RECORDING SPEECHES
STRIKES BOOM HERE
Electrical Transcription for
Broadcasting Does Big Business
With Members of Congress.

From a broadcasting stunt with i'm
provised equipment. attempted only a
few months ago. there is developing In
Washington q substantial industry for
the recording by electrical transcript
ton" of speeches of members of Con-
gress. to be reproduced over their
broadcasting stations back home.
Already one transcription recording
studio reports land office" business
in the manufacture of tranScriptions for
members Of Congress. Now, it is dis
closed, that world broadcasting system,
one Of the big three" of transcription
manufacturers, is opening Washington
studios for the express purpose Of af-
fording members of Congress and Gov
ernment officials opportunity of record
ing speeches and having them placed
over single stations or groups Of sta
tlonS.
1t is understood, too. that the other
large transcription companies are con-
si0ering Washinton studios. This not
only because of the way in which the
remote control means of home broad
casting has clicked, but because this Is
a political year and many members of
Congress who are unable to get home
because of the pressure Of legislative
activities desire to reach their con-
stituents.
An electrical transcription is a spe-
cial process record which, from all out
ward appearances, is a phonograph
record. The manufacturing process,
however, is much more involved, and
transcriptions cannot be purchased by
the public

in those days the elevated railway
stopped at 129th street.
All the rest of the way Al walked or
rode bicycle But he kept coming
for two years. when finally knowing
what she wanted, Catherine Dunn
said Yes"
GATHERINGS father had been a ship
chandler, who. having made a COM
potency. had retired to the Bronx to
live. When she was only little girl
her father died, but the family con-
tinued to live in Third avenue, where
Katy was brought up very carefully
by her mother. who sent her to St.
Josephine's Academy for young ladies.
We'd on SIS a month.
There she studied the usual second
ary school subjects as well as painting
and music, and during the quiet hours
Of the afternoon sat with the sisters
and learned ito sew fine seam"
1t made no difference that her family
thought Catherine with her convent
training. her pretty singing voice and
piano playing. her china painting and
embroidery, might have done a little
better than a S75-amonth process
server She wanted Al and got him.
Every one knows by this time what
this now famous couple did with that
s75 a month, how they took little
three-room fiat back in the old Fourth
Ward. where both Of them were born,
Evening star., 1932-06-05

and how Mrs. Smith did all the work
In the little household even after the
babies came, washing and sewing and
baking and finding time to take the
children on an outing now and then.
But even on that tiny income she
says, I'VE never had any terrible money
troubles. If Al needed new suit, we
talked things over and decided how
much we could spend, and somehow
always made ends meet. And I always
had money in my purse.
Fortunately the $75 a month was soon
boosted to a princely $500 a year,
which sufficed for a happy life for
the first eight or ten years.
But all this Is water that has run
over the mill What about today?
Scorns Social Climbing.
If Al Smith wins the nomination
which he has said he will accept If
it is offered to him in June, and In
turn wins the election in November,
what kind of hostess would we have
in the White House?
Remembering the early days when
she had neither the time nor oppor-
tunity to meet the rich and great,
when she was busy from morning un-
til night with heavy household tasks,
would Mrs. Smith be overawed by the
stately white portals or disInayed by
the great number OF state occasions
at which she would be called upon to
preside?
Nonsense!
That pretentious, conglomerate old
executive mansion in Albany. where
for years she was the hostess, disquieted
her not bit.
Never having been a climber. she
never has had to worry about letting
her foot slip on rung of the ladder,
never having been a poSeur. she doesnt
/ have to be afraid that she is not get
ting away with the pose.
! For she is just herself genial. good
natured, naturally friendly, and the soul
of hospitality. Although now roundly
plump, she is still pretty. and looks
well in the pretty things she can af-
! ford to buy
When she presided in the executive
mansion in Albany, she saw no reason
why folk might not like to come to
lunch. to be well fed and to be made
welcome and comfortable, Just as in
her own home. So she moved right in
and did what she could to dispel the
| lugubrious and almost Overpowering
quality of the red and green walls,
brought in some comfortable chairs for
the reception rooms. installed the three
parrots, two love birds and Pirkie, the
Eskimo dog. in comfortable quarters,
! and for her own sunny rooms she
! brought along collection of dolls
which she had made for her daughters
when they were young.
| If Mrs Smith is not the kind Of
woman to be overawed by high posi-
ton, neither is she the sort who gives
herself undue airs and graces, and
glories in the role of grand lady.
| She is too genuine for that. 1t would
Evening star., 1932-06-05

