MEXICO GETS MORE
RADIO REGULATIONS
Greater and Greater Control
Makes Broadcasters' Path
Far From Rosy.

Far from rosy is the path Of the
radio broadcaster in Mexico, whose
activities are being hedged about by
more and more government regulations.
Particularly careful is the Mexican
government not to permit the radio to
be used for propaganda that might
foment revolutionary spirit.
Only a few months ago a party OF
alleged Communists raided leading
broadcasting station in Mexico City,
held the staff at bay at gun points
and went on the air for about 10
minutes Of anti-government speech
making. They were stopped only after
the police heard of the broadcaStS and
rushed to the scene.
Perhaps it was this experience which
led President Ortiz Rubio to promulgate
a regulation recently which forbids any
one ito send news or messages whose
text is opposed to the safety of the
state, international good will. public
peace or order, morality" etc. The
same set of regulations, specifically
excluding radio from the category of
public utilities, divides stations into two
classes, commercial" and cultural, "
and requires the posting of bonds with
the minister of communications for the
protection of authors and composers.
Another regulation prohibits Mexi-
can broadcasters from establishing
studios on foreign soil connected by
telephone lines" This law, which
apparently has not been enforced. is
evidently aimed at DR.. John r. Brink
ley's powerful XER, at Villa Acuna, just
across the Rio Grande from Del Rio,
Tex, which Is really an American
station in that it is backed by Ameri-
can capital and its $4,000 watts are
really designed to serve the United States
audience. Most of XERS programs come
from its studios in Del Rio. This
station, the most powerful in North
America and widely heard in the states,
is devoted largely to promoting the
sales of the Kansas doctors patent
medicines.

RECORD
IDEA HITS BRITAIN
London Company Is Formed to
Distribute Canned"
Programs.

Canada and the rest Of Great Brit
aims donlinions and colonies will not
have to wait until the completion of the
new empire short-wave station at Da-
ventry, scheduled before the end Of this
year, to hear all-British programs.
Taking their cue from American
practice. already well known on Cana
dian broadcasting stations, a group of
men have formed company in Lon
don to record and distribute "elec-
trical transcriptions, or programs re-
corded for broadcast reproduction only.
According to adviceS received here,
some of these programs will be fur
niShed for sponsorship by local adver-
tisers in the dominions and colonies.
Essentially a commercial enterprise,
the object of the company is also Ito
strengthen the bond existing between
the people of Great Britain and their
brethren overseas" 1t is pointed out
that similar recordings are already be-
ing circulated in British territory by
American companies and have been re-
ceived very favorably, especially in view
of the fact that it is practically impos-
sible for the unframed ear to distin-
guish them from actual studio presen-
tationS

RADIO SET SERVICE
TO FIGHT FRAUDS
Standard Price Aim of Gen.
trail Organization, Already
Functioning.
BY ROBERT MACK.

TO wipe out fraudulent practices
and to standardiZe prices for
repair and servicing Of radio
i receiving sets, the radio service
men of the country have or
ganized a central organization. Called
the Institute of Radio Service Men, the
organization already is functioning in
key cities, and has as its objective
the nth degree of mechanical perfec-
tion in radio reception
Many frauds, according to Kenneth
Hathaway Of Chicago, executive Secre-
tary of the institute, have been per-
petrated on an unSuspectlng listening
public by some service men. BY charg-
ing exorbitant prices for inconsequential
repairs, he said, such individuals have
wrecked public confidence in their sets,
and are hurting the entire industry.
Standards Are Sought.
"Our purpose" said Mr. Hathaway,
''is to standardize radio service methods
and charges, and to prevent rackets
and frauds through exposing them.
Technical information is being given to
members and a code Of ethics for the
service men is being drafted. The i'm
portance of the service branch of radio
has been overlooked, and as a result,
the number of listeners and the quality
of reception are not what they
should be.
Radio servicing Mr. Hathaway de-
clared, is a vast new industry within
an industry" 1t was created largely
with the advent of the "plug-in" set
in 1927, and now has grown to such
proportions that it has turnover Of
about $100.000,0 900 annually. This is
based on the estimate of approximately
100000 sets in this country, with an
average of $6 per year expended per
set for maintenance. He said there
are about $4,000 radio service men in
the country and that there are $4,000
potential radiotricians."
Patterned After Institute.
The organization, in fashion, Is pat
termed after the Institute of Radio
Engineers, Mr.. Hathaway explained.
In larger centers where there are
sufficiently large groups of radiotricians,
regular forums are arranged for ex-
changes of ideas and discussions of the
problems of the industry Such groups
already have been organized in Chicago
and New York and work is going for
ward along similar lines in Buffalo
Rochester, Boston, Wilmington, Del;
Philadelphia, Albany, Orlando, Fla;
New Orleans, Oakland. Calf; San
Francisco, Portland, Oreg.; Minneapolis,
st. Louis and Vancouver, British
Columbia.

TELEVISION HUNTS BABY

Television-radio in its newest form
and the short waves have had a part
in the broadcasts made by the two
networks in connection with the Lind
bergh baby kidnapping.
Television gave an indication of its
future possibilities when W-2XAB of
the c. B. S. chain sent out on lot meters
electrical reproductions of photographs
of Charles Lindbergh, jr.
Portable short wave transmitters were
set up by both N. B. G. and c. B. S. at
Hopewell, NJ j., with receivers connect
ing to the network located at Princeton.
At Princeton and Trenton microphones
with direct lines also were available.
Short wave equipment was used at
Hopewell because of the lack of wire

Japanese Resent Gap" Name.

Apparently unfounded were the re-
ports that Japan has ordered her anna
teurs to cease communicating with
American and Canadian amateurs dur
ing the Chinese hostilities. Members
of the Japanese Amateur Radio League
are still very much "alive," although
the long span across the Pacific makes
two-way contact with American hams"
rather infrequent. Proof that the Jap
anese amateurs are still active is eVi-
dent from the umbrage several of its
members took when radio circles re-
Gently referred to them as "Japs." To
call them that seems to be an insult.
