Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

when his brother Marthin was
transferred from the Washington
N. B. c. staff to New York. Herluf
Is now chief of N. B. C.'s Wash
ington announcers.
He is peculiarly qualified for the
job not only by his vocal capacity,
but by his education. Although
an American citizen, born in
Racine, Wis, he spent 10 years
of his boyhood in Denmark,
where his father, Lutheran min
lister, held royal appointment in
charge Of three churches in Jut-
land. Attending the Danish
schools, including the Royal Naval
Academy, he became the master
of six languages-DaniSh, French,
German, Latin and ancient Morse,
as well as English. He returned
to the United States in 1927 and
attended the University of Wis
consin. Frequently during broad
casts by foreign celebrities, Prov
enSen is assigned as the an
nouncer.
NIPPER, the world-renowned
~ dog of His Masters Voice"
fame, is reappearing in the pub
lie prints, but now it is as de-
lightedly ear-cocked and smiling
denizen of the radio realm. There
by hangs a tale of the almost
complete absorption of one in
dustry by another in the space Of
less than a decade. How COM
pletely the radio industry has
swallowed up the phonograph in
dustry is eloquently evidenced in
the 1881 census of American
radio and phonograph manufac-
turerS, just completed by the U.
S. Census Bureau.
The censuses are combined for
the first time because of the pres
ent close interrelation Of the two
industries. It shows that in 1881,
with a pay roll of more than
$4,000 wage earners drawing
somewhat over 100000 i'll
wages at 214 factories, the COM
bined industries produced about
$195, 100000 worth of equipment
at wholesale prices.
Rejecting the depression, this
was drop of about 60 per cent
from the 1929 peak production
figure of 100000, which rep
resented close to S800,000,000 in
retail trade. The census is taken
biennially.
The Census Bureaus break
down of the figures tells its own
story. Radio receiving sets for the
home produced in 1881, excluding
battery sets and combination
radio-phonograph units, num-
bered 3,650,000. valued at S113,-
214,421 fob. factory. Combina-
ton radio-phonographs num-
bered 1880, valued at S6,2l0,C00.
Photographs alone numbered
only $4,000. valued at S1,675,000,
and records and needles barely
reached a total of $8,375.000.
The rest of the Sl95 100000
total was represented in about
50,Oc0,OO tubes for new sets and
requirements reaching an aggre-
gete wholesale value of about
S27 100000 and by miscellaneous
smaller items such as $4,000 au-
tomobile radios valued at about
$3,000,000: about $4,000 battery
radios valued at about S1,760,000;
about 1,100 radio transmitterS val
ued at about $2,400,000, and vari-
GUS miscellaneous items of small
pr numbers and values.

RADIO HELPS REDUCE
TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
Safety-First Programs Are Com
mended in Letter to
Lafount.

How radio stations are helping to
stem the tide of automobile accidents,
through safety-first programs broadcast
in cooperation with local motor clubs
and other civic groups, is recited in a
communication received yesterday by
Acting Chairman Harold A. Lafount
of the Federal Radio Commission from
the American Automobile Association.
Commencing the commission for the
part it has played in this campaign.
Ernest NJ Smith, executive vice presi-
dent of the association, stated that the
first six months of 1882 saw the first
drop in motor fatalities in the history
Of the automobile. While many factors
have been involved in the downward
trend, he said there can be no doubt
that the broadcasting of safety mes
sages has been most helpful" in en-
couraging careful driving.
Several months ago Commissioner
Lafount called the attention Of broad
casting stations to their opportunity to
render public service by utilizing their
facilities in cooperation with the ma
tional efforts to reduce accidents on
the streets and highways. Mr.. Smith
reported that the response Of stations
has been most gratifying. He said nu-
merous letters from affiliated A. A. A.
motor clubs in all parts Of the country
indicate that the public generally Is ap-
preciative of the way in which stations
have been helping to promote safety.

