 kilocycles.
The commission already has granted
construction permits for television sta
lions which will experiment in bands
from $4,000 to 10000 kilocycles.

GERMAN RADIO FANS
INTERESTED IN WAR
Observation-Disclosures Station and
Russian BroadcasterS Fight
ing for Ether.

BY the Associated Press.
Observation-Disclosures, Ger
many.-The interest Of German radio
fans is centering upon war" between
the German Observation-Disclosures sta
ton and the Soviet broadcaSting sta
tions, nearly all of which are high pow
cred.
German radio fans eagerly watch for
the outcome Of this ether fight by alter
nately tuning in on Koenigswlster-
hansen and the various Russian sta
tons
The fight started when the "Deutsch-
landsender" annunoced a series Of lee
lures in German on agricultural social
economic and cultural condition in
Soviet Russia. The opening talk was
excellently received in Russia, but it
aroused much comment.
Soviet authorities resorted to counter
measures Immediately. The German
Communist Wilhelm PECK was engaged
to speak over the Russian broadcasting
station about the same conditions in
Germany.
AS soon as the Observation-Disclosures be-
gins with its lectures the Soviet stations
start broadcasting Picks talks.
There Is much guessing among Ger
man radio fans as to who will be the

assistant to the program director,
each orchestra heard over the net
work has been selected in conSid-
Grafton Of It's type and appeal.
For radio fans who enjoy the
quick tempo and unusual effects
of continental dance rhythmS,
there is Felix Ferdinando and his
Park Central Orchestra. Having
played throughout Europe and the
West indies fora number Of years
Ferdjnando has imported an in
teresting collection of tangos and
other foreign rhythms. Harold
Stern, director of the st. Morit2
music, also specializes in the Euro
pean method of playing.
A decided contrast to their
offerings is the slow, soft music
and singing OF Will Osborne
which has It's greatest following
among the younger set.
Guy Lombardo's unit has its
individual tempo, with arrange
ments entirely different from any
other orchestra. The instrument
tation of his Royal Canadians,
which excludes string inStru-
mentS, is largely responsible for
the popularity of the music. With
one exception, every member OF
the band halls from Ontario and
for the past seven years they have
played as unit. AS result, each
man knows the capabilities and
moves Of the other, so it is pos
Sible for them to improviSe.

scribe Nat Brusiloff's tunes. He
has a Staunch following among
those who prefer their music
sweet and heated" Jacques
Renard and Jack Denny both
present the smooth, melodiouS
type of dance music, emphasizing
the melody itself, rather than sub
merged in complicated arrange
mentS. Strings are their forte.
The Negro Spirituals and elabo-
rate orchestrations are the main
factors in Paul Tremaine's music
which, incidentally, contains the
only harp in a broadcast band
Tremaine makes the scores for his
II musicians himself, and it is
the creScendo that holds the most
appeal for him, although he often
projects into his programs light
interpretations.

styled "the old maestro" enhances
his rich, full dance music with in

Inventor i'm Holland
Preserving Food by
Use of Short Waves

Bad eggs will soon be things Of
the past in new sense II Robert
Pape of Soest, Holland, can sub
stantiate his claim of being able
to arrest the decomposition Of
organic products by means of
ultra-short wave radiations from
a special transmitter. Reports
declare that his invention, gen.
Grating waves between IS cent?
meters and 1smeter, will after 10
days and within a radius Of about
20 feet set up an electromagnetic
field in which no organic product
can decompose.
In the inventors house, accord
ing to the reports, food several
months old has been seen in an
odorless and undecayed condition.
Included were eggs broken open
on plate, little dried but with
no sign Of decay, while eggs that
had been stored away a year ago
were opened and found "beauti-
fully yellow and without odor."
