SERVICES TO PUBLIC
BROADCASTER'S TOPIC

Self-regulation and the confidence
that. given time to work out their own
problems, the broadcasters can con-
tinue to improve the services they are
rendering the public will be the key
notes of the ninth annual Convention
of the National Association of Broad
casters. meeting in Detroit october 26.
81 and %. according to an announce
ment by Philip G. LouckS, the aSSocia-
tons managing director.
No group of men recognize more
keenly their own handicaps than the
broadcaSters. said Mr.. LouckS. But no
group of men are more keenly aware
of their public service obligations, he
added. If some commercial announce
mentS are too long and if some are In
bad taste. the broadcaSters soon learn
about it from their audiences and it
is to their own advantage to correct
them. he continued.
Commercial practices will be one Of
the chief topics of discussion at the
convention, which will be opened with
a remote-control speech by President
Hoover that will also be broadcast over
the N. B. c. and c. B. S. networks.
Other speakers on the program are
Mai. Gen. Charles Nick. Saltzman,
chairman of the Federal Radio Com
mission; Senator elect Wallace White,
jr., co-author of the radio act; John
Benson, president of the American As
ISOLATION of Advertising Agencies Bond
Geddes, executive secretary Of the
Radio Manufacturing Association, and
lowering Tyson, director of the Ma
tional Advisory Council on Radio in
Education.

BROADCAST DEALS
SEEN SIGNIFICANT
Large-ScaIe Operations in
Station Market Continue
as "CheSS Came"
BY ROBERT MACK.

Large-scale operations In the broad
casting station market" are taking
place these days. portending significant
changes in the broadcasting structure.
In this master game of chess, with
the stations as the pawns, the two net
works, Columbia Broadcasting System
and National Broadcasting Co., are
making the primary moves to strength
on their respective positions for Nation
wide distribution of their programs In
vasion Of the local" broadcasting field
by William Randolph Hearst also is
viewed as an important development.
Chicago Situation Better.
Chicago's radio situation, admittedly
one OF the most muddled in the coun-
try because OF the preponderance of
stations In the same locality, is about
to regain normal balance with respect
to chain operations anyway after hav-
ing been thrown into an upheaval two
weeks ago. AS an aftermath Of the
transaction that switched Station
WMAQ from Columbia to N. B. c.,
Station WGN, another clear channel
outlet, is aligning with Columbia and
Is leaving the other network Both
changes are effective November /.
WMAQ, operated by the Chicago
Daily News, for long time has been
the Columbia anchor station in Chi
cago. National Broadcastipg Co. pur-
chased one-half interest in it and takes
over its management The station is
OF 5000 watts. WON is owned by the
Chicago Tribune, and is one of the
pioneer N. B. C. outlets, using rs 900
watts power. Under the new arrange
ment the station will continue to be
operated by the Tribune, with a sub
stantial portion Of evening time allotted
to Columbia programs on long-term
contract.
WGBS Deal Significant.
Purchase of Station WGBS, New
York City, by the American Radio News
Corporation, Hearst subsidiary, is an
other late development likely to have a
far-reaching effect on the future radio
structure. OF 500 watts, the station
will be the first newspaper owned out
let in the New York metropolitan area.
1t is understood that the Hearst or
ganization is negotiating for Station
WCAE. Pittsburgh.
that Columbia shortly will acquire a
stable station in the Middle West, and
another in large Ohio city. On Oc-
tober 10, two North Carolina stations.
WWNC. Asheville. and WIS, Columbia.
joined the N B. c. network and severed
affiliations for program service with

RADIO TENORS HOLD OWN
Increase in Other Types Seen by Critics Due to
Stations Efforts Satisfy Public Demand for
Variety.

| than formerly. In fact, he added, II
do not think either voice has the
slightest advantage over the other.
Each has its own indisputable place in
broadcasting programs
Another radio authority, Julius F.
Seebach, director Of program operations
for c. B. S., expresses an almost similar
opinion:
ut cannot be said that the general
taste for any one category of vocaliSts
is ascending, as compared to others
which are descending. We have been
taught that public taste does not re-
strict itself to any one type of voice.
las for the crooner, the tenor or the
baritone permanently outstripping the
others in popular taste, 1t is but neces-
sary to recall the numerous vocal fadS
that had their brief day in the radio
sun. Temporarily one class of singers
will be sensation and then find their
popularity declining as rapidly.
Until the improbable day arrives
when every listening ear will be soothed
| by the same voice, no singer need har-
Dor the slightest fear that his particu-
lar type Of performance Is lost to radio. .

NEW YORK, october II (P.-There
are no skids under the radio tenor.
Neither is he slipping because of his
lack of appeal.
Men in broadcasting who should
know, and one of them a baritone,
make this statement.
One might think they were wrong,
In view of the fact that there has been
a concentration lately on baritones, but
the broadcasters say a little more at
tention paid to other types Of singers
is just an effort toward increasing the
scope of the microphone toward greater
variety.
Reinald Werrenrath. outstanding
American baritone and vocal counsel at
N. B. c., doesn't believe the tenor has
lost favor
He said, This last year we have had
a greater demand for tenorS than ever
before. and not only think tenors are
more numerous than in past years, but
are better musicians and possess better
broadcasting voices than they formerly
did"
Turning to the baritone Werrenrath
does not think he is in greater demand