never occur to her to show of because
she were the wife Of the President of
the United States, instead Of the wife
Of an alderman from the Fourth Ward.
It would all be Just q part Of being AIS
wife.
Politics interests her not at all. II AL
says 1t, it's so. and besides she Is no
talker. But she's a good listener.
Perhaps because Of her convent
training, which taught her to accept
things with self-discipline, and perhaps
because she has q naturally sweet dis
position, Mrs. Smith Is an unusually
placid person. Her face is round and
merry and she Is seldom angry, seldom
wrought up.
She is essentially kind and essen
TALLY democratic. And democracy. it
must be remembered. does not mean
merely being kind to the poor and
humble. 1t means treating the poor
and humble as you do the rich and
great, and treating the rich and great
as you do the poor and humble.
Once when some painters were at
work on her house, she insisted upon
sending the men In for q hot dinner.
She would have been Just as thought
full Of hungry Senator, but no more
SC.
Aside from her pride and interest tn
her husband, the most consuming in
terest in Mrs. Smiths life undoubt-
edly has been her children.
Likes Music and Rhummy.
"It never occurred to me-" she said
once, "and I know it never occurred
to my husband, that there was any
thing in the world that We wanted
more than our children. Simply re-
garded as entertainment, they have
taken the place Of so much that
people without children find necessary
in life
Aside from her children Mrs. Smiths
chief forms Of entertainment have been
her love for the theater, her interest
in music. as. when playing the piano
herself. friends and family have often
gathered around to sing some Of the
popular old airs, and finally as an
added form Of relaxation, the night
game of rhummy which she plays
with her husband, a custom they
started years ago and that they have
kept up ever since.
So If Al Smith should be the man
to lead the Democratic party to VIC
tory this Fall, the word welcome"
will not be blaZoned above the portals
in electric lights, but it might as well
be because that is the kind Of hostess
who will preside within.
Good natured, kind, hospitable, deck
ed out in silks and laces because. now
that the lean years are over. she frank
ly loves pretty clothes and lovely
jewelry: kind to the servants, because
she likes and takes an interest in all
human beings. unaffected, sincere,
genuine. and 100 per cent for Al
that SUNS up Mrs. Smith.

@HOUGH q prickly political thorn
has been removed from the side
of the Federal Radio Commits
i sion, the onslaught upon clear
channel broadcaSting, whereby
rural and remote radio listeners are
supposed to be served by distant nigh
power stations by keeping certain high
ways of the ether exclusively cleared
for them, appears to be under way In
earnest.
Not only have two United States
clear channels been relinqulShed to
Canada for joint use by stations in that
country and this, but another Pacific
Coast clear channel has been reduced
to the regional category by the alloca-
ton of VIGIL, Chicago. to the 970-
kilocycle frequency. which otherwise Is
the clear channel Of KJR, Seattle.
Commissioner H. A. Lafount. stanch-
est commission advocate Of clear chan
mel broadcasting, opposed the decision
but was overridden by his colleagues.
Integrity Guaranteed.
At the same time, however, the COM
mission took steps to guarantee the
integrity of certain other clear chan
eynchronizing experiments by which
taneously with WIZ. New York, on the
latter's clear wave, and VITO. Hart
ford. has operated simultaneously with
WEAF. also New York, on the WEAF
clear wave. The synchroniZation exper-
tments, upon which N. B. c. claims to
have expended more than 100000
since their start more than year ago,
have been ordered stopped after
Sune Is.
The WCFI. decision means that two
b0o0-watt stations will hereafter oper-
ate simultaneously on the 970-kilocycle
channel, the Chicago station having
been given a boost in power from 1900
to 5000 watts. and KJR also having
5000 watts. The channel, accordingly
Is no longer clear for KJR. 1t Is under
stood that the action was taken fol-
lowing agreement with KJR. now owned
by N. B. c.. and that the Chicago
Federation of Labor has agreed to give
up its campaign in Congress for $4,000
watts and an individual clear channel
for VIGIL.
Only Six Clear Channels.
With this step, Commissioner La
fount's fourth zone Of Pacific and Rocky
Mountain States now has only six
Gb4r channels where it is supposed to
have eight under the 1923 ALLEGATIONS
The clear channel Of KGO, Oakland
Calf, no longer was kept clear when
the courts upheld the assignment OF
WGY, Schenectady, to the clear chan
mel originally allocated KGO.
Thus, instead Of 40 clear channels
IN the spectrum, there now are 38
Soon there will be SO. The commission
and the State Department agreed re-
Gently to permit a 50.o00-watt station
to be built for the nationaliZed Cana
dian system to operate on 1,l00 kilo-
cycles, hitherto the clear channel OF
WPG, Atlantic City. and WLWL. New
York. Under the same agreement, a
5Oo-watt station in Nova Scotia is to
be assigned to 1850 kilocycles. hitherto
the clear channel Of KNX, Hollywood

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June (N.A.N.A).-
If get.ing what you want Is the truest
success. I have discovered the worlds
most successful woman.
She is Mrs Alfred Emanuel Smith,
wife OF AL Smith Of brown derby fame,
four times Governor OF New York,
and for the third time candidate for
nomination for the presidency on the
Democratic ticket.
For the thing that Mrs. Smith wants
most In all the world y Al and she
has him. That is really the beginning
and end Of the story. AL the rest
is addenda.
It is true that. aside from Al, she
wanted children to climb on her lap
and love her, and home where
everybody had a good time, and outings
for the children and q little goat
cart for them to play with, and after
a while when they were grown up,
grandchildren to bring back the hap
py days of her own children, but all
along and most Of all. she wanted
the friendship and affection Of AL
Smith. All of these things she wanted,
and all Of these things she has had,
and with the possible exception Of the
goat-cart still has. This surely Is
success.
Content Just as Wife.
But, you may say she saw the por-
tails of the White House within reach
four years ago. and was turned away
That wasn't success.
Nonsense 1t wasn't pretty Katy
Dunn who wanted to be the First
Lady of the Land In fact she didn't
even want to be the Governors Lady
unless AL wanted to be the Governor.
Not that she wanted not to be. For
being the Governors wife. or being the
Presidents wife, for that matter. Is
just all part Of doing what Al wants.
If AL had gone on being a clerk 1t
would have been all right with me"
she once said.
1t was when Al Smith was clerk
serving summonses for $75 month
that she first knew him.
1t was "a years ago that pretty,
dark-haired Catherine Dunn, sitting
on the porch Of her mothers home
in the Bronx, met AL Smith, whcm a
friend had brought to call.
Having come once he came again
and again, and that wasn't exactly
easy. either. For the Dunns lived at