Puerto Rican Station.

hours a day from WKAQ. San Juan,
owned by subsidiary of the New York
Telephone Co.. Chief Examiner Yost has
recommended to the Radio Commission
that it authorize Roberto Mendez, young
Puerto Rican, to build a new lo0-watt

|, v YHEN the President Of the
\A/ United States delivers q
v Y public addresS-wheth-

Ol1VCo 0VoCCo AS4AVSA0 -
Y Y public address-wheth-
er for political pur-
poses, as at Des Moines, or on
public occasions incident to his
high off1ce-all wires must be
cleared of all else on the
Nation wide networks. That is
why his Des Moines address, in
stead Of consuming the one hour
originally scheduled, caused sew
eral other scheduled popular
radio features to be Cancelled
while he spoke for nearly l hour
and As minutes.
This is one rule of American
radio that is invariable. CONNER
cial concerns which contract for
network time know it when they
write their contracts. A preSiden-
tial address, paid for or not, COM
mands absolute priority over any
other radio program regardless of
time OF delivery or duration Of
talk.
1t happens that the Des Moines
speech, being part of President
Hoover'S campaign for reelection,
was paid for by the Republican
National Committee, just as the
Democratic National Committee
is paying for all of Gov. Roose-
velt's broadcast addresses. But
all political presidential ad-
dresses fall purely into the sus-
tanning category, and are carried
by networks and stations without
charge.
Though they always stand by
for presidential utterances, these
almost invariably result in a dead
loss to the networks and stations.
Even when, as in the case of Des
Moines, the party pays as much
as $4,000 for an 87-station hook
up for so long a period, the radio
people are losers. Why?
Sponsors furnish the where
withal that makes radio pro-
grams possible under the Amer
lean system. When the President
speaks, these sponsors must for
sake their time on the air. Nat
urally, they need not pay for time
not used, and are credited with
that amount. But the artists
scheduled to appear on the spon-
Sored programs are under con-
tracts which call for payment
whether they appear or not, pro-
vided the cancellations are no
fault of theirs. Thus, though the
networks collected full rates from
the Republican party for Hoover's
DeS MoineS address, they had to
take upon themselves the COM
pensation of the artists shunted
aside. In the case of one pro-
gram. Ed Wynn collected $4,000,
his fee per appearance, even
though his Fire Chief" program
had to be Cancelled.
Did it surprise some of you, who
may have tuned from one net
work station to another of the
rival network, that you heard the
same voice introduce and close
President Hoover'S DeS Moines
address? That was because one
of the networks had no Des
MoineS affiliate, and so entered
into a cooperative arrangement
with the other to handle the task
for both. This kind of co-opera-
ton is frequent. though there is
real rivalry between the chains
over the announcing of the
Washington addresses of the
| President.
At Des Moines, as at all other
presidential appearances. the an
nouncer was Herluf ProvenSen of
N. B. c., who is often called "the
Presidents personal announcer.
For nearly three years, Proven
sen, who is only %, has handled
all White House broadcasts. He
is a lad who happened into radio

That American radio manufacturers
are ready at an instant's notice to pro-
duce radio receiving sets coiled to tune
in the long waves, in the event the In

opens up the long waves for broadcast

exporting such sets to certain European
countries.
In Belgium alone they sold 10000

FRANCE KICKS . ON EMBASSY

Paris-CUP)--As the new $1,- 500,000 embassy of the United States takes form on an historic site in the Place de Ia Concorde, It's naked ironwork skeleton now being completed, protest has started that the building h not in harmony with it's neighbors and edstroys the symmetry of the great square designed by Gabriel in the 18th century.
 The Paris satiricaI weekly, "Cy- rano." bIames the municipality for itolerating the building of an em- bassy in such a site and discovers that the embassy will be one story higher than the Hotel Saint Fir entine, across the Place de Ia Con- corde, which 1t is supposed to bal ance.
 The American engineers, its American architects, Delano and Aldrich, graduates of the Beaux arts in Paris, and embassy officials insist that the finished building will complete the harmony of the Gab- riel plan.
 "Cyrano." frightened at the sight of the black steel skeleton. de- clared:
 Everyone, including the Ameri- cans, understood that the embassy was to balance the Rothschild mansion. and in laying the corner stone, Ambassador Edge mention ed that condition. Alas, the em- bassy will be ten feet higher than the Hotel St Florentin. That will suffice to ruin the harmony of one of the most perfect architectural gems in the world. The responsible commission should intervene at once."
 Despite the protest. work is pro- ceeding on schedule, so that the embassy will be completed next June.
