That when broadcasters engage

and in placing the business on a
sound economic basis the follow

ga That service to the listener
is a primary requisite to COM

"(b) That quality Of production
should not be sacrificed to COM
mercial expediency.
"(c) That each advertiser be re-

the entertainment or education of
the listener for the privilege of
reaching the radio audience with
his message.
"(d) That Is should be the OBJ
jective of each commercial sta

other basis may be characterized
as unfair competition with other
stations or advertising media.
"(e) That a consistent effort be

Federal Commission to Hear Final
Arguments Tuesday to Select
Stations for Increase.

Total assets Of nearly one billion dol

to $4,000 watts. With the cost OF sta

recent hearings before Chief Examiner
Ellis A. Yost that they were ready to
expend an aggregate Of $4,415, 900 to
erect new transmitterS or revanp their
old ones to accommodate the higher
power.
Sitting as body, the commission, on
Tuesday, will hear final arguments In
the high power issue. These arguments
grow out of the fling Of Is exceptions"
to Chief Examiner Yost's second high
power report, in which he recommends
that stations be authorized to
boost their power to $4,000 watts and IL
to $4,000 watts. After the arguments
which may take the better part of the
week, the commission must rule on the
Yost report.
Then the whole high power issue,
with all its ranifications, will be thrown
into the courts, for whatever selections
the rejected stations will appeal.
The "a stations applying for the
higher powers, most Of them leaders in

HOME TELEWS|ON
SET IS ANNOUNCED
With Screen Size Handicap
Removed, Nationwide
Use Is Predicted.
BY ROBERT MACK.

Television has outgrown the peep
hole" stage and now may be viewed by
the whole family circle on q screen two
feet square, to the accompaniment Of
regular sound programs.
From the past few weeks of swift de-
velopment in visual radio comes this
announcement from Clem F. Wade.
president Of the Western Television
Corporation Of Chicago and one OF the
televiSion pioneers. These enlarged
pictures, he says, may be projected
upon wall screen or a pedestal screen
in front Of the receiver. With this de-
velopment. he asserts television literal
ly shakes of its swaddling clothes and
becomes a new art, with potentialities
for entertainment heretofore expressed
only in the hopes Of scientists.
Others Plan Sets.
Other television experimenters also
are planning introduction Of home re-
ceivers in the near future, to keep pace
with the developments in transmission.
New York's drst Synchronized sight and
sound unit, comprising Sound Sation

Size Handicap Removed.
For the most part, home television
receivers have produced pictures of
small dimensions, visable only to one or
two persons at very close range This
has hampered their popularity, accord
ing to leaders IN the industry With
the removal Of the size handicap snt
with impending Developments which
promise the commercial production Of
large screen television receivers ut
popular prices, it Is held that nation
wide acceptance Of television as an en-
tertainment medium viii soon follow.
A two-foot-square picture was de-
cided upon, according to Mr.. Wade, as
best suited for performance within the
average home. A picture four or five
feet square Is considered preferable for
the average assembly room. The new
type televiSion receiver will approx
mate midget radio set in size The
complete unit for reception of pictures

was to be his choice of career. Feel
ing that it was a passing boyish fancy
his father told him to wait; when he
was a bit older he could take piano
lessons. But the boy was not to be
swayed. He saved his pennies until he
had enough to buy a cheap accordion
and book Of instructions. He showed
astonishing powers of Sslf-development
and his parents arranged for him to
study both piano and violin. At IL he
started writing his own little pieces and
at IL he sold a composition. At II his
career Is q professional musician was
assured.
The rest Of his story Is compact with
accomplishment. His abilities were
quickly recognized, both as a composer
and conductor He joined the music
publishing firm of Schir-ner and later
became musical director for the Pathe
photographic recordings and then chief
composer for Paramount Studios. He
has scored more than 1000 compost
tons and written more than 400 pieces,
including "Indianola." Arabian Nights
and Burning Sands" He Is now on
the Columbia Broadcasting System
Musical Advisory Board and conducts
number Of programs, including his
own Tone Pictures

NEW RADIO CITY MODEL
STARTED ON PROTESTS
Engineers Work on Revised Plans
for Rockefeller Center, Which
Will Be Unconventional.

Reports from New York announce
that architects have started work on a
new model for the $3.50 ,Ooo,o amuse-
ment center in the heart of Manhattan

cism was general after the recent show

the highly utilitarian aspect of the lay
out was far from expressing the spirit
OF radio. Moreover, there was little to
distinguish. the several skyscrapers and
other buildings in the nine-building
group from other New York architec-
ture.
Hugh S. Robertson of the engineer
ing firm in charge of construction says
the model exhibited last month was
purely tentative. While the new plans
will not be conventional, he indicated
that they must necessarily be utilitarian
in order to make the project economic
ally feasible. 1t would be impossible, he
said, to make 1t pay II built along
